LISTEN UP CONGRESS - HADIYA PENDLETON'S DEATH IS ENOUGH

HADIYA PENDELTON 15 YEARS OLD

While Congress is meets daily in their secured walls to debate the safety of our country, the violence on the streets continues! This time the news hits the president's previous home city of Chicago.

Chicago is quickly becoming one of the most violent cities in the country and now another body is added to the count.  Hadiya Pendleton was senseless gunned down yesterday as she found shelter from the rain after school.  She had just performed with her school band at the Obama Inauguration last week.  She was only 15 years old. Her death adds to the toll of over 42 people shot in Chicago in the month of January. The most violence in that city in over a decade.

There is gun violence and these type of stories all over the United States everyday that go unnoticed, except by the people are affected by the unnecessary loss of a loved one! It takes a huge story like Newtown and other mass slayings for Congress to even begin to notice! When will it end? How much more can and will we take?
