Many thanks and kudos to Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) for calling the Indiana Democratic Caucus today to encourage lawmakers to stay strong and firm in their efforts to stop the states Republican leadership from doing an end-run around the democratic process.
In encouraging the caucus to keep fighting against Republican moves to pass so-called right to work legislation, Lewis told Democratic lawmakers they are taking action not only for Indiana but for the entire nationand the entire nation is depending on them.
Make no mistakethe Republicans are out to destroy unions and our democracy.
Lewis participation is especially meaningful because of his relationship with Indiana. He was campaigning for Bobby Kennedy in Indianapolis on April 4, 1968, the day that Dr. King was assassinated.
Lewis, who spoke about the long and constant struggle for economic justice, offered the caucus his assistance whenever needed.
