did by printing what the various lawmakers received (actual dollar amounts next to each of their names) from the NRA. This needs to be run on a continuous loop on all news sites 24/7 until the midterms. We can't let this be forgotten. The media could do this. Maybe Tom Steyer should run ads like this along with his Impeach the moron ads.
