I got this email from Setti Warren, who's trying to run for governor on the "I'm more liberal than you can possibly conceive of" platform
Ah, yeah, the "right wing base" in Boston. That's what, a couple guys at an American Legion post playing a game of dominos?
Massachusetts has some of the strictest gun laws in the country, and that makes us a tempting target for the deadly political influence of the NRA.
For more than a year, the Massachusetts NRA has organized a steady stream of attacks on Attorney General Maura Healey for her work to enforce the assault weapons ban. The NRA has encouraged harassment of Maura and her staff. Last year, they organized a rally in which she was depicted as Adolf Hitler. They've even filed a law suit to try to stop her from doing her job.
The NRA is at work in Massachusetts and we can't back down from this fight.
A few months ago, Gov. Charlie Baker appointed the head of the Massachusetts NRA to a plum state government job. Charlie Baker made this appointment for one reason: to appease his right wing base.
The fight against the NRA isn't just something that is happening in far away states. It's a battle we need to fight right here at home as well. We're going to take the fight to Baker and his NRA allies, but I need your help to match their seemingly endless resources.
Please, donate to my campaign so we can begin hiring organizers, recruiting volunteers, and building the largest grassroots campaign in Massachusetts history. With your help, we will take on the NRA here in Massachusetts and across the country.
