We the People - Take Back the Streets

We the People of the United States of America, as parents, as individuals, as sons and daughters, as brothers and sisters, as aunts and uncles, as grandparents, come to you, our Congress, to say that we expect you to faithfully and fairly do your job, according to the solemn promise you made when you took office.

We the People of the United States of America, come to you, our Congress, to say that we expect you to form a more perfect Union and listen to our voices, for so much of our future is in your hands.

We the People of the United States of America, come to you, our Congress, to say that we expect you to act responsibly. We hired you, by electing you, and we expect you to do the job for which you are being compensated.

We the People of the United States of America, come to you, our Congress, to say that we expect you to take seriously your duty to protect the LIFE, LIBERTY and PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS of America’s people.

We the People of the United States of America, come to you, our Congress, to say that we expect you to provide for our safety and security by strictly enforcing all current gun regulations, passing and enforcing new gun regulations that require full background checks, reasonable waiting periods, annual licensing and registration of all firearms without exception, certificates of completion in gun safety courses, and a full ban on non-military ownership of all assault weapons and high capacity (9 rounds or more) magazines.

We the People of the United States of America, come to you, our Congress, to say that we expect you to secure the Blessings of Liberty for us and for our children. Our lives have been robbed of our children, our mothers, our fathers, our sisters, our brothers, our friends, and our assurance of safety in our own communities because it is so easy to get deadly weapons in America. It is time to take back the streets of America from gangs and criminals by enforcing existing and future gun regulations.

We the People of the United States of America, come to you, our Congress, to say that we expect you to ensure that we are cared for and safe from harm because it is our fundamental right to have a future.

We the People of the United States of America, come to you, our Congress, to say that we expect you to do these things without negating the First and Second Amendment rights that we hold inalienable as citizens of this free nation.

Why is this important?

It is time to take back the streets, public places, and homes of America from gangs and criminals by enforcing existing gun regulations and, where necessary, passing reasonable and common-sense new regulations, without negating the Second Amendment rights of peaceful and law-abiding citizens.
