Encourages votes for Democrats
After a weekend of more deadly gun violence I beg you to contact your elected officials and demand that something be done. Thoughts and prayers are just giving lip service to the crisis. Please mothers, grandmothers, and all sensible voting age adults get out and vote for someone who will actually do something. It’s evident to me that the Republican Party is owned by the NRA, and we also have a President who incites violence! Vote blue! The lives of our children depend on it!
