Today’s Action: Hold Congress Accountable for NRA Support
There’s no mystery around why Republicans work so hard to prevent common sense protections against gun violence. The National Rifle Association (NRA) lined Congressional Republicans’ pockets with nearly $6 million in 2016 and spent a staggering $30 million to elect Trump.
For Trump, that comes out to just $1,695 for each life lost to gun violence since Election Day — that’s all it took to get him to turn a blind eye to the national epidemic that continues to claim the lives of our nation’s children. That’s all it took to get him and his enablers to live with the blood on their hands.
Visit OpenSecrets.org to see how much your Members of Congress receive from the NRA – and contact them by email or phone (202.224.3121) to ask them how much a life is worth.
Tell them any donation from the NRA, no matter how small, is unacceptable to you.
As the majority of the nation joins the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School community in Parkland, Florida in sorrow and outrage over the 17 lives lost to gun violence last week, Republicans in Congress have made their statement: reelection is worth more than the lives of innocent teenagers.
That’s why it’s up to us to call them out on their blood money.
Click here to find out how much your reps receive from the NRA. Then, contact your Members of Congress and tell them that even $1 is too much support – and that you won’t vote for any candidate in November who values their own job over the lives of America’s children.
