Mrs. Obama Says Electing Alison Lundergan Grimes to the U.S. Senate is "Critical" to President Obama's Anti-Second Amendment Agenda
Recently, Kentucky U.S. Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes attended a New York City fundraiser with Michelle Obama and picked up her endorsement. In her remarks Mrs. Obama said that electing Grimes is "critical" to enacting President Obama's anti-Second Amendment agenda.
There are tens of thousands of NRA members and Second Amendment supporters in Kentucky who deserve to know that Mrs. Obama believes that electing Grimes to the U.S. Senate is critical to enacting President Barack Obama's gun grabbing agenda.
Excerpts from Michelle Obama’s remarks:

Obama went on to say that said that people could make a "huge difference" in the Kentucky election by writing a "huge check."
"And it's simple, you can write a big ol' fat check," she said, to laughs. "That's what we need you to do. Right now, write a big check, big huge one, write the biggest check you can possibly write."
