The Petition: https://idahofreedom.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Petition-for-Review-3.pdf In our democracy we must respect the ‘will of the people’ is a phrase we have all heard, but is it true?

Too many things don’t add up regarding the Parkland shooting. The perp was visited 39 times by police (Broward Sheriff says that is a lie…it was only 23 times) The first responder LEOs waited outside. The FBI was warned and did nothing.
