Leadership of john lewis and nancy pelosi and eric cantor is all going to add up to us getting the re-authorization of section -- excuse me, the restoration of section iv. i also wouldnt be leaving if the naacp across the country wasnt rising to the challenges of this day so effectively. just last year, five miles from here up in maryland, in one year we played a critical role abolishing the death penalty, passing sensible gun safety reforms, passing the dream act, expanding voting rights and pa...
