Dear Boston, we can see it in your eyes.

Saturday, 9:10 a.m.: A voter registration booth is set up at the high school where marchers are set to step off from.
Students are making signs ahead of the march. Some of those signs read, 'Arms are for hugging' and 'Books not bullets.'

It is not just rhetoric. They are not just marching. They are registering voters. Politicians? Take notice. They are coming for your stance on guns. Be ready. They are going to fight for their lives and candidates better be ready to do the same for them.

Guns are a defining issue today, but there are multiple avenues of agreement on the direction of this country. The Right to Choose, the deregulation of marijuana, our foreign policy, fair taxation, and elections laws.....those are all issues that these newly energized young voters will take to the election booth.

A feel a change acoming.....

Our future.

Unlike DeVos they are not an uninformed dimwit or illiterate and incompetent assholes. They are the children and our future.
