(2,805 posts)This has gone on, long enough. After Sandy Hook, everyone with a soul should have done something. Repugs and a lot of Democrats are to blame. The voters are clear that they want some sort of controls on this hideous, continuing violence on innocent people.
I think the only countries in the world worse than ours, are at war.

(1,434 posts)and have made my decisions on political contributions for the 2018 election cycle:
1. The Democrat who will be running for Devin Nunes seat.
2. The Democrat who will be running for Issa's sear, probably Doug Applegate.
3. The Democrat who will run against Paul Ryan in Wisconsin.
And I will be sure to send a check to Ryan following this example. Maybe several.

Use a "fake" or something instead.

(10,279 posts)GOPers and Indies to switch their registrations to DEM and send a copy of their new registration cards to their GOP members of Congress. Those politicians are too hardened to be embarrassed by check for the Amount of Thoughts & Prayers. Perhaps a check for real money to an activist group that persuades and aids voters to switch to DEM would do more.

(18,641 posts)Unfortunately, the rep will never personally see it unless he opens his own mail, but it's a solid message. One of many, I hope, in the future. Perhaps Jack insists all checks be sent to his desk, regardless the amount.
Thanx for posting.
