Political Quotes

“Yesterday, students from around the country came to Washington to ask for help. Students participating in the Children's March for Gun Control marched hand-in-hand to Capitol Hill with a simple demand: to keep them safe from guns. Members of Congress should tune out the NRA, and start listening to these children--who have to face the fear of guns everyday. The children from across the country are pleading that Congress create an environment free from fear and violence. These children are armed, not with firearms, but with letters, urging Congress to end the epidemic of gun violence that claims the lives of thousands of their peers each year. Yet, while Congress should be passing comprehensive legislation to prevent school shootings like those in Conyers, Littleton, Springfield, Edinboro, Jonesboro, West Paducah, Pearl and the many others, it cannot even muster enough votes to take UZIs and AK-47s out of the hands of 15 year olds.”
