Completely sickened, but sadly not surprised, to hear of another mass shooting in the U.S. today. I am thinking about the scientific method right now, and wondering-- if thoughts, prayers, and complete legislative inaction seem to be yielding nothing but greater and greater tragedy, then why not f*ing try to enact stricter gun laws? What will it take to get our governmental bodies to open their lock-tight minds to listen to the majority of Americans instead of the NRA? If you're in the mood to tell your reps how you feel about their inaction regarding gun control legislation, then feel free to download a pdf of this postcard and print from your home printer. It's often said that our reps DO listen to their constituents, although that's starting to sound like some whimsical folklore, given their inaction on the topic to date. Looking forward to midterms in Michigan!
