Shame on the U.S. Senate

"Shame on you for failing to pass background checks on gun buyers. Shame on you for kowtowing to the gun lobby instead of protecting our kids and families. We demand an up-or-down vote on gun safety, and we will hold you accountable."

Why is this important?

Shame on all 46 Senators--including 4 Democrats--who just voted against requiring background checks for gun purchases--something 90% of Americans support. Four months after the Newtown massacre, they are still kowtowing to the gun lobby instead of protecting our kids and families.

Right now, we need to send a loud message to let these 46 senators know just how disgusted we are with their inability to put our children and families ahead of the NRA. Champions in the Senate are going to keep fighting for this bill and we need put every senator who voted "No" on notice: We're here, we know what you did, and we're going to hold you accountable.
