The 113th Congress and The Golden Rule

The Manchin-Toomey Amendment called for background checks and required 60 votes to pass.  (Photo/Mercury News)

NRA is quite relieved; their Senators stayed bought.
Voted not to implement reforms the country sought.
Politics as usual; the famous Golden Rule...
If you've got enough of it, the Congress is your tool.

Lobbyists with money tell the Congress how to vote -
Wishes of the population given little note.
This, in my opinion, is a national disgrace.
