Dear John, On Tuesday I was gratified that so many of you signed on to our petition to ban assault weapons. Your response was stupendous. Thank you! Today, you can expand your influence with a gift of $10 or more. Your financial assistance now helps us keep the pressure on Congress. We need to make sure Americans out and about on the street where they live, or at bars, festivals, theaters, shopping centers, schools, or anywhere else they choose to go, are free from the devastation caused by weapons of war. Here’s more stupendous news: On September 25, the House Judiciary Committee Assault Weapons Ban Hearing is taking place. With just 17 more cosponsors for H.R. 1296, we can pass an assault weapons ban in the House. Every day, our amazing grassroots state leaders are keeping the pressure on their folks in Congress to support an assault weapons ban. Your financial support today will help us get there. Thank you for standing with us, Karen Abrams, Interim Executive Director States United to Prevent Gun Violence Check out what your state is doing to end gun violence! |
