[Applause]
hello everybody
[Applause]
you look good
very good you're young and some of you
old like I am but we are never too young
we're never too old to march to speak up
to speak out and find a way to get in a
way to do something about gun violence
I am sick and tired of gun violence I'm
sick of losing so many of our friends
sisters and our brothers our mothers and
our fathers our teachers and our
students we must stop it and we must
stop it here and now
[Applause]
look we lost the president by gun
violence that I met with for 202
occasion President Kennedy we lost a
leader that I got to know it worked with
50 years ago by the name of Martin
Luther King jr. because the gun violence
we lost a young senator by the name of
Robert Kennedy that I work for because
the gun violence we must end gun
violence once for all in it you know the
NRA
gave me an F
and I'm proud I'm proud to wear that if
so on the Democratic side of the House
of Representative minute members of the
Congress a win and F I can flunk out of
the NR a university over and over again
we can stop it
I want to thank each and every one of
you all the young people all of the
students all of the teachers all of our
mothers and our fathers and our
grandparents but standing up so you must
never give up never give up never give
in keep the face and you're going to
have a victory many many years ago when
I had all of my hair and a few pounds
lighter
I'm March I got arrested
went to jail 40 times and since I've
been in Congress five more time and I
probably going to go again for trying to
do something about gun violence that's
not enough jail to fill the people in
this state or in our nation we need to
March we need to sit in sit down we need
to stand up do whatever we can to
disturb the order of thing and so there
will be no peace there will be no order
until we end gun violence
[Music]
and all folks that refuse to vote the
right way look get out there vote yep
and vote like you never ever voted
before the vote is precious the vote is
powerful it is the most powerful
instrument or to be having a Democratic
Society and we must use it so I gave a
little blood on that bridge in Selma
Alabama 53 years ago for the right to
vote and their students as teachers as
peers get out there send those folks
home who can I vote against gone you can
do it
so I said to you you know I'm into the
sit-ins the Freedom Rides the march on
Washington the march from Selma to
Montgomery but this movement is powerful
all across America and around the world
keep it going keep it going
hang in there and keep it going and we
will have a victory thank you very much
and let's get rid of them all
once again that's a live look at
Congressman John Lewis just wrapping
things up there downtown Atlanta and as
we all know he marched
shoulder-to-shoulder with Martin Luther
King jr. so he knows all all about
rallies and having your voices heard
