Most of these "Big Ideas" for repealing legislation come from back benchers.

Then you get another e-mail; "Just send in $3/$5/$10 to help Representative Habaplap defeat the NRA and its evil minions and keep our children safe".

Never any follow up on how the bill proposal is actually doing, how many co-sponsors they get, or what happens when it dies in Committee 3 weeks later.
