Bladewire --

This week, Republicans in Congress asked for a moment of silence for the victims of the shooting in Orlando. Democrats in the House of Representatives refused. They would not stand silent, they said, about the work it's going to take to end the nation's gun violence epidemic.

Then, Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut and other Senate Democrats launched a filibuster, saying they would not yield the floor until Republicans agreed to debate legislation that would keep guns out of the hands of suspected terrorists and require comprehensive background checks for gun purchases.

They're going to hold the floor of the Senate and keep talking until Republicans listen -- or until they can no longer stay on their feet.

We need to stand with them -- will you add your name right now to stand with Hillary and Democrats in Congress to call for immediate action on gun violence prevention?


Thanks,

Christina
