serving as an elected representative take note. Be you a city, county, state, or federal elected official and you are not actively working on behalf of your constituents to stop, prevent and end mass shootings in schools, shopping malls, on the streets or your church, temple or mosque or the local Waffle House, movie theatre or rock concert then you are actively supporting the next shooter and his agenda. YOU are as much the problem as the the shooter. YOU can take action through your vote to stop the slaughter of children.

Do not claim pro life status if all you really are is pro birth. If you are pro life that,by definition, means after the child is born TOO. The country needs to end this lunacy and you, our elected representatives, are the process by which problems that individuals can’t or shouldn’t solve on their own are delegated, assembled and charged with identifying, discussing and resolving in the interests of all. You are not there to kowtow to any special interest or foreign influence in furtherance of your own personal gain. Public service is a calling, not a step on a cash enhancing wish fulfillment.
