1. I have spent the past hour trying to find what all congress members have gotten from the NRA

in total over their time in office.

I am in Iowa home of 2 of the top dogs, Ernst and Young (yes really - Joni Ernst & David Young).
But I would like to see a number on Rod Blum and the racist Steve King.

I would also like to find a number for my daughter's A+ rated congress critter, Darin LaHood in Illinois.
The best Io could find is what you have there.

Any ideas - I have tried twisting Google every way I can think of.

Thanks for posting this though - it is still good info.

3. The more I research these numbers, the more I suspect inflated...

I will do more research but am deleting this post soon if numbers don’t match....

Just found this that backs up numbers.... http://www.businessinsider.com/nra-political-contributions-congressional-candidates-house-senate-2018-2

4. I am not doubting the numbers. Just wish they were a bit easier to find

I know direct contributions to a candidate are just a drop in the bucket compared to "educational superPAC" ads that the NRA ran and ran and ran and ran..............

Thanks to the SCOTUS

6. The business insider one? I did

and the chart didn't show.

I am using Safari - I will try later in Chrome

Edit to add:
Worked with Chrome! Than you so much - plan on doing a blog post on this next week

2. Request the info from the president of the NRA, Ollie North. Surely, he is

sufficiently proud of the NRA's work that he will provide the numbers.
