Do you support Obama's plan to reduce gun violence?

Let him know:

What good will signing this White House petition do? Who knows, but public support is going to be crucial to getting legislation enacted.

I'm dubious about the value of a couple thousand more COPS resource people in schools stuff.

I think the effort to spend some money on mental health is probably a good thing, but I doubt it will much impact school shootings.

I think Arne Duncan knows nothing about mental health. A conversation led by him and Sebellius will probably be very educational for him.
