I saw an interview with the boat operators mother on the news last night. She said they were trying to get a very large tuna over the transom and all the weight in one spot caused the boat to take on enough water to put it down in a matter of minutes. They didn't even have a chance to get their life jackets on.

Worst part of the story is that they told the mother that 4 boats passed right by them and kept going without stopping to help.

	Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
