Doing something
While our politicians bloviate, I decided to do something. About a week ago I saw a request for help in getting a website setup for the School Attacker Response Course – something that Rob Pincus of ICE Training setup immediately in the wake of Sandy Hook.

A few suggestions for VP Biden's Committee
