Give a shout-out to your Senator/Representative who is part of the 'sit-in'

Turns out not only did Delaware's loan representative John Carney join the sit-in but so did our senator Chris Coons! Not sure what happened to Carper, who also believes in gun control (but his health seems to be fading).

But to both John Carney and Chris Coons for making Delaware an awesome state! Carney will probably be our next governor so let's hope the next person elected as our Representative will help fight for gun control!

But I did see two Pennsylvania democrats speak, Mike Doyle and Matt Cartwright. I tweeted a thank you to both of them.

Did anyone see Senator Bob Casey there?

All of Texas's Democratic Congresspersons were there.

Mine of course was on her way home for break and her mailbox was full
