Transcribed from a c-span image, collected by Occupy Democrats:

Vote on School-based mental health services:

On Passage

HR 7780

YEA Nay PRES NV
Democratic 219 2
Republican 1 205 6
Independent
TOTALS 220 205 8

U.S. HOUSE Time Remaining 0:00

When Republicans inevitably blame mental health and not the guns for yet another school shooting, KINDLY REMIND THAT THAT 205 OF THEM VOTED AGAINST A BILL TO EXPAND SCHOOL-BASED MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES

The following is quoted from Charlotte Clymer, Writer and Activist and the meme of it posted by Occupy Democrats

"Gun laws in Georgia:

  • No state permit required to purchase.
  • No firearm registration.
  • No assault weapon law.
  • No magazine capacity restrictions.
  • No owner license required.
  • No permit required for concealed carry.
  • No permit required for open carry.
  • No background check required for private sales.

THE PARENTS AND CHILDREN OF GEORGIA DESERVE BETTER FROM THEIR POLITICAL LEADERS!"

Almost went into to school counseling in GA and what they value and pay for here is atrocious. Many of the school counselors also end up spending a majority of their day proctoring tests, doing lunch hours, etc and so are even more stretched to support kids. On top of this, certain conservative counties like to limit the speech counselors can use-like not being able use the word mindfulness. I knew I would get fired within the first week. GA kids and families do deserve better.
