We went down to our local march. Just to cold and nasty for us old timers and Grandsons, being it was sleeting and in the thirties. So left and spent the rest of the morning with the Grandsons shopping. Just return home and going to watch it now on TV.

It must be having some impact because the Dotard's staff weighed in:

“We applaud the many courageous young Americans exercising their First Amendment rights today,” White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said in the statement, in which she added that “keeping our children safe is a top priority of the President’s.”

Get up! Stand up!

Get up, stand up, young America and fight for your right of being alive!

I've just seen very moving pictures on tv, I hope so much that this is the beginnig of the end of Gun madness! I am so glad, even happy to see these people marching on the streets of America and everywhere in the world!

Their message is very simple and yet powerful.



And they have a list of members of Congress who are beholden to the NRA by taking campaign contributions and they risk getting voted out this midterm.

We are supporting and participating locally.

The NRA's despicable response - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.1d434c23f2ab

Talk about missing the point, these kids aren't about personal fame.
