If Hadiya Pendleton were still alive, she�d be turning 18 tomorrow. But in 2013, shortly after performing at Barack Obama�s inauguration, she was shot and killed while hanging out in a Chicago park.
So, rather than singing �Happy Birthday� and giving out presents on June 2nd, Hadiya�s friends, along with celebrities such as Sarah Silverman, Perez Hilton, and Julianne Moore, plus 60 U.S. mayors, and a coalition of activists and organizations (including MTV), are asking people to wear orange (#WearingOrange) as part of the very first National Gun Violence Awareness Day. |

TO REMEMBER |
| There are other things so clearly out of the power of Congress, that the bare recital of them is sufficient, I mean the "...rights of bearing arms for defence, or for killing game..." These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. �ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
