Our thoughts and prayers are not enough.
So many of us repeated that refrain after the tragic murder of 49 at an LGBT club in Orlando last weekend -- there have been far too many shootings in the last few years, and too little done to prevent them.For too long, Republican members of Congress, under marching orders from the NRA, have blocked any form of gun violence prevention legislation -- including reforms that are patently obvious, like prohibiting suspected terrorists from buying guns and expanding background checks to more gun sales. We need both to keep guns out of the hands of terrorists. Last Tuesday, Senator Chris Murphy -- who was serving as the congressman from Newtown, Connecticut when a shooter killed 26 people at an elementary school -- stood on the Senate floor and announced that he was beginning a filibuster that would not end until Republicans called for a vote on these reforms. He was joined by dozens of senators, from both sides of the aisle -- and it worked. The Senate is voting on important gun violence prevention measures today. Speaking up matters. Stand with Senator Murphy and the Senate Democrats by adding your name today:

 In the wake of the tragic attacks in Orlando last week, much of the national attention is focused on gun control and steps we can take to keep guns out of the wrong hands. President Obama and Vice President Biden have reiterated their call to Congress to pass the kind of commonsense gun safety reforms supported by a majority of Americans, including requiring background checks for all gun sales, passing legislation to keep guns out of the hands of suspected terrorists close the no-fly, no-buy loophole, and reinstituting the passing of a new, stronger ban on assault weapons. We wanted to invite you to listen in on a call today with White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett, where she will answer questions you have submitted in the last few days. Here are the details: When: Monday, June 20 at 1:00 PM ET Where: go.wh.gov/WTP-Call Before this call, we also wanted to share this special message from the Vice President:  We look forward to having you be part of this critical conversation. - We the People Team |
