It is America as I know it today!

I’m living in a waking nightmare. There was never a time when, looking at America from the outside, I believed children were not the most important part of American life.

The right wing of the government would rather have your innocent child murdered than tighten gun laws or do away with military weapons in the hands of civilians.

This is America today!

We don’t give a fuck about our children in this country. Please spare me an argument. “It’s not guns that kill, its people that kill.”

We cannot even admit that it's people with guns that kill.

The shout goes up, let the government take one weapon; they’ll take them all.

When do we become brave enough, angry enough, to do what is right? No one wants to take away a culture; we want to remove weapons capable of killing fifty people in fifty seconds!

America is failing its children. They happen to be OUR children.

We bring children into the world as vessels to display our love, so why on earth, people, do we not protect them by forcing the government we elect to take more forceful action?
