Dear MoveOn member,

I'm David Pihl, a fellow MoveOn member in Haydenville, Massachusetts, and I started a petition to Governor Charlie Baker and the Massachusetts State Legislature, which says:

Charlie Baker: Remove NRA leader Ronald Amidon as Commissioner of Fish & Game and remove links on the Massachusetts state website to NRA affiliate Gun Owners Action League.
Sign David's petition

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker appointed local NRA leader Ronald Amidon as Commissioner of the Department of Fish & Game in July 2017.1,2

Amidon was president of the Gun Owners' Action League (GOAL), the NRA's state affiliate in Massachusetts. Fish & Game is now directing visitors on the state website to GOAL for more information on gun ownership.3 GOAL advocates for the repeal of our state's gun safety laws.4

The NRA's positions on gun safety DO NOT reflect the values of Massachusetts' residents. DUMP THE NRA!

Click here to add your name to this petition, and then pass it along to your family and friends.

Thanks!

–David Pihl
