Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina voted against last June’s Bipartisan Safer Communities Act – the first gun-control law to get through the U.S. Senate in almost 30 years. Even hardliner Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the former Senate Majority Leader, voted for that law, which was a national response to public horror over the murders of innocents in Uvalde, Texas, and Buffalo, New York.
If you live in South Carolina, register and vote on November 8: you can call to account Senator Scott, who does not generally support gun-control legislation.
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 Tim Scott. Tell your friends, too.
