With the departure of martial arts master and spiritual chariot driver, Jesse Jackson Jr., there is a crowded field of Democrats angling to replace him - since the seat in Illinois will likely stay Democrat. According to The Hill, the Obama machine is working to make sure that the Democrat who wins the primary is not one of the pro-gun Dems. Since we have several members here who support both Democrats and the Second Amendment, I thought they would want to be aware of a candidate they can support to steer their party the right way on the Second Amendment:

I'd also note that even if you don't care for the policies of the Democrat party, it is highly likely this seat goes to the winner of this primary. So even those opposed to the Democrats may want to help a pro-2A candidate win the primary. Michael Bloomberg just spent $1.3 million to make sure a Dem candidate who opposes AWB and mag bans does not win the primary. If you want to send a message to Bloomberg, you can donate to Halvorson at:
