Democracy 21 is a leftist organization, staffed by some people who also work for People for the American Way. Their General Counsel also works for Gifford’s anti-gun lobbying organization, Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.

Alinsky tactics.

Congress has oversight through committees, and can demand whatever information they damn well please.

DOJ/FBI either hand over the imformation requested, or their leadership is impeached, removed from office, and their agencies de-funded.

"...Democracy 21..."

Anyone else think that name sounds like a Soros Open Society organization?

Of course it is. Before I clicked "post" I had to check to be sure...from their own web page Our Mission|Democracy 21:

***********************************************

Democracy 21

Democracy 21 is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to making democracy work for all Americans. Democracy 21, and its education arm, Democracy 21 Education Fund, work to eliminate the undue influence of big money in American politics, prevent government corruption, empower citizens in the political process and ensure the integrity and fairness of government decisions and elections. The organization promotes campaign finance reform and other related political reforms to accomplish these goals.

Our Focus Democracy 21 provides the public and media with the latest information and analysis on money and politics and campaign finance reform efforts. The organization’s activities include:

Promoting campaign finance reforms, including the creation of a new public financing system for presidential and congressional races to empower citizens by providing multiple public funds to match their small contributions, ending secret money in federal elections by enacting new campaign finance disclosure laws, curbing the role of Super PACs in federal elections and creating a new system to effectively enforce the campaign finance laws;

Working to develop technological breakthroughs by which the internet and social media can be used to empower tens of millions of citizens to make small contributions online and fundamentally change the way campaigns are financed;

Bringing lawsuits and filing briefs to defend the constitutionality of the nation’s campaign finance laws and to ensure the laws are effectively interpreted and enforced;

Participating in administrative proceedings and filing complaints to press administrative agencies and enforcement bodies to properly administer and enforce the laws;

Promoting other government integrity reform measures, including lobbying, ethics and transparency laws and rules; and

Serving as a watchdog to hold federal office holders accountable for violating campaign finance laws and ethics rules and for misusing public office for personal gain.

Our Funders Our funders include the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Opportunity Fund, FThree Foundation, the Open Society Foundations and a number of committed individual donors.

I know, it is good for a laugh. This pap from their mission page is simply typical of the Left.

But this does tie into something many of us have known for a long time: The Left is at war with us. Many of us see this reality, but the vast majority of people on both the left and particularly on the right don't understand this.

Dan Bongino talked about it yesterday on his show, and likened it to getting in a boxing match, where all the rules are read out to both participants (no biting...no kicking, no weights or razors in gloves, etc) and when the fight begins, the conservative is getting nailed by weighted razored gloves and we are still at the point where we complain to the referee (the Media) and they say "I didn't see anything."

The good news may be that many of us have long since understood that complaining to the referee is useless, bought and paid for as they are.

See my post above...it is possible conservatives are coming around. (just an opinion)

The left is at war with us, and we generally (mostly) think it is still a game being played by real rules and are still getting shocked when the rules aren’t followed.

I think that is changing.
