Your president has called upon you (CONGRESS AND GUN CONTROL) 17JAN13

IF you agree with Pres Obama's and VP Biden's gun control proposals as outlined on 16JAN13 then e mail your Representative and tell them to support the legislation when it comes to the House for a vote. See details of these proposals in my earlier post The NRA’s influence — in 6 charts 16JAN13 & OPENSECRETS.ORG NRA PAGE http://bucknacktssordidtawdryblog.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-nras-influence-in-6-charts-16jan13.html

Please send an email to your member of the House of Representatives, telling him or her to pass the gun safety proposals outlined by President Obama.

Earlier today, President Obama announced a series of executive orders on gun safety. However, the most important changes we can make to improve gun safety in America can only come with congressional action. These include:
  1. Universal background checks whenever someone buys a gun, whether it is from a licensed dealer or a private seller;
  2. Restoring the ban on military-style assault weapons, and a 10 round limit for magazines;
  3. Improving access to mental health services;
  4. Increasing funding for school security and safety
As President Obama himself said, "this will not happen unless the American people demand it." That means you.

Tell Congress: Pass the gun safety proposals outlined by President Obama.

The gun lobby has stood in the way of enacting common sense measures for too long. We finally have a chance to make a difference, but we need to help members of Congress find their spines.

Ask your representatives if they prefer getting an A rating from the gun lobby, or giving parents peace of mind when they drop their kids off for first grade.

I know my answer, I think I know yours, but make sure you know where your member of Congress stands.

Keep fighting,
