House Democrats: Want Something To Do While You're Occupying The House? Try Reading Out The Names

[TrollBuster9090]

Try reading out the names of every person who is killed by a gun while you're waiting for Ryan to allow a vote. Democrats from all over the country should email the names to them, as they appear in the newspapers, day by day.

Keep a running tally. Average gun deaths per day in the USA: 87 (31 homicides, 56 suicides).

Ryan delays vote one day: 87 more people dead
Ryan delays vote two days: 174 more people dead
Ryan delays vote three days: 261 more people dead
Ryan delays vote four days: 348 more people dead...

Starting with the names of the kids killed at Sandy Hook is fine, but thanks to the gun lobby, there is a ENDLESS SUPPLY of NEW names to read every day.

5. Great idea

One of the most powerful exhibitions of this I have seen is at a holocaust museum. A recording of the names of all killed in the concentration camps is constantly read. Unbelievably powerful.
