Today, June 9, is the birthday of Kirsten Elizabeth Hinckley. She would be 32 but died at 15 in the 2007 Salt Lake City attack. A sophomore in high school, Kirsten was passionate, trustworthy, talented, had a zest for life, and above all, was loving. Image

Senate Republicans up for reelection in states like AZ, CO, OH and ME need to stop standing with the NRA and start standing up for our kids by demanding Mitch McConnell #GiveUsAVote on background checks for gun sales. Don’t ask for our votes if you can’t do your job right now! 2/
Trump says he is “all in favor” of strong background checks for gun sales. Actions speak louder than words. He needs to get #MoscowMich McConnell to #GiveUsAVote in the Senate on measures already advanced in the House. Let’s get this done. #Enough! 3/
