TAKE ACTION NOW: Senate Vote on Gun Reform Bills are this week!

[Jim McBride]

Dear Hope Mongers,

If you have been following the news lately you will have noticed that the concept of basic public safety measures like universal background checks of gun purchases that 90% of the American people support are under attack by the NRA and they are winning again:

“What we’re facing is the passion gap” - Rep. Jan Schakowsky

So, we need your passion right now. If you agree with law enforcement and Sandy Hook parents, in the interest of Public Safety, that criminals, terrorists and the mentally ill should be prevented from LEGALLY buying unlimited weaponry then have your voice heard today. The Second Amendment allows for a "well-regulated" militia not an "un-regulated" militia and thousands die every year because the fringe refuses to support common sense and is willing to fight against it.
