<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\u201cMy message to lawmakers in Congress is: Please! Take action. Ideas are great. Ideas are wonderful, and they help you get re-elected and everything. But what\u2019s more important is actual action, and pertinent action that results in saving thousands of children\u2019s lives \u2026 We can say, yes, we\u2019re going to do all these things\u2026 thoughts and prayers. What we need more than that is action. Please! This is the eighteenth one<\/em> [school shooting] this year. That\u2019s unacceptable! We\u2019re children. You guys, like, are the adults. You need to take some action, and play a role. Work together. Come over your politics, and get something done.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n \u2013 David Hogg, survivor of M.S. Douglas High School mass shooting.<\/em><\/p>\n This is a clip from CNN of a High School Journalism student interviewed by a CNN correspondent. He is a survivor of the M.S. Douglas High School mass shooting that killed 17 of his schoolmates and changed his life forever. He\u2019s a sharp and articulate young man, and his admonishment is prescient and powerful.<\/p>\n
