Still Marching Strong Seven Years Later while Congress Fails to Act

Remembering Mother’s Day and the Million Mom March Chapters

Dear Joe,

Seven years have passed since hundreds of thousands of us gathered on the National Mall in Washington D.C. — and in local communities — to demand that something be done about gun violence.

Contact Your Local MMM Chapter What has happened since we marched in 2000? More than 200,000 people have died from guns and another 450,000 have been seriously injured.

And yet, Congress has done nothing to address the daily toll of gun deaths and injuries in America.

Even as our nation is still reeling about the deaths of 32 students and teachers at Virginia Tech, our leaders are silent. They are hoping we forget. Move on. Don’t demand action.

But we don’t forget: we continue to ask the President, Congress, our local leaders, and our neighbors: “What are YOU going to do about gun violence?”

One thing you can do about gun violence is to get involved locally. What started as one of the largest marches on Washington is now a national network of Million Mom March Chapters around the U.S. that work locally, yet stand together, in the fight against gun violence. Click here contact your local Chapter. You can also look up the events from coast to coast that Chapters are participating in this weekend.

Also this week, you can pick up a copy of the latest Ladies’ Home Journal magazine (with Dr. Phil on the cover). The issue features a strong and in-depth look at the illegal gun trafficking problem in America, featuring the story of a North Carolina mother who lost her husband to someone who shouldn’t have had a gun.

And we promise to keep working with our Congressional allies to move strong gun laws forward. Whether it is strengthening the Brady background check system, keeping guns out of terrorists hands, or cracking down on corrupt gun dealers, we are aggressively fighting to make our communities safer.

Jim and I wish you a Happy Mother’s Day — and thank all of you who continue to fight this fight, through your Million Mom March Chapter, your e-activism, or your donations. Working together, we can prevent gun violence in America.

Sincerely,

Sarah’s Signature

Sarah Brady, Chair

Purely disgusting, it was all I could do to not upchuck after reading this.

ezearln · 05-10-2007, 05:22 PM

Wonder if she's getting her gun deaths/injured statistics at the same HCI Misinformation site as all the rest do?

.22guy · 05-10-2007, 07:58 PM

Umm, Joe why are they sending you this crap? Are you trying to keep up to date on what the other side is saying? I don't think I could stand to receive this kind of stuff regularly.

Mooseman684 · 05-10-2007, 08:42 PM

200,000 killed with guns and 450,000 wounded...Must be talking about IRAQ !

LOL...still someone who thinks there are 2 sides...funny stuff.

BattleRifleG3 · 05-14-2007, 11:14 AM

It's good to know what the enemy's up to as long as we keep it in the proper perspective.

Yes there are different sides. A right side and a wrong side.

If Brady wants to mobilize support to oppose violence, she should pursue methods that actually do fight violence, even having nothing to do with guns one way or the other. By focusing solely on guns she is ignoring violence prevention in general and going against her stated purpose.

CrazyIvan · 05-14-2007, 11:24 AM

Naw, I'm talking about JL's perspective that Repubs and Dems are 2 different entities...they are all the same...Lying, power hungry folks who want to rid us of our rights and take all of our cash...they all the same.
