It's their future...and the young are leading! It is time we followed their lead. Thoughts and prayers have not led to thoughtful action. It's way past time to see some action toward reducing gun violence and improving our safety by addressing the easy availability of guns, improving background checks, more careful monitoring, and the banning of military style weapons for civilian use! Today, we heard compelling arguments from young people at the Tuesdays with(out) Toomey

A Tuesdays with Toomey crowd in Harrisburg gave a stand-in Senator Toomey a piece of their mind today with signs, chants, and tough questions. On behalf of the ever-absent Senator, a good natured Toomey stand-in took questions, answering with predictable Republican talking points to the boos and jeers of a crowd wanting real answers! Speakers impressed upon those present, the importance of not declaring a premature victory in quashing the destructive Graham-Cassidy bill, bu
