Top Donors Threaten Dems: Do The Right Thing on Guns, or No More Money
With red state Democratic Senators remaining skittish about embracing Obama’s gun proposals, at least two top Democratic donors are stepping forward and vowing to withhold any and all future financial contributions from any Democrats who don’t support the centerpiece of Obama’s plan: Expanded background checks.

Good, don't fund them, who cares. They'll be replaced next election anyway. Take that to the bank.
I am so sick of money people. Sick your money up your behind!!!Politicians unfortunately are all about their own good though so they will probably cave. Sickning what we have running our country. They all need to be replaced!!!with honest hard working people/
Stop buying the vote against the peoples wishes. I hope the donors walk period.
They need to do away with "donors" period. Give all candidates a fixed amount to use. Do away with the bribes and special interests groups shoveling money to people. They need to start voting with their BRAINS and not because some schmuck is paying their way.
So corrupt. This whole "gun control" crap should be a non starter. Not one piece of their legislation will deter another mass shooting. MD's bill is a tax and a kick in the face, that's it.
If you don't like a TV show...don't watch it. If you don't like a radio station... don't listen to it. If you don't like guns... don't buy one. It's simple, really.
