There are a few background things all of us need to remember about the Democratic sit-in<\/a> in the House of Representatives<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Hill<\/a> posted an article today about the fund raising efforts the Democrats<\/a> are relating to the sit in.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee<\/a> (DCCC) sent a brief email shortly after the sit-in crossed into Thursday, signed by Minority Leader<\/a> Nancy Pelosi<\/a> (Calif.<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n

“This is an historically important moment! John Lewis<\/a> has been leading a sit-in on the House floor for 11 long hours now. We\u2019re fighting to prevent gun violence<\/a>,” the email reads. “The Republicans refuse to lift a finger. It\u2019s shameful. I need your help to defeat them once and for all.”<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
The email asks for 6,000 donations and gives several options to donate amounts between $1 and $250.\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
It was at least the sixth such email from the DCCC as the sit-in gained steam. Several were signed by Lewis, a civil rights leader and Georgia representative who has lead many of the demonstrations on the House floor.\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

As usual, follow the money. But wait! There’s more!<\/p>\n

The Democrats are complaining about the Republican filibuster of the two anti-Second Amendment gun bills the Democrats wanted to pass. What about the Democratic filibuster of the two common-sense gun bills the Republicans wanted to pass? (further details here<\/a>) This is political theater aimed at the uninformed voter. Don’t be that uninformed voter.<\/p>\n
