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.

Every lobby, the solar/wind/greenies, no money to or from Planned Parenthood, no money to or from PBS/NPR, no money from the Trial Lawyers lobby, no subsidies for farmers, no corporate welfare,

Simplify the tax code, make it flat so no one can cheat. If you made a dollar send in a dime.

No one in congress will even consider this even though it would improve things tremendously. Solving problems makes government less relevant. For the politicians, aggravating the problem gives them something to run on.
