Friend -- Fear is what my constituents felt as a man fired his gun at my congressional event in a Safeway parking lot, shooting me point-blank in the head and killing six others, including a 9-year-old-girl. Fear is what the children at Sandy Hook Elementary felt as a gunman went shooting from room to room, killing 26 first graders and educators. Fear is what the clubgoers at Pulse nightclub in Orlando felt as a murderer committed the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history, killing 49 people just last week. Last night, the U.S. Senate voted down two pieces of commonsense gun violence prevention legislation. The senators who voted no will say a lot of things about the votes they cast, and perhaps they might even say they were afraid. But make no mistake, their fear was nothing compared to what far too many victims of gun violence have faced. Theirs was a decision based on political calculations. I know that if we elect Hillary Clinton our next president, she will not fear the gun lobby. She will do everything in her power to make our communities safer from gun violence. No. Matter. What. Speaking is still physically difficult for me, but my feelings are clear: I am furious. And I want to ask you directly: Please make a $3 contribution to elect Hillary Clinton and send Democrats to Congress, take on the gun lobby, and pass commonsense legislation that will make our communities safer from gun violence.
