Just after midnight on June 20, 2012, our daughter Jessi sent us a text message.
“I can't wait for you to come next week. I need my mama,”
she wrote.
A few short minutes later, she was dead -- murdered along with 11 others
in an Aurora, Colorado movie theater.
It’s a national disgrace that Congress has refused to take action
to save lives.
Every day Congress refuses to act, 90 more families feel the pain and
anguish we do. That's why we need you to sign your name next to ours
to demand change.
Join us now and call on Congressional Republicans to stop their blockade
against meaningful gun reform.
Americans want change. They are tired of losing 33,000 lives every year to guns.
President Obama understands that. We were proud to watch as he announced
new actions to ensure that web-based gun dealers carry out background checks.
But this problem is larger than one action. We will only curb gun violence
when we work together in a committed effort to end America’s gun
violence epidemic.
Every moment is a chance to save lives. Will you stand with us and families
across the country and demand Congressional Republicans work with President
Obama to curb gun violence?
Thanks,
Sandy and Lonnie Phillips
