I'll add on to why the NRA is opposed. Not only are 501c(4)'s hit, "Educational groups"(AGS, McStain's buddy McKelvey) win big. These big corporations also are usually MAJOR funders of gun grabbers. The Tides Foundation, Joyce Foundation, and the like win big, why the NRA gets hit bad. HCI gets hit too, but not AGS, which is a bigger threat anyway.

501(c)4's are considered at least under Michigan Law, Corporations. I know that because I'm treasurer of one of these groups. This thing hits very close to home, and now puts my vote up for grabs. Bush hasn't lost my vote, but he isn't garanteed it. I won't be campaigning for him either, nor will give him any help. I'll be spending my time helping good CONSERVATIVE republicans like Mike Rogers, who voted AGAINST CFR. He's worthy of my help.

So Bush sucks here, along with his allies Carl Lenin and Debbie Stabusall.

Dan, anyone who bases their political vote exclusively on 2nd Amendment voting records or platforms doesn't need an 11th hour NRA blitz to enlighten them. They know. If they don't know, they don't care enough to change their vote with any last minute information anyway. It's either an all-encompassing issue for a voter, or it isn't. .

The game is turnout. The Democrats work harder to get their loyal groups to the polling place. The ministers arrange the buses, the unions contract for time off, the elderly and infirm get "help" with absentee ballots. Democrat voters are located in close proximity, they're easy to organize on election day. They're voting themselves financial benefit, that's an easy sell.

Try recruiting some of our pals here on FR on election day by knocking uninvited at their front door. I'd recommend voting absentee in advance, and Dan I will be the first to say some really sincere and respectful things about you in your FR memorium. People that want to be left alone are difficult to organize.
