My name is Bradley Whitford. You might know me from my work on “The West Wing.” What I loved most about our show is that the folks in Washington faced difficult choices and hard problems, but at the end of the day, they always made the right choice for the Americans they swore to serve.
|
I wish that's how things worked in the real world, friend. Unfortunately, in the real world, it’s the gun lobby that runs things in Washington — not the American people.
|
In the real world, leaders in Washington sit on their hands while hundreds of mass shootings occur every single year, allowing dozens of schoolchildren, grocery shoppers, and churchgoers to be slaughtered.
|
In the real world, the politicians we elected to represent us happily accept checks from the gun lobby in exchange for their vote against life-saving gun safety legislation. And now, with an incoming administration poised to make things even worse for gun violence prevention, it’s more critical than ever for Brady to fight.
|
Luckily, there are good guys in the real world, too – Brady is one of them. The team at Brady is fighting every single day to protect all Americans, no matter where we are: Whether at school, in a house of worship, at the movies, or a grocery store, we all deserve to live free from gun violence.
|
Everyone has a chance to be one of the good guys, friend. We all have a part to play in the fight against gun violence, and today, you have an opportunity to make a bigger impact than ever.
|
Today only, Brady is TRIPLE matching ALL donations to reach their critical $300,000 year-end goal — so I'm personally asking you to give $5 to support Brady and their urgent mission. Please, will you chip in now to win a future free from gun violence?
|
Friend, your leadership at this critical moment can help create a safer future for all of us. Can I count on you to make a difference in Brady’s fight to free America from gun violence today?
|
|
The road ahead of us isn't easy. But together, I know that we can win a safer future and defeat the gun lobby once and for all.
|
Thanks for being one of the good guys, friend.
