HOW TO PASS GUN CONTROL PLAN ANNOUNCED TODAY BY PRESIDENT OBAMA (976 hits)
hey Family of Advocates!
Happy New Year!
With that having been said, it's time to grind our wheels for REAL about the senseless killings due to the reckless use of guns! Please support the Gun Control Plan that Vice President Joe Biden worked hard on and President Obama announced a short while ago. WE have 24 hours to push, push, push!
"President Obama just left the podium.
In a speech to the nation, he announced his plan to take comprehensive action against gun violence. After years on the political backburner, we now have the momentum to make real progress on this issue. We can’t let this moment slip away.
In the next 24 hours, 50,000 people need to sign this petition to send a message to Republicans who are trying to block progress:
President Obama is championing Vice President Joe Biden’s recommendations on gun reform: an assault weapons ban, universal background checks and limits on the number of bullets in gun magazines.
These are common sense measures to prevent gun related tragedies from tearing apart any more of our families. Sadly, before President Obama even made his announcement, many House Republicans said they were opposed to taking any action. We need to send the message loud and clear that the time for action is now.
Throw your support behind President Obama and the safety of our families by signing the petition now.
These measures won’t fix everything, but they are a start. And it’s time we started somewhere.
Thanks for your support.
