News Bulletin, Mr. Graham and Ms. Haynes: bullets have no regard for PRAYER, either. Your beliefs, no matter how fervent or closely held they are, will no more stop a bullet than your address or status will. Prayer had no effect on Uvalde or El Paso or Parkland, Florida or Newtown, Connecticut or ANYWHERE ELSE ... because PRAYER DOES NOTHING ... other than maybe making you feel better ... maybe.

And this doesn't even mention the fact that, by sponsoring a prayer vigil as a public representative, you are violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution, a document I suspect you were sworn to uphold. Far as I'm concerned, you need to clean up your act.

Or the both of you can refresh your resumes.
