A couple of weeks ago, many of our Senators went against the will of 90 percent of the American people and?rejected a bipartisan compromise amendment?that would have expanded gun background checks. ?This group included four Democratic senators who voted no on the bill. In a 54 to 46 vote, they have proven that politics and being owned by the gun lobby comes before the will of the American people.
Here are their Twitter handles. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is not included because he voted against the amendment on procedural grounds. Let’s slam these cowards with our dissatisfaction. To see a full list of how all of the Senators voted, visit the Senate website.
