based on a poem by German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller: First they came for the Environmental Protection Agency, but I didn’t work there so I said nothing, Then they came for the Department of Education, but I don’t work there so I said nothing, Then they came for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, but I don’t work there so I said nothing, Then they came for the Department of Justice, but I don’t work there so I said nothing, Then they came for the Federal unions, but I was not a member, so I said nothing, Then they came for me, my rights and my job-- but there was no one left to speak for me.
