A larger group of more than a thousand Parkland residents — students and teachers from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High as well as chaperones — is arriving in the nation’s capital on Saturday for the march. Some students are traveling in buses departing from Coral Springs on Friday, while others are flying into D.C. early Saturday morning.

Travel expenses for the group of 200 students flying into D.C. on Thursday have been covered by Giffords, an organization founded by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords to combat gun violence. Giffords has also helped coordinate Friday meetings with 40 members of Congress. South Florida lawmakers Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Alcee Hastings and Frederica Wilson are hosting a reception for the students Friday afternoon. House minority leader Nancy Pelosi also intends to meet with them.

Here we go...I said it from the start, when Ema Gonzalas within hours had a finely crafted anti gun message spreading all over a fawning media before the bodies were even identified....This is a big left movement, NOT grass roots in any way....
