| Dear 5849376, It's outrageous. And shameful. Because of 45 senators, including four Democrats, the American people won't get an up-or-down vote on even the most modest part of the president's gun regulation agenda. At the behest of the NRA, these cowardly senators filibustered a bipartisan compromise that would have expanded background checks. Expanding background checks is supported by 90 percent of the American people. But it's opposed by the NRA and the gun manufacturers. And as a result, 45 senators mounted a filibuster to kill the bill. Tell your senator: Shame on you for filibustering the bipartisan compromise on expanding background checks and for killing our best chance at strengthening gun regulations in the wake of Newtown.

We have asked for sensible gun violence prevention laws to be enacted. But in the end, the Senate voted with the NRA, not the vast majority of the American people. These senators need to know that we are holding them responsible for this undemocratic filibuster that denied an up-or-down vote on background checks.
