The Fine Art of Grassroots Politics seems lost on Today's Generation.
Would be so much more neutral with only omitting a few words:
To continue the fight against crime, and to keep our streets and homes safe, Texas Democrats support just and smart policies, including:
∙ strengthen the national background check system to incorporate all necessary records including criminal, domestic violence, mental health records, institute a universal background check system to ensure that all firearm sales are subject to a background check;
∙ sensible gun control laws.
We support:
∙ legislation to preserve the right to self-defense.
I think worded as above they could get some swing over Voters....now is the time to broaden our definitions not narrow and pigeonhole ourselves. imo. ymmv.
