Action Needed Now by Diane Dougherty ARCWP, School Shootings in 2002, Add Robb Elementary School to the List, 245 elementary, middle, high school and universities since 1998

 


This is the time we MUST advocate loudly to stop the virus of violence against Americans  by demanding such from all our elected officials.  In writing, by phone, by protest-now is our time to strategize, organize, and mobilize locally and nationally....and globally-stop the selling of guns...

In America 50  Republican senators today have blocked every legislation targeted as common sense gun laws that have passed the house of representatives 2 years ago....they will not vote for it....The governor of Texas response to mass shooting was to sign 7 laws allowing for easier access to the purchase of guns.



In Georgia, the Governor signed the same legislation as Texas that allows anyone to buy a gun-18 or over.  19 states with Republican leadership have open carry gun laws..In Buffalo, the shooter bought guns in one of those states, travelled 4 hours across state lines and targeted a black community in a grocery store-why? to terrorize them...it is working.

Here is a list of mass shootings in high schools throughout the US since 1998.   
We must all become activists and encourage others to do the same...
This is not a party issue-it is an issue in which we must all work to restore a democracy. that will defeat the gun lobby and get senators out of office that promote this unnecessary violence...

We must  not be numb-but act where  we can....more than prayers and thoughts.

245 elementary, middle, high school and universities since 1998. In 1996 Republican legislators held both chambers of congress and decided to defund the CDC that was keeping data on domestic gun violence and deaths. Perhaps there is a bigger picture here. Although Clinton was President, both chambers of congress were Republican, a reaction to his ban on assault weapons..Newt Gingrich was Speaker....This was a mobilizing incentive by Republicans to open up gun access by the gun lobby and  began decades of terrorism against Americans domestically in the name of a 2nd amendment right.  So hard to comprehend.  So wrong.

Don't be confused or sick about this-do what you have the power to do..
