The public is frustrated about daily gun violence. Families grieve over their loved ones, but this has no effect on our legislative chambers. The right for the poorest and weakest to live in a secure and healthy environment is often ignored by our representatives. Our tax dollars are often spent in providing adequate safety to rich and powerful politicians. We don’t pay sufficient attention to ordinary citizens. 

I would like our tax dollars to be used to reduce crime and violence at home. Let us hear the broken voices in our own country. Citizens of the U.S. should not have to live in fear and insecurity. 

I am urging lawmakers to bring peace and harmony to our country by spending more money on police training and gun control. Let us learn to respect the lives of all of our people.
