"Ordinary people with extraordinary vision can redeem the soul of America by getting in what I call good trouble, necessary trouble. Voting and participating in the democratic process are key. The vote is the most powerful nonviolent change agent you have in a democratic society. You must use it because it is not guaranteed. You can lose it."

RIP, John Robert Lewis

"So I say to you, walk with the wind, brothers and sisters, and let the spirit of peace and the power of everlasting love be your guide."
Final words of a humble warrior who dedicated his life's work for the principles upon which this country was founded.

Grateful to the patriot for his contributions to America and humanity.
Well done.  Rest easy.  angel

I wonder if he realized that the party He supported is being overrun with people dedicated to a socialist agenda to where you may get to vote but there will be only one candidate to vote for.

that is the sad part, ONLY ONE (well technically 2) candidate to vote for.  Biden or Trump,  take your pic of the lesser of 2 evils?    Angry
