100 million gun owners x 10% who really care x $10/person = $100 million to elect pro-rights up and down the ballot

Damn I guess my joke awhile ago about "why don't they just buy the constitution" may have been taken too literal....

SCOTUS
For over a century, Politicians in this country have been for sale.

It's a sham, just like campaign finance reform only gave them more funding just in a different pile o money....

I'm having a blast. I just sent this to EVERY state rep...I wonder how many of them will recognize the message for what it is?

Dear politician,
Are you up for election in 2020? If so, play your cards right & you could be the recipient of a lot of cash come election time. Don't worry if you'll miss out this year because Michael's got a few billion dollars to buy you with as long as you follow the policy below.

All you need to do is lie to your constituents, like was done in promoting I-1639 by Bloomberg/Everytown and his $1,500,000.00 (1.5 million dollar) support for it, and be willing to violate the Washington State and the United States Constitution! Forget any oath you took to uphold the laws of the USA or the state. He successfully bought the Virginia legislature and look how smooth it's going down there.

Lying can pay off big time. In Susan B. Anthony List v. Driehaus, the Court ruled a politician's right to lie during a campaign is protected under the free speech provision of the First Amendment.

Bunch of carpet baggers

Just imagine how stupid they all will feel when not only The Great Orange One wins again in November, but he gets more picks for SCOTUS, and the lower courts! It's those appointments we desperately need, and it would seem the Donald knows this and is pro 2nd enough to give us this chance if he wins!
It's the only hope we have left, and for all the bukz Bloomingturd spends, it's all for nothing in the end when Donny the Great wins again!

 

[CountryGent]

I generally ignore the clown show that is present American politics because it is moronic and a bore. But to be intellectually honest, I have to admit the Trumpster's judicial picks have been solid, and that is most certainly a positive.

Honk-honk.

"A 527 group is a non-profit group organized to raise money for political activities including voter mobilization efforts, issue advocacy, etc., which is tax-exempt under Section 527 of the Internal Revenue Code.

527 groups are political organizations that have no limits on how much they can spend in political campaigns and, most importantly, no limits on how much one can donate to them. Unlike candidates and PACs, which are limited in how much they can raise from one person, contributions to 527 groups are unlimited.

This is considered to be a loophole in the 2002 McCain-Feingold campaign finance law, which sharply limited the ability for people to spend money to influence elections. Candidates themselves can always spend unlimited amounts of their own money, but contributions by others to candidacies are limited to a maximum of a few thousand dollars. 527 groups bypass that limit by raising huge sums from individuals.

The 527 groups cannot advocate election or defeat of a particular candidate, but can educate voters in a way that has close to the same effect. For example, an ad campaign by a 527 group criticized the war record of John Kerry without telling anyone precisely how to vote.

Spending by 527 groups has become enormous, dwarfing other types of spending in elections. In 2006, the spending by 527 groups was overwhelmingly on the side of Democratic candidates, and Democrats have thus opposed limiting them. All three Democrats on the FEC voted against regulating these groups, despite a court order requesting action.[1]"

10% seems like a reachable number but where does that $100 million go and how does it get there?

It goes towards new Gucci suits off Rodeo Drive and 35% pay raises for Wayne LaPierre....

That is where I was going....

Everytown may have their own waste streams but it seems like enough of their money is getting to their cause and with more continuity.

 

[Xaevian]

No, they just have way more of it to waste.

They will all vote for buttberg if he can beat the great Orange one . They have no forethought or concept of reality .The level of stupidity is a embarrassment to our country.

 

[American123]

I'd take 1m to consider voting differently, then after considering it, still vote the way I plan to anyway, hey, I said I would consider it...

What's sad is how daft people are that advertising campaigns are that effective.

Not only are we fighting advertising and a dumbed-down citizenry, we're also fighting anti-gun indoctrination in schools, a 24/7/365 anti-gun media, and many gun owners who claim to be 2A supporters but vote against it.

Man just imagine if we spent all the money these groups on the right and left spend fighting each other on helping people.

We could change the world in a year
