It is now time to send a clear message on where and how money is spent in politics. All money should be immediately returned to the NRA as a statement of solidarity.

Rep. Chris Stewart and Sens. Mike Lee and Orrin Hatch should stand up and make a positive message by returning 100 percent of the “donations” they have received from the NRA. All legislators should follow!

It is time to make the only statement we can: Money speaks the loudest.
