Last Saturday, while Representatives filed through a House office building on their way to watch President Obama deliver a Health Care speech, some extremist protesters turned vicious. Civil rights legend and Georgia Congressman John Lewis was repeatedly called “ni**er” by the crowd, while fellow Congressional Black Caucus member Emanuel Cleaver was spat on. Longtime NAACP champion and openly gay Representative Barney Frank was called a “fa**ot.” This is not only outrageous behavior—it is un-American.

Stand with Representatives Cleaver, Lewis and Frank. Sign the petition below and let it be known these outrageous personal attacks have no place in our nation’s political discourse.
