CALL YOUR SENATORS RIGHT FUCKING NOW! [View all]

Last edited Tue Apr 14, 2015, 03:16 PM - Edit history (1)

I hope I got that right.

I am calling my Senators and Representative every day until something is done about the militarization of police. I will start emailing them tomorrow, and every day after.

I think we all should. This insanity needs to stop. Though it is only part of the problem, it's a big part of the problem.

Thank you
