If you are one of the people who was horrified by the recent tragedy of the Parkland, Florida school shooting and you wish to do something to enact changes in gun legislation, there is one crucial action or actions you should take: if you are not registered to vote, register immediately, and then vote.
There is no excuse for not voting–none. And if you want to enact gun control legislation, then do your research and find out where the candidates stand. The population of the United States consistently polls that it wants gun control, so act on your convictions.
Voting is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, tools in our democracy, and I hope the young people who are leading this fight also register to vote when they are 18 and then vote. If we, who want gun control legislation, do vote, then our voices will be heard, and the narrow special interest that is the NRA will have its influence nullified.
Be sure to vote!
Shouldn’t you all just ban guns?

Now that would work, but it will not happen, so gun control must!

REGISTER!!!!!
Really, if you are eligible to vote and haven’t registered, you don’t have any business complaining about what our government is doing. Go out and register now. It’s easy.

I support your campaign. For centuries the common person did not have the luxury of voting so how could you not vote now that you can. Let your voice be heard.

Thank you Charles. This Is our only hope of changing the status quo. Our Young people are of age or soon will be and it’s so important they make their voices heard through the ballot.

I could not be more proud! They are outstanding, so mature, their actions make me ashamed of some of our older generations and that includes my own.

Voting may or may not make a difference…but NOT voting creates dictators and despots. What a difference that is!
