John, it’s hard to believe it’s only been a year since the tragic mass shooting perpetrated at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
A teengage gunman massacred 19 fourth graders and two teachers. One month later, when Ted Cruz had the opportunity to vote for the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, he voted NO.
Think about that for a moment. The third-deadliest school shooting occurs in his state, in a string of deadly mass shootings that occurred both before and since, and when the most consequential federal gun safety legislation in thirty years has the opportunity of passing and saving lives, Texas’ U.S. Senator Ted Cruz voted NO.
Because he represents the National Rifle Association — not the people of Texas. One week after the Uvalde shooting, ABC News reported:
“Cruz, in particular, has taken in the most money from pro-gun individuals and groups of anyone in the current Congress, amassing $442,000 over the course of his career.”
This is what we’re up against in 2024. So let’s honor the lives lost one year ago today in Uvalde by taking action to ensure Texas elects a senator who will take action to save lives — not rake in more campaign contributions from the gun industry.
We’re humbly asking, John: Add your name to our petition if you agree Texas’ U.S. Senator MUST take a stand for gun safety — and refuse to carry water for a gun industry with blood on its hands.
Thanks for joining us in taking action. Together, we can put a stop to school shootings in Texas and across the country.
— Cruz, You Lose
