Today, many in our nation feel divided, angry and uncertain.
But this Memorial Day weekend it's important to remember that soldiers are not divided between Democrats and Republicans or liberals and conservatives — soldiers are American — as we are all Americans.

I want to wish all mothers out there a very Happy Mother's Day!

Dear Friends,

No matter where you stand on the gun violence reform debate, we can all agree that something must be done to prevent not just mass shootings at schools but daily gun violence in communities across the country.
I think most of us can agree that the Constitution allows the government to make and apply strict laws that prevent dangerous people from buying or possessing guns in America.
