I support severe campaign finance reform, but I don't think it's particularly helpful to keep pointing fingers at just the NRA. Big Pharm, Oil, Banking--they all do the same thing. If you care about gun control, though, it's useful to know who is getting substantial contributions from the NRA. I care enough about this issue to possibly be a one-issue voter next time around. I've never done it before, but I'm considering it.The local paper this morning listed every Maine Congress critter and all the candidates running for spots in 2018, reporting how much in contributions each had accepted from the NRA. Got statements about the welcomeness of such contributions from some of them, too.Presented by the same loons who gave us that daffy Women's March....LOL
People are pretty angry at the congress getting paid off by the NRA, why aren't you fighting that Sassy?
This kind of reporting that just provides the facts so the voters can decide is good reporting.
Awesome ... we need to expose these people being paid off not only by the NRA, but paid off period to scratch the backs of them instead of the people.
Of coarse the morons voted down a transparency window into where their campaign money comes from..
Me thinks this is going to change..maybe by big protests..
I would march for that..
.
I also sent a long missive to my senators this a.m. Not for one side or the other, but forming a coalition to address change in a unified way, instead of piecemeal the way it is now. There is no strong voice opposing the NRA's "Just Say No" stance. We need a "Yes to Safety" voice.
