John,
 
It’s been 10 days since we lost 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas. Ten days.
 
Yesterday, Democrats in the House Judiciary Committee voted to advance the Protecting Our Kids Act. The bill is a comprehensive collection of targeted gun reforms that would help keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of would-be mass shooters. Not a single Republican voted in favor of the bill.
 
The GOP should be ashamed that they’re putting the NRA before the lives of children. Tell Republicans that it’s time to muster their courage and stand up to the NRA >>
 
 
There have been 20 mass shootings in America since the tragedy in Uvalde. As President Biden said yesterday, more American children have died from guns over the past 20 years than American police officers and American soldiers put together.
 
John, that is an abomination.
 
In order for the Senate to pass the Protecting Our Kids Act, there will need to be 10 Republicans on board with common-sense reform of our gun laws. I’m heartened by the bipartisan discussions happening among small groups of senators. But Republicans need to know what’s at stake. They need to hear from all of us that inaction is unacceptable.
 
 
Thank you for lending your voice, John.
