John,

It's almost too painful to write another harangue on the sick, right-wing Republican obsession with guns and campaign checks from the gun industry. Honestly, and pardon my language, I don't give a s*t about their weird firearms fetish.

I care that three adults and THREE CHILDREN were just murdered at the Covenant School in Nashville because of it. The image below is...haunting.

Tennessee school shooting

This tragedy comes on the heels of a Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) article showing Americans die two years younger than residents of similar democracies because of the prevalence of guns in our society.

 

 

1% of elected DC Democrats have opposed gun laws. With Republicans that number is 97%. Yep, 97% of GOPers vote to allow our kids to die regularly for their creepy worship of firearms and greedy worship of their NRA checks. Sorry, but the safety of my kids is more important than Ted Cruz' political fundraising. Same with yours. But fighting back is expensive.

Will you split a donation of $5, $10, $25, or whatever you can, to Everytown for Gun Violence and Blue Amp Action, so we can keep fighting to change our gun laws and end this sick insanity.

Thank you for your empathy and common sense,

Cliff

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
