A one minute speech on health care reform by U.S. Representative John Lewis - civil rights legend and freakishly great speaker. In future, make sure to end all of your fiery speeches exactly the way he does here.
In 1963, when he was chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, Lewis spoke alongside Martin Luther King at the March on Washington. He was 23 years old.
Unfortunately, the horrified adults cut all of his best lines when they caught a glimpse of his prepared text. But surely "Which side is the federal government on?!" is a reasonable question after you've been beaten to near death by a series of angry white mobs during some peaceful interstate bus rides?
