Happy new year to all my friends and family. I hope this year will be a better year for us all in 2023. I hope it is a year of no gun violence. There have been a lot of shootings in high schools and recreation centers. Young people are getting shot and killed everyday. Congress needs to step up and take action to address this unnecessary violence. People need to have places safe from fear of gun violence. This has been on the news everyday. I think we all should get together and end crime in D.C., Maryland and Virginia.
