So....

As I look through the other threads on this site and others, the term (and similar) "hope and pray that" keeps appearing.  Suggesting that we just sit and wait for what will happen.

If you have not taken action to contact at least your state politicians, then be ready to accept what ever happens.  People need to know who they represent and be prepared to represent. 

Lots of opinion and soapbox correction, but what are you willing to do to prevent the possible?

I am not sure if you are asking me directly.  I did post "hope and pray" in another post.

I am in the process of signing petitions as well as writing different senators & representatives.

I will probably write a few other people as well.

How about you?

I have been writing a lot to our representatives.  I actually have received letters back via the US Mail.  For me, its a good start.  Please let me know if there are other things I can get invovled with.

I think the real question we need to ask  (some of) our representatives:  Why do you feel it is so important for the citizens to be disarmed?
