I'm without words for the families and children. God bless you all.
Living in Arizona, I can't just stand by on this any more. I've always been worried about lack of real protection for our children. It's unacceptable and I have sent the following to Senators here. You are free to copy and use for Senators in your state.
It's time to get real about our schools, the most important locations for us to defend.
"Dear Senator,
I write you as news of the CT shooting has occured. I am the parent of a Kindergardener, and I am distraught over this event. I hugged my little girl tighter today than I think I ever have.
I was born in Arizona and have lived here my whole life. I feel my duty to express that safety is my first priority when I send my child to her school. They do have a lock down proceedure, but no proactive defense. I'm tired of seeing these types of events happen in gun free zones that a homicidal animal decided to ignore.
I feel it is the time to legislate that any school that would like to operate in Arizona be required to have an armed Police Officer or armed Security Guard. If I trust my school to provide education to my child, I don't think it's a stretch to expect them to provide real protection for them as well. Locked doors are no longer enough. With the events that just occured, I don't see how this would not be the wish of every parent and voter in Arizona.
I appreciate your time, and please contact me. Thank you."
**Any one with additional ideas please give them, I want to do anything to propose real measures in taking this issue on***
