John,

Our country is suffering from a gun violence crisis, and Republican leaders don’t seem to care. Following mass shootings in Texas and Ohio, they offered the same “thoughts and prayers” over Twitter, but refused to reconvene the Senate to consider the sensible, life-saving gun legislation Congress sent them. 

If Republicans aren’t going to act at the national level, it’s time we took the fight local - and put this critical issue directly in front of our state’s voters.

Ban Assault Weapons Now has taken to the streets to collect signatures in an effort to put an assault weapons referendum on the ballot in 2020. They gathered enough to have their measure reviewed by the state’s Supreme Court, but in a move straight out of Mitch McConnell’s playbook, our Republican Attorney General Ashley Moody is doing all she can to block their proposed amendment from appearing on the ballot next year. 

Let’s send a clear message: we won’t stand for the same old obstructionism when lives are lost daily to gun violence - not from Mitch McConnell and not from Ashely Moody. 

Ashley Moody and her Republican allies are content to keep weapons of war on our streets and silence the voices of Florida voters. We need to fight back. 

Sign our petition demanding AG Moody stop her efforts to block the Assault Weapons Ban from the 2020 ballot: DonnaShalala.com/ban.

Thanks,

Donna
