I have been asked to post this info about current details regarding supporting gun control.

I posted it late last night after I put it together from the info I get from the various liberal/activist groups I belong to. The number of events/locations has tripled since Fri when I first received word from the Women's March organizers. There are diff things you can do from donating money, to getting info on your reps in both parties, how much NRA contributes, phone numbers, scripts, how you can help support gun control as an adult, parent, student, community member, etc. as well as locations, maps dates/times...
#ENOUGH Pﹰlease spread the word Tﹰhanks!

Can The Moron pardon Manafort?

What are the pros and cons? I am not familiar with this process.

I AM MAD AS HELL AND ...(Network is on TCM

on Feb 24th) Check your local listings for the time! I wish I could make Finney my avatar.

If Manafort flips do you think he'll tell Mueller

about any dirt on Pence and why he wanted the Moron to choose him as the VP?

February 20, 2018

CNN said Mueller just indicted an

attorney for lying to the Specs Council about interaction with Gates and communications with held from the Spec Council. Mueller is handing down a lot of activity lately.

Several dates amd events are planned to support gun control.

I have been getting a lot of mail from my liberal groups and this last item I received sums up the events pretty well.
Enough Prayers. It's Time to Vote.
If you are sick and tired of the endless mass shootings that haven been happening in our country, there actually is something you can do about it. The reason that no gun laws change despite literally hundreds of school shootings, is that the NRA is lining the pockets of many of our representatives. If we want to see gun laws change, we must vote them out of office.

If you are repped by one of the GOP Senators or Congresspeople on this list, contact them today to tell them you will vote them out of office if they continue to take campaign donations or support of any kind from the NRA. And in the next election, do just that. You can also contact your reps to demand action against gun violence.

March For Our Lives March 24 in DC and sister cities.
School safety is not a political issue. There cannot be two sides to doing everything in our power to ensure the lives and futures of children who are at risk of dying when they should be learning, playing, and growing. The mission and focus of March For Our Lives is to demand that a comprehensive and effective bill be immediately brought before Congress to address these gun issues.

Participants are also coming together to register voters at various marches, to ensure that outrage today will translate to high turnout during November’s midterm elections.

March 14 School/gun safety National Walkout #ENOUGH

The Women's group is supporting the Nationwide Walkout in support of gun control. The event announced on Fri has tripled in size. Parents, educators, students and community members are demanding laws and action from our govt. On March 14th from10:00-10-15 AM we are gathering at school sites, district headquarters, city centers, etc to support the student in FL who are trying to accomplish what adults have not...meaningful gun control and enforced laws. #ENOUGH
March 24 students in FL are walking out of their schools across the state.

Parents have the right to send their kids to school in the mornings and see them home alive at the end of the day.

We are not safe at school. We are not safe in our cities and towns. Congress must take meaningful action to keep us safe and pass federal gun reform legislation that address the public health crisis of gun violence. We want Congress to pay attention and take note: many of us will vote this November and many others will join in 2020.

Join us in saying #ENOUGH!

CNN just interviewed the FL shooting student speakers.

They are pretty sharp and have the Fucking Moron's number and aren't falling for his BS "discussion" that HE planned on his home turf instead of going to the FL town hall which was already planned and he chose not to attend. Chicken shit! The students were the ones who spoke so eloquently at the FL protest yesterday. They said they invited him to THEIR Town Hall but he declined and decided to set up his own where he is the star and center of attention.

There are two events planned for March. On March 14th there is a Nationwide Walkout supported by the Women's Group which will have parents, educators, students and anyone who care about safety in their communities to attend from 10:00-10:15 AM at local school district headquarters, city halls, and state capitals as well as DC. The number of sites hosting events has doubled in the last 24 hours since I was made aware of it and posted it on DU yesterday. There is another event on March 24 for FL schools to do the same.
I was a first grade teacher and union rep for my San Diego school site and was teaching during Sandy Hook and will be at my local Ed Center with my friends and neighbors. Check out the links and see if you are near a site for an event. You are also encouraged to walk out of your job for that 15 min. period in show of support for Congress to write and enforce gun control. #ENOUGH
