Republicans in Congress are tripping over themselves to get a pat on the back from Donald Trump. I’ll let you read the pathetic texts for yourself from wanna-be Speaker Rep. Fleischmann:

But while the Republicans spent yesterday praising Trump and trying to pick a Speaker, Democratic lieutenant governors from across the country were meeting a few blocks away, hosting a historic Gun Violence Prevention Policy Summit.

Our Democratic lieutenant governors aren’t waiting for Congress to get its act together. We’re taking action on gun violence TODAY. If you’re with us, can you chip in $5 before our End-of-Month Deadline to help us elect more Gun Sense LEADERS? >>

Do you want to hear the most beautiful thing about our summit yesterday? I didn’t hear the phrase “we can’t do that” a single time. I didn’t have to listen to a member of Congress hem and haw about what life-saving gun reforms could pass. Instead, we discussed state-level solutions that can be implemented with or without Congress.

I’m so proud of our Democratic lieutenant governors who are rising above the mess so we can literally save lives. If you agree we need more leaders saying to hell with Congress and passing progressive policies themselves, I’m asking you to chip in $5 or more today before our End-of-Month Deadline to help us elect more Gun Sense leaders and protect those who are putting in the work >>

Thank you,

Kevin Holst
Executive Director
