I Am Jack Pinto


Remember in Spartacus?  “I am Spartacus.”

“I am Spartacus.”

“I am Spartacus.”

And then everyone on the hillside was standing and proclaiming, “I am Spartacus.”


My wife has been posting on her Facebook page the photos of the children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Newton, Ct.  In honor of their precious lives, lest we forget.



I have swapped my Facebook profile photo of myself and my grandson.  In its place, I have substituted a photo of Jack Pinto, one of the victims of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School


What if a whole hillside full of people posted photos of the children lost to us at Sandy Hook Elementary?  Post them everywhere, anywhere.  On Facebook, on your drivers license, on utility poles.  Add them to your e-mails. 

“I am Jack Pinto.”

“I am Jack Pinto.”

“I am Jack Pinto.”

As are my children and grandchildren.  And even those of people elected to Congress with the financial support of narrow manufacturing interests and their hired lobbyists.
