The bastion of leftist propaganda known as MoveOn.org has been a big factor in promulgating anti-traditional talking points since the Clinton administration.
Not wanting to miss an opportunity to weigh in on the contentious gun rights debate, the highly partisan group recently announced a new television commercial aimed at outing legislators who have taken donations from the National Rifle Association.
The ad features a self-described Second Amendment advocate who easily becomes a willing pawn in the call for stricter gun regulation.
“I’ve had enough,” Jerry Thompson said in the commercial. “So here’s my message to Congress. You take money from the NRA and continue to do their bidding, we’re going to remember that come election time.”
He ends by declaring, “The NRA doesn’t speak for me,” which also happens to be the name of MoveOn’s ad campaign.
I believe the association between lawmakers and lobbyists should be examined, though the NRA has historically been a stalwart supporter of Constitutional rights.
When MoveOn trashes a group for standing up for liberty and wanting to deal with the real causes of violence, it really says more about them than the NRA.
As legislators openly support confiscation of legally purchased and owned guns, the NRA is one of the more vocal proponents of gun rights.
Since an armed populace poses a threat to a tyrannical government, though, far left groups like MoveOn are eager to sully the reputation of such defenders by claiming “they don’t speak for the vast majority of Americans,” as Thompson said in the ad.
MoveOn isn’t stopping with the television spot and released plans to organize rallies, visit lawmakers at their offices, and offer bumper stickers proclaiming “The NRA Doesn’t Speak for Me.”

MoveOn is controlled by Soras and Obama. It spews their lies and is incapable of telling the truth. So, who believes them, except for the “stupid” part of the American population.
That would be about 50% of the population wouldn’t it. Seems obvious that at least half of the American population that was active in this past election are obviously stupid enough to repeat their mistake.
“The NRA doesn’t speak for me” ….we already know who the NRA doesn’t speak for. We the people are watching those we sent there to speak for us, and they better keep speaking for us or they won’t have a job. The majority of people are proud to have the NRA speak for us and if they keep pushing this stupid gun control effort, they will find out that, again, “most” is a word the left like to say and I really have to laugh when they say Obama won means most of America feels like we do. We don’t. You are trying to take, restrict or control the only thing I have between me and you. The constitution is the only reason America works.
Not sure where MoveOn.org is coming from, but they sure as he11 don’t speak for most Americans…
2010 Census puts the US population at 281 million. The NRA is just small group of 5 million plus, speaking on behalf of the 112 million gun owners in the country.
Looking at those that can’t legally own a gun in the country, wherein they really don’t have a say in this matter…
26% of the population or 72.6 million were under the age of 18 and can’t legally own a gun
1.5 million are housed in State and Federal Correctional Institutions
.762 million are housed in local jails
4.88 million are on parole or probation
5.85 milion are convicted felons
14 million are illegal aliens
Looking at those numbers alone, that leaves just 70 million people in the US, or 1/4 of our 281 million population. I don’t know, but I just don’t see a “most of the people” in that picture.
Now, let’s sit back and wait for them to tell us all about how the Constitution protects minorities.
My M1A speaks for me.
Why are there no ads concerning lawmakers that get foreign donations? That is a bigger problem than NRA donations.
