A national campaign demanding that political candidates reject funding from the National Rifle Association (NRA) was launched days after the most recent mass shooting on a school campus in Parkland, Florida that took the lives of 17 children and adults.
Called #NoNRAMoney the campaign has one purpose: To break the stranglehold the NRA has on politicians that has shut down rational gun policy for decades.
The website www.NoNRAMoney.org features two petitions: One allowing candidates to publicly reject NRA support, the other for voters who vow to oppose any candidate who takes NRA money.
"We are putting candidates on notice: If you take a penny of NRA money you don’t get our votes. You can serve the gun lobby and the NRA or you can serve the people but you can’t do both," said Nadine Smith, one of the organizers of the effort.
