Friends -

One year ago today the House passed a universal background checks bill.

This legislation would ensure there are background checks on ALL gun purchases.

Yet Mitch McConnell has refused to let the Senate vote on this lifesaving legislation. He is more concerned with keeping the NRA happy than about the lives that would be saved by passing universal background checks.

Well, enough is enough.

Add your name to my petition demanding Mitch McConnell hold a vote on universal background checks in the Senate. Lives are at stake.

97 percent of Americans support background checks on all gun purchases. This is commonsense legislation. It's something we could pass right now to immediately prevent gun violence in our country.

It's despicable that Mitch McConnell won't allow life-saving, bipartisan legislation to be voted on in our Senate.

I refuse to stand by idly as our children fear going to school because of gun violence, when victims of domestic violence fear for their lives, and when our communities fear being gunned down at festivals and bars.

The House passed universal background checks, and now it's up to the Senate to do our job.

Add your voice to mine on this issue, and let's make the NRA stand for not relevant anymore in American politics!

Stand with me and demand a vote on universal background checks in the Senate. Help me make clear that the American people are demanding action.

Thank you in advance for adding your name. Together we will save lives and end the scourge of gun violence in America.

All my best,

Ed
