	The My Hero Project - John Lewis (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Growing up, John saw segregation everywhere he looked; it was evident on his long bus ride to the all-fl public school, the signs in the public washrooms and water fountains and the city buses.
		All told, John was arrested 40 times, suffered many beatings and serious injuries; yet, he continued to believe that retaliating with violence was not the solution to winning equality.
		Lewis is not afraid to get his hands dirty—literally; just recently he participated in a Habitat for Humanity project, hammering, sawing, and hoisting wood to build a house for a family in one of Atlanta’s neighborhoods.

		While politicians have been characterized as mere horse traders, there are occasional statesmen like Tip O'Neill, Speaker of the House of Representatives from 1977 to 1987, an era of dramatic reform.
		John A. Farrell's "Tip O'Neill and the Democratic Century" earns a place with the finest works of journalism and political history - first because the author sets himself two lofty goals, and second because he accomplishes both of them in grand fashion.
		O'Neill was typecasted as a corrupt machine politician by some, in my view, because of his down to earth personality and some of his political tactics.

		And they put a Lewis machine gun on the bow, gave us a bunch of World War One rifles and a Tommy-gun, two depth charges we couldn't outrun, and said, "Go get 'em." That's about the way it was.

	Los Angeles Times Interview: John Lewis -- July 26, 1998
		He was fearless without the slightest trace of bravado, committed to the struggle without ever being divisive and though he emerged as the most impressive of the young people who rallied to the call of Martin Luther King Jr., he remains to this day, as in the pages of his new book, totally self-effacing.
		In 1966, Lewis was ousted as head of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee by the more militant Stokely Carmichael and his fellow advocates of Black Power.
		But this sharecroppers' son from the deeply segregated rural South dared with unflinching equanimity to assert the goal of racial integration and the necessity of nonviolence as the only fit means toward that end.

	MyDD :: Draft John Lewis for Majority Leader
		John Lewis is exceedingly eloquent, (in addition to being a talented writer- Walking With the Wind is an incredible book), and is also somebody who Time referred to as a "living saint".
		John Lewis is also already a talented politician- the reason why I am suggesting him is because, as Senior Chief Deputy Whip (No.6) he is the highest ranking member of the Progressive Caucus in Congress.
		John Lewis' politics are sound - his record looks mightily clean, and we can count on him to keep the agenda focused.
