Moms Rising

Mothers are a powerful force.  Do you remember when driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs was the norm in this country?  I do!  Huge numbers of senseless deaths as a result of DUI.  Then along came Mothers Against Drunk Driving and things haven't been the same since.   These mothers and their coalitions challenged the status quo, aggravated hell out of legislators and staff in state after state until they were heard and their mission was accomplished.  I've seen grown men, elected members of the Senate and House, hide rather than face these women.  As I said, the Mad Mothers could be annoyingly persistent.  Some of them were downright pushy.  And you know what?  Bless their hearts, they got it done!  Made it unacceptable, then made it illegal, then changed our culture.  Thank you again for your incredible service to our Country,  M.A.D.D.

Imagine what could happen if mothers were to unite like that again, this time around common-sense gun safety laws.   Take all the time you need to visualize the energy and power such a coalition would bring to the firearms issue.  See it, see it.   Meanwhile, here's the link to a petition for the NRA:
