PurePolitics.com's 2004 Person of the Year: The National Republican Party

The U.S. National Republican Party has been selected by our visitors and editorial oversight committee as PurePolitics.com's 2004 Person of the Year.

The Year 2004 was a year very historic year in the realm of U.S. politics and global international affairs. During 2004, we had the War on Iraq, Death of Ronald Reagan and Arafat, 9/11 Report, Afghanistan Election, Civil War in Sudan, major hurricanes, election 2004, and the morality split in America.
The National Republican Party made a lot of history in 2004. More than 12 hours after the last polls closed on Nov. 2, 2004, Sen. John Kerry conceded the election and President George W. Bush laid claim to his second term in office. From state capitals to Capitol Hill, Republicans made gains. In the House and Senate, Republicans added to their majorities by consolidating their hold on the South. All 11 state ballot initiatives to ban same-sex marriage passed easily.

Help for the Victims in Asia

With the death toll in southeast Asia still on the rise, groups like the Red Cross are figuring out how they can help.
Local Red Cross leaders said most of the volunteer manpower will come from Asian countries, and the best thing people can do here in the United States is to contribute money. Asian chapters of the Red Cross will use that money to buy food and clothing from nearby countries, instead of shipping them from the U.S.
Some Americans will still volunteer their time and efforts to help with recovery. Those who have done it before said it is not for the faint of heart. Former disaster worker Steve Lente said, "Get rid of the ideals. I mean you're gonna go over and you're gonna be a grunt. You need to dig, you need to haul stuff, you need to do whatever it takes, and forget whatever it is you're going over for except just to help."
If you want to contribute money to the relief effort, you can send a check to the local Red Cross, and make sure International Response Fund is written on the check.
