Mr President, Our Children are our countries most valuable asset. They contain both our future, and our hopes and aspirations. Both at a deeply personal level, and also at a national level. They are our most important resource. I propose that you sign a letter today commanding the armed forces, of which you are commander and chief, instructing your armed forces to staff our schools with 2 to 3 armed military personel. I have done some research, and I believe that there are about 100,000 public schools in the United States. You of course, will probably have a better grasp of this number. That being said, it would take 200,000 to 300,000 troops to secure our most important national asset. I believe that it also could be a way to help stimulate the economy, and to also promote the armed forces as an honorable profession. One that has many benefits. Mr President - with the latest shooting, I urge you to at least seriously consider this, and to take action now, if only for 3-6 months to make a crystal clear statement about what YOU as the leader of the free world value the most. Thank you for your time and consideration,

So tired of hearing about these tragedies on the news. Our schools need real security not just signs that say gun free zone. Put boots on the ground at every single school.

Finally someone said it. If we can pay for security at banks and government buildings we sure as heck can protect our kids. Do this now.
