Time for the American people to show who cares! Unless we the people tell congress that we care, they will not act on making America a safer place for the next generation.

We ask that Rep. Tom Graves take influence from the epidemic of gun violence and break with the gun lobby to begin with a clean slate in the difficult work of bringing this bloody business under control and making the streets, homes and citizens of our country safer for innocent Americans.

See above.

I am no longer willing to sit and wait for the next mass killing to come to my community. The large majority of Americans support common-sense gun control, but we are being held hostage by a tiny minority of highly vocal members of the NRA, a group representing no more than 7 percent of the adult population - many of whom actually also support gun control. We can only counter the power of the NRA through our voices and our votes. I propose a state-by-state drive to gather signatures of registered voters who pledge to vote against any politician of any party who will not vocally support the kind of measures that will begin to eliminate the easy availability of guns which fuels the current crisis of killing in our country. I propose to keep the focus local - it is harder for elected officials to dismiss the numbers if they are presented with a pledge from voters only from their own state who make it plain whom they will and will not support. The state-by-state results will then also speak for themselves from a national perspective more clearly and with greater impact. If this petition shows strong support among MoveOn members, I would like to work with others to move the larger project forward on a state-by-state basis.

I am a teacher and practice "lockdown" drills now on what to do in the event of a school shooting. I should not have to make my students imagine a deranged gunman hunting them through the hallways of their place of learning and community. Every time a tragedy such as Parkland occurs, we wring our hands, debate online, then forget about it, fail to take action, and it happens all over again while too many politicians are lining their pockets with tainted money from an evil organization that cares more about profits from gun and ammunition sales than it does about the lives of innocent men, women, and children. After the Sandy Hook massacre of first graders and their teachers, more than 400 people have been shot in more than 200 school shootings. This doesn't even count churches, concerts, and other public spaces where people who have had too easy access to weapons specifically designed to kill people en masse have used them. Politicians who take NRA money are complicit in gun violence. It's time that all politicians reject the NRA.

This is the 18th school shooting of the year. This is only the 7th week of 2018. How many more children and staff have to die before this is taken seriously. This can happen to any of us and our families. Action must be taken now!

I write this through waves of tears. Florida is my home, Floridians are my people. This morning, my heart is again burning with pain and anger over a mass shooting that has devastated families and an entire community in my state. This time, it was at a high school. A HIGH SCHOOL. As a mother, the assault on the sanctity of school safety shakes me to my core. An armed 19-year-old former student went to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School yesterday afternoon and shot to death 17 people, wounding 14 more, five of them critically.[1] His weapon? An AR-15. Every fiber of my being is screaming that no civilian should have access to military-style assault rifles and high-capacity ammunition! The AR-15, a military-style assault rifle, was used in the Newtown, Orlando, and Las Vegas shootings, to name just a few. It is the weapon of choice for mass murderers and has no business being for sale in America. Right now, there is legislation ready to be passed in Congress that would get military-style weapons and high-capacity ammunition off our streets. No matter what the Parkland shooter’s affiliations, hatreds, mental health, or background, his access to a weapon that was designed to kill large numbers of people quickly was why 31 people were slaughtered or maimed yesterday. Change must occur -- it MUST occur -- before another community suffers the grief of gun violence. Congress has the power to take action to reduce gun violence and they still haven’t. Congress's cowardly inaction is intolerable. Enough is enough.

To hold Facebook accountable for letting Russians influence the 2016 election by making them pay to secure our election systems around the country.

My husband has been an educator for 25+ years and the safety of his students, colleagues, etc. should be a TOP priority.

I’m starting this petition because I am sick of seeing children being slaughtered in their schools and I’m nauseated by the inaction of my elected representatives. Please join me.

Let's ask Brad to give the NRA contribution back to the NRA. We have to stop murdering our children and STOP PROTECTING THE NRA.

It's obvious why I'm starting this petition... assault weapons have no place in regular society. I'm tired of fearing for my children's lives when they go off to elementary and middle school each day!! How sickening is it that this is a REAL WORRY that we have to face in the United States ?!?!?! What has happened to this country? Where is the common sense?
