Let's make a deal. Our devout and thoughtful will pray and think a little more, so our 100 Senators can focus their attention on making OUR thoughts and prayers come true--that they come back from vacation to protect us from being murdered as we try to celebrate our "freedom."1/7
I remeber when I first saw this @TheOnion article in 2014. Despite the fact it has been able to be republished on what feels like a daily basis, politicians are still in office who are funded by the NRA. 2/7

One of the amazing things you learn when you run for office, is the absurd amount it costs to get your name out. Not only does it allow you to advertise to more people, but many voters (and other donors) view your ability to bring in money as a qualifier for holding office. 3/7
When we prioritize having and spending money are over how well you would govern, we end up in the position we are in now. The NRA isn't just corrupting politicians, their money allows the wrong people to amplify their voices over ours. 4/7
That's why Citizens United must be overturned. We can't make change unless we fix the underlying causes of our problems and this is one easy way to make an impact quickly. The problem is, many people who are in office won the money game and don't really want to lose control. 5/7
How many communities and people have to be directly impacted for us to reach a tipping point where we finally ban assault rifles? The answer is proportionate to how hard it is to compete with money that only supports people misaligned with our values. 6/7
I'm proud to be an @MomsDemand Gun Sense Candidate. I will never take money from the NRA and I will never take a two week vacation when my constituents are getting gunned down in the streets by assault rifles. #MomsDemandAction #everytown 7/7
