1. Thanks for weighing in - from such a latter-day "ground zero."

I’m using a quote from Rep. Chellie Pingree as our “Quote of the Week” that starts every weekly Call to Action email that my Indivisible group puts together for the upcoming week.

“If it came to our state it can come anywhere. So it’s time for real change.”

She said that on Friday evening, 10-27-23, after the crisis ended with the discovery of the shooter’s dead body.

The nightmare changed the view of her Democratic colleague who had been against doing anything about assault rifles. He feels 180-degrees differently now, and said so, and apologized for his earlier wrong view. One more on the side of the Light.
