Matching Contributions! The Brady Campaign To End Gun Violence Has A Special Benefactor!
Every dollar you pledge to end the NRA sponsored carnage against our children will be MATCHED...dollar for dollar.

Give $5. It will turn into $10.

Enough is enough. We need to send a mesage that we will no longer stand by and let the slaughter of our children continue.

1. PISS CHENEY AND THE NRA OFF BIG TIME! Contribute to sensible gun regulations
Edited on Fri Apr-20-07 11:40 PM by billbuckhead
Talk is cheap, give money if you want a better world for our children. Your $32 might end up saving a child or a young person.

The gun lobby has lots of neoCON corporate money, small donors can help fight the insanity.

PISS CHENEY OFF!

9. Sure...
Send them your $32.00.

Maybe they can use it as a down payment towards buying a clue.

10. What's that smell? Oh..it must be blood. Freshly spilled blood. That explains why you are here.

17. The Brady Campaign sure has a scent for blood money.
Within hours of the shootings, they had posted on their website the usual hand-wringing drivel about the need for tougher gun control laws and the need to contact your representatives in Washington.

Paul Helmke <while dancing around the May Pole> 'See... see! Didn't we tell you this would happen'!

Now, while I fully undertstand that this is the Brady Campaigns purpose in life, and I've been following their shenanigans for years, even I was a little stunned that they were on this incident that quickly.

3. Great idea!
Then the psychos can start SUICIDE BOMBING, instead! Hey, that'll reduce the numbers of people getting killed! :sarcasm:

Ever thought maybe the slaughter would stop if, say, the mentally ill could actually get treatment? If charges were actually filed against stalkers? Or if schools and universities had armed guards (we're willing to protect our money in armored cars with armed guards, but not our precious children)?

It's not the weapon...it's the killers we need to stop. Killers will always find ways to kill people, many of them far worse than guns. 3000 people died on 9/11 when terrorists threatened people with mere carton cutters, to hijack planes--which were, in turn, used as huge weapons to kill thousands of people. As we speak, people are being killed in the Middle East en masse, by suicide bombers...no guns necessary.

Disarming honest, law-abiding people will NOT stop crime or mass killings! Criminals will ALWAYS manage to get weapons, PERIOD.

4. EVERY OTHER INDUSTRIALIZED NATION HAS LESS GUNS AND LESS MURDER
More cars, more car accidents. More guns, more gun deaths. And yes Switzerland is switching to much stronger gun regulations.

5. DONE!
Edited on Sat Apr-21-07 02:25 PM by in_cog_ni_to
$32 for the 32 people who are murdered every day by gun violence in America! 32 people are murdered EVERY DAY in this country BY GUNS. That's outrageous.

13. What a ghoulish post. Can you possibly defend the gun massacre that happened last Monday?
Do you think it's a joke?

People buried their children today because of gun violence.

Hope you never have to bury your child.

14. Alcohol kills over 200 per day...
Alcohol kills over 200 per day, and more children per day than guns.

http://www.jointogether.org/news/research/summaries/2004/alcohol-kills-75000-annually.html



And this group also pushes a ban on civilian rifles used in around 3% of all crimes.


They're not out to stop deaths, they're after guns.


No thanks.

15. I'm with you, Beausoir.
Send a check for one cent, two cents, perhaps even three cents to support the Brady Campaign! Dig a nickel or dime out of your couch and send it in! Remember, it'll cost them at least 50 cents to process the transaction. So break out the envelopes and empty your change jar (mail one coin at a time, please), because the Bradys need all the help they can get!

Also, are you sure you're allowed to post this? If Brady spamming is acceptable in GD, how about fundraising messages from other Republican-run organizations? Can I beg for change to support Operation Rescue here? How about some donations for that new Answers in Genesis creationist museum? DU could become a very... interesting place.

18. There have been reports...
of Sarah Brady and Paul Hemlke pushing a shopping carriage around Washington DC, and rummaging through trash barrels looking for redeemable soda cans.

16. Thank You, for supporting a repuke false flag operation!!
Every dollar sent to repukes like Sarah Brady or Paul Helmke assures the democratic party of dissent, and ensures the election of repukes!
