Here is How John Lewis ACTS (While Trump Was Evading National Service)

[McCamy Taylor]

It takes a lot to make me mad. But never underestimate the ability of our President select to cross the line in search of attention.

Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results. All talk, talk, talk - no action or results. Sad!

Here is how real leaders like Rep. John Lewis act to defend the Constitution and preserve our liberty.

In 1965, at the height of the modern civil rights movement, activists organized a march for voting rights, from Selma, Alabama, to Montgomery, the state capital. On March 7, some 600 people assembled at a downtown church, knelt briefly in prayer, and began walking silently, two-by-two through the city streets.

With Hosea Williams of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) leading the demonstration, and John Lewis, Chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), at his side, the marchers were stopped as they were leaving Selma, at the end of the Edmund Pettus Bridge, by some 150 Alabama state troopers, sheriff ’s deputies, and possemen, who ordered the demonstrators to disperse.

One minute and five seconds after a two-minute warning was announced, the troops advanced, wielding clubs, bullwhips, and tear gas. John Lewis, who suffered a skull fracture, was one of fifty-eight people treated for injuries at the local hospital. The day is remembered in history as “Bloody Sunday.” Less than one week later, Lewis recounted the attack on the marchers during a Federal hearing at which the demonstrators sought protection for a full-scale march to Montgomery. A transcript of his testimony is presented in the following pages.

How did Donald Trump act to serve his country in the 1960s? He received a series of draft deferments while in college--no shame in that---and then he got himself classified as unable to serve because of bone spurs in his heels.

One man, Rep. Lewis is a political leader because he stood up for what he believed in and risked his life to defend his fellow citizens. The other, President Select Trump is a political leader because he took money from Russia and now he has to pay them back. I know why Donald Trump wants to do away with the Veterans Administration. When he sees all those men and women who risked their lives and sacrificed their health to defend their country, he is probably reminded of what a silver spoon in mouth loser he really is--and man so consumed by greed and fear and vanity that he will put his country at risk for personal gain. Any one of the men and women who gather at the VA in the mornings to see their doctors or just to share coffee with fellow veterans would make a better president than Trump. And Rep. John Lewis would make a helluva better president than Trump.

No one should be president of the United States because he wants the power that comes with that office. The number one requirement for that office should be a fierce desire to serve the country and its people.

Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land!

Rep. John Lewis has been to the mountaintop. Trump wants to strip mine the mountaintop.
