Today, the Trump Administration made a catastrophic step backward and announced it is repealing our country’s largest effort to stop climate change—the Clean Power Plan. This plan is the country’s first-ever federal carbon pollution limits for our nation’s electric power plants. By repealing the CPP, we are starting over. We don’t have the time. We can’t slow down. We’re in a race against disaster. Instead we need to strengthen the current Clean Power Plan and recognize that the climate science is correct—anything less would be a step back. Pruitt’s action to begin the process of repealing the Clean Power Plan is unacceptable. We need this vital, commonsense safeguard that will greatly reduce the United States’ largest source of carbon emissions. Tell the EPA to enforce the Clean Power Plan and defend our communities’ right to clean energy and a healthy future. Pruitt’s announcement cements his guiding environmental principle: Prop up the dying fossil fuel industry at any cost. This industry poisons the air and water of our most vulnerable communities while we watch the immediate impacts of climate change in real time. Our ocean is turning into a pressure cooker for hurricanes such as Harvey, Irma and Maria, which collectively have killed hundreds of people and displaced thousands. We don’t have time to sit this fight out until the political winds shift in our favor. We need to tackle our climate crisis now. Demand that the Clean Power Plan remain in place—and tell the EPA to double down on our commitment to a clean energy future.

I know that after Sandy Hook one poll said that over 90% of Americans favored strong gun control laws, but the Senate/Congress never even bothered to react to that because they all know that those laws can't pass because of the (dark) money given to so many of our representatives. This is shameful! I feel lucky that I or my family have not (yet) been impacted by all the dangerous guns floating around in the hands of many people who shouldn't have them.

I have advocated for sensible gun control for over 30 years. The latest carnage in Las Vegas convinced me that I need to be more active.

More people have lost their lives to gun violence since the 1960's than we lost U. S. soldiers in WW1 and WW2 combined. It's time to reign in the control of the NRA over the Congress and pass sensible gun laws!

Gun violence touches upon every single American. Nobody should be afraid to walk down the street or to go to a concert.

With every mass shooting: My two Senators offer "thoughts and prayers". But yet, they think it's okay, to let someone with mental-illness buy a gun. I have sent numerous letters, to them, regarding the need for stricter gun control laws. They only respond, when the issue isn't about gun safety. Their silence has been bought and paid for! They should donate all that money, to cover funeral expenses, for all the lives taken, by gun violence in the US.

It's time to talk about gun control (again).

Fred Upton has accepted $12,106 in contribution from the NRA and its associates. He needs to give that money to the victims of gun violence or another charity. The NRA cannot continue to hamstring Congress by "paying them off." We need common sense firearms regulations that will help limit gun ownership to responsible citizens and prevent their acquisition by non-citizens, felons and the mentally ill. No one wants to negate the 2nd Amendment. We just want to be safer.

Despite the continued mass shootings and domestic violence shootings, elected officials refuse to support common sense gun legislation that the majority of voters are in favor of. Cory Gardner accepted 3.8 million from the NRA whose small lobby controls Congressional leaders with big donations (bribes). There are over 309 million people living in the US but the NRA has only 5 million members, that's about 1%. Of gun owners in the US, that 5 million only represents about 6-7%. So why then is the tiny NRA controlling our elected officials? Tell Cory Gardner to do the right thing by rejecting the NRA money and stop selling his vote to the highest bidder!

The NRA keeps common sense regulations on firearms from being enacted by buying our legislators. As a Colorado resident I am sick of mass murders enabled by the gun lobby.

I am from Iowa, and I will not stand for my elected officials taking NRA contributions that prevent them from considering common sense gun laws. We have to start now. We are not asking that all guns be taken away form private citizens, but automatic and semi-automatic weapons have no place in our homes. They are weapons not used for hunting or self-defense, but are made for killing mass numbers of people. We need to hold our elected officials accountable for making gun violence in the U.S. a pervasive and devastating problem. Call and write your Senators and Representatives to ask that they return their NRA funds and pass legislation for gun regulation in the U.S. We need laws that ban assault weapons among private citizens and legislation that ensures we run background checks and have a proper registration system for owning guns. It is not against the second amendment to create a culture of responsible gun owners.

It's supposedly legal, but I can't figure out how to get it here.
