We've been on the phones all week with top Democratic leaders trying to
put into words the sense of dread that people feel right now.

Because the national outcry is about gun deaths now -- but it is really
the breaking point after we've been through so much together.

The entire system is broken. The will of the people is bucked on every
issue from pocketbook issues to voting rights to abortion rights. Moms,
dads, and even a famous basketball coach are on TV crying for help, asking
why the system is failing us.

Imagine a best case scenario. It's hard to imagine problems getting fixed
with the current Electoral College, Senate, filibuster, gerrymandering,
and Supreme Court all rigged against the public will.

More depressing, some "leaders" like Senator Dick Durbin are reacting by
saying, "We're realists...it takes 60 votes" to get anything done. That
shows a complete acceptance of a broken system.

It's hard to know what to do right now, but we're asking your help to get
a message out to Democratic leaders: We don't want performative "show
votes" that validate a broken system. We're asking Democratic leaders to
acknowledge the breakdown of our system. We're asking them to make clear
to the American people that they know the solution to guns and every other
issue is to ELIMINATE THE FILIBUSTER so the will of the public can win.
