Shoot em up Charlie discovers ALEC, the NRA & your Representatives! Mark Fiore

Would anyone care for a cool frosty Koch, brother? It’s the pause that refreshes – your representative’s bank accounts. ‘Shoot-em-up Charlie’ – a popular son of a gun in this country, reveals the expected and the unexpected big names which assure that incidents like Trayvon Martin will continue with no punishment, or change in the National discussion of racism.
It’s obvious that the heavy influence comes from the NRA and from ALEC, ‘American Legislative Exchange Council" – guess what they’re exchanging in return for their votes?  

 You may not be surprised to learn that companies such as BP, Coca-Cola, Bayer Aspirin (now a contraceptive too), Kraft and Pfizer – to name a few, are pouring money into the arming of America. Nor will you be surprised when ‘Charlie’ points out that the same companies also pay your representatives to halt health care, break up unions, fight living wages for you – and lobby for private prisons – the better to jail more non-violent offenders who would otherwise go free, paying fines and perhaps doing community service!
