Heating Up

Summer is almost here! We take a lot of our freedoms for granted during these warm months, with barbecues, road trips, and other summer activities we get to enjoy. But the fun won’t last forever. November is almost here, and if Question 1 passes, Nevada will be less free. [More]
And then Bloomberg will be free to move on to his next target. Your state, perhaps?

I've been privy to some online discussions by people knowledgeable of the on -the-ground situation in Nevada that NRA has moved in and tried to take over, elbowing out and ignoring the grassroots activists who have been with the fight in their state since the start. Among other obvious problems with that, it undermines the heretofore useful charge against "out-of-state Astroturfers."

Professional assistance with campaign strategies, effective messaging, fundraising, organization, staffing, contacts, etc. would all be welcome. Acting like the locals don't matter, an M.O. many in other states will recognize, should not be.

It actually discourages, and snuffs fire from bellies.
