The NRA Has No Place In The Nomination Process!
Dr. Vivek Murthy would make an amazing Surgeon General — and his outspokenness is something we should embrace, not silence. Please stand up to the extreme pro-gun lobby and vote in favor of Dr. Murthy’s nomination
Why is this important?
The NRA is at it again, accusing Obama’s nominee of Surgeon General of being a dangerous “radical” for daring to point out that gun violence like the tragedy at Sandy Hook is a health care issue.
Forget that studies clearly support Dr. Vivek Murthy's claim — firearm suicides are the second leading cause of death for Americans under 35, and highest in states with high gun concentrations — Democratic Senators are already cowering in fear of the NRA's political clout even though most Americans disagree with the NRA's positions on every single issue!
We have to tell these Senators to represent the interests of the majority of Americans - not this one radical special interest.
Call on Senate Democrats to stop kowtowing to the radical pro-gun lobbyists and confirm Dr. Murphy as our next Surgeon General!
