I hope it's OK to post this in the GD Forum.
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan is traveling to Kentucky Thursday to take part in a gun control rally in Louisville, Ryans congressional office announced Wednesday afternoon.
Ryan, D-13 Ohio, will join the Ohio chapter of Moms Demand Action leading a caravan to the hometown of Senate Majority Mitch McConnell.
The caravan will begin in Niles with stops in Cuyahoga Falls, Westerville, Dayton and Cincinnati before arriving for the rally at City Plaza in Louisville. There the participants will join a rally with U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth, D-3 Ky., and urge McConnell to pass comprehensive gun control legislation
Ryan, a candidate for the Democratic Partys presidential nomination, and Moms Demand Action are encouraging local officials and community members to join the caravan to the rally, which is being organized by Yarmuth.
The rally and Ryans involvement in the caravan comes as he has stepped up his attacks on President Trump in the wake of the mass shooting in Dayton early Sunday morning that left nine people dead and 37 injured, as well as the mass shooting Saturday in El Paso that took the lives of 22 people and left more than two dozen injured.
Ryans presidential campaign sent an email Wednesday that criticized President Donald Trumps visits to Dayton and El Paso. He said he stood with protestors in both cities who are holding strong for change and urged people to sign an online petition calling on McConnell to bring the Senate back into session.
Trump is incapable of showing the level of emotion that is needed to heal the country. Empty words will not stem the tide of violence ripping through our nation, Ryan said in the email. Thoughts and prayers arent going to help us. We need real change, real solutions, and real action. I want to see our president and my colleagues in Congress do something.

Stand up for his home state.
Draws national media attention.
Ryan is way too conservative for my taste. But, I gotta give him credit for this idea.
