Re: Reducing Gun Violence
In last night’s State of the Union (SOTU) address, President Obama addressed many crucial issues affecting our country. His remarks touched on some of the League’s priority issues including voting rights, climate change, immigration and gun violence.
LWVUS submitted a statement to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights on February 12, 2013.
Next Tuesday, February 12th, President Obama will deliver his annual State of the Union (SOTU) address, which will outline his key priorities for the year and second term in office. The League will be eagerly tuning in to learn more about how the President plans to tackle our top issues, including money in politics, election reform, climate change, gun safety, and immigration.
Today’s announcement from President Obama that his administration will seek common sense solutions to the gun violence that plagues our nation is truly good news for all Americans.
