Civil Rights Icon John Lewis: Snowden’s Actions In Line With Gandhi, Thoreau

43. He has already 'paid the price' which I am certain a man as intelligent as Lewis already

understands. Not only that, but allowing himself to be silenced, which was guaranteed had he been arrested in a country that tortures and isolates its own Whistle Blowers, like Manning, would have been extremely foolish.

But thanks, we were waiting to see what the response to Lewis would be. This is not going to work, sorry.

Giving up everything you know and love, including your country which you love enough to speak out when you see wrong-doing, knowing what the consequences would be, is a price few people are willing to pay. I know I wouldn't have that kind of courage. Lewis understands courage. So do a majority of people who have no agenda.

I do admire YOUR courage however to keep on trying to do whatever it is you are trying to do. I am serious when I say, it's a tough job that gets tougher every day. Maybe some day you will move over to the side of those who have been right all along. Fighting losing battles is tough, I know, I've been there.
