Friends -

Today marks seven years since tragedy struck Sandy Hook Elementary School. For the families of Newtown, we know the pain will never go away.

In the aftermath of this horror, politician after politician vowed to honor those who were killed. They said they would make our communities safer from gun violence. That no other families should have to experience what the families of Newtown did.

Yet today, seven years later, Congress has done something remarkable: nothing.

Congress remains in the gun lobby's grip. They have refused to act to make communities safer. Yet for all this dysfunction and obstruction, Americans are still calling for common sense solutions. The fight to reduce gun violence goes on. And we will never forget Sandy Hook.

I will not rest until we have righted this wrong and changed our laws to make our communities safer, or changed our Congress for a different one that puts our interests ahead of the gun lobby's.

So before the end of the year, please make a $3 contribution to ensure we have the resources to fight back against the gun lobby that has consistently used big money and influence to obstruct our progress.

Our democracy's history is peppered with names we neither remember nor celebrate -- people who stood in the way of progress while protecting the powerful.

To do nothing while others suffer is not the American way.

Thank you for standing with me.
