The ugliest truth about the United States is that 44 people are murdered in our country every single day. 11,208 last year to gun violence

An American is murdered every 32 minutes. Not car accidents or deaths, but violent murder. A nation born, bred, and grown on violence.

Children gunned down in schools, churches shot up, & now executions on live television. How much is too much for gun supporters? #WDBJ

I'm a lifelong Texan, so I'm not gonna mince words here. This violent GOP opposition to immigration reform is all about anti-Mexican racism.
