Sign Gabby Gifford's Gun Pledge.

Sign Gabby’s Pledge:
The cycle has to end, but it will only happen when politicians realize they have more to fear from you than they do the gun lobby.

Take Gabby's Pledge:

"I promise you that if we cannot make our communities safer from gun violence with the Congress we have now, I will use every means available to make sure we have a different Congress, one that puts communities' interests ahead of the gun lobby's. I will Vote Courage in November and support candidates who will stand up to the gun lobby and take action to make our communities safer."

All donated funds will go directly to Gabby's PAC rather than into the coffers of any opportunistic politicians who may try to co-opt her cause.

...I contacted giffords.org directly.

I'll be sending a contribution to HER committee, not falling for the sneaky way funds are being soliciting funds for themselves without being forthright about precisely WHERE the money is going. To be honest, I don't think the way that is being done complies with FEC laws and regulations.
