"First they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out because I was
not a Communist. Then they came for
the Socialists and I did not speak out
because I was not a Socialist. Then they
came for the trade unionists and I did
not speak out because I was not a trade
unionist. Then they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out because I was
not a Jew. Then they came for me, and
there was no one left to speak out for
me."; Martin Niemöller (derived); first,
they came
for the truckers
