Mailbag: Mayors against Illegal Guns

My heart aches for the families of Newtown, Connecticut. We need to reach out to the loved ones of those who were murdered and to the community that has been shattered. We need to let them know that they are in our thoughts and our prayers, and that we are ready to do what it takes to make sure a tragedy like this never happens again. Share your personal message of condolence with the families of Newtown, Connecticut. I've heard a lot of promises from politicians since my daughter was murdered in Tucson, Arizona, including President Obama. But I am still waiting for them to act. And I'm not alone in my frustration. As horrible as it sounds, mass shootings have become common in our country, and 34 Americans are murdered with guns every single day. That means 48,000 people will be murdered with guns in the president's next term. Yet our broken laws remain broken, and our leaders have yet to step forward with a plan to end gun violence. We need to make sure today's terrible tragedy is the last of its kind. We need to make a promise to ourselves and demand action from our leaders. Please join me in sharing your feelings -- and your promise -- with those who have lost so much: www.demandaplan.org/condolences Thank you for your support, Roxanna Green
