Showing Original Post only (View all)Liberals Roar As Elizabeth Warren Vows To Mobilize Democrats To Defeat The NRA [View all]
If the Republican Party would rather work for the NRA than the American people and if they wont do their jobs to keep our children safe, then somebody else has to step up, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) charged during a press call Wednesday afternoon, hosted by the White House with members of Congress to discuss President Obamas actions to reduce gun violence.
Senator Warren framed the issue around keeping our kids and families safer, I wanted to be on this call today because we cant keep waiting to take action that will help stop gun violence in this country and help keep our kids and families safer.
The Republicans who control Congress have had all of the time in the world to do something about gun violence, Warren explained, continuing, And every time the Democrats have tried to get even the smallest reforms passed the Republicans have flatly refused.
The Massachusetts Senator crystallized the issue by calling out Republicans for working for the NRA instead of the people, If the Republican Party would rather work for the NRA than the American people and if they wont do their jobs to keep our children safe, then somebody else has to step up.

Making up a pseudotechnical term (Now it's "HPHCSAR") doesn't make the argument better.
