Legislators are targeted by the NRA for even the slightest movement on doing anything to stem the killing in America. We call on all legislators, candidates, parties, and Political Action Committees to refuse any contribution by the NRA and the gun lobby. If all would do so there could be movement on ending the slaughter.

The President, the U.S. congress, our governor, and our state legislature are unresponsive to enacting common sense gun control measures. This petition is asking to put this measure on the ballot as an amendment to the state constitution

The unabated flow of NRA blood-money into our politicians' hands has led them to hold the interests of the NRA above the public interest. Their inaction at NRA's behest has led directly to countless gun deaths in our country with increasing frequency and deadliness. Viewing the NRA as a benevolent actor in our political system is no longer an option. Political inaction is no longer an option. This willful inaction is a gross violation of the Oath of Office which each politician has taken. With credible reports now linking NRA to Russian money-laundering, we can no longer be certain of the allegiances of this organization nor afford to allow our politicians' allegiances to be bought by these unknown sources of influence.

Our country has suffered for too many years with the threat of daily mass shootings, and our citizens deserve a government that will do something to curb the scourge of gun violence. Our children deserve to go to school without the threat of being killed.

I attended a high school that has been affected by gun violence. No one should die while trying to receive an education.

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker appointed local NRA leader Ronald Amidon as Commissioner of the Department of Fish & Game in July 2017. Amidon was president of the Gun Owners' Action League (GOAL), the NRA's state affiliate in Massachusetts. Fish & Game is now directing visitors on the state website to GOAL for more information on gun ownership. GOAL advocates for the repeal of our state's gun safety laws. The NRA's positions on gun safety DO NOT reflect the values of Massachusetts residents. DUMP THE NRA!

It was heart-wrenching to watch that video during this last mass shooting. Some politicians have already put into the dialog, "Now is not the time"; the same language we have heard after every mass shooting. "Enough is Enough", the time is now.

Thoughts and Prayers are not enough.

The contract requests a 2% guaranteed annual raise and an additional 1% raise contingent on his annual review rating of highly effective. The Board repeatedly has found him highly effective, but it is unclear how his effectiveness is determined in any measurable fact other than the Board's opinion. Our District needs to consider the limited resources to provide for such raises to administrative positions and the best interest of our children from ineffective leadership. The Board continues to find him highly effective, but my experience has been less than favorable.

We must put an end to the NRA’s grip on Congress.

Our country has suffered for too many years with the threat of mass shootings daily, and our citizens deserve a government that will do something to curb the scourge of gun violence.

Parents and the communities around the country for common sense gun legislation. Enough is enough!
