Call to Action: March 4, 2018

PASS COMPREHENSIVE GUN LEGISLATION NOW 

#ExpectUs #GunSense #KeepGoing

Gun violence is a public health crisis inflicted on America and her children.

Gun violence loudly invades our lives with mass shootings, school shootings, and active shooter drills in schools.

Gun violence quietly and completely devastates day-to-day life when 96 people are murdered daily.

Trump, McConnell, Ryan and #Complict Walden . . .

Do Nothing!

We refuse to live under this constant threat. We demand that our federal elected officials act NOW. We demand comprehensive gun reform that will keep our country and children safe.

If this Congress won’t help America, we must vote in a Congress that will!

**ACTION 1: Call #Complict Walden and our Senators**

SAMPLE SCRIPT for NRA Lobbyist Walden:
“My name is [–] and I’m a constituent and voter from [city], Oregon [zip code]. I am appalled and disgusted that Greg Walden has received and kept donations from the NRA and continues to lobby on their behalf instead of representing ORD2 constituents who support sensible gun legislation. I demand the House pass comprehensive gun safety legislation NOW! We need to keep our children and country safe. Thank you.”

SAMPLE SCRIPT for Senators Merkley and Wyden: 
“My name is [–] and I’m a constituent and voter from [city], Oregon [zip code]. I am appalled at the unwillingness of congressional leaders to tackle gun violence. I demand the Senate pass comprehensive gun safety legislation NOW! Start with blocking concealed carry reciprocity and then move on to passing comprehensive gun safety legislation so that our country and children safe. Thank you.”
