Hello, all —
For the first time since the 1990s, Congress might be on track to pass legislation aimed at reducing gun violence in the United States. And it’s because folks in Washington are starting to understand that the rest of the country isn’t going to sit by and let them ignore this issue. Your voices are the reason we have a chance to win this debate. The American people expect and demand a yes or no vote.
No mention that murders are down 50% since the 1990s. The goal is to scare people into submission.
But this is a critical moment. It’s been almost four months since the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, thousands more Americans have died at the hands of gun violence, and time is on the side of those who would prefer that we do nothing.
Obama demonizing anyone who wants to see an increase in school security. The last thing he wants is safe kids which can’t be used for propaganda.
We want to make sure that your voices are impossible to ignore. So we’re asking people from all over the country to speak out online in concert — all at the same time. Will you join us?
Pledge to speak out about the need to reduce gun violence.
It’s easy to participate. Over the next few days, anyone can sign up to tweet or share a message to Facebook. Through that time, we’ll gather up as many people as we can. Then we’ll make sure that all these individual messages get posted together in the same moment for maximum effect.
That wave of social media will get seen by millions and millions of people.

So much legislation is not about making sense but making headlines … and creating the granny state.
Central control fanatics: over the years I’ve noticed that the tyrants at work are dominated at home by spouses and kids and tradespeople. And vice versa: the weak at work are dominant in their homes. Remember Napoleon was whipped by Josephine.
Perhaps what is going on is all our elected officials need to “grow a pair” in their private lives, so they can be mellow in their professional lives, and leave the rest of us alone.
Note to White House/Congress: Remember the consequences of taking on a pretended ability to control the actions of others. When you take responsibility, and then fail, lawsuits commence. You’re soon to experience the joys of paying for the criminal acts of others. Reaping what you sow.
Bring it. Millions are waiting, locked and loaded.

I note that The Broadcast Communism Campaign (aka The BBC) got in on the act to celebrate the good news –
