Obama’s Campaign Organization Turns to Gun Control - ABC News: President Obama said Wednesday that his plan to curb gun violence would not come to fruition “unless the American people demand it.” And today, he began mobilizing his still-active presidential campaign apparatus to do just that.

Obama campaign manager Jim Messina is leading the charge, tapping the president’s coveted 4 million-strong email list to share details of the White House gun plan and launch a new online petition calling for action on gun reform: “Say you stand with President Obama in tackling this critical issue,” Messina wrote.

Later, tweeting for the first time since Election Day, Messina wrote: “Whoa. Early response to gun violence petition this morning very strong. Thousands of signers already.”
