100 Percent of US Agree

Type spirals into a vortex displaying the words \"100% of US Agree. Kids should not be murdered at school!\"

PORTLAND, Ore. - August 26, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

100 Percent of US, a grassroots campaign launched to prevent school shootings, aims to unite members of the two leading political parties to combat gun violence in American schools. The non-monetary, non-affiliated movement leverages empathic messaging, with the phrase, "While we don't agree on much, 100% of US agree kids should not be murdered at school," featured on the official website. 

Mariah Gray, the campaign's founder and a parent to a school-aged child, admits that the copy is raw and more difficult to hear than "gun violence in schools."

"If we can't say 'kids should not be murdered at school,' because it's too graphic, how can we continue to let it happen over and over again?" said Gray. "It's upsetting to think this may be the one sentence the electorate can agree on, but any alignment among voters is a step in the right direction."

100PercentofUS.com launched just in time for back-to-school season, a period when millions of American students return to the classroom to further their education. The movement asks participants to write two letters to two key Congressmen - Senate majority leader and New York Senator Chuck Schumer, and Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell, who also serves as the minority leader of the United States Senate.

The movement encourages participants to urge Congress to take immediate action to prevent future school shootings and fully protect students. Letter templates are available at 100PercentofUS.com, along with mailing addresses for Senators Schumer and McConnell.

Participants are asked to wait until Oct. 1 to mail their letters.

"In September, I'll send Senators Schumer and McConnell each a letter informing them what's coming their way October 1st. It will be a lot harder for them to ignore 10,000 letters arriving all at once, than if letters trickle in over a few months," said Gray.

The backbone and distinguishing characteristic of the campaign is a promise not to discuss politics in order to maintain solidarity among liberal and conservative participants.

"We're not telling Congress how to stop school shootings, but when to do it. We demand Congress enact further legislation to fully protect students from school shootings—and to do it by a deadline of November 1st, 2022. If they don't meet our demands, it will influence how we vote on November 8th," said Gray.

Beal Law Firm Adds Former Special Litigator to the Team

Beal Law Firm Adds Former Special Litigator to the Team

Dallas Native Robert Hight Brings a Wealth of Texas Family Law Experience to His Position as Senior Associate Attorney at One of the Area's Oldest and Largest Family Law Firms

Beal Law Firm Adds Former Special Litigator to the Team

Robert Hight, Senior Associate Attorney, Beal Law Firm, PLLC

SOUTHLAKE, Texas - August 25, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Robert Hight is now a part of the Beal Law Firm Team as a Senior Associate attorney. Hight handles all types of family law — Divorce, Custody, Support, etc. — for clients throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area and may be the most experienced child support litigator to ever work at the Firm.

Before starting at BLF, Hight was a Special Litigator for the Texas Office of the Attorney General. A Special Litigator is the highest "ranking" Assistant Attorney General in a child support division region that still actually litigates — meaning that he was in the courtroom and not just a manager.

In his role as Special Litigator, Hight handled complex and sensitive cases for the OAG and ensured that the attorneys under him were engaging in best litigation practices. Additionally, Hight trained young attorneys at the Office of the Attorney General and was on the OAG Child Support Division Forms Committee, which means that he helped draft and oversaw changes to the OAG's standard petitions, orders, and other forms.

In addition to the substantial experience that he brings to the table, Hight has academic credentials to match. Hight graduated from the highly ranked University of Texas School of Law with honors in 2010, and before that was the Salutatorian of the Classics program at Baylor University. While at the Office of the Attorney General, Hight won the AAG of the Year award.

A native of the Park Cities, Hight attended and played football at the highly ranked Highland Park High School in Dallas, but now his free-time interests focus much more on his family and love of chess.

Beal Law Firm, PLLC is a Texas law practice that exclusively handles family law, divorce, child custody, spousal support, child support, grandparent rights, property division, relocation, and other related matters. The firm has a Team of divorce, custody, and family law attorneys located in five offices in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and San Antonio and handles cases state-wide. Beal Law Firm has represented clients in family law matters throughout Texas for over 30 years.

Beal Law Firm has Southlake, Dallas, Fort Worth, Frisco, and San Antonio offices. Its family law attorneys can meet remotely or in person virtually anywhere in Texas.

Hight can be reached through the Beal Law Firm website located at www.dfwdivorce.com. For more information about Hight or the Beal Law Firm, PLLC, contact Eric Beal, Senior Executive Member and Founder, at [email protected] or 1-800-811-0380.

Two Iconic Veteran-Owned Brands Join Forces to Feature ‘Military Slang Dictionary’ Apparel

SAN DIEGO - August 25, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Veteran Entertainment Television (VET Tv) is proud to announce an official partnership with patriotic apparel brand Grunt Style on a new product line. The new products will feature phrases from the best-selling book "Military Slang Dictionary." 

Grunt Style, who licensed the rights to the book, will oversee the production of unique apparel, stickers, patches, and other merchandise based on the dictionary's words and art. 

"Lance commandants" everywhere have been reading the book to try to understand what more senior troopers mean when they say "Man, you are '8-UP.'" With more than 2,500 words and definitions to choose from, the Military Slang Dictionary has all the call-outs and phrases veterans have come to know and love (hate, too) over the past 247 years.

Grunt Style's initial offerings will feature a collection of select phrases from the book, including "HMFIC," "SNAFU," and "Out-f***ingstanding."

"Generations of veterans, myself included, have used so many of these phrases that they become part of our way of life and key phrases in our vocabulary — for better or worse," said Waco Hoover, CEO of VET Tv. 

"We're really proud to partner with Grunt Style in this initiative. We share more than just an audience — we're both focused on building a sense of community with our fellow veterans, and we can't wait to see what's next."

Glenn Silbert, Grunt Style's CEO, is excited to launch this new product line. 

"At Grunt Style, we are always looking for authentic and innovative ways to bring new products to our customers. We know fans and subscribers of VET Tv will be excited to see what we've done with the 'Military Slang Dictionary' and will be fired up to see some of those familiar phrases from their days in uniform on a Grunt Style T-shirt."

The shirts are shipping now from the Grunt Style website at https://www.gruntstyle.com/.
