    My heart breaks as Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School of Parkland, FL faces the unthinkable horror of gun violence – the 18th school shooting of 2018. When will Congress wake up? Enough is enough.

        Haunting, harrowing images from Parkland provoke an all too familiar stomach-churning feeling – a gut punch – as our national epidemic infects yet another school.

        Gun violence spares no communities. Its lethal toll often goes unpublicized. As America watches in horror, Congress can’t stand idly by. We must confront this scourge with urgent action.

        You are in Congress. I know your party is not in control..however, Dems are not pushing republicans hard enough..on Russian sanctions, protecting our elections, and yes gun control. Must hold their feet to the fire everyday, all day. Scream, shout, never a minutes rest.

        Cindy and Patricia, the solution is to make sure we all vote in November to put Democrats in control of both chambers of Congress.

        Senator, show photos on the floor of children killed by gunshot wounds to the head, how my friend Owen died in 2000, and hold your fellows accountable.
