Every January, when anti-voting rights and anti-union politicians like Congressman Cline purport to honor Martin Luther King, it’s important to recall that Dr. King:
• Marched and went to jail to achieve the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which those same politicians now refuse to restore and strengthen. Given the chance to do so, Ben Cline has repeatedly voted NO.
• Was a staunch opponent of anti-union “right to work” laws that those same politicians– including the union-hating Cline– want to impose on a national level.
• Was in murdered on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, where he went to support a strike by members of Local 1733 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. Can you imagine Ben Cline even crossing the street to support any sort of labor strike?
