Here Are the Oregon Politicians Who Have Cashed Checks from the NRA

>"The National Rifle Association—formerly a dorky club for target-shooting enthusiasts, currently a fundamentalist group valiantly lobbying for white American males' god-given right to buy AR-15s and shoot however many kids they can before the cops show up—donated heavily to Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, lavishing $11,431,118 upon Trump even as they spent $19,756,346 to oppose Hillary Clinton. Trump went on to become president, despite losing the popular vote by 2,864,974 votes.

If you can't take their money, drink their booze, screw their women, and look them in the eye and vote against them, you don't belong here.” ―Jesse M. Unruh. Source/Notes: As quoted in: Neal Peirce, The Pacific States of America (1972) ...
