The U.S. Surgeon General has nothing to do with gun control.

Federal medical research institutions are even forbidden to study guns as part of their public health mission or even to advocate for firearms restrictions.

Do not let the NRA bully you into filibustering Dr. Vivek Murthy’s nomination. He is a qualified nominee, who deserves a fair vote on the Senate floor on the issues that matter.

Why is this important?

President Obama has nominated Dr. Vivek Murthy as U.S. Surgeon General, but the NRA has declared war on him—even though the Surgeon General has nothing to do with gun control.

The NRA is threatening senators who have tough re-election battles in November, and it is working. Ten Democrats have refused to support Murthy, and one plans to vote “no.”

Sign the petition to Senate Democrats: Don’t cave to the NRA, and give Dr. Vivek Murthy a fair vote on issues that matter to the Surgeon General.
