Start w/ NRA reclassification
We can start changing the rules. Petition, contact Democrats. We need to start with reclassifying the NRA from a "lobby" to a "terrorist organization".
Make it illegal to promote this insane group.
Make it illegal for office holders to take money from this bloody group.
Make it illegal for office holders to take money from their leaders individually.
Make it illegal for office holders to take money from individual members.
Once office holders are not beholden to this group where it counts - their bank accounts.
Once the organization, the leadership. and the members know they can no longer buy office
holders their influence peddling will evaporate.
it's one small tiny step that will upend the argument.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
