From our friendly gun shot survivor, former congresswoman, Gabby Giffords...
"A decade ago, it would’ve been nearly impossible to imagine this kind of victory. For decades, the NRA had an iron grip on our politics and avoided accountability.
But thanks to our movement and our tireless organizing, we’ve toppled the NRA from their seat of power. They are a shell of the organization they once were, entrenched in scandal and extremism.
And this is just the beginning. Legislative victories like the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act marked a turning point for our movement to save lives, proving that we can end the NRA’s toxic grip on Congress.
But we cannot get complacent. The NRA still has millions of members and tens of millions of dollars. They are still fighting in the courts and at the state level to overturn our progress — including overturning the Republican-backed legislation that was passed after Parkland."
I just early voted in our local primary last week. Those judges are important seats in carrying forward ethical justice.
Gabby is one of my favorite people. It is a shame we can not vote for the Supreme Court judges! Take care, have a great day and happy week ahead.
