Certainly thoughts and prayers are having no effect.

Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) [2018 file photo].

From Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) on Facebook:

Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler

I’m truly heartbroken over the heinous shooting in Texas today. Events like these are a reminder that cold, cruel reality can show up at anytime. It reminds us to hold our loved ones close and to always pray for our neighbors and our community.

Now more than ever, it’s time for America to have an honest discussion on the causes of these horrific events.
As these events too frequently dominate the headlines, I urge my colleagues to address the core problems that lead to these senseless acts of violence – addressing the pervasive mental health issues in our country, having an open dialogue about motivators of hatred and violence against other fellow Americans, and stopping criminals from illegally obtaining guns. Above all, we need to re-embrace values of life, respect, and the intrinsic worth of every human being.

Like clockwork.

Some of the responses:

Thought , prayers, mental illness.

How about we have background checks on private sales ? I also think we need a Red Flag law in every state 72 hour hold on your weapons if you are talking self harm or hurting others.

I have known a lot of people with mental health issues. I’m not afraid of them. I’m afraid of people who own guns and feel empowered to use them. Don’t hide, Rep. Hartzler, behind a party line. Be an independent thinker and work to protect Americans from gun violence.

You did nothing to address this issue the whole time you were on your break. You are always heartbroken but never willing to take any action. You talk about mental health but represent a state that is one of the worst for people getting access to healthcare. When will you be willing to do something besides post about it?

I think we need to do more than pray.

Y’all cut funding at CDC for mental health, so once again your concern about how mental health is playing a roll in all the mass shootings is nothing more than a party talking point! I want a BAN ON ALL ASSAULT WEAPONS! I WANT UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS! Pretty simple steps that YOU refuse to initiate or endorse!

Crocodile tears.

Respect for life is all but gone from pur society. Kids watch violence and play violet games from the time they are toddlers. Then we expect them to grow up compassionate humans. We need to address what gets put into the minds of people, the lack of parenting, drugs, bullying, and so much more. Mental illness is a part of the equation and getting the fear out of being open is a huge obstacle.

Uh, people in other countries consume video games at a higher rate than Americans, and yet their gun violence rates are significantly lower. You think it’s the water, maybe?

That last statement is truly laughable given your record.

How would you know the underlying factors? The CDC can’t effectively study the problem because of people like you. Those with mental health challenges have been shown through research to NOT be any more likely to conduct mass murder. The NRA owns you.

You have an opportunity to enact common sense solutions to this challenge based on evidence.

You choose to do nothing.

Blah, blah, blah…. Your party FAILED to do ANYTHING after 20 BABIES were slaughtered in Connecticut. Not just shot, their bodies were blown to bits.. Live with that… THEY voted DOWN legislation that the people of this country wanted passed..

So, are you now for background checks? I can’t tell by the way you characterized the problem.
–
From the evidence available, it’s perceived racial superiority that motivates most of the mass shooters.

Vickie. These shooters do not have mental health diagnoses

Children are in cages – “re-embrace values…worth of every human being.” Umm

How about you start with an honest actual townhall, and then start to enact some GUN CONTROL? Oh wait, the NRA controls you.

How about telling McConnell to bring the house bills to the floor for a vote? Your party refusing to do anything is a BIG part of the problem.

Let the CDC and others actually study the situation and PROVE the connection to mental health … oh – right – they have – there isn’t one.

Hint: IT’S GUNS, VICKY

You’re a joke. You have no spine. How about a #townhall to talk about gun violence and real solutions, like background checks on every sale?

You don’t appear to care about life or you would stop cutting food stamps, encourage MO leaders to expand Medicaid, and impeach Trump before he starts WW3.

Did the NRA write this for you?

Well, someone asked.

“…at least four votes are required for any official Commission action…”

As FEC Nears Shutdown, Priorities Such As Stopping Election Interference On Hold
August 30, 20195:00 AM ET

Barring some kind of miraculous last-minute reprieve, Friday will be the last business day that the Federal Election Commission will be able to function for quite a while, leaving the enforcement of federal campaign finance laws unattended ahead of the 2020 election. [….]

The Federal Election Commission web site:

The Federal Election Commission web site – September 1, 2019

Commissioners

Commissioners are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.

By law, no more than three Commissioners can represent the same political party, and at least four votes are required for any official Commission action. This structure was created to encourage nonpartisan decisions.

Commissioners serve in staggered six-year terms; two seats are subject to appointment every two years. The Chair of the Commission changes every year, with no member serving more than once per term. [….]

“…And they have a plan.”

Josh Hawley (r): you brought up planes

Another sad chapter in the annals of IOKIYAR*.

Josh Hawley (r) [2016 file photo].

Air wars: Hawley flies on lobbyist’s plane after blasting McCaskill
Missouri’s Senate candidates duke it out over whose flights are more unsavory.
By BURGESS EVERETT and ELANA SCHOR 10/20/2018 09:45 AM EDT

Sure enough, we went directly to Josh Hawley’s (r) October 2018 Federal Election Commission [FEC] campaign finance report and there it is:

Travis Brown and Kelly Brown each contributed $2612.50, in kind, dated September 24, 2018 to Josh Hawley’s (r) U.S. Senate campaign. The memo on the contribution report states: “In Kind: Air Charter 9-20-18”

Well, slap my face and call me a republican lobbyist, I’d never consider such a thing possible, given Josh Hawley’s, you know, lack of insider contacts and his apparent aversion to air travel.

Gee, they’re both “self employed” in the “government relations” business. “Government relations” is FEC report talk for “lobbyist”. Charter plane flights not always included.

Travis Brown, Travis Brown…wait a minute, we’ve run into that name before. At the Missouri Ethics Commision [lobbying search]:

Principal: PELOPIDAS, LLC 1034 S. BRENTWOOD BLVD, STE 1700 SAINT LOUIS , MO 63117 […]
Lobbyist: Travis Brown 1034 S. Brentwood Blvd, Ste 1700 Saint Louis , MO 63117 […]

Why, that’s the same address listed for the in-kind contributions to Josh Hawley (r) in the FEC report. Go figure.

It’s not like a lobbyist’s plane hasn’t been an issue in the past:

Today’s Republican Floor Leader co-owns plane with Lobbyist story is (January 16, 2009)

A Plane, a Business, a Representative, and a Lobbyist (January 18, 2009)

A Plane, a Business, a Representative, and a Lobbyist, part 2 (January 19, 2009)

A Plane, a Business, a Representative, and a Lobbyist, part 3 (January 22, 2009)

It’s plane what isn’t going to happen this year when it comes to ethics reform in Jefferson City (December 31, 2009)

We’re fairly certain this is not the aircraft in question – we couldn’t find the registration number on it.

Though it does make an apt metaphor for the blatant hypocrisy inherent in Josh Hawley’s (r) campaign rhetoric.

The more things change, the more they remain the same, and the very same republicans show up with their plane.

They’re all in.

The same people from Maryland who maxed out with individual contributions to Josh Hawley’s ladder climbing U.S. Senate campaign dropped $500,000.00 on a PAC which is paying for right wingnut door hangers distributed in Warrensburg, Missouri.

Interestingly, these individuals didn’t contribute to Josh Hawley’s (r) 2016 campaign for Attorney General. We looked.

Apparently there are attack ads already running in the republican gubernatorial primary. I’m shocked I tell you, shocked.

John Brunner’s (r) gubernatorial campaign released the following statement today:

News from the Trail
Statement on “LG PAC” Commercial
June 04, 2016

“It’s no surprise that John Brunner is being targeted by special interests with flat-out lies. John is the only candidate who can’t be bought and who is not looking to start, extend or jump-start a political career. The special interests have good reason to fear John Brunner as Missouri’s next governor, because John will stand up for ‘We the people’ to take our government back from the special interests, and get Missouri back on the right track.”

-Campaign spokesman Mike Hafner

[emphasis added]

From the Southern Poverty Law Center:

Family Research Council

Founded: 1983

Location: Washington, D.C.

Ideology: Anti-Gay

The Family Research Council (FRC) bills itself as “the leading voice for the family in our nation’s halls of power,” but its real specialty is defaming gays and lesbians. The FRC often makes false claims about the LGBT community based on discredited research and junk science. The intention is to denigrate LGBT people in its battles against same-sex marriage, hate crimes laws, anti-bullying programs and the repeal of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy.

To make the case that the LGBT community is a threat to American society, the FRC employs a number of “policy experts” whose “research” has allowed the FRC to be extremely active politically in shaping public debate. Its research fellows and leaders often testify before Congress and appear in the mainstream media. It also works at the grassroots level, conducting outreach to pastors in an effort to “transform the culture….”

And the money in 2012? (via Open Secrets):

[emphasis added]

Aside from Michele Bachmann (r) and Steven King (r), Vicky Hartzler (r) is the favored recipient of money in the House from the right wingnut Family Research Council.

Gee, that’s quite a list of republican Senate losers. We could probably count Akin (r) and Mourdock (r) as a twofer.

TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 20, 2012 PRNewswire-USNewswire — FRC Action PAC President Connie Mackey released the following statement today regarding Rep. Todd Akin’s (R-Missouri) recent statements about abortion:

“This is another case of ‘gotcha politics’ against a conservative leader. Todd Akin has a long and distinguished record of defending women, children and families. He has fought against forcing taxpayers to subsidize abortion giant Planned Parenthood, which is the bedrock of Claire McCaskill’s base of support. When speaking about the issue of rape, let’s not forget the cover-up of statutory rape by Planned Parenthood, which to my knowledge has not been addressed by Senator McCaskill.

“Throughout his twelve years in Congress, Todd Akin has supported legislation that honors all human life. He has opposed the commodification of women in contrast to his opponent, Claire McCaskill, who has a long record of promoting the abortion industry while ignoring how abortion harms women. We know Todd Akin, and FRC Action PAC enthusiastically endorses his candidacy,” Mackey concluded.

FRC Action PAC is the political action committee connected to FRC Action, a 501(c)(4) membership organization. FRC Action is the legislative advocacy arm of the Family Research Council, a 501(c)(3) organization.

Paid for by Family Research Council Action PAC (www.frcactionpac.org) and not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.
