The Libs are calling for strong political and social action on those who voted "NO" on the Background Checks Bill. Here is an article with the twitter handles (that I found an a "friends" Facebook page - calling for action against them.). I suggest we send a "thank you" to our elected officials who had to courage to do what is right. Way to go ... let's continue to expand our efforts in the pro 2B effort.

The Senate rejected a bipartisan compromise amendment to expand gun background checks on Wednesday, casting a 54 to 46 vote that drew sharp responses from supporters who had seen the measure as a small, significant and viable step forward on gun control.
"All in all, this was a pretty shameful day for Washington," President Barack Obama said, addressing the inaction. Standing behind the president was former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) who moments before had also lambasted senators for their opposition in an email.
Below, a list of the Twitter handles of all of the senators who voted no on the measure, excluding Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who voted against the amendment on procedural grounds. Find their information and let them know how you feel. For a full roll call, click here.
