RootsAction national director Norman Solomon has published an open letter to President Joe Biden that begins: You’ve often spoken of how much you care about children and how terrible it is when they’re murdered. “Too many schools, too many everyday places have become killing fields,” you said at the White House last spring on the one-year anniversary of the school shooting in Uvalde. At the time of that tragedy in Texas, you had quickly gone on live television, speaking gravely. . . . And you asked plaintively: “Why are we willing to live with this carnage? Why do we keep letting this happen? Where in God’s name is our backbone to have the courage to deal with it and stand up to the lobbies?” And where is it now, Norman asks the President, when it comes to the mass killing of children in Gaza with the support of the U.S. government? Click here to send an email to the White House and to Congress that just might help snap some people out of the apparent moral coma they've entered. |
