I Challenge Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Mark Cuban, Warren Buffett - Hell Jimmy Buffett....

and all wealthy anti-gun advocates to donate some of their millions to these Parkland Students. We've already had some very notable celebrities donate to their cause - why don't we try and see if we could solicit donations to match or surpass the money that the NRA has at their disposal and fight fire with fire.

Let's grade our Congress and State and Local politicians on their ability to support gun reform legislation. Let's primary those pro-gun politicians out of office.

Let's beat the NRA at their own game.

In the spirit of team reporting


From The Nation magazine:

......"This article is part of a Nation series exposing the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC)...
?
"....Hundreds of ALEC’s model bills and resolutions bear traces of Koch DNA:

raw ideas that were once at the fringes but that have been carved into “mainstream” policy through the wealth and will of Charles and David Koch.

Of all the Kochs’ investments in right-wing organizations, ALEC provides some of the best returns:

it gives the Kochs a way to make their brand of free-market fundamentalism legally binding......"


Please visit ALEC WEBSITE to see what they are up to. Not posting pics or quotes.....fear

https://www.alec.org

Right to Work laws were cooked up by ALEC. Saves GOP lawmakers the tedious task of doing their freaking jobs. ALEC crafts the bills, GOP lawmakers just carry water.

SO RICH PEOPLE, CAN WE AT LEAST TRY A NATIONWIDE ALEC-Law-Writing EFFORT TO

BAN BABIES FROM SHOOTING SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEAPONS? A legal baby step?

Can lawmaker oppose proposed legislation to BAN THIS?

Not to be out done by this 1-1/2 year old shooting AR-15

If sane people had an ALEC-like weapon, we could put this proposed ban before every state legislature and dare then to neglect to pass

THE SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEAPON BABY BAN
