If you live in Florida, register and vote on November 8: you can call to account Senator Marco Rubio who has opposed every reasonable provision of gun safety over the past 16 years. TV’s all-too-familiar “I’m always ready to say something” Senator has dipped his toes and tested the waters out of state in Presidential primaries more than he’s cared about the homefolks. The election is between a good cop, the former police chief of Disney World’s Orlando, versus a career politician who doesn't show up for work. Senator Rubio opposed, along with a dozen other blind-eye votes, the kind of anti-automatic gun magazine laws that the Stoneman Douglas killer used for his Saint Valentine’s Day massacre.
Gun manufacturers and
marketers, and their lobbyists, have a lock on the votes and power of nearly 40
U.S. Senators in Washington. The do-nothing attitudes of the gun lobby have
resulted in one thing: more dead children.
But our U.S.
Constitution requires, every two years, one-third of the 100 U.S. Senators
to stand for re-election. One-third - that’s 33 Senators who have blocked
every reasonable and legal way to keep guns out of the hands of killers. The
reason the Constitution requires that is to give voters a voice – a voice to
evaluate and comment on their senators’ work over the six years of their
senatorial terms.
Don't stand on the
sidelines November 8. Take a stand for the lives of our school children
and vote against Senator Marco Rubio. Tell your friends, too.
