Let's make our Congress persons swear they will take no money from the gun lobby

Let's start a movement: We the People must pressure our Congress Reps and Senators to swear an oath that they will take no money from the gun lobby, not in campaign contributions or any other form. And investigative organizations should keep an eye on Congressional reps and publicly report which ones are taking gun lobby money.

The gun insanity in this country has to stop. An important part of that is getting gun industry money out of our politics.

And while we're at it, make them swear that they'll take ZERO Money from people like Gates, Buffet, Soros, Bezos, Cuban, the Entertainment People, the Gaming Industry, Big Pharma, Wall Street Interests, Foreigners, Big Oil, the Banking Industry, Unions, and pretty much everyone worth more than $500k in US Dollars.

@dakotaviper most of those guys actually contributed to Biden in the last election, especially big tech and big tech companies are huge employers of high skilled people.

@justanothername which means that they support Inflation which is making them Richer.

@dakotaviper inflation actually hurts big tech because it raises the manufacturing cost of their products which then gets passed on to the consumer. So inflation helps no one.

@dakotaviper That would be campaign finance reform. I'm all for it.

@badminton There’s nothing wrong with companies making political contributions as long as it’s all recorded and accountable.

Republicans were probably pissed off during the last election because all the big tech contributions were going to the Democrats. Even Republican CEOs were donating to Biden

@justanothername yes you're right because they knew that prices were going to rise in their favor. Wouldn't you donate money to someone who was going to keep you flush with cash while screwing over the poor and the middle class. Yes you know that you would.
