Judging from the make up of the FEC Commission it will be more like “peeking at” and then looking away.

Yet again more vacancies eroding the government.

“The new policy, announced Thursday, prohibits the sale of firearms to customers who have not passed a background check or who are younger than 21. It also bars the sale of bump stocks and high-capacity magazines. It would apply to clients who offer credit cards backed by Citigroup or borrow money, use banking services or raise capital through the company.”

FYI

The location: The stage will be at Third Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, by the National Gallery of Art. Rally participants will have three points of access to the area: Pennsylvania Avenue and 12th Street NW, Constitution Avenue and Seventh Street NW, and Indiana Avenue and Seventh Street NW.

The program: Performances and speeches will begin at noon and continue until about 3 p.m. Participants are expected to arrive much earlier. Performers include Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, Jennifer Hudson, Common and Vic Mensa.

The march route: Organizers said there will be no march because of the large number of people expected to attend. The group will rally along Pennsylvania Avenue NW from Third Street NW to 12th Street NW. There will be audio and video available throughout that route.

See you there!

Looks like 60 degrees and sunny. Good day for a protest.

Taylor Swift has actually taken a political stand on something. Oh man, she’s usually pretty shy on making moves like this. If she feels she can take a stand about this, she knows how unpopular the NRA is. Hahaha those guys are truly screwed :laughing:

They expected 8,000 folks showing up in Portland; I expect a lot more than that showed up.
