Pledge to Refuse Donations from Gun Lobby
The majority of Americans want Congress to take actions to stop the senseless killing of thousands of Americans each year by guns. We demand that for candidates to earn our vote, they must individually promise to refuse any campaign funds from the gun lobby.
Why is this important?
Members of Congress have only thoughts and prayers to offer after countless mass shootings in our country. We demand that they work together to find a sensible response beyond thoughts and prayers that might include new gun regulations, and funds for adequate mental health care and anger management education. Before they can do this, they must cut the ties to campaign funds from the gun lobby. Money from the gun lobby, and specifically the NRA, should be seen as an absolute non-starter if one wants to seek election to public office.
