Money Wins Election

Their first example is gun control, where much of the campaign money comes from the NRA.

However, the NRA gets most of its money for campaign contributions from small donors, with the average donation being $35 [1]. It seems that this example undermines their point more than supports it.

Their proposed solution, which is to give each voter $100 each election cycle to give to politicians that voter supports, would almost certainly make no difference in regard to gun control. That anti-gun control politicians would continue to receive more by a large amount than the pro-gun control politicians.
