Dear Friend,

As part of our continued partnership with progressive allies, today VoteVets.org and the Center for American Progress released a national poll of veterans views on gun violence.

With the Senate set to vote on a comprehensive gun-violence prevention bill, a new poll released today and commissioned by the Center for American Progress Action Fund and VoteVets.org leaves no doubt that veterans believe the president and Congress need to do something to address gun violence. The nationwide survey of 804 registered voters who are veterans of the military illustrates that veterans believe it is possible to strengthen the country's gun laws while continuing to protect the right to bear arms.

This poll comes on the heels of our hard-hitting new ad for background checks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flo5MthVnAA

Some of the media coverage is below.

As always, this could not be done without the support of our friends.

Best,

Jon
