Somehow they ended up in my tweet stream today. And yes, I am totally cutting onions here! Please give them a follow and/or a retweet (and a call to your Republican Senators).

And, I hate the Republicans for making this necessary. Why should these children need to lobby to protect their health care? Why? The Republicans are repugnant, money-grubbing soulless boot lickers of the 1%. (I sound just like the crazy RW Twitter users now, only on the other side. Ugh.)

because most of these legislators are so isolated from the populace that they prob'ly don't even know kids like this exist.

Sweet pictures, every one of them, but my personal fave is the third one down of the little girl wandering the hall, by herself, other than for the photographer.

The binder in this first photograph was an important contribution, as many of the senators or reps did not get to see the children.
