FEDERAL DAILY ACTION-THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 2018
THE CALL-Demand Action Against Gun Violence
The United States has more guns per capita than any other peer nation; Americans constitute about 4% of the world’s population but own 42% of all civilian firearms. On average, there is a mass shooting almost every day of the year in the United States, and the nation has far higher rates of gun homicides than any other developed nation.

KEEP DARK MONEY OUT OF POLITICS. PASS A CLEAN BUDGET BILL
Conservatives are working with Donald Trump to sneak riders into the budget that would unleash even more dark money into our elections if they pass. They include blocking enforcement of the Johnson Amendment, which keeps churches from donating to political campaigns.
