What is wrong with you?
What is wrong with you?
I'm Dustin J. Pearson, and I'm running for president of BSG.
There are a few reasons that we're running this campaign this year.
One has to do with representation.
How can we represent all voices in a conversation?
I want to do this by partnering with organizations from the Boone Democrats to the Boone Republicans.
I want to bring together different voices, dissenting voices, voices that may be more liberal or more conservative, in order that we can reach a point of sort of the radical middle.
Here, you've had three strikes laws, mass incarceration, denied us of who we are, and we are still here.
And today, you will take the only majority black district from us.
But I want you to know, and I want my nephew's sons and the future to know, no matter what you do, no matter how much you try and break us and make us bend and make us quit, we will still be here.
Well, it's more than a one-page offer.
It's an offer that's basically said they will not have nuclear weapons.
They're going to hand us the nuclear dust and many other things that we want.
When they agree, it doesn't mean much because the next day they forget they agreed.
Just this week, Iran's own state media announced that the regime has launched what it calls the Persian Gulf Straits Authority.
where it seeks to demand that all ship captains from international shipping, commercial shipping, civilian shipping, basically have to check in and pay a bribe, pay a toll in order to use these international waterways.
So that doesn't just affect this region.
It affects the entire world.
