Received this e-mail today from former Lt. Governor Patty Judge’s (D. IA) U.S. Senate campaign:
Friend,
This is infuriating:
Tonight, Republicans in the Senate blocked two commonsense gun safety amendments that Democrats backed. These are amendments that our country desperately needs. Preventing terrorists from purchasing guns and expanding background checks should not even be a debate, especially in the wake of the worst shooting in U.S. history.
Yet Chuck Grassley and Senate Republicans are shamelessly siding with the NRA and voting against critical amendments to make America safer.
That's right: Not only did Senate Republicans block these two commonsense gun safety amendments, but they got behind Chuck Grassley who introduced a dangerous gun amendment that actually loosens existing restrictions and makes it easier for dangerously mentally ill individuals to get guns.
Enough is enough.
Tonight, I'm standing with Senate Democrats and I'm asking you to join me: Sign my petition denouncing Chuck Grassley and Republicans in the Senate for blocking commonsense gun safety.
Thank you for standing with me and holding Senate Republicans accountable.
Patty Judge
