• Demand universal background checks on the sale of all weapons and ammunition today.
    Today, the Senate failed to pass a simple piece of legislation to help keep unreasonably lethal weapons and ammunition out of the hands of those who clearly cannot be trusted with them. Send them back. Demand that the Senate put real controls in place so that we can feel safe dropping our children off at school.

  • Gun background checks - try again, congress!
    Having failed to close the loophole allowing no background checks for people buying guns online and at gun shows, Congress needs to try a little harder. 90% of Americans want background checks for ALL gun sales. The signers of this petition believe that your job, Congress, is to MAKE THAT HAPPEN

  • Tell Senate Dems: No background checks, no donations
    Four Democrats just voted against universal background checks for gun purchases -- a policy supported by more than 90% of Americans. Three of them are up for re-election in 2014. We're the people who donate in elections, knock on doors, and get out the vote in tight elections. We will not allow our work and voices be forgotten this election season. The DNC and DSCC rely on individual donors to get Senators elected. If they know they're going to be left high and dry by donors like you, they have a major problem. We have just as much financial power as the NRA and we refuse to allow our voice to be silenced.

  • Background checks tied to ammunition purchases
    We need to find new ways to improve public safety and take reasonable measures to keep people who should not have easy access to weapons from doing so. Targeting the sale of ammunition is another point at which safety measures may be enforced.

  • Boycott the National Rifle Association
    The NRA can't wield any influence without money. While most NRA members support common sense regulations to reduce gun violence, the NRA itself persists with obstructionism, bullying and misinformation campaigns that go against its membership's desires.

  • Governor Tomblin Please Veto SB 435
    The Home Rule Pilot Program (SB 435) was designed to foster economic growth by providing cities with more freedom to make revenue and spending decisions. This piece of economic legislation was turned into an ultra-conservative campaign against progressive policies when Delegate Patrick Lane inserted a last minute ban on local gun ordinances. As is, the law would repeal all local gun safety measures and prohibit any new ones from being enacted. Governor Tomblin needs to veto this dangerous bill and call for a special session to fix it.

  • Newtown Deverves A Vote
    NRA has a TV add praising four Senators for no vote on gun reform. The slaughter of 20 children and 6 educators should wake every conscience to support gun reform. We are disgusted with the right wing conservatives for obstructing this issue. It's unconscionable law makers who are sworn to serve and protect dishonor their oath.
