Friends --
Columbine
Newtown
Marysville
Parkland
Great Mills
Too many. Far too many.
We haven't done enough. Not nearly enough. We are failing our children. It must stop.
That's why I helped lead a sit in of the House Chamber. That's why I continue to fight in any way possible to demand sensible changes to our gun laws.
It has been and continues to be a long and difficult fight. But we will not stop. I will continue to work with my friends like John Lewis and Gabby Giffords until we have made the changes we need so there is never another school shooting
Until "active shooter" drills in school are a thing of the past
Until children in Hartford don't have to worry about getting shot playing in their backyards
Until schools, and movie theaters and our streets feel safe again
Until we take real ACTION and address the issue of gun violence that is plaguing America.
Sincerely,
John
