Up until recently, only a handful of depraved Americans would have ever
argued that an individual's right to own anything was more sacred than the right
to life itself - especially that of our children.
Our Constitution features: "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness."
These were considered unalienable rights to be given by God and protected
by our new government. The second amendment was an add-on, just like the
other twenty-six. It was never meant to be a guiding principle for our country
or the foundation for a twenty billion dollar gun industry.
Custom coffins for children by Trey Ganem
Throughout our history, there have always been those who have looked the
other way or even rationalized the suffering of groups of people different
than themselves. However, when any agenda becomes more important than
our most basic instinct to protect young children, we've crossed a pathetic
threshold. When our most precious citizens are massacred and the best our
elected leaders can do is political posturing, we're witnessing the demise of
our society. Mowing down young kids is only the tip of the iceberg, but if
that preventable horror can't stir us to action, what can?
Our survival demands genuine leaders who are more concerned with the safety
and welfare of all Americans, than with stirring up their base to get more votes
and power. And lest we not see it, guns are all about power, especially to those
who feel powerless. No single leader can fix very complex societal problems
on their own. However, a true servant of the people would be reaching across
any aisle to develop policies that would decrease this plague of violence. We
need servants of the people, not disciples of the gun lobby and the NRA.
Please elect leaders who prioritize the welfare of our children.
They Depend on US!
