FOR THE FUTURE... CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE JOSH WELLE.

Dear David,

Teachers change the world.

If it weren't for their encouragement, I would have never been able to run for Congress.

Whether at Wall Elementary School (purple shirt, front row), the U.S. Naval Academy, or graduate school, I would not have been able to serve in and out of uniform.

Next week, one of my favorite teachers is coming to Monmouth County. For over 20 years, David Gergen has mentored leaders in and out of government. He has inspired young people to do more for their country, and to be servant leaders. 

If you are in the area, please attend this special event in Monmouth County. If you live too far away to attend, please kindly support our event so we can advance a new generation of leaders to restore faith in our democracy at a time of unrest.

Join us.

- Josh

The pressure is working. VIRGINIA ATTORNEY GENERAL MARK HERRING.

Parkland. Virginia Tech. Sandy Hook. Charleston. Orlando. Las Vegas. Aurora. Columbine. We will continue to relive this nightmare until politicians care more about people's lives than they do about the gun lobby.

But I’m as hopeful for change as I’ve ever been.

A new generation of inspiring young leaders is cutting through the noise and turning up the heat on politicians and the gun lobby…and they’re getting results.  

The gun lobby and the NRA are losing power and influence every day when they push crazy schemes to arm teachers instead of the most reasonable and broadly supported measures to prevent gun violence.

Lives are at stake, so I’m going to keep speaking out for the commonsense measures we know can make us safer:

✔ Universal background checks
✔ A return to Virginia’s one handgun per month law
✔ Banning high capacity magazines and bump stocks
✔ Reinstating the assault weapons ban to help keep weapons of war off our streets
✔ Gun Violence Restraining Orders to get guns away from people in a crisis

Last year I ran on these ideas, and with your help and support, I was re-elected by an even bigger margin than the first time, despite millions in NRA money for my opponent.

The mid-terms are just a few months away, and if you want action on gun violence, you’ve got to vote for it. Because the only way we’re going to get anything done is by making politicians more afraid of voters than they are of the gun lobby.

Thanks for standing with me in this fight,

Mark

Responses Needed...NET NEUTRALITY. U.S. SENATOR JEANNE SHAHEEN.

This is important: In December, the Republican-led FCC voted to repeal net neutrality, blatantly siding with corporations over everyday Americans.

Thanks to the FCC’s decision, internet providers will be able to block or censor any site they dislike and even charge you more for tweeting, logging onto your email or streaming TV shows. Their vote takes an axe to the very idea of a free and open internet, hurting the economy, consumers, job growth and small businesses along the way.

Now we’ve got just a couple weeks left to overturn the FCC’s decision before it becomes law. Please, before it’s too late.... tell the Senate: Save net neutrality.

Thank you,

Jeanne
