What a shameful day in America. Â Today we saw a disgraceful display of cowardice by our US Senators. Â Here are the office phone numbers of the Senators who voted no on background checks. Â This is a big blow to our freedom, to our public welfare, and to America. Â Give them a call, and tell them we will not give up, we demand change, we will not forget this vote and their days in the Senate are numbered. Â You will enjoy this.

As someone who understands that gun control is a failed religion of fear and ignorance, and who actually cares about the thousands of people of all ages who aren’t raped and aren’t killed each year because of the freedoms that these Senators stood up for in the face of the mindless onslaught of the hordes of people like you who choose to be ruled by their emotions rather than facts, science and a connection to reality, I want to thank you.
Because, I know to you, this looks like someone righteously defending their cause. But, to all the people outside your movement — even many who support it in principle — it looks like a bitter, hateful, spiteful person taking out her self-righteous sense of superiority on some poor intern.
Really, there is little more that those who support gun rights can ask of you than to keep on doing what you do.
I will also say, God bless, and I hope the best for you and yours. I say this because every time I engage with someone of your ilk, they almost always have this strange, bloodthirsty habit of wishing harm on myself and innocent people I know. So, I’m trying to fight back against your hatred with a little love.
Thx Heather. Don’t forget the ones who voted no on Feinstein’s assault weapons ban amendment. My NM Senators made that list unfortunately. BTW, I thought Blumenthal made an excellent statement before his and Lautenberg’s amendment.

**“I believe that Dr. King would admit today that, if we think non-violence isn’t working, it’s like pouring a bucket of water on a burning house. If a bucket of water doesn’t put out a burning house, it doesn’t mean that water doesn’t put out fire. It simply means that we need more water.”* Dr. Dorothy Cotton, colleague of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
We need direct action which you, courageously, have been engaging in now for a while. While I never would or could advocate for violence, I think the following video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCb2Le3wtIk, makes the point well that “biting satire” (today’s Twitter and Facebook posts) is often not enough in the face of a tough adversary. Sometimes you have to take a stand in person and directly. Thank you Heather for doing just that.
Thanks for posting these. Cowards, one and all.
Thank you Heather! DISGUSTING.
