Congressman Payne, Jr. to Boycott President-Elect Trump’s Inauguration

Nice to see the congressman I voted for has John Lewis's back! NJ Congressman Donald Payne Jr. has joined a growing number of house representatives and announced that he will not be attending Donald Trump's inauguration. Read that announcement below.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Donald M. Payne, Jr. (NJ-10) issued the following statement today announcing his decision to boycott President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration:

“I have the deepest respect for the office of the presidency, something that cannot be said for President-elect Trump. His actions and statements have consistently been below the dignity of the office, and there’s no indication that will change. Donald Trump will be our president, and I will work with him if my values permit, and if doing so is in the best interest of my constituents and the nation. But I will not celebrate his swearing-in to an office that he has proven unfit to hold.”

The reason I'm disappointed in Martin Luther King's son meeting with Donald Trump.

By George L. Cook III

Today on the day we honor Dr. Martin Luther King his son went to meet with Donald Trump. I'm not so disappointed that he went but I'm not happy about when he went. Hear that reason below.

Martin Luther King III meets with Donald Trump to discuss voting rights.

A son of Martin Luther King Jr., Martin Luther King III had a meeting and representatives of his policy making body The Drum major Institute with Donald Trump to discuss voting rights on MLK Day. I actually don't have a problem with King meeting with Trump but I do have a problem with doing it on the King Holiday. This makes it look as if King is being used as prop in Trump's dog and pony show. Listen to Martin Luther King III discuss the meeting below.

Donald Trump is not fit to carry John Lewis's jock strap

Trump had the audacity to attack John Lewis but he doesn't realize he's a little boy going at a grown man who had done grown man things.

President Obama's last weekly address: The honor of being your president

This week, President Obama delivered his final weekly address thanking the American people for making him a better President and a better man. Over the past eight years, we have seen the goodness, resilience, and hope of the American people. We’ve seen what’s possible when we come together in the hard, but vital work of self-government – but we can’t take our democracy for granted. Our success as a Nation depends on our participation. It’s up to all of us to be guardians of our democracy, and to embrace the task of continually trying to improve our Nation. Despite our differences, we all share the same title: Citizen. And that is why President Obama looks forward to working by your side, as a citizen, for all of his remaining days.
