Of course it's a way to suppress dissent and the first amendment gives Gabby Giffords, the parents of Sandy Hook, the Sikh community in Oak Creek and many, many others the right to share their views. What we can do is mobilize for the primaries and mid-term. We cannot sit it out as so many did when Walker first got elected and again when Sen Feingold was defeated.

How can they hate parents who lost their children to a psycho killer using his mother’s Bushmaster bought at a gun dealer who will sell to anyone? Have they no shame? I guess we all know the answer.<br /><br />When a Party goes out of bounds as the GOP Tea Party has done and embraces with pride, the voters will react against them. Time to throw these rascals out. This can be done. It looks like the Democrats will take a “safe” Republican Congressional seat in South Carolina because of the dastardly character of the Republican candidate. <br /><br />Across the nation Republicans will nominate radical scum for office who can be beaten even in “safe” Republican districts. The debacle of the NRA killing universal background checks should be a catalyst to win the House and hold the Senate. What can we do to make this happen?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
