They deserve a vote

[LiberalFighter]

Each of these proposals deserves a vote in Congress. If you want to vote no, that’s your choice.

But these proposals deserve a vote.

Because in the two months since Newtown, more than a thousand birthdays, graduations, and anniversaries have been stolen from our lives by a bullet from a gun."

Hadiya’s parents and others whose lives have been torn apart by gun violence "deserve a vote.
Gabby Giffords deserves a vote.
The families of Newton deserve a vote.
The families of Aurora deserve a vote.
The families of Oak Creak, and Tucson, and Blacksburg, and the countless other communities ripped open by gun violence -- they deserve a simple vote.
