Regarding the Moms Demand Action First Meeting In Normal, IL
I’m tired of the senseless killing of our school children. It baffles me that the greatest nation on the planet can’t seem to put our country’s children first. I simply can’t accept the tired phrase, “Well, there’s nothing we can do — it’s part of life.” It’s not part of life. I have two small…
