The day turned into a demonstration of russian power in syria. Theirjets were in the sk

The rally before the rally protesters are already taking to the streets. In fort lauderdale, close to the biggest Us School Shooting for some years, many spoke. But three words rang out. Chanting shame on you to every politician who is taking donations from the nra, shame on you. Next month they plan to march on washington calling for tighter gun control, they hope there will be protests in other cities on the same day. Students organising the demonstration say they want the latest attack to be a turning point. What i am looking for is reasonable change within the United States congress and bills that are passed before i get back to school because this is not the time for inaction and debate, this is the time for discussion and for all people that are americ
