Before you read this, please watch Bronte's video above.
On the 14th of December 2012, our nation was shocked into disbelief, grief and despair. Bronte came home from school and wondered what was going on. I did my best to explain in simple terms, then diverted our attention to how we could help the mourning community of Newtown. As a result, Bronte wrote her own letter to the President.
Bronte is committed to collecting letters, emails, cards, drawings and signatures from anyone, any age (particularly from older children and teens) to add to her own, which she fully intends to deliver to The White House in person. If you want to tell President Obama how you feel about reducing gun violence, please write a letter and send it to Bronte by visiting her pledge: http://links.causes.com/s/clIcHL?r=TbrD
Scanned (or photographed) handwritten letters and emails are gratefully accepted at bronte@bronteandfrank.com
Who is Bronte?
Bronte is no stranger to helping children in need. She was nominated for the 2012 International Children's Peace Prize for her efforts collecting 5,200 soft toys for children displaced by Typhoon Sendong in The Philippines (hundreds of which she delivered in person to kids living in tent cities).
Last month, she collected more than 1,000 children's books to build the reading rooms of facilities in Los Angeles caring for homeless children. 300 of these were also sent to support the re-stocking of libraries lost to Sandy.
Thanks for signing, sharing and sending your letters to help Bronte make it to the White House. The target date is 26th January, so she can float an enormous bunch of green and white balloons above the many, Marching on Washington for Gun Control.
PS - where Bronte mentions 'the guns', she is not intending it to mean every gun in the country (I hope she doesn't know what 'assault weapon' means - and daren't try to explain 'ammunition magazine')
