SPEAKER 2

Let me tell you about the time I yelled at a congressional candidate for office. I guess my story starts back in 2022. I was running for office. Now, I met several candidates running for office at this period of time. And, you know, like, I wasn't really running for office.

And I had worked to try to work through my party, asking questions to candidates at different events when I could. And I was just, I was very unsatisfied with what I was getting.

You know, I was constantly told that this is just the way that things are and you kind of have to play the game and you have to do all these things. And it's like, well, If we're talking about something that's seriously infringing on our rights, why is everyone in the power structure

The time I yelled at a Congressional Candidate

Mar 28, 2024

How can a citizen make an informed decision when the system shields candidates from answering serious questions?

In this brief video, I share the story of how I lost my cool and yelled at a congressional candidate running for office because I was threatened with legal action for harassment simply for wanting to have my questions answered.

Is this the system we want to decide our leaders? How are we supposed to hold them accountable?

Peace and Love,
