College students come together to send support to the Sandy Hook community

College students from different schools have collaborated to bring messages of support from all over to those affected by the tragedy at Sandy Hook. supportsandyhook.yolasite.com

After the tragedy at Sandy Hook elementary school, a few students from various colleges in the North East decided to work together to put together a support campaign for the victims’ families and friends.   

Together we created a letter writing campaign in hopes of being able to send thoughts and prayers to the Sandy Hook community during this difficult time.  We ask for your support in sharing our site so the community can see all those who are there for them in their time of need.  Currently the letters are being posted on the site but we are looking for a way to get them sent directly to the community as well.

If you would like to you may also submit a letter in honor of your neighbor's. Letters do not have to be long and can be sent anonymously if you wish.  Our goal was to show the Sandy Hook community just how many people care about them and are thinking of them.  Please share supportsandyhook.yolasite.com and help us spread messages of hope to those in need!

Thank you for your support!

Why is it the panel for this event does not include a single advocate for gun-owners' rights? WithRead More all due respect to Chief McNamara, why does the panel no include a person who can speak to gun safety from a gun-owning civilian's perspective? ML, you claim that the assembled folks "do not offer judgements about gun ownership" but they are not including a single voice that can offer perspective on gun ownership. I have been to "education" sessions sponsored by Meg's March for Change and they are one-sided indoctrinations into gun control advocacy. >>>> I was in Hartford for the public hearings in January when both Meg and March co-founder Nancy gave their personal testimonies and they all but threatened the legislators on the panel with election day retribution for all those who did not tow the gun-control line of thinking (i.e. March and CAGV). To suggest that Meg "does not offer judgements" is fallacious and disingenuous.

Norma has been spotted this morning at the intersection of Kenan and Currituck. The red leash isRead More still attached. She was trying to eat a dead squirrel on Currituck. Very skittish, but still in the neighborhood (yay). Please watch for her. My husband and sister-in-law (who first spotted her on Currituck this morning) were unable to get near her. She's in the woods, heading toward Butterfield. Her foster mom is on the scene now. Folks in the neighborhood, please watch for her and call 203-942-4008 if you see her.

Carolee Mason (Newtown's Animal Control Officer) is watching her from her car at the moment, armedRead More with catfood to tempt her closer. The foster mom is on her way there again, this time with chicken, and Laura is on her way with hamburger. Problem is, this dog is VERY shy, skittish and quick to run away.
