John,

At least 21 people, including 19 children were killed in yet another mass
shooting yesterday. Our condolences go out to the families and every
person impacted by this senseless act of gun violence.

Of course, after offering the usual, meaningless "thoughts and prayers,"
Texas Governor Greg Abbott is already gearing up to do what Republicans
usually do about gun violence: helping the NRA make such violence easier.
In fact, Greg Abbott and Ted Cruz will be speaking at the annual NRA
convention in Houston this Friday.

That's why earlier today Beto O’Rourke confronted Texas Governor Greg
Abbott in the middle of a news conference on the Texas school shooting,
saying “The time to stop the next shooting is right now and you are doing
nothing.”

all of DFA's Texas candidates as they take on the NRA and their Republican
allies.

It's been almost ten years since Sandy Hook and now more children have
become victims of a completely preventable act of violence.

Republican elected officials offer their thoughts and prayers. They lower
flags to half-staff. But they will never act to stop gun violence and mass
shootings. So we must remove them from office -- and replace them with
candidates who aren't afraid to change gun laws.

DFA members are mobilizing to beat Republicans and elect candidates like
Beto O'Rourke who will confront gun violence head-on with legislation that
will make a difference.

politicians -- and replace them with leaders like Beto O'Rourke who will
stand up to the NRA and fight gun violence?

Thank you for standing up to the NRA and their Republican accomplices.
