NRACONGRESS.COM Debuts on Pinterest, Features U.S. Children's Gun-Related Injury/Death Toll

SAN JOSE, Calif. - May 9, 2016 - PRLog -- NRACONGRESS.COM (http://www.nracongress.com), the website resource "Illustrating How The NRA Owns Congress" by showing which members of Congress take NRA money, their career totals, their "pro-life" stance and other pertinent facts debuted on Pinterest, Mothers' Day, May 8, 2016 at URL: https://www.pinterest.com/griswold0265/nracongresscom/

Congressional NRA money recipients appear as "price tags" with NRA cash totals depicted as "purchase prices" on NRACONGRESS.COM. Dollar amounts as well as political stances/ratings are primarily gathered from the nonpartisan, nonprofit research organizations, OpenSecrets.org and VoteSmart.org.

Pinterest, one of the largest drivers of internet traffic, furnishes impressive opportunities to disseminate information via photos from which "pins" are fashioned. More than 360 pins have been created from NRACONGRESS's graphics, Mme DeFarge (Tumblr) blog ("illustrations of actual quotes by pro-gun activists and legislators from the front lines of the gun violence prevention movement"), ArmedWithReason.com ("a blog dedicated to academically refuting pro-gun myths, and providing a scholarly defense of gun control"), and relevant news articles/videos, i.e., regarding bans against gun violence research and Florida's "gag" law preventing physicians from discussing gun safety with patients.

Most Congressional NRA money recipients have the following wording on their Pinterest pins: "pro-lifer" tolerating 3,386 U.S. children injured or killed by guns in 2015 alone.

The 3,386 statistic of U.S. children age 0 thru age 17 years injured or killed by guns in 2015 derives from GunViolenceArchive/2015 Archive/Past Summary Ledgers.
