So this idea came to me today

As I drove into town I saw American flags, some on private property, some on businesses and some on government buildings. I noticed that some were at half staff and some were not. So, this is my proposal. I think all US flags should be at half staff until we fix a few problems. They should be in memory of those who die and in SHAME that we have a Congress that does not seem to care that people die.

I see people who think all guns should be banned....that is never going to happen. I just want some control, some meaningful rules, some punishment for those who use them in hate and bigotry and certain punishment for those in government and politics (cause Carly Fiorina should NEVER be in government) who promote hatred and violence.

That is just my thought for today.
