Hello this is Emily with the Kansas National Education Association if you are like me you are heartsick about the massacres in Gilroy El Paso Dayton and many other American towns and cities families and communities even schools are being devastated by gun violence we need you to raise your voice and tell your senators to take real bipartisan action to protect communities across the nation the House has passed legislation that would be a 1st step in combating gun violence now the Senate must act by supporting Senate bill 42 the background check expansion Act which would expand background checks and ensure that violent criminals cannot get guns your Senator Pat Roberts needs to hear from concerned voters like you and support Senate bill 42 if you press one will connect you to Senator Roberts' office right now it will take less than one minute to leave a message urging him to take action on Senate bill 42 but hearing from you will really make a difference please press one now and we'll connect you.
