Who’s Behind The ‘Grassroots’ Anti-NRA Campaign?
Daily Caller ^ | 2/22/2018 | ANDREW KERR

Posted on 03/27/2018 2:26:44 PM PDT by bitt

Not all is as it seems at the organization behind a nationwide grassroots movement that seeks to make the National Rifle Association “politically radioactive.”

Within 24 hours of last Wednesday’s mass shooting at a Florida high school that left 17 dead, gun control activists had concocted No NRA Money, an organization behind a national grassroots pledge campaign that seeks to “break the NRA’s stranglehold that has thwarted meaningful progress on common sense gun policy.”

But No NRA Money’s claim to be a grassroots movement is questionable. Hidden within the HTML code running No NRA Money’s website is a link to a digital asset hosted on a website ran by Equality Florida, an LGBT advocacy organization.

The digital asset in question hosted on Equality Florida’s website is none other than the logo for No NRA Money.

The pledge drive has already attracted the support of thousands of voters and over 60 candidates for public office across the United States, including Democratic candidate for governor of Iowa Cathy Glasson.

Definitely Soros funded. If we had a real DOJ he would be charged with crimes against America.

“Lots of hidden liberals.”


No, NOT liberals. LEFTISTS.

It may seem like semantics, but there is a fundamental difference between the two groups. The liberal disagrees with you, strongly, but respects your right to disagree and the process of politics (which necessarily includes the possibility that their side might lose). Leftists, OTOH, are ONLY interested in the ends - which is them gaining power over as many others as possible. They don’t care about the means from a moral point of view, the only care that the means they use SUCCEED.

Liberals are (IMHO) deluded, naive and (sometimes) just plain stupid/ignorant. Leftists are EVIL.

Just my $0.02.

Good difference. I’ve always lumped the two together.

AD AGE magazine for the Public Relations and Advertising community ran a widely publicized campaign for professionals to build and post re-printable signs that anyone can download and print in any size from billboard to business card ... or smaller.

Ad Agencies competed and gave awards for the best, which were published in the magazine and a great plus in the portfolio of an aspiring PR community climber. Participation in this type of public service activity is a must for promotion in the PR and advertising community.

"...liberals compared to leftwingers..."


Totally agree with you regarding there being a significant difference between the two descriptions.
I have longtime friends who are liberals who wouldn’t hurt an ant. They are ridiculous with their beliefs, yet basically harmless.
Meanwhile there are hardcore leftwinger statists who wish to see us dead, our families dead, and our homes burned to the ground.

Doesn’t the NRA donate only pretty trivial amounts directly to candidate campaigns?

“millions of dollars they have out of ‘nowhere’.”

Was listening to a guest on the local radio show a director of a food program in the loudon county schools in virginia. This lady was poor mouthing and begging for donations and hawking their website. Talking about the poor hungry children. Begging for someone to give them 20,000 dollars to cover their free lunch fund for needy kids.

These are the selfsame schools that are shipping these kids to dc for their day of protesting marching around. the DNC and the Celebrities donating multimillion dollars to ship these kids around. Private Jets and Hundreds of Charter Buses.

My thought was that if the DNC and celebrities really cared they’d donate that cash over to the schools to cover this fund. They could feed those kids for YEARS.

I was wholeheartedly disgusted.
