Hundreds of Democracy Spring protestors were arrested on Capitol Hill. We heard them repeatedly over the last week. Having had the experience of standing before the Sudanese embassy. standing in a fight for immigration reform myself. as well participating by way of fight and registering people to vote in the deep South in the aftermath of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. I think that protest and petition is a right of the American peoplepeaceful protest and petitionand I want to applaud those who sacrificed or stood their ground protesting the inertia of this Congress and the help that is needed by millions of Americans. Democracy Spring should be an agenda that all of us can support.
