"The families of Aurora deserve a vote. The families of Oak Creek, and Tucson, and Blacksburg, and the countless other communities ripped open by gun violence - they deserve a simple vote." - President Barack Obama
Dear Lucas -
Did you watch the State of the Union Address [Tuesday]?
There's no doubt that Democrats and Republicans remain divided on many important issues, but reducing gun violence unified the chamber in a way that inspired us both.
After spending [Tuesday] evening in the gallery, we [went] back to the Capitol today to talk face-to-face with congressional leadership about the importance of acting right now.
But we need to make sure Congress hears from all of us.
Will you amplify our voices and tell your Senator that you are one of the over 90 percent of Americans that support universal background checks? Call 1-888-284-5479, or you can use the Americans for Responsible Solutions click-to-call tool and we'll make the connection for you:

Any legislation to reduce gun violence will probably begin in the Senate, so making the call is critical.
Let's get it done.
Mark and Gabby
