And I'll give you a story, an example.
I've got a friend now.
He's a longtime Heritage donor.
He's a friend who's a retired OBGYN.
And he sent me a, I won't use his name because it sounds like I'm being nasty to him.
It's quite the opposite, as you will see.
But he sent me this email about a year or two into my tenure at Heritage.
And he said, Kevin Roberts, I know that you are a big pro-lifer and I know that pro-life is a big issue for Heritage.
We work on every issue.
We're one of the few entities that does.
And he said, but you emphasize it so much for reasons I can't understand.
Yeah, I'm reading this the way I think he's writing it.
That I'm just thinking we're not going to be donors.
Well, I called him.
And I said, David, I'm not calling to restore your gift.
I'm calling to listen.
He said, well, I'm surprised that you called me.
I said, why?
He said, because the email was a little hot.
I said, no, talk to me.
