When my friend and staffer, Gabe Zimmerman, saw me shot in the head and laying on the ground, he ran towards me. Towards the gunfire. And then the gunman shot him, and then Gabe died. That is courage. And it's a quality that was sorely lacking on the floor of the Senate last week when forty-five senators stood with the gun lobby to vote against expanding background checks -- to vote against saving lives. If you're still angry about the Senate's filibuster of expanded background checks, you are not alone. But it's up to us to do something about it, because if we don't act, no one will. That's why I'm asking you to join me in supporting candidates who back commonsense legislation to reduce gun violence and protect gun rights, and withholding your support from those who don't. Will you add your voice to mine and make the pledge to become a gun violence voter in 2014?

If those in power would just get along and try to figure this out the government could do what us normal people have had to do in these past years. Cut a little here and there until we all do our best to live within our means. Why should the government spend like there is no tomorrow? We can't!
