Publicize the Names of Every Legislator Receiving NRA Money

It's time to lay every massacre of innocent children, women and men at their doors. Don't let them go
into hiding or remain silent. Everyone of them has blood on their hands and Americans have to
scream that out loud and clear. They can redeem themselves by being part of the solution--that could
get them killed of course. The NRA will threaten them and insist on their silence and avoidance in any
conversation leading to any form of enforcement--the coward's way. Hold them accountable. It's the only way
anything can change.

The National Rifle Association goes to great lengths (and spends a huge sum of money) to defend the right to bear arms. It is opposed to virtually every form of gun control, including restrictions on owning assault weapons, background checks for gun owners, and registration of firearms.

NRA’s influence is felt not only through campaign contributions, but through millions of dollars in off-the-books spending on issue ads and the like. Following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the NRA supported proposals to arm airline pilots with guns. Between 2001 and 2010, the NRA spent between $1.5 million and $2.7 million on federal-level lobbying efforts. During the 2010 election cycle, the NRA spent more than $7.2 million on independent expenditures at the federal level -- messages that advocate for or against political candidates. These messages primarily supported Republican candidates or opposed Democratic candidates.

They don't have to actually donate much because the legislators believe they would be buried in negative ads if they don't toe the NRA line.

A very cost-effective method.
