Dear Lucas -
This week, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 10-8 to approve universal background checks for all gun purchases.
The next step is a vote before the full U.S. Senate, which could happen as early as next month.
But, amazingly, while background checks are supported by more than 90% of Americans, there's still work left to do to convince a majority of Senators.
I won't stop until we do.
Can I count on your $5 contribution to help us pass universal background checks?

Last week, thousands of supporters called Judiciary Committee members while we ran television and online ads in their home states.
I took a lot of important votes in Congress and know how critical your voice is. If we keep working together, we're sure to pass meaningful legislation to reduce gun violence.
Thank you,
Gabby Giffords
