Thank you Ms. McMorrow. Much respect and appreciation for you speaking out. Just wish more legislators would do the same. Vote vote vote, say it loud.

[DulceN]

Beautifully said, Senator. We need many more like you in government, everywhere.

Ms Mallory McMorrow. Do not be afraid, do not allow them to silence you. You are not alone. I, and millions of people all around the World are with you, and the likes of you. Thank you so much for what you are doing for Humanity and Decency. You have my utmost Respect 🙏

Thank you, Mallory McMorrow, for having a backbone! And for standing up to the GOP. The Democrats in Congress could take a lesson from you. That's why we voted you people in, to represent us. Please keep doing so!

[simonfairall]

I love this woman’s ethics, attitude and determination. Mallory McMorrow keeps doing what is right, no matter the obstacles.

[juanitaross]

The people in every state also need to call their congressmen and women. Tell them we are demanding they ban all military assault weapons and do a buyback program.
Pass the red flag laws
Pass the universal background checks.
No open carry without license and training.
No more fake thoughts and prayers.
Thoughts and prayers are not actions , it is a excuse to do nothing.

[dorothybarron]

When we distance ourselves from others' pain, isn't it always about protecting ourselves, but we fool ourselves into thinking it's being "respectful."

[renitaperry]

We do have the power she's so right. Powerful lady 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 waves for better days 💯💯💯💯💯👌🏾

Watching this play out in a country that claims to be civilized is astounding.

[gulliblegreedyignorantindi]

PLEASE RAISE UP THIS WOMAN !
Mallory Mcmorrow is the intelligent, compassionate, accountable, inspiring and brilliant light that can move America out of this insanity! ! !

[carstennielsen]

It is NOT about mental health.
In Europe they have mental health issues but almost no mass shootings.
So if it is about mental health, it MUST be about the mental health of the lawmakers.

[egonanderson]

Michigan senators better look out this gal is everything most politicians are not...proud of you

[veradouglass]

Sen McMorrow, Thank you for Speaking Out!! There is Hope.

[paulinereid]

What a lovely young woman - intelligent, articulate, humane - all the things the Republican law-makers simply neither know about, not do they want to know. The ignorant callousness of those GOP people is breathtaking. The mouthing of the hypocritical platitudes of 'thoughts and prayers', are a disgusting con

[jackscarecrow]

as a human and father of a 10 year old girl this shooting makes me feel physically sick. it's time to change america

[lauriehaynes]

Thank you Mallory for being a voice of reason in a crowd of lunacy!!! I will watch your speech!!!!

[louisevad]

Mallorary you give me hope for this country. I’m so tired of the gun lobby and the minority trying to rule the majority.

[jennifercruz]

This is real, I am a teacher and I can imagine the pain. I feel the pain of loss of students. Thank you
