The Democratic Party
-----------------------
To understand the gun lobby's impact on our political process, look no further
than the NRA's spending during the 2016 election. In that cycle alone, the NRA
spent $55 million on races across the country.
Here's how it works: Each election, the NRA spends tens of millions of dollars to
elect candidates who will block progress on gun safety measures. As a result,
Congress is filled with Republicans who got there in large part thanks to funding
from the NRA.
Replacing them all won't be easy, Samuel, but we owe it to ourselves to try.
So today I am counting on you to help take on the gun lobby. That means giving
Democrats the resources to defeat NRA-funded candidates this year, which is why
I am asking:
Contribute $3 now -- before tonight's important FEC deadline -- if you are sick
and tired of the gun lobby's influence on our elections:

During my Senate run in 2016, gun policy became such a focus in my race that
our campaign dedicated an entire ad to my stance on guns. (It was a pretty good
ad, if I do say so myself.)
I'm an Army veteran and fought in Afghanistan, so I am no stranger to handling a
firearm. I also support comprehensive background checks so that guns don't fall
into the hands of the wrong people.
Expanding background checks is just one of the many legislative solutions to help
reduce our country's absurd levels of gun violence. But as long as Congress is filled
with Republicans who serve as pawns for the gun lobby, we'll never pass new laws
to keep all Americans safe.
This is the year we can change that, and I am counting on you to be a part of it.
Make a $3 contribution right now and together we'll defeat the gun lobby in November.
Each contribution made before tonight's deadline will help Democrats take on
NRA-funded candidates and win:

For far too long, the gun lobby has had an unreasonable influence on all levels of
government. Thank you for stepping up today to help change that.
All my best,
