Friend --

If Thursday was any indication, the NRA and the rest of the gun lobby better 
watch out: Last week's Day to Demand Action to prevent gun violence 
showed just how much support there is for common-sense legislation 
like universal background checks.

Here's a quick report back:

    -- Grassroots volunteers held more than 130 events across the country 
with thousands in attendance, from Tucson to West Palm Beach to Portsmouth.

    -- Supporters who couldn't make it spoke out online: The hashtag #DemandAction 
was the #1 trending topic nationally on Twitter, and our top Facebook post 
received more than 116,000 likes and 23,000 shares on Thursday alone.

    -- Our volunteer-led events received local and national media coverage on 
news outlets across the country, including CNN, Fox News, and hundreds of 
local ABC, NBC, and CBS affiliates.

Members of Congress were back in their home districts last week, and I guarantee 
they heard our voices.

Whether they do the right thing and pass legislation 92 percent of Americans 
support -- or cave to the powerful gun lobby -- depends on what we do next.

Add your name to the hundreds of thousands of Americans and OFA
supporters demanding action to prevent gun violence:

We started a drumbeat last Thursday, and as long as we don't stop now, our 
representatives in Congress will have no choice but to act.

Thanks for being part of this fight.
