NRA has never been anywhere near the top of that list.

So the 3rd largest lobbying firm decided to get rid of its founder. Then change its name. Then close its doors.
Why haven't we heard anymore about this?
You don't shut down a business like that unless there is a major shitstorm coming down the pipes.

Because the pedos in the media are trying to protect their pedo friends.

Like most lobbyists or large contributors they go through different affiliates to hide the total amount of their contributions just like Soro’s and the Koch brothers.
Lobbyists are the true swamp and cause nothing to get accomplished in DC on both sides.

They must be wicked smaht compared to everyone on their list.
They are demonized be cause of the loyalty of their members.
Hey, maybe by myself I cannot influence much. What if I joined forces with a few million people who think like I do?
Doh

What? Are you a large donor or a lobbyist?
It is estimated that the NRA donated over $50 million in 2016 election(not all to Trump).
What I said is like many large contributors they go through different affiliates. Large contributors like Soro’s and the Koch Brothers go through all kinds of different affiliates.
Soro’s and the Koch’s gave way more than $25 million.

Interesting. I wonder how much of that was spent on clean coal lobbying.
