We want to air this TV ad starring a Kentucky gun owner in Houston tomorrow -- the night of the presidential debate --to pressure Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell to act on an assault weapon ban. Tons of reporters will be on the scene. Can you help?
McConnell is under major pressure. Today, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made headlines saying "People are dying because Sen. McConnell hasn’t acted."
We can turn up the heat on McConnell. Especially if guns come up in the debate, reporters need to remember who is blocking progress. We aired an ad at the last debate. Hundreds of national reporters saw it and one exclaimed, "That was a hell of an ad!"
The cost to air this TV ad on network TV in Houston (ABC) the night of the debate is $3,000. Can you chip in $30 (or $3) toward airing the ad tomorrow night? (Click here to watch the ad and donate.)
We first made this TV ad in 2013 after the Sandy Hook school shooting as part of a series of ads featuring gun owners who support reform. Sadly, these TV ads are still applicable today -- with the only update being McConnell's now taken $671,347 from the gun lobby, up from $198,615 when we first aired these TV ads.
The TV ads changed the national dialogue and were covered nationally by CNN, The Washington Post, ABC, CBS, Roll Call, Yahoo News, TPM, Huffington Post, and others. In Kentucky, the Louisville Courier Journal, local NBC, local FOX, The Leo Weekly, the Associated Press, and others covered them.
They are just as powerful today -- maybe even more so because they show how long McConnell has been blocking gun reform for the gun industry.
