Hang your head low in sorrow as you read about the latest set of child victims of a school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas, and hear their stories .
Hang your head low in embarrassment that the whole international community is getting yet another damning look at the moral sickness embedded in the heart of the power structure ruling the United States and contaminating our whole society.
Hang your head low in shame if you have done nothing since the last school shooting to support the student gun reform activists, and nothing to remind your Congresspeople that they are responsible for the well-being and safety of the citizens they represent, not the NRA, which will grease the palms of anyone who supports their deadly agenda.
Or
Lift your head high and set your eyes on the prize: a successful campaign for sane gun laws. There are countless efforts underway. Join them.
Raise your head up and square your shoulders back and commit yourself to doing everything in your power to break the death grip that the NRA and the arms industry it represents has on the hearts and souls and wallets of the people elected to represent you.
Use your head to ask yourself if you really, truly have examined every opportunity available to you to resist fear-mongers, violence justifiers, promoters of hate, and exploiters of us all.
Invoke your conscience to propel you to take action in support of what may be the best chance in many decades to resist the power of the gun lobby and the violence-profiteers, and move instead to promote and protect the lives and well-being of our children and all of us.
You have real choices.
