Senator John Hoeven

If you live in North Dakota, register and vote on November 8: you can call to account Senator John Hoeven, who voted to kill the Bipartisan Act to Make Our Communities Safer, the first gun-control law to get through the U.S. Senate in almost 30 years. In the three-way race for the Senate seat, Senator Hoeven has received demands that he "give back or contribute” more than $21,000 he has taken from the Gun Lobby. Gun manufacturers and marketers, and their lobbyists, have a lock on the votes and power of nearly 40 U.S. Senators in Washington. But our U.S. Constitution requires, every two years, one-third of the 100 U.S. Senators to stand for re-election. One-third -that’s 33 Senators who have blocked every reasonable and legal way to keep guns out of the hands of killers. The reason the Constitution requires that is to give voters a voice – a voice to evaluate and comment on their senators’ work over the six years of their senatorial terms (or longer). Don't stand on the sidelines November 8. Take a stand for the lives of our school children and vote against Senator Hoeven. Tell your friends, too.
