Organizing for Action, the group that was President Obama’s reelection team, sent out a fundraising pitch to supporters that features the 1999 Columbine High School shooting.

“My son, Daniel, was a smart, quiet kid. He’d just become a straight-A student, and he was overcoming his shyness as a new member of the debate team,” the pitch, signed by Tom Mauser of Littleton, Colorado, reads.

“On April 20th, 1999, my beautiful and bright 15-year-old son was killed by two teenagers with guns in the library of Columbine High School — one of 12 innocent kids who lost their lives for no reason at all. It’s been 14 years since that horrible day — 14 years of fighting so no family has to grieve like ours did. These tragedies keep happening, and so far, Congress has failed to take common-sense action to stop them — even though nine in 10 Americans have agreed that it’s time to act by expanding background checks to close the loopholes that put guns in the hands of dangerous people.”

This Wednesday, OFA and allied organizations are standing up for a national Day of Action to ask members of Congress: What will it take to finally act to prevent gun violence?

“I hope you’ll join in — say you’ll do one thing this week to show Congress you want action to prevent gun violence.”

 

The ask comes after signing the petition, when users get this :
