Richard Martinez: Pledge your Vote for Yes on 594
My name is Richard Martinez. My son, Christopher Ross Michaels-Martinez, was killed during the Isla Vista shooting in May.
Working to prevent others from experiencing this kind of tragedy has become my life's mission. And since that day, I've come to realize that the best way I -- and all of us -- can achieve that is by joining the fights that are taking place in communities across this country to bring common sense back to our gun laws.
Right now, a ballot initiative to close background check loopholes in Washington State -- Yes on 594 -- has tremendous promise. It will save lives in Washington, and could start a national trend for gun law reform and create serious momentum for our movement. But that's exactly why the gun lobby is fighting so hard to stop it, and that's why we need to act right now.
Pledge to vote Yes on 594 today, and help us make universal background checks the law!

Why is this important?
The Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility is the official campaign organization for Yes on 594, and together with tens of thousands of other Washingtonians, we are FINALLY going to enact commonsense reforms to our state gun laws this fall.
With your help, we're finally going to close the guns show loophole, make universal background checks law, make our families safer, and reduce gun violence in our communities. But the gun lobby is fighting hard to stop us, so we need your help now.
