Dear Hunter - 

Did you watch President Obama's State of the Union Address last night?
 
From reforming immigration and education to a focus on job creation and an overdue drawdown in Afghanistan, the president laid out a vision for the next four years that we can all be proud of.
 
But if the divided ovations were any indication, the work ahead won't be easy.
 
There is one issue, however, that has overwhelming public support among Democrats and Republicans: taking common sense action to reduce gun violence in America.
 
If you're ready to stand with VoteVets.org in this fight, make a $5 contribution today and help us organize veterans in support of legislation to prevent gun violence in the United States.

Veterans make extremely powerful messengers on this issue, and the president needs us if he's going to sign a bill.  

Veterans have seen, first hand, the carnage that assault weapons cause.  We've had to go through background checks to get into the military and handle a weapon.  

Our troops in combat aren't even authorized to attach magazines with more than 30 rounds to their semi-automatic weapons.  There's no reason we should authorize it for anyone here at home.
 
We're going to engage on this one, and I'm thankful that we'll be in it together.  Thanks for your support.
 
Best,
 
Jon Soltz
