More than 48,000 Americans will be murdered with guns during the next president's term. How can President Obama and Governor Romney face that chilling fact without a plan?

In the aftermath of the Aurora, Colorado shootings, both candidates made moving statements that echoed the sympathy we're all feeling. But words of condolence are not enough. The time has come for meaningful action.

Call on the candidates to present their plans to address the daily toll that gun violence takes.

Sign the petition to Demand A Plan to End Gun Violence.

Dear President Obama and Governor Romney,

The recent mass shootings in Colorado and Wisconsin were terrible tragedies and painful reminders of the cost of gun violence.

More than 48,000 Americans will be murdered with guns during the next president's term. That's why I'm calling on you to step forward with a substantive plan to end gun violence.

What we need from our nation's leaders is more than just a moment of silence -- we need a moment of courage.

I demand a plan to end gun violence.
