‘They deserve a vote’

Posted by AzBlueMeanie:

Each of these proposals deserves a vote in Congress. If you want to vote
no, that’s your choice. But these proposals deserve a vote. Because in
the two months since Newtown, more than a thousand birthdays,
graduations, and anniversaries have been stolen from our lives by a
bullet from a gun.

Gabby Giffords deserves a vote.

The families of Newtown deserve a vote.

The families of Aurora deserve a vote.

The
families of Oak Creek, and Tucson, and Blacksburg, and the countless
other communities ripped open by gun violence – they deserve a simple
vote
.”

— President Obama, State of the Union Address

In case you missed 60 Minutes last night, there was an extended interview with the parents of the children massacred at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Newtown families voice support for gun control.

The village idiot Aqua Buddha, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), and his 12 Disciples threatening to filibuster any and all gun safety bills should be locked in a room with these grieving families and have to answer to them.

If these parents are willing to authorize it, the crime scene photographs should be released and every member of Congress should be forced to view the crime scene photographs. Look at the horrific carnage of these slaughtered young innocents, and then tell these parents that you will do nothing senators. Have you no conscience? Have you no soul?
