*** Senate Hearings on firearms legislation TODAY ! Here's your chance to be heard. *** [View all]

If you don't do one another thing today, please call and email your elected officials in the House and Senate -- and Harry Reid -- and demand legislation to make our public spaces safe from guns. Hearings start in the Senate today. Reid is wavering, and a lot of congresspersons are afraid of their constituencies -- if they don't hear from us, what they hear will be very one-sided.


Here's an editorial from this AM's NYTimes.

"The reform effort will require an unprecedented outpouring of public support and pressure on Congress"
