Gun violence is good for business and Congress

Gun violence good for business and Congress

As long as we allow the NRA and gun lobby to finance members of Congress, we will never see the end to angels and heroes being slaughtered. These people in Congress who are supposed to safeguard us from terror care more about their pocketbooks than they do about the people that sent them to Washington.

When more than three-quarters of the country wants meaningful weapon legislation and members of Congress ignore them so they can continue to line their pockets, we will continue to have slaughters of children and those who try to protect them. We can’t pass needed laws but can get rid of those who won’t. Our vote is the most powerful weapon in our arsenal. If a member of Congress can only send thoughts and prayers, send him packing. Let’s fill Congress with people who work in our favor, not the ones we have now, who are only concerned with their own self interest.

Radical Democratic trend troubling

While I have very little respect for the Democrats in Congress, Eliot Engel was the Democrat in the House of Representatives whom I respected the most. While he was very liberal on social and economic issues, he was consistently pro-Israel.
