I am hosting a nationwide series of house parties this Saturday night where tens of thousands of people will gather together in living rooms to watch 'Bowling for Columbine' and then hold a live "town hall" to discuss what the 310 million of us who aren't members of the NRA ...
The response to my Newtown letter this week has been overwhelming. It is so very clear to everyone that the majority of Americans have had it with how we as a country have recklessly allowed the NRA and the gun manufacturers to get away, literally, with murder. That, right now, ...

Celebrating the Prince of Peace in the Land of Guns
