Heartbreaking interview on 60 Minutes with Newtown Parents.

Tears streaming down my cheeks I witness the naked pain in the faces of these stricken Mothers and Fathers. We cannot let the makers of arms and ammunition and their puppet NRA keep reasonable safety legislation from passing.

Which group it was that was ignoring some of the parents that were trying to get attention? Was it the GOP caucus or a group like the NRA? I missed what they said. The way some of them walked by the parents was disgusting. Thankfully others did stop and talk with them.

and thus they weren't ignoring them personally. I don't know if I were a legislator going in for a vote that I made up my mind on already that I would work a ropeline.

are working on creating an animal sanctuary that will bear her name. I give them so much credit for channeling unimaginable pain into something good. If you are on Facebook, please consider "liking" this page:

We cannot let our country forget about those children and the brave people who died trying to protect them.

The NRA is an evil, evil institution...and they're still getting away with it.
