Parkland student Sarah Chadwick creates a fearless parody mocking the threatening NRA ad

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/3/8/1747400/-Parkland-student-Sarah-Chadwick-creates-spot-on-parody-to-mock-NRA-Dana-Loesch-s-threatening-ad?detail=emaildkre

This past week, NRA’s spokesmodel Dana Loesch put out a threatening video ad against pretty much anyone who wasn’t supportive of the National Rifle Association—and Trumpism. In response, Parkland student Sara Chadwick created a word-for-word parody of Loesh’s ad. Chadwick is one of the survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting that left 17 students and staff dead—gunned down and murdered by a student with an AR-15 automatic weapon of war.

Here is the video that was posted on BRUT.‘s facebook page:

https://www.facebook.com/Brutlive/videos/1875672706064573/


Below is the video transcription:

Dana Loesch: We’ve had enough of the lies, the sanctimony, the arrogance, the hatred, the pettiness, the fake news...

Sarah Chadwick: We’ve had enough of the lies, the sanctimony, the ignorance, the hatred, the pettiness, the NRA...


NRA: We are done with your agenda to undermine voters will and individual liberty in America...

Student: We are done with your agenda to undermine the safety of our nation’s youth and the individual voices of the American people...


NRA: So to every lying member of the media, to every Hollywood phony...

Student: So to every government official unwilling to take action and make change, to everyone with an A+ rating from the National Rifle Association…


NRA: To the role model athletes who use their free speech to alter and undermine what our flag represents…

Student: To the politicians who would rather watch American youth die than get assault rifles off the shelves...


NRA: To the late night hosts who think their opinions are the only opinions that matter…

Student: To the political lobbyists who believer their stances should be the only ones supported by legislation…


NRA: To those who bring bias and propaganda to CNN, The Washington Post, and The New York Times...

Student: To those who call high school students “paid crisis actors” and refuse to listen…


NRA: Your time is running out

Student: Your time is running out


Student and NRA: The clock starts now

Oh yeah, they're fighting for their GD lives! The time for the conservative NRA to move on is now. They have morphed into little more than a terrorist organization.

times infinity + 1. Some people should have zero political influence, and terrorist organizations fall under that category.

For one thing, they have the Second Amendment. Second!

Women aren't allowed to even have the Twenty Seventh Amendment! After 62 years of trying it would now have to be the 28th.

On August 10, 1970, Michigan Democrat Martha Griffiths successfully brought Alice Paul's ERA to the House Floor, after fifteen years of bringing the bill to the House Judiciary Committee without success. The bill passed in the House and continued on to the Senate, which voted for the ERA with an added clause that women would be exempt from the military. The session of Congress ended before the bill could go any further.[35]

Griffiths reintroduced the ERA, and achieved success on Capitol Hill with her House Joint Resolution No. 208, which was adopted by the House on October 12, 1971, with a vote of 354 yeas (For), 24 nays (Against) and 51 not voting.[36] Griffiths's joint resolution was then adopted by the Senate on March 22, 1972, with a vote of 84 yeas, 8 nays and 7 not voting.[37] The Senate version, drafted by Senator Birch Bayh of Indiana,[38] passed after the defeat of an amendment proposed by Senator Sam Ervin of North Carolina that would have exempted women from the draft.[26] President Richard Nixon immediately endorsed the ERA's approval upon its passage by the 92nd Congress.[26]

to see and hear in the media. I'm so very impressed with the maturity, speaking so well on live camera, and ability to gather the support of students and many others across the Country to join in won their web site #Never Again. These students are so different than we were at the same age.
