That is called blackmail and it's illegal. He is threatening to withdraw donations unless republicans pass the legislation he want? That's laughable, @fbi should investigate this donor for extortion.

Actually it’s not blackmail. It’s a conscientious decision to withdraw financial aide.....kinda like a sanction....

He said he would withdraw donations, per the article, if they did not vote for a ban on assault weapons, that is specific extortion. HRC did pay to play, that is what he is doing and it is extortion. I'm writing my senators, who probably get tired of hearing from me but that's OK

He's the one "donating" money, how on Earth is this Blackmail?

No different than the demands the NRA places on its congressmen.

NRA support the Second Amendment, which is the only thing that saves the US from fascism.

They protect corporate gun manufacturers’ profits. They used to be an organization that represented hunters and sportsmen. Look at their funding. Their biggest contributors are corporate gun manufacturers, not dues paying NRA members.

It is a Pro-Life issue! Why the Pro-Life movement is mute?

Because they are only pro life until the child is born.

Always has astounded me that they can be pro-life and anti-children/anti-women’s rights all in the same breath. The Texas legislature leads the world in this incredible hypocrisy.

You could easily argue being pro-choice and anti death penalty is as big of a hypocrisy

I suppose you could argue any irrelevant comparison.

until Citizen's United decision gets overturned and real campaign finance reform happens, we have to play the game as it is, sadly.

Every wealthy donor w/an ounce of heart and a modicum of courage should follow in the footsteps of Al Hoffman Jr.

Maybe even Republicans are coming to their senses. Money talks so there is hope.

Unfortunately the more resources that go to the top 1%, the less each individual vote counts because they have most of the money to buy elections.

Hopefully there are more like him. Only way to truly threaten them is with $

Yay pay for play, you must be a Hillary Clinton supporter.

So do you donate to all politicians, or only the ones who support what you support?
