Tulsi Gabbard

Overwhelming bipartisan opposition to the bill.

And that was within the span of one day.

And so, you know, it doesn't always work out that way.

But we have many, many more numbers than them.

And ultimately, most members of Congress, what they fear most is losing their job.

And that's where we have to recognize the power of our voice.

So yes, through voting, but it's also actually using our voice to hold them accountable.

And you just look at, okay, you've got those 200,000 people.

They all chip in 10 bucks, 15 bucks.

This is how members of Congress have lost their jobs because so many of them, however and wherever they started, again, I've seen this firsthand, how so many of them kind of go away from maybe the grassroots that they came from.

Man, you're not lying.

And they're...

the vast majority of their campaign war chests now come from lobbyists, corporate lobbyists.

And that's who they spend their breakfast, lunches and dinners with and who they spend their, you know, sometimes their vacations with.

And that's where their attention is focused, you know, really forgetting, oh, well, you know, it's the voters and the people who are the ones who actually hired me here.

And it is the power that we have, but it's only powerful if we use it.

Well, I can tell you how it didn't happen to me.

Please share.

Well, first of all, you know, when you have people who go in...

Some of them may think, well, if I just play the game, then I'll get to a place where I can actually make a difference.
