Representative
John Lewis had a Naval ship named
after him,
because he is so well thought of.. He went
thru the
civil rights with King in the 60’s There
was a
large article
about how he so deserved this honor… YET,
yesterday,
a Republican Representative decide to rescind
that honor…
What did Rep. Lewis do that was so bad
to be
stripped of this honor? He, with
others did a sit
down.. and
peaceful protest over the Congress’s
lack of gun
rules to make it harder for criminals and etc.
to get
guns. That in the discussion of those
rules, the
Republicans
threw it out with in an hour or the start of
those discussions.
.. Remember the Congress is said
to be
serving Americans… And the American people
have been
very vocal about they want something done.
And they
want it done now.. not years from now.
They want
some common sense rules and regs brought
to the
Congress and voted on.. Not just a few words
and grand
slammed shut down. As so many times
before..
So there
have been several participating in this sit
down. Look at their faces, America .. these
are the
same generation
who sat down at colleges, walked
protesting for
civil rights in the 60’s… These people
know protesting
and sit downs well. They know in
the past it
has worked, sometimes. They are some of the voice of America … Yes,
most of them are Democrats.
But at
least they are listening and open to discussion.
But once
again.. the Republican party acts like they
are in kindergarten. Shut off the camera of CSPAN.
They don’t
want the public to see.. (like in this day
and age of
cell phones with camera, that is going to happen.)
But to say
they want to remove Rep. John Lewis’s name
off a ship…
because of this.. is even a new low for Congress and the Republicans. Mississippi
Representative Steven Palazzo pretty well
knows that… let’s hope the rest of Congress has some common
sense left.
