A child is drowning. Her mother kneels at the edge of the pool and begins to pray for her safety. Passers-by gather. They offer thoughts and prayers. No one attempts to save the child.
Watch the video if you can:
Those 60-seconds, of almost unendurable frustration as a viewer, were brought to you by Mothers For Democracy and Mothers Against Greg Abbott PAC on the eleventh anniversary of the Sandy Hook school shooting.
“Thoughts and Prayers remind us that without action we will never address the biggest issue of our time. The number one killer of children is not drowning, cancer, or car wrecks. It is guns. And we have waited years for our politicians and leaders to act, but they continue to do nothing! In some cases it has been even worse – they block those who would act at the most basic level. This CANNOT continue,” Mothers for Democracy stated in the campaign blog.
The cam;paign asks everyday people to raise their voice and say, “We Demand Gun Reform NOW!”
