Friend --

Two weeks ago, 45 senators sided with the gun lobby and voted to block the expansion of background checks for gun sales.

Every single one of those senators expects the issue to fade away -- that, over time, we'll all forget.

We won't, and next week, OFA will hand congressional leaders physical proof of it: the names of hundreds of thousands of people who aren't backing down.

Sign the petition today and demand action to prevent gun violence:

I've spent enough time in Washington to know that the way you win a fight like this, faced with some of the most powerful special interests, is just to refuse to give up.

Thanks -- we'll keep you posted.
