Did you see Mark's message, John?
Since he emailed a couple days ago, 17,546 people have signed our petition demanding the Senate finally pass background checks – but we noticed that your name is still missing.
Even though it's been nearly one year since the House passed lifesaving gun reform legislation, the Senate is still ignoring this critical bill that we know would save precious lives.
We know the price of further inaction - every single day the Senate does nothing, more children's lives are at risk. That's why we need you to sign the petition to help us get to 30,000 signatures demanding a vote on universal background checks now.
Please, we're counting on your immediate action: Click here to sign our petition right now to demand the Senate pass universal background checks to keep guns out of dangerous hands and protect children from gun violence.

John,
It's been nearly one year since the House passed a historic background checks bill – yet the Senate is still refusing to vote on it.
In that time, there have been more than 375 mass shootings – 15 already in the first three weeks of 2020. Still, the Senate has done nothing.
With all the debates, arguments and statistics, Congress needs to look at the human toll of inaction – precious lives like my sweet little Daniel's.
It can be hard to comprehend the scale of what is happening, but I know all about the real lives on the other end of those weapons. That's why I refuse to give up, and why we need to push harder than ever to get this bill passed.
This is one of the most important legislative steps we can take to keep guns out of dangerous hands and ensure no more families experience the loss of a child to gun violence. We can't afford to wait any longer, so please: Will you help us reach 30,000 petition signatures demanding the Senate finally pass this critical bill?
Please click here to sign our petition demanding the Senate pass universal background checks immediately. We cannot let the Senate ignore this bill any longer – not with children's lives at stake.

I do this work to give my sweet little Daniel a legacy, but also to protect my other two children, James and Natalie. I know that the laws of odds and averages don't make us immune. This could happen to us again. This could happen to you. That's why I'm asking for your help today – to prevent tragedies before they happen.
Thank you so much for taking action today. We couldn't get this done without you.
Mark Barden (Daniel's father)
