They’re absolutely, absolutely determined to make change.īut Mark and Jackie, whose son Daniel was a first grader at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

So many of you who are in - absolutely determined, as Murph and others are, to get this done. Jill Biden, who cares deeply about this issue as well.Īnd I look out there and I see so many members of Congress who have led in this fight. It’s also good to see the Second Gentleman, who is here.
