Feinstein & Schumer need to put their gun control bill in NOW. Call them!

The two Senators have been working on a bill for a year, and are set to introduce it in January.

I called Senator Feinstein's Los Angeles office just now.

She's my Senator, and I wanted to simply say: PLEASE don't wait until January to submit that gun control legislation. January is too late already.

I can't believe that I burst into tears while talking with the aide in Los Angeles. Haven't really cried till now, and the tears were just running down my face...

My recommendation is that we try to get as many as possible to contact Feinstein and Schumer to introduce their bill immediately. The NRA and their enablers are waiting for the noise to die down, and by January it will be the same old song and dance in Congress.
