An interesting (controversial?) ad from "Mothers for Democracy." But is it effective? Or is it just preaching to the choir?

 

[blueharvest]

I mean, the ad is for Texas, I think, so I can't imagine it will do much good there. But I like what they're trying to do.

 

[Teelie]

Texas is slowly turning purple but the red keeps fighting and doing everything it can, legal or not, to keep it red. The commerical is good though I agree, nothing will change as long as the NRA has their chokehold on the GOP.

Kinda late now, isn't it?

 

[Teelie]

"I'm sorry the NRA paid me too much money to do anything about the constant murder of innocent children" isn't good enough.

Now if only the other states would do the same.

There's something to be said about karma.

 

[squeekness]

Maybe he might have to think about actually locking up his guns. Geez.....

Lock it up?

It was a Christmas present...

To a six year old.

There's an organization that needs to fade away into the dust.
