It&#8217;s called Enough, and it&#8217;s about why they are working to keep America safe from gun violence.<\/i><br \/>\n<i><br \/><\/i><br \/>\n<i>We know that some people might contribute less than the book costs, and that&#8217;s OK.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;I took them at their word. While I tried to contribute what the book was worth &#8211; $0.01 &#8211; it wouldn&#8217;t let me. However, it did let me contribute a mere buck.<\/p>\n<p>The way I figure it the cost of postage using Media Mail is at least $2.69. The book which has a MSRP of $25 and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Enough-Fight-Keep-America-Violence-ebook\/dp\/B00IDSKL00\/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1410632105&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=gabby+giffords\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">is selling for $18.63 on Amazon<\/a> must cost them at least $5 a copy.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, for an investment of $1, I&#8217;m costing Americans for Responsible Solutions a minimum of &nbsp;$7.69. That is a net $6.69 that can&#8217;t be used to take away my civil rights.<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m not suggesting you do this but if you&#8217;d like to take them up on their offer, <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.americansforresponsiblesolutions.org\/page\/contribute\/enough-book-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">go here.<\/a>&nbsp;You&#8217;ll end up costing them some money and you&#8217;ll be able to keep an eye on what the anti&#8217;s are up to.<\/p>\n<p><b>UPDATE: <\/b>As a commenter below has mentioned, it now takes a $25 or more donation to get the book. At that price, they can keep it.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>Thanks for your interest in supporting Americans for Responsible Solutions PAC. This promotion has ended at this time. However, you can still receive a copy of Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly&#8217;s book Enough with a donation of $25 or more on this page.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Nonetheless, it reads as if those of us who &#8220;donated&#8221; a buck will still get the book.<\/p>\n<p>Take this as a reminder that our opponents may be misguided, misinformed, and malcontents but they aren&#8217;t stupid. I&#8217;m guessing, though I have no proof, that they woke up to the number of low donations that they started getting.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got an email the other day from Mark Kelly (aka Mr. Gabby Giffords) offering me a copy of&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":4,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[488,490],"class_list":["post-1588","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-gabby-giffords","tag-mark-kelly"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1588","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1588"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1588\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9997,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1588\/revisions\/9997"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1588"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1588"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
