The State Republican leadership has allowed this situation to fester, even as they have bowed down to the far-right conservatives. We will be joined by two young Pakistani Americans - Saami Baig & Jasir Rahman - who have taken up leadership roles in organizations which want to change these gun laws and restore safety for Texan citizens. 5:30 pm We all love our cell phones, tablets and laptops as they open up whole new vistas of life for us through many apps. Through posts on social media, websites and email, we leave our digital footprint in cyberspace and have devices full of photos and videos in hard drives and the icloud.
