The following sponsored email was sent to you by AlterNet on behalf of Tammy Duckworth for Senate: 

Dear Friend,

Last week, Tammy Duckworth got out of her wheelchair to sit on the House floor and demanded action on gun violence.

Tammy comes from a family of outdoorsmen and marksmen. But as a combat Veteran, she knows that assault rifles like the AR-15 are weapons of war designed to rip through human beings.

Add your name to support Tammy’s effort to push forward legislation to end gun violence.

90% of Americans support background checks on gun purchases, but instead of listening to the Democratic effort to vote on important gun legislation, Republican congressional leaders turned off the cameras. Then, they tried to interrupt the Democratic sit-in in order to undermine retirement savings for our seniors. Their priorities are completely out of order

Congress’ failure to act is shameful. In the face of inaction, our best hope for progress on gun violence is to elect a congressional majority that is ready to pass meaningful gun legislation. That’s why Tammy is running for U.S. Senate.

Do your part: Add your name to help Tammy fight to end gun violence in the U.S. Senate.

Thank you for taking action,

Team Duckworth
