Well duh!!!! Of course this is happening because those currently in those seats aren't doing their job in relation to what their constituencies are demanding - we need to replace them with those candidates that will vote the will of The People.
This is what is supposed to happen in a Democracy. Put people in office that will vote the will of The People and not the whims of special big monied interest groups that buy influence in D.C.
We have to get the money out of politics. It's killing us. We have too many career politicians that are in office just to fatten their wallets and vote against the wishes of The People.
Is there an organization that rates office holders like the NRA does - but in a reverse manner? If not - we need to create one where we can call out these career politicians that are only on the take for their own benefit.
If politicizing an issue like 'gun control' - we need to do that in order to get those politicians in office that will vote the will of The People and not their pocketbooks and careers.
We need to embarrass those politicians. We need to remove them from office. We need to keep the political pressure on them until they either do the right thing or we need to get them voted out of office.

It's a naked grab for votes, particularly from the hapless Republicans who must be in favor of more carnage, bloodshed, mayhem, and murder if they want that sweet, sweet NRA money to keep lining their campaign coffers.
It's just so unfair!
