Responce to Gun Violence

In response to more gun violence across our country, we recognize that "thoughts and prayers" must lead to action on our part.  One possible action is to contact legislators to let them know your opinion.  While it is most helpful to contact those from the state where you are a voter, it is also helpful and appropriate to contact those in other states.  See below for a list of senators who voted against universal background checks.  The information is from 2015 (based on a web site Pastor Sue found).  It has been edited to remove names of Senators who are no longer in office.  As always, action can include your own research.

Senators Who Voted Against Universal Background Checks

            You do not have to be in a Senator’s legislative district to express an opinion to that Senator.  Staffers are generally polite and record opinions.  For example, “I’d like the Senator to know that I support tougher gun control laws, including universal background checks.”   Senators are listed in descending order of the amount of money they received in 2015 from the gun industry.
