: Oregon legislators are meeting today, December 17, to discuss gun violence prevention issues.
Tell them that gun violence prevention must be a priority issue in 2016.
On December 14, 2012--the same day of the Sandy Hook Massacre--the Oregon legislature was meeting in a special session to address tax relief for Nike. If Nike can have a special session for tax relief, our kids and families deserve to have gun violence prevention relief in 2016--especially after the largest mass shooting in Oregon's history!
Oregon's House and Senate Judiciary Committees are meeting today in Salem to discuss gun violence prevention. Please take a few minutes to tell Senate Judiciary Chair Prozanski and House Judiciary Chair Barker that you want action in 2016 to stop gun violence. The legislators' emails, phone numbers and are listed below.
What: Call your legislator and the legislators listed below.
Why: Your message will influence the gun violence prevention bills that legislators choose to consider in 2016.
How: The names, phone numbers and emails are listed below along with talking points but it's good to use your own words.
When: Please call or email today. Then call again because the gun lobby does. (Print out this sheet as a handy reference for next time.)
Talking points:
- In the aftermath of Oregon's largest mass shooting, we expect our legislators to take significant action to stop gun violence.
- The short legislative session in 2016 is not an excuse. The gun violence is not taking 2016 off and our legislators should not either!
- Legislators should consider bills that will increase standards of gun ownership, require all firearms to be secured, close the "Charleston loophole," and a Lethal Violence Protection Order.
