Public Campaign, a national non-partisan, nonprofit organization working on comprehensive campaign finance reform took out a full-page ad in Roll Call and the New York Times headlined, "Want guns out of our schools? [We need to] get gun money out of our politics", identifying some of the lawmakers who benefited most from gun money on Capitol Hill. The ad continued: All of these members have taken stands opposing gun safety laws. The add prominently features pictures of the top ten beneficiaries of gun lobby expenditures and the amount the gun lobby spent on their behalf. The ad can be found on Public Campaign's Web site at www.publicampaign.org/guns.html.
