A check for thoughts and prayers...

Check out this article from Detroit Free Press:

Michigander writes 'thoughts and prayers' check to GOP Rep. Jack Bergman

http://on.freep.com/2o63F2e

A photo surfaced Friday on social media of a check from an Ontonagon resident written out to Michigan U.S. Rep. Jack Bergman, R-Watersmeet, along with a note that says: "Dear Rep. Bergman - Since you and your colleagues in Congress seem to feel that this is the solution to mass murder, please accept this contribution."

No dollar amount was placed on the check - just "Thoughts + prayers." It's meant as a dig to politicians who send out statements of thoughts and prayers to family and loved ones after mass shootings from those who expect action rather than words.


What a great idea. Sending my checks to my Repub rep today
