Cool information about NRA support/opposition, from ResistBot!

[spooky3]

I don't know if any of you have used ResistBot (text "resist" to 50409) to send messages to your Senators or Congresspeople. I just got a text saying they have a new feature that might interest you. If you text "NRA" after signing up, you'll get info about NRA contributions.

Here is info for my local reps:

According to the Bot,

"The NRA spent $0 in direct and outside support to help Sen. Mark Warner win, and $478,480 in opposition."

"The NRA spent $0 in direct and outside support to help Sen. Tim Kaine win, and $713,155 in opposition." (wow, they REALLY don't like him)

"Rep. Donald S. Beyer, Jr. hasn't received money from the NRA." (it's a safe blue district, so they may not have spent any money in opposition either)

"Your officials have no direct contributions to return..."

1. Very cool. Thank you.

$130,000 to support Johnny Isakson.
$1,997,512 to support David Perdue. (That guy has turned out to be a real asshole, even for a repub.)
$0 to support my congressman, John Lewis.
