CONCORD, MA: NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS OF THOREAU ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SUPPORT EFFORTS TO ADDRESS GUN VI...
The families and friends of the Thoreau Elementary School neighborhood of Concord, MA are deeply saddened by the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy. We offer our thoughts and support for the families and the first responders.
In response, we are working to protect our nation's children and adults affected by gun violence and mental illness. We support a ban on assault weapons, background checks for all new gun permits, and a ban on high-capacity gun magazines. We support the strengthening of existing Massachusetts gun laws.
We also support an increase in funding for mental health services to identify and treat affected youth and adults.
We appeal to our local, state, and federal legislatures to make these issues a top priority in the coming year and to act upon them.
This petition will be sent to: Governor Deval Patrick and The Massachusetts State House; Michael Barrett and The Massachusetts State Senate;; Niki Tsongas and the U.S. House of Representatives; John Kerry and Elizabeth Warren and the U.S. Senate; and President Barack Obama.
This petition reflects the views of the neighbors and friends of the Thoreau Elementary School but not the faculty, staff, or administrators of the school.

Why is this important?
Dear Families and Friends in the Thoreau School Elementary School Neighborhood,
We have organized a petition through Moveon.org to support the following issues in order to protect our children and adults affected by gun violence. Please sign and distribute the URL to your neighbors and any other friends. This petition can go out to anyone to sign who considers themselves a friend of our elementary school.
If you have friends in other elementary school districts please urge them to organize a similar petition around their local elementary school.
Please forward the URL of the petition or printed list of petitioners and we will collate them and send a printed copy of all the names of this neighborhood elementary school petition to the legislators, the Concord Journal and other media outlets, Patricia Llodra, the selectwoman of Newtown, CT and other appropriate contacts.
If we reach 10,000 signatures we will also print and place it at the memorial at the Sandy Hook elementary school.
