Shame on you, Governor Sununu for turning your back on our children.

New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu

At a final debate as a Gubernatorial candidate in 2016, Chris Sununu promised voters he’d support universal background checks and other measures to protect Granite Staters, especially victims of domestic violence, but now Sununu is siding with the corporate gun lobby instead of standing up for common sense public safety measures.  

Last week, Chris Sununu vetoed three bills meant to implement common sense gun violence protection measures. Three bills passed by the New Hampshire House and Senate and supported by a majority of New Hampshire citizens.  Three bills which would have made our schools, places of worship, and stores where New Hampshire families shop safer.  

We don’t have to wonder who has the ear of Governor Sununu. We do have to wonder why he is listening to them.

Our current Governor has no intention of keeping guns out of our schools or out of the hands of those who will use them to do harm to others or to themselves. He has shown us where his priorities lie – and they are not with the children or educators of New Hampshire.

Add your name to the petition reminding Chris Sununu of his broken promise.

You broke your promise to us and to our children.

You put the support and gratitude of the corporate gun lobby ahead of the safety of our children and teachers - even after you promised you wouldn't.

I believe that schools should be safe havens for our children and that guns have no place in school zones, period.

It is clear now that you have no intention of keeping guns out of our schools or out of the hands of those who will use them to do harm to others or to themselves. It's a shame you broke your promise.

We do not need to debate one day longer on why mass killings take place in America. We’ve seen enough people killed in schools, in houses of worship, in malls, at movie theaters and stores.

You missed a golden opportunity to replace thoughts and prayers with lifesaving action that a majority of Granite Staters support. You chose to support the NRA and turned your back on our kids.

Shame on you.
