As long as we have leaders who incite, commit and instigate violence against others (as well as pardon those who commit it) our nation’s most disturbed citizens will increasingly follow suit.

Until leaders choose to extinguish their disturbing behavior, words and actions, and begin to lead with dignity, honor, steadiness, and compassion, the violence will continue.

There are solutions, preventions and resources to support and help communities with the pervasive sickness spreading in our society, right at our fingertips.

All it takes is reasonable leaders uniting to take reasonable action.

It’s really up to us. We decide what kind of world we want every time we vote.
