Message from Gabby and Mark

xxxxxxxxxx,

Donald Trump’s running mate, Indiana Governor Mike Pence is about to take the stage at the Republican National Convention, but before he does there is something we have to say.

A Trump-Pence ticket that is so firmly in the gun lobby’s grip cannot be trusted to address our nation’s growing gun violence crisis and take responsible action. They share the gun lobby’s vision of an America where everyone is armed, but no one is safe.

From allowing guns in school parking lots, to making it easier for dangerous people to carry loaded, hidden guns, Mike Pence has a record of giving into the gun lobby. America will be less safe with him and Trump in the Oval Office.
That’s why we have to ask:

Contribute $3 to Americans for Responsible Solutions PAC as a way of saying you will stand with us in our campaign to keep Donald Trump and Mike Pence out of the White House.

Over the course of the next few months, we are going to travel the country to ensure gun violence prevention voters understand the stakes in this election, and that they get to the polls. We will also continue to ramp up the pressure on U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte in New Hampshire and support champions for commonsense solutions in other states. Your contribution goes a long way towards that work, and towards advancing our shared values.

All our best,
Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly


If you could throw Gabby and Mark a bone or two that would be great. If not, that's cool. Gabby is one of the most amazing people I've ever met. They are going 'heavy on the pedal' this election year in their fight to reduce (will it ever end?) gun violence.
