Despite the continued reports of politically motivated threats or violence, Democratic Party leaders have worked to keep this anger burning and incite even more harassment and violence.  

After my own personal experience of a crazed gunman attempting to assassinate Republican members of Congress on a baseball field, I have become more vocal in calling out violence and threats against people in both parties.

Never doubt the ability of sports to bring people together. If you need proof, look no further than this week’s Congressional Baseball Game for Charity. I was shot while practicing for last year’s game and nearly died, but I was blessed to be alive and well enough play in the game Thursday.

Choice in education is no mere abstraction.
