Feb 2018

(and not yet strong enough to even get around on crutches), I watched 24/7 coverage for days and days. Not healthy, but I just couldn't avert my eyes.

And yes, though Newtown-Sandy Hook holds the place of most unfathomable "evil", every single massacre since Columbine has had a cumulative depressive effect. Like you, I've called Congress after every single GD incident to no avail....

But, I will pull myself together and make those calls again. Truthfully, we need not only to take back House and Senate, but do so with a continuous firestorm of demands. Even our Dems have let us down in the past. We can not let them do so again.
