Can someone in either house read out aloud all the people who get money from the gun loby?

[Maraya1969]

Maybe it would make for a great video clip to share and also to get it on the permanent record who is being paid to not give a shit about who gets killed by guns.

And read their ranking from the NRA if that is still used? And the amount of money they get? At least the people who don't follow like us may learn someone.

OR a video/ad with all their names and the money they get.

These people need to be outed to the general public.

1. I offer this instead

How about reading the obituaries of the murdered since Columbine in 99.
We need to get rid of these mass murdering guns.

4. Genie is out of the bottle. There are millions of them out there.

They're not going anywhere. Best we can hope for is better checks & early intervention for prevention. No one is going to turn in their guns & the govt certainly isnt going to go around seizing them.

3. Is there a list

Of members who received money from nra?

5. Here's one list:

Not nearly as much money as I would have expected.

6. Here ya go. From the info commons of the Internet. Hundreds in 2016, not so many in 2018.

Nowhere did I read Manchin's name. Odd. But then, the list doesn't include 2020.

Here's Open Secrets' list in the 2020 cycle -- 3 Democrats in the House, 6 Dems in the Senate.
Didn't see Manchin on those lists, either. Probably dark money?

7. Excellent idea and it should be done on a weekly basis until they're willing to stop with the

Cruz/Kennedy nonsense and find some solutions. I also like the other poster's suggestion to read obituaries of the victims, although at this point that might take up every hour of every session.

8. Read into the record, at least once a week.
