In 2012 Federal Election the NRA spent $32 million

$1 million in Direct Contributions
$25 million in Outside Spending
$6 million in Federal Lobbying

Now using similar numbers for 2015, add in the Koch's pledge of $900 million, the totals are astoundingly heading for $2 billion with only two of the contributors.

To run a campaign against the RW fascist organization any Dem/ Independent candidate will need an equal bankroll just to get their own message out while defending the bloody attacks & lies & accusations against them.

The amount of money needed just to stay in the race is the very reason why a Dem/Ind needs to be elected.
The power of the S Court needs to change, Citizens United ruling needs to be eliminated & this kind of purchase power in our elections reversed.

This is a shame on America.
No person of reason has a smidge of a chance without a shift of power in our Supreme Court.
Something the RWFascists figured out a long time ago.
IMO
