SIT-IN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

ANSWER THE CALL - SHAME 

This is historic. A sit-in in the House of Representatives over Gun Control. The Democrats are quoting the Bible. They are attempting to use Shame to pass a law on Backround Checks. Republicans are absent. Clearly the NRA is painfully powerful. The sit -in was initiated by Congressman John Lewis, Democrat who crossed the bridge in Selma, Al. It is so surreal. What's amazing to me is the powerful impact women in the House who come to the microphone are having. Many of them are talking about their personal experience of losing a child who was killed by a gun. It is horrible. They come across as incredibly authentic. Not corporate. To be fair, male Representatives are speaking also and some are effective. When women speak about losing children it is very powerful.

"Let's do the job America elected us to do. "  Wow !
When it's coming from the floor of the House, it's quite incredible. It's gone from Stephen Colbert to 'Reality.' (?)

Look at all the women at the sit-in ! There's Elizabeth Warren, my hero....

 This is political theater at it's finest. June 22, 2016, days after the full moon + the summer equinox, elected officials in the House of Representatives are actually doing their job. I can't believe they're not on summer vacation. I never thought I would see anything like this. Look at all the women, there's Sen. Elizabeth Warren sitting next to Rep. John Lewis.

NO FLY NO BUY
If you are on the terrorist watchlist you cannot buy a gun. The Republicans refuse to vote on that issue ! It is refreshing/heartening to see some of our fearless leaders try to enact this commonsense policy. And it is frightening to see how powerful the NRA is. Capitalism Run Amok.
