My reply from First Lady Jill Biden

About a month ago, sheshe posted an idea that addressed the mass shootings and I took her up on it. I wrote a letter suggesting photos with the names of victims placed on the Capital steps so when the legislatures went to work, they’d have to pass by them. I wrote to Ms Biden because she has the resources and organizational skills most of us don’t have. Here is her reply..
“Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with me. The President is working to improve the lives of all Americans. With your help-and with love, understanding, bravery, and small acts of kindness-we will do it together.” Sincerely, Jill Biden.
A form letter but a reply and who knows, just maybe…
On a personal note, I’d like to apologize for not copying this for you..I’m not clever enough to post all the pictures and articles I’d like to share at times so thanks for your understanding. 🙏 sheshe

Michelle Obama was on Jimmy Fallon tonight..anyone watch ?

She has a new book out and I could not take my eyes off her. She seems to be more beautiful every time I see her..both on the inside and out. She’s always positive and has funny little bits of news about her family. Absolutely delightful 🤗

Time to get organized. Just this year, as of March, the gun violence archive has counted 130

Mass shootings. Nashville, Memphis, Mississippi, Michigan, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Half Moon Bay, Monterey Park, Goshen, Enoch, Utah. Last year, 2022 there was 647 mass shootings and before that, Sandy Hook, and the list goes on. All these places are trying their best to protest, write letters and implore their elected to do something. Time to get organized. Gabby Gifford’s has a great foundation going as does Brady gun campaigns but if there was one tent for all to gather and put their efforts together, maybe they could become a real force. There are experienced organizers that could teach the many who are protesting but don’t have a central leader. There are many from Parkland doing a great job..David Hogg is active, rep Maxwell Ford could be a resource. There’s power in numbers and if the people knew how to Chanel that power, I’m thinking it could be a real force to make real change…I’m just thinking here…
