Purge government of NRA influence

Helene Miller Walsh is running for re-election in the Illinois 51st district. The Republican Party appointed her to complete the term of its prior representative, who was dealing with allegations of sexual misconduct. Helene's positions are as erratic as those of her husband, Tea Party advocate Joe Walsh.

For example, she is a member of Project Hood, an organization which aims to deter violence - and the NRA, an organization which promotes the sale of violent weapons. That makes no sense. It also conflicts with the top priority of suburban citizens: the prevention of school shootings.

We owe it to our children, and to the survivors from Parkland, to purge ourselves of the influence of the NRA.
