I believe the real underdogs in Philadelphia are our students who have been poorly served by an underfunded School District. A generation have suffered as a result. It’s time to write a new chapter in the history of Philadelphia’s schools. #PHLbudget
I've been thinking that I'm going to use the term "lobbyists for gun manufactures" instead of the NRA or gun rights organizations or whatever because the truth is that these groups are run by people who want to make money from selling guns (and associated products).

Are you watching the students fight against guns? Are you tweeting about how much you admire them? Are you saying to yourself "It's amazing what they are doing. I could never do that"? Well, you can. And you owe it to those kids to get up and fight alongside them.
“Kimberly-Clark, maker of paper products like Kleenex, Viva paper towels, Cottonelle bathroom tissue and Huggies diapers, announced earlier this month it would use its tax cut windfall to pay the costs of closing 10 factories and dumping as many as 5,500 workers.”
Ok, friends. Let's brainstorm about getting out the vote. It's going to be key for the elections this year. Let's list groups of people who might need help registering, encouragement, reminders and rides to polls. This will help us each do our part.
I'll start:
Today, @GovernorTomWolf told @SupremeCtofPA that he will not accept the proposed map GOP @PaLegis leaders submitted because it, too, is a partisan gerrymander that does not comply with the court’s order or PA’s Constitution. https://t.co/zxBW008cch
