NASCAR: Ban All Political Advertising of NASCAR Races and Teams
The National Rifle Association, the largest of the organizations that are part of the gun lobby in this country, is sponsoring the NRA 500, a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race from Texas Motor Speedway.
Let's face it...if Planned Parenthood sponsored a NASCAR race, we'd never hear the end of it from all of the right-wing talking heads in the media.
More importantly, however, money already has too much influence in this country's politics, and we are opposed to political organizations, regardless of party affiliation or ideology, sponsoring sporting events, teams, and athletes. Additionally, no political organization can properly speak on behalf of all NASCAR fans, because, while many NASCAR fans are politically conservative, many others are not. That's why we are asking NASCAR to ban all political advertising of NASCAR races and teams.
