26 million signatures is an ambitious goal; why so many?

Because the horror of Newtown deserves an unprecedented, historic response.

Because our elected leaders need to know that we will have their back - in huge numbers - when the gun lobby resurfaces.

Because we need to show the NRA that their money and lobbyists don't stand a chance against a determined and mobilized citizenry in the Internet era.

We can do this!

Please read the letter below, sign the petition, and then email/share/tweet as broadly as you see fit.

Thank you.
