John,
We all deserve the right to feel safe in our homes, our workplace, our school, places of worship, and everywhere we visit.
But as we were once again brutally reminded in the mass shootings in over the span of just a few days, our right to be safe in our communities and the freedom to live without fear of gun violence is sorely lacking. While places like Buffalo and Uvalde can seem far away from us here in Wisconsin, the gun lobby is working to influence Wisconsin politicians and derail common sense gun safety laws.
Republican Sen. Ron Johnson has received more than $1.2 million in campaign donations from the National Rifle Association (NRA) and is still in Washington D.C. opposing common sense measures to keep deadly firearms out of dangerous people’s possession. He even went so far as to say blame “wokeness” and critical race theory for school shootings.
Enough is enough: tell Ron Johnson to stop taking cash from gun lobbyists and start taking action on gun safety measures.
Those who have been granted the privilege of governing in our names, whether it be in federal, state or local office, need to put human lives over greed, listen to our voices, and they need to act.
With Gov. Tony Evers advocating for common sense gun safety measures and recent polls showing overwhelming support for mandatory background checks for all firearm purchases, it’s clear what is holding Wisconsin back from taking action to help us live free of the fear of gun violence – it’s conservative politicians siding with the gun lobby.
Whether it’s parents, students, and teachers showing up to protests, or public organizations opposing specific legislation, the people of Wisconsin have spoken: we want sensible gun safety measures that will save lives.
SIGN THE PETITION: Demand Ron Johnson take action and common sense gun safety measures.
Those who have been granted the privilege of governing in our names, whether it be in federal, state or local office, need to listen and they need to act. Some have taken millions of dollars in campaign donations from the National Rifle Association, but enough is enough.
Our gun laws need to change, and we demand action on common sense measures that protect the basic freedom we all deserve to live our lives.
There are no adequate explanations from the politicians who have sided with the gun lobby for far too long, there is only accountability to we, the people, moving forward if they continue failing to act to protect our children and our communities.
Tell Ron Johnson to stop taking cash from gun lobbyists and start taking action on gun safety measures.
Thanks for all you do. A Better Wisconsin Together
