Michael Udine, a county commissioner in Broward County,
which includes Parkland, talked to President Trump Saturday, according t the Washington Post, telling him that students
“are extremely motivated and well spoken and they are going to be demanding
change in Washington and Tallahassee. . . . The president said, ‘Well, I would
welcome that.’ ”
Udine said Trump was thoughtful on the call and repeatedly
expressed
David Hogg survived the Florida shooting and is demanding
that Congress take action to stop it from happening again.
“Any politician who is coming to just talk or just to give
their thoughts and prayers, that’s not needed,” Udine said. “Thoughts and
prayers are not good enough anymore.”
The students said they are organizing “March for Our Lives”
rallies in Washington and other major U.S. cities on March 24 to demand
action on curbing gun violence.
About 20 students have launched “Never Again MSD,” a group
that will push for changes in gun laws. The rallies are being planned with help
from various groups, including organizers of the Women’s March, and have gained
support from several prominent Democrats and gun-control groups, according to
Alex Wind, one of the student organizers.
