Rep Carolyn McCarthy

[blue_heron]

on UP...really interesting personal story how she got into politics (lost a husband, and son injured, to gun violence). Nurse by training. Really well spoken to what has happened over the year and really level headed

get behind her.....she is putting gun regulation to the top of her agenda and is not afraid of the NRA...we need more in congress like her

1. Her husband and son were shot on the Long Island Railroad

coming home from work by a mentally imbalanced individual, Colin Ferguson.

I remember what grace and strength Carolyn McCarthy had in her response to her personal tragedy.

By contrast, Donald Trump sent out a press release that the shooting reminded him how fragile life was and therefore he was going to get marry the mistress who broke up his first marriage who had given birth to their illegitimate child weeks before.
