My Friends, sometimes all I can do to keep from being distraught is try to make a difference in a world currently mad.

In Cleveland, TX, a family whose baby was trying to sleep asked a nextdoor neighbor to stop shooting his gun. He rejected their plea, and a soon after this vicious, evil man, Franscisco Orepeza, entered their house with an AR-15 to murder the family.

The human scum executed an 8-year-old boy. It's hard to write that and not break down. The bodies of women were found on top of 2 surviving children. They gave their lives so their kids could survive.

Honestly, what the hell kind of country are we living in??

To be clear, this daily savagery is only possible because as every blue state makes assault rifle harder to get for terrorists & criminals, GOP controlled states PURPOSELY eliminate regulations so any murderer can get any gun at any time. And block the federal government form passing desperately needed laws. 

All any of us can do is fight with all we've got to stop this sickness. Please join Blue Amp in giving Everytown--integral to our anti-gun violence sucesses--$5, $10, $25 or whatever you can, to beat Republcians and end our grisly gun plague.

I thank you all for fighting this fight, so someday soon we won't have to live like this.

Cliff

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
