Children Depend on US


      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.

  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!
