    Profile in Courage Award

    "The true democracy, living and growing and inspiring ... will not condemn those whose devotion to principle leads them to unpopular courses, but will reward courage, respect honor, and ultimately recognize right."

    --John F. Kennedy

    http://www.jfklibrary.org/Education+and+Public+Programs/Profile+in+Courage+Award/

    The democrats who capitulated to this disgrace have already blown their chances of ever winning a Profile in Courage Award, but it would be ever so much appreciated if they could find the courage to now make amends for their disgraceful non-action by acting now.
