Each week, like many presidents before me, I sit down to record a short
address to the nation. It's something I take very seriously because it
offers a chance to bring focus to an issue that needs to be part
of the national dialogue.
But today, I've asked someone to take my place.
Francine Wheeler is a mother. She and her family live in Newtown,
Connecticut. Four months ago, her six year-old son Ben was
murdered in his elementary school, along with 19 other children
and six brave educators.
Joined by her husband David, Francine shares her perspective about
the steps we can take to reduce gun violence and prevent the kind
of tragedy she understands all too well.
It's a message that every American should hear:
This week, because people like Francine and like you got involved, the
U.S. Senate took a step forward on commonsense reforms to reduce
gun violence.
And that's good. Because this shouldn't be about politics. This is
about doing the right thing for families that have been torn apart
by gun violence, and for all our families going forward.
But we've got a lot of work to do before Congress finishes the job.
So if you believe that we can take sensible steps to protect more
of our kids from gun violence and protect our Second Amendment
rights, stand up and join us.
