WELCOME! Good to have you here.


You have power. Use it wisely. Make it matter.

At Lucy Left you're encouraged to leave comments, keeping this request in mind: Say what you mean and mean what you say, just don't say it mean. Lucy's not a fan of vitriol. This is a place to find information and opinion, a place to have a laugh now and then and to feel less alone in the political madness.

Be well, speak up for what is right and true (even if your voice shakes), and come back soon!

South Carolina Ranks #1


Thanks to Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense - South Carolina for posting this on Facebook.  South Carolina is #1 again in something we cannot feel good about.  BUT you might feel better when you contact Moms Demand Action and get involved.  If you're in South Carolina, Erin Dando will tell you how you can help!

 

“Nine women each week are shot to death by their husband or intimate partner,” said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. “That's nearly 500 domestic gun violence deaths each year — more than twice the number of servicewomen killed in military conflicts since the Korean War. We urgently need better policies that protect women and their families from this senseless violence. No American, adult or child, should live in a perpetual state of fear. It’s inhumane.”   I would add that these kinds of data from other countries usually has us scratching our heads and callling them "uncivilized."  Well...?
