CALL TO ACTION: Be Bold, Congress! Demand Full Mueller Report; Reauthorize VAWA (March 29, 2019)

BE BOLD, CONGRESS!

DEMAND FULL MUELLER REPORT

REAUTHORIZE THE VAWA


Yesterday, after withstanding a purely partisan attack, Representative Adam Schiff made a clear and damning speech, outlining how the Trump campaign colluded with Russia, showing how vital it is we see the full Mueller report.

Congress must be bold and demand that Attorney General Barr release the full Mueller report. Immediately.

This week the NRA issued a “key vote” against the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). They object to provisions that protect women against gun violence.  As Speaker Pelosi stated “Members have a decision to make: will they protect survivors of stalking & domestic abuse? Or are they willing to allow convicted stalkers & abusers to have access to firearms?”

Congress must be bold, be willing to risk a downgraded rating from the NRA, and work to save women’s lives.  They must reauthorize the VAWA. Immediately.

Now is not the time to be timid.  Members of Congress must be bold, put country over party and donors, and work to . . .

Save Our Democracy!

Save Our Lives!
