John fed them and tended to their every need. Ones, for spiritual john baptized them, married them, and he preached to them. When his parents claimed one for supper, john refused to eat one of his flock. Going hungry was his first act of nonviolent protest. He also noted that in later years that his first congregation of chickens listen to him more closely than some of his colleagues in congress. Thought the chickens were just a little bit more productive. At least they produced eggs, he said. Nashville, from the freedom rides to the march on washington, from freedom summer to selma, john lewis always looked outward, not inward. He always thought of others. In preachingieved the gospel in word and in deed. Insisting that hate and fear had to be answered with love and hope. John lewis believed in the lord.

Remarks from three former president s, george w. Bush, bill clinton, and barack obama. Live coverage is here on cspan3. Amen. This is john lewis favorite poem, invictus. Out of the night that covers me, black as a pit from pole to pole, i think whatever god may be to my inconquerable soul. In the fell clutches of circumstance, i have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeons of chance, my head is bloody, but im bound. Beyond this place looms but the horror of the shade. And yet menace of the years finds and shall find me unafraid.

But today a majority of this commission establishes that will not come to pass. Today is a red letter day for internet freedom, for consumers who want to use the internet on their terms, for innovators who want to reach consumers without the control of gatekeepers for a future in which there are rules to protect the internet and its users. But importantly, today is also a day that gives Network Operators what they require if they are to continue expanding Broadband Service and competition. The rules for a fair and open internet are not oldstyle utility regulation but a 21st century set of rules for a 21st century service. Rate regulation, terror tariffing and forced unbundling have been superseded by a modernized regulatory approach that has already been demonstrated to work in an encouraging investment in Wireless Voice networks. It is important for consumers as well as companies that nothing in todays order alters the economic model for continued network expansion. The isps revenue s
