10:20AM: Email the Speaker of the House
Here is your script:
Subject: Ban Assault Weapons and Large Capacity Magazines
We cannot continue to allow people to be hunted down when there are clear solutions on the table to end gun violence like banning assault weapons and large capacity magazines.
It’s critical that our leaders such as yourself take these solutions seriously and do something as soon as possible. Our one job is to keep our children safe, and we are failing. Take action and secure a future for all our children, no matter what. Thank you.
