Live in NC? Here are your choices for Senator: @cheribeasleync, who supports reproductive freedom and common sense gun reform and making the economy work for everyone…or Ted Budd, who, among other things:
😤 Wants to ban abortion (even cosponsored a bill banning it nationally after 15 weeks) even in cases of rape and incest.
🤮 Voted against North Carolinians receiving relief, but applied for a $10 million PPP loan from the government for his business that he never paid back!
😢 Owns a gun shop and voted against universal background checks as well as active shooter notifications.

This one feels pretty clear, huh?

It’s too much. On the heels of the Buffalo and California shootings (both targeting people of color), another shooting at an elementary school. How many innocent kids and teachers have to sacrifice their lives to protect the Second Amendment? This is ridiculous. I don’t care about your right to bear arms (get a musket if you want one) but I do care about being able to send my children to school without worrying about their safety. And by the way, this massacre was committed with an AR-15. If you want to puke, read up on the difference between what that gun does to a body vs a handgun. There is NO reason for this to be available for purchase. What can we do?
