At least 4,000 people registered to vote on Saturday at "March for Our Lives" protests across the United States, Reuters reports.
According to Reuters, at least 4,000 people had registered to vote by 8:30 p.m., with the number of those who signed up growing as more cities concluded their sister marches and reported registration totals.
Survivors of the deadly shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., have made voter turnout a primary focus of their calls to action.
"March for Our Lives" rallies across the country aimed to honor the memory of the 17 people who were killed in last month's shooting and show lawmakers the widespread support for gun control. Many speakers called on people to vote in their local and national elections to support candidates who will address gun violence.
My guess is that this 4,000 number is only the very beginning.
This is why these marches have panicked the conservatives so much.
It is not only that it is dramatically changing the gun law debate, it is that they are also recruiting new voters for the 2018/2020 elections.
And how many of these new voters do we really think are planning to vote Republican?
To douchebags saying kids are bad for trying to bring about some sort of needed change, you are worse than people who give strangers another woman's ultrasound images.
ReplyDeleteTrue story though. My mother in law definitely gave a very very casual acquaintance, who she's known for literally 1 month, a copy of my ultrasound images.
That is worse than announcing another person's pregnancy. If you've don't either, you're a sociopathic narcissist.
I don't get the point of this story. Did you just want to rant about your Mother in Law?

"Valoree Swanson, who represents Texas’ 150th district in the Texas House of Representatives, shared a Facebook meme originally posted to the “Ted Cruz Meme Page,” which showed a photo from a March 13 protest in front of the U.S. Capitol. That protest featured 7,000 pairs of shoes meant to symbolize the number of children who have died from gun violence since the Sandy Hook massacre.
The photo was captioned with, “shoes left by gun control supporters, 2018.” "A second photo featured a pile of shoes from a concentration camp during the Holocaust, captioned with, “shoes left by victims of gun control, 1945.”
As the Dallas News reports, both photos were accompanied with the quote, “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”WW2>“not only stupid,” but also an insult to “the severity of the Holocaust.”"

ReplyDelete"Faked images showing the Parkland school shooting survivor Emma Gonzalez tearing up the US constitution have emerged on social media.
The images were doctored from a photo shoot the 18-year-old did showing her tearing up a shooting target as part of her gun control campaign.
The incident is not the first time survivors of the mass shooting, who have since become prominent campaigners for gun control, have been targets of fake news and it has led to calls for Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to take action."
So nothing is changing on Twitter or Facebook. There is still a shitstorm of "fake news" being generated and the gullible are swallowing the swill whole.
First they laugh at you.
DeleteThen they mock you.
Then they attack you.
Then you win.
Love this movement! We may finally get our government straightened around in a way that is beneficial to all Americans!
ReplyDeletePlus, being w/o Trump at the head would be and will be wonderful!
We gotta get the fake news to stop. It is the fuel and root of problems today and why we are dealing with trump.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a bunch of young brainwashed communists.
ReplyDeleteAnother failed Russian spy. Poor communist have no voice or country.
DeleteThe Dems have to indoctrinate them young, before they start working and realize they can take care of themselves. Then they realize while they work hard, others skate by on the system on other peoples money... then they realize they are conservative.
DeleteIvan! Are you lunching with Sergei today?
Delete6:25 HAS to be a foreign troll because English for damn sure isn't its first language!
DeleteDon't care who they vote for as long as they register and exercise their right to. It's our most basic right and I'd never tell anyone how to vote, but voting, dammit, it's really important.
ReplyDeleteThese kids have warned the politicians and they were dismissed.
ReplyDeleteI called it. This isn't just about them, personally, voting. They're registering people. As many as they can. They will be canvasing neighborhoods. First the registration drive, then the campaigning for candidates that are not in the pockets of the NRA. They will work to get their candidates elected. They'll continue to do so until there is enough of a changeover that they will succeed with their agenda. Reforming gun regulations.
(That isn't "infringement" you trolling NRA asshole.)
If you thought Obama energized the youth vote just wait until 2018 and 2020. While not all of those that are being registered are Democrats and not all of them will the for gun safety regulations, a great deal of them will be voting.
The Republicans should be scared shitless.
So we have another ted potty pants. Hughes of death of metal band offered some negative on the kids march for life. What a scumbag pos. He must be paid way too much for that noisy crap.
ReplyDeleteI still can't get over the amazing speech by the eloquent 11-year old young/old soul, Naomi Wadler! She is a year YOUNGER than Barron Trump!!
ReplyDeleteThere may be a secret reason why they shelter Barron. I saw an old film the other day. It was the Kennedy kids when young. They were speaking in public, when very young.Charming, funny and smart.
DeleteMay they be prepping Barron this school year and he will be ready for the Easter Egg Hunt to say a little something.
Mc$HAME brought this on USa>
