John Lewis At March: ‘I’m Not Going To Stand By And Let The Supreme Court Take The Right to Vote

[classof56]

15. I watched his speech this morning and was moved and amazed.

Not surprised at his words, but it's hard to explain how he made me feel. Such courage and conviction and commitment are incredible and I hope, not as rare as they sometimes seem. What I took away was this, as others have mentioned: If we lose our right to vote, we lose it all--our freedom, our democracy, our future. I know there are many other issues to concern and compel us to fight, but the foundation of our republic is the right to vote. Shame on those who do not use that right and even bigger shame on those who would take it away from us.

Let us not back off from the fight and as Rep. Lewis said, keep the faith! Too many have shed blood and died so that we can all vote. Fight on!
