On Days Like This….

On days like this… politics has no business.  

Can’t we all just stop feuding, stop talking about legislation, stop the arguments… 

Because the “if not now, when…” speech is not something I’m prepared to listen to TODAY.  

Today is not the day.  There will be time in the coming weeks and months.  

Today, fathers and mothers will not be returning home, and children will not open the presents that are probably already either waiting under the tree or waiting in a closet to be wrapped.  Stockings that were hung on the mantle will go empty… 

….Today is not the day to talk about Fox News or gun control… 

Today is for the people who lost loved ones…. just not, today… I promise you can get back to verbally sniping at each other tomorrow… 

Just, today… give them today.  And think about the children in your life and how you would feel, if they were to suddenly die due to violence… and whether you would want them politicized when their bodies were still warm.

First Book wants to give away 1 MILLION BOOKS TO KIDS IN NEED OVER THE NEXT 10 DAYS. Here’s the catch: We want the world to know about the issue of illiteracy and how they can help us fight it. In support of our effort, we will give away a book for every “re-blog”, “retweet”, and “share” we get of  this message on twitter, tumblr and facebook. Get to sharing. 

A worthy cause to share!  Please consider helping out!
