Elijah Cummings speaking at a press conference – July 2019
Posted People, United States
inExcerpt from Former President Barack Obama’s Eulogy honoring Representative Elijah Cummings of Maryland:
[T]here is nothing weak about kindness and compassion. There is nothing weak about looking out for others. There is nothing weak about being honorable. You are not a sucker to have integrity and to treat others with respect…
“The cost of doing nothing isn’t nothing,” [Elijah] would say, and folks would remember why they entered into public service. “Our children are the living messengers we send to a future we will never see,” he would say, and he would remind all of us that our time is too short not to fight for what’s good and what is true and what is best in America.

Excellent expose article !
Thanks for highlighting…
Ugly head of wealth accumulation as
per capitalistic USA now China’s.
It will all end in tears unless the guilty
are charged, tried, fined/jailed for their
crimes against taxpayers/humanity.
WMDW (weapon of mass distribution of wealth) regulation a neccessary evil.
USA better wake up in 2020 and do what
is fair and just.
ROW be aware beware
