These Young Adults From The Parkland School Stared Death In The Eyes....

they lived through the horror. The lost classmates, friends and teachers. As they evacuated the school they saw fellow students - dead - lying in pools of blood. They will be scarred for life. It is no wonder that they have gotten so vocal about gun reform and the NRA. They speak for themselves and those that died in this horror. They also speak for the children that died those that lived through the same horror at Sandy Hook - who were too young to speak out like these young adults at Parkland.

My only hope is that these students from this Parkland school will mobilize high school students all around the country and be relentless with their messaging to the Repugs that take money from the NRA and the NRA itself. Let them communicate to the American People that the NRA is essentially a terrorist organization. I hope they shame all the politicians that are in the pocket of the NRA and if they get no support from them to stop - that they work to remove them from office. Let these young adults from Parkland send a message that is stronger than the hold that the NRA has over these money grubbing politicians.

I support these young adults. They are smart and eloquent. They are social media savvy. Let's hope they use social media as effectively as the Russians did.
