  • Students: Know Your Rights When Demonstrating




  • US Citizens Demand Common Sense Gun Laws

    Gun Control
    You must VOTE OUT those who are controlled by MONEY rather than Common Sense

    Beginning with:

    • We need to ban automatic weapons. Raising the age isn’t good enough.
    • We need to ban bump stocks and similar accessories.
    • We need to pass universal background checks and close the gun show loophole.
    • We need to make sure those with a history of violent crimes cannot get their hands on a gun.

    This DOES NOT interfere with any law abiding sane citizens’ Second Amendment rights.

    A 1940’s Dr. Seuss political cartoon criticized Americans for not caring about the deaths of foreign children. [1]

    It sounds like history is repeating itself with our current administration and their attitude toward DACA, the Dreamers.  Notice the words on the lady’s sweater.

    One prominent rumor accurately held that Anne Frank was one of many Jewish children denied entry to the United States in the early stages of World War II, and as a result she (like others) died in the Holocaust. [1]

  • Most Americans Don’t Want the Wall

    Brick Wall - Border WallCan you imagine what 80 billion dollars can do to provide infrastructure for the United States, improve electronic surveillance of our borders, hire additional manpower for security, etc.

    Of course, Mexico WILL NOT pay for it.  Don’t fool yourself.

    People who leave near the border don’t want it. [1]
