FIRST, A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT:

There have to be enough of us who are sick to death with the NRA’s hold on our entire political system. My question is this: What can we do, NOW, to protest in such a way that everyone takes notice? Think outside the box.

This is not happening ‘out there’ at schools in Texas, Connecticut, and Florida, at concert venues in Nevada, at grocery stores New York and Colorado…
