“I had a tremendous honor this weekend to march in the Million Mom March, along with about 750,000 citizens of this great country. They were moms; they were dads; they were grandmas and grandpas; and children in strollers. We really all had in our hearts one wish for Mother's Day--to turn around the gun violence that is plaguing our Nation. It was quite a march. It was quite an event because the emotion was high. The spirits were high. Perhaps the most touching part of it, for me and for many others, was the presence of so many moms and dads whose families have been touched by gun violence, whose children have been killed by gun violence, cut down by gun violence, maimed by gun violence. The victims were there with a message: That they want to make sure other families never have feelings of pain and loss and anguish which will last all their lives. I am embarrassed to say to my constituents that this Congress has done nothing--nothing at all--to reduce gun violence in our country.”
