NRA Response?
I’ll give you my rubles when you pry (or take) them from my cold, dead hands
A Democratic-aligned group filed a complaint Monday with the Federal Election Commission asking for a comprehensive probe into whether the NRA received money from Russian nationals to help Donald Trump, in violation of campaign finance laws.
It won’t be comprehensive unless it covers all internal body cavities and is performed with a fully-loaded, bump-stock-equipped AR-15.
“oops. Sorry about that. I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.”
Merely low-budget political theater. The FEC hasn’t done anything meaningful since 1981. Or earlier.
Yeah, I’m sure the FEC will get right on this.
The NRA is doing everything it can to dismantle American democracy while simultaneiously introducing its version of the New New Math to schools nationwide.
LOL, bet that would jog a few memories.
What does this say about the NRA that it is being helped Russia which has very strict gun control laws some of which have been made even stricter by Vladimir Putin?
Reagan and Heston are rolling over in their graves. We’re all getting ‘Outrage Fatique Syndrome’ now…
Run for office- the 2018 elections are 10 months away! And if Trump and Louie Gohmert and Steve King can get elected what’s to stop a qualified candidate?
Become a Precinct Committee Officer, sometimes it’s a Ward officer. You’ll meet with neighborhood Dems and get out the vote. Find good citizens willing to run for office.
Register people to vote. If you need to help people overcome the GOP-led Voter run-around help them do that.
Run for School Board. Make sure Civics is being properly taught. Think a majority of America knows how government works? Just 26% of eligible voters in America voted for Trump and half of eligible voters stayed home last November. Today’s 12-year olds will be voting for President in 8 years.
Run for Mayor, City Council, County Commissioner, Borough Assembly.
Get appointed to your Planning Commission. Know everything going on in your community.
Run for State Legislature or Congress. The next census is in 2020, just a year and a half from now, when we redraw Congressional Districts. And Trump is ALREADY trying to rig the census!
And get rid of GERRYMANDERING! Safe GOP seats gave us such intellectual giants as Louie Gohmert and Steve King. In most cases it’s the state Legislature that draws Congressional boundaries. Make it FAIR, OPEN and HONEST! We can do this!
Overturn Citizens United. Money is NOT speech and Corporations are NOT people- at least not until Texas executes one, and overturn any voter ID laws that are clearly an attempt to disenfranchise the poor and people of color.

“We need not reach the question whether the Government has a compelling interest in preventing foreign individuals or associations from influencing our Nation’s political process.”

“I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests, and worse, by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people, and that’s why I’m urging Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps to right this wrong.”

Still think it’s “not true,” Alito?
