    Whitehouse Petition Asking for Congress to Address the Issue of Gun Control

    Here is the petition to Whitehouse.gov that went up on the site yesterday. 

    I was not able to get on the site because it crashed before I laid down for bed.  I gave up sleeping and tried again.  Just be patient with the site because there is a steady flow of signatures even at 3 am in the morning.  I was the 64,545 person to sign. It will be up until Jan. 13 and only needed 25,000 signatures to be reviewed.  I am sure they had that by early evening last night.  Millions of signatures will help get the new Congress's attention. My letters will be on their way on Monday to a couple of Senators and my House Reps here in Florida.  We do have several good ones and some new ones I plan to pester here in Florida.

    Just a bit of interesting news.  PPP poll this month in Kentucky showed Majority Leader McConnell at only 37% approval.  That makes this a good time to push on the issue of restoring the Brady Bill. The GOP is in decline with it's far right base.
