Done dying for you

An article in Between the Lines, Michigan’s LGBTQ newspaper, reports there is now a No NRA Money campaign. The group asks politicians to pledge they will not accept NRA money. The article says that in Michigan two candidates for US House, two for state Senate, and seven for state House have taken the pledge. Now you can find out who to vote for. We can say take this pledge or lose our vote.

Brandon Wolf is a part of this movement. He survived the shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. He said:
It is time for every politician to take action against the epidemic of mass shootings that have become a frighteningly common feature of American life. The NRA has turned our country into a war zone and Americans are done dying for you. Our children are done being your sacrifices. I lost two friends in the Pulse shooting and I will do anything to support the amazing young people of Parkland who are survivors and advocates for the 17 fellow students and teachers they lost. They have become an unstoppable force and, I pray, the catalyst for the real reform we desperately need to keep us all safe.
