Dear CODEPINKer,
Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid has the power to ban assault weapons—let's
make him do it!
Yesterday we stood up against the NRA during its
nationally televised press conference, and support has been pouring
in from people who are disgusted by the gun lobby's outsized influence
on our government. Please
join us in asking Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to stand up
to the NRA by supporting a ban on assault weapons.
People were
horrified by the NRA's proposed solution to gun violence: more guns,
including arming all our schools. The only ones who would benefit
from such madness is the gun industry that the NRA represents. Real
solutions mean limiting guns, especially assault weapons that are
only good for mass murder.
Democratic Senator
Harry Reid has the power to allow a vote on Senator Feinstein's
legislation banning assault weapons--a measure supported by President
Obama and Vice President Biden. But so far, Reid, a good friend
of the gun lobby, has refused to support the ban.
Earlier this week, we
went to Reid's office telling him the time for action
is NOW.
We can't allow
this moment to pass without taking action! Please
join us in telling Harry Reid that it's time to break with the NRA
and support an assault weapons ban.
Onwards,
Alli,
Medea, Jodie, Nancy, Rae, Sam and Tighe
