Who wins the world? MOMS!!

Pardon the lack of communications. I've been a tad busy. I actually meant to post several times but the words were...gone. Where to start.

I have hidden behind the keyboard far too long. I've let myself get wrapped up in my own disease until it's left me strangled. No more.

I spent the last weekend with 200 moms & dad's from all over the country. I'm the Communications Lead/Advocacy Interim for the OK chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. I listened to brave survivors tell their stories. I met women who'd lost their children....their babies for Gods sake... Whether it was gun violence or a car crash, the fact remained, they'd lost their babies. I have mine. Both of them. Three are in Gods arms after miscarriages etc...but I have my babies. I'm a survivor though, & that created a bond, made me part of a family no one wants to be a part of.

We lose 33 people a day to gun violence. 8 of those are kids. With statistics like these, how can we NOT act??? Were it a disease, we would be all up in the CDC's ass to find a cure, a vaccine. But we're talking bullets, not cells & bacteria. And along with fossil fuels, America is drunk on it's almost pornographic adoration of guns & the NRA. People see this as a black & white issue, it's not. Unless you've been convicted of a violent crime, we don't want your guns. We want enforcement of laws, expanded background checks, & an end to private sales & the gun show loopholes. For the average Joe, that means maybe an extra form to fill out. Is it so hard to do that or do you want the blood of more children on YOUR hands?

We are serious. Times up. For 30 years the leadership of the NRA has turned this issue into a disaster that keeps replaying in thousands of homes a year. It's time to let Moms fix this issue. I encourage you to find your local chapter, go to the moms website or Everytown site & get involved!!!
