This petition is to request that individual photographs of several (6 to 10) children or teens killed by firearms in the United States be shown in silence at one-week intervals. It is suggested that the photographs be accompanied by the age, location and a brief explanation of circumstances of death.
Why is this important?
The goal is to petition appropriate executives at PBS NewsHour and CNN to provide a frequent, powerful and dignified reminder of the large numbers of children and teens killed by firearms each week. The procedure is to follow closely that which the PBS NewsHour uses to honor military personnel killed in Afghanistan. Whereas I have not lost a relative, all Americans are endangered by the ready availability of firearms in the USA.
