The Miami Herald reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Starting Wednesday, some Parkland families are raising money for a campaign to push the National Rifle Association<\/a> out of politics … Following the lead of their children, parents from the community … have joined together to form Families vs Assault Rifles<\/a>, a nonprofit and political action committee founded to be a counterweight to the NRA. Jeff Kasky, the father of March For Our Lives’<\/a> student activist Cameron Kasky<\/a>, says the group is quickly gaining support and has already received commitments from “financial backers” willing to match grassroots donations … Amy Harwood, a Boca Raton parent and friend of Kasky’s, said the PAC is nonpartisan and won’t be supporting candidates … Harwood helped establish the committee when she helped introduce Kasky to Matt Gohd<\/a>, a political strategist with Tipping Point Analytics. Kasky said Gohd is running point for the parents’ Super PAC, but said most of the people involved in the efforts, including a number of families from Parkland, are helping out as volunteers …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is absolutely no way this is a legitimate grassroots effort.\u00a0 None.\u00a0 This stinks.<\/p>\n

Who is this Gohd guy<\/a>?<\/p>\n

“David Hogg<\/a> and Cameron Kasky \u2014 survivors of the Parkland, Fla., school shooting \u2014 were all over New York this week, and the teenagers will stay in the national spotlight for years to come. The boys made a surprise appearance at a West 72nd Street book party on Monday night. They joined author Rick Allen to launch \u201cRFK: His Words for Our Times,\u201d<\/a> a collection of Robert F. Kennedy\u2019s speeches, at the penthouse of Matt Gohd, of Tipping Point Analytics …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He has a NYC penthouse.<\/p>\n

“… Gohd apologized to RFK\u2019s daughter, Kerry Kennedy<\/a>, because he wouldn\u2019t be able to host a party for her book, \u201cRipples of Hope<\/a>,\u201d …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And he’s tight with the degenerate Kennedy family.<\/p>\n

I knew it.\u00a0 This is just more of the same repackaged antigun astoturf.<\/p>\n
