(1,11) My wife @jguttenbergot does not say much publicly, but when she does, you need to listen. As always, she nails this.

For anyone still undecided on who to vote for, Fred and I can list a million reasons to vote for Biden and zero for Trump.
(2,11) This election specifically isn't about republican vs. democrat. It's about kicking out horrific and offensive behavior, selfish behavior, and lying behavior. It's about bringing in decency, civility, honor, caring about others and respect.
(3,11) If you are still undecided and you knew Jaime, remember that the gun laws that were in place at the time of the shooting allowed for the killer to possess a gun. There were no red flag laws. Trump doesn't support gun safety measures of any kind including red flag laws &
(4,11) closing the loopholes of background checks.
If you are still undecided, remember that the current occupant of the White House and the Senate refuse to pass sensible gun safety laws to keep you and your family and friends safer. Then he lies and says we are trying to take
(5,11) away the second amendment from Americans which is flat out not true.
If you are still undecided, remember that the current administration only caters to its "base" and not to everyone, and they do not care about equal rights for ALL.
(6,11) If you are still undecided, remember that Trump decided to disassemble the pandemic response team when he took office, and now treats the current pandemic as if it's fake, when almost 200,000 people died...young, old and middle aged!
(7,11) These were PEOPLE..someone's father, sister, brother, mother, daughter, son, friend...
If you are still undecided, remember that when they talk about "all democrats" it's another lie & scare tactic. Not every sound minded person is a far left liberal like they say we are.
(8,11) We simply want a country we can be proud of, feel safe in, and be told the truth for better or for worse. One in which the leader of our country will put us first. Make us feel equal to he himself.
If you are still undecided, please call or private message Fred Guttenberg
(9,11) who has worked tirelessly to educate himself on these issues for the past 2 1/2 years. Or you can talk to me. No judgement. No convincing. Just facts. Then you can make an informed decision. Forget what each candidate says. People need to know the truth of what goes on
(10,11) behind closed doors. Every voter should be as educated as possible. More than ever, our lives depend on it. (I typically don't write political posts like this, but this issue is so important to me that I had to...the election four years from now will be a different story.
(11,11) This election will have more committed republicans voting for a democratic candidate than ever before because republicans want to restore our country and want decency too! I will even make this post shareable which I typically don't do).

(1,4) Months ago I started planning a vist with @VP and @WHOGVP46 to Parkland. We have walked 100's of elected leaders, FBI, Secret Service, educators, and others through this building. I never imagined a visit like yesterday's was possible but VP Harris

(2,4) said to make it happen. Too be clear, she walked the untouched crime scene where Jaime and 16 others were murdered. The blood, DNA, glass, unfinished work is still there. Her time with our families and her compassion with everyone is something that I will never forget.
(3) We had allocated an hour for the family meeting time, VP Harris insisted spent hours. The media there knows how delayed we were because of it. Following the family meeting, we walked the building. I have no doubt because of what was experienced by the @VP , @GregJackson46

(1,6) Months ago, I started working with the @VP office and the @WHOGVP46 to plan a visit to the Parkland school building where Jaime and 16 others were murdered. Today, they will walk through the building with me and many other family members. Too be clear, they will walk
(2,6) and untouched crime scene. The blood, DNA, broken glass, course work on desks left unfinished and other remnants of the mass shooting incident will still be there. That Vice President Harris and her team are walking through this building with us to learn the lessons of
(3,6) why this happened and what could have been done to prevent it, as well as what we can do in the future to prevent gun violence, and also to prevent mass carnage when gun violence happens is a big deal. I will be forever grateful that they agreed to not make this a private

(1,4) Hoping to address some unfortunate misinformation around the visit to the school in Parkland where the shooting happened tomorrow by @VP and the @WHOGVP46. This visit is
(2,4) happening because I asked for it. Following the creation of The Office of Gun Violence Prevention back in November, I asked Vice President Harris and others from that office to come. The ability to learn from this
(3,3) untouched crime scene, while it still exists, is unlike anything else. I have worked with her office for months to do this during spring break to minimize disruption. They agreed with my wish to keep this visit focused on our families and the importance of the building.

(1,21) “Never live in the past but always learn from it.” This quote is painted on the 2ndfloor wall of the 1200 building at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School. Yes, that is the school and the building where my daughter and 16 others were murdered. Today marks 6 years since Image
(2,21) I sent my children Jesse and Jaime to that school on Valentines Day. Today marks 6 years since gun violence forever changed my family. Today marks 6 years since Jaime was murdered. Today marks 6 years since my son Jesse was forever affected by the reality of gun violence Image
(3,21) and is forever a changed person. Jesse lost a part of who he is that day. Today marks 6 years since my wife and I went from having two kids to take care of and to dream about futures with, to being overprotective parents of Jesse while visiting our forever 14-year-old

(1,5) We must make 2024 the year that voter turnout breaks all records. The discussions on this platform suggesting young people won't vote MUST STOP HERE! The idea that everything you ask for gets delivered or you will sit home MUST STOP HERE!!! We are all stakeholders in our
(2,5) Democracy & our vote is our power. I don't care if you are young or old, in either case you are an American & what happens matters to you. As for the younger people who developed a platform after the Parkland shooting, where my daughter was murdered, I have faith in you.
(3,5) However, the role of adults has mattered in your lives as well & you would be well served to remember that. It is true that adults had done a terrible job of voting in elections for a long time and that is the reason we are in this place. Don't make that same mistake.

(1,5) This week, a serious beating just took place at Marjory Stoneman High school, the same high school where my daughter was murdered. As those close to me know, I have deep issues with the current Principal there over her response to our families since
sun-sentinel.com/2023/12/13/stu…
(2,5) taking over that school. Her response to this beating is alarming and based upon my concerns with her, also not surprising. No, this was not a “a disturbing incident that took place off-campus.” This was a beating of an MSD student by other MSD students in a parking lot
(3,5) that all students walk to after school because they park there. Until schools and the district understand the responsibility of safety for students walking into school and walking out of school, you can't have true safety.
