Last night
it was a democratic bloodbath
a lot of democratic legislators across the country
almost all of them in close races lost
but not everyone who was fighting for the right causes in the country lost
In fact some of the people who were fighting the hardest won
who were they?
well they were people supported by WOLF PAC
WOLF PAC is the group that has been formed to get money out of politics
We want to pass a constitutional amendment
Now people are worried, Oh my god the republicans control, the senate and the house
well on the national level you should be worried because...those guys.
make a living out of money in politics
people like Mitch McConnell
who actually loves citizens united and defended it
but theres a lot of republicans across the country who are at the state level who dont like....money
coming into their states whether its Bloomberg money Soros money or even Koch and Rove money
at the state level it turns out you can get an ammendment without washington at all
and thats exactly what WOLF PAC intends to do
now in some states we've had some good fortune
well of course that fortune was earned through alot of hard-work
including the states of Vermont and California that have already passed a resolution calling
for the convention to get us that amendment...so that we can end this corruption
that 95% of americans know exist...are sick of
So in Vermont we had someone help us..just a citizen!
HIs name was Dr. Steve Berry
and..he was a minister
and...uh
and he was a concerned citizen
who cared about what was happening in Vermont
we faced a obstacle there
There was some state legislators who were um...skeptical about a convention
skeptical about this resolution
and we were lucky and again
luck earned through hardwork
one of our workers in New Jersey Walker Greene..one of our leaders there
along with many other people who were doing a WOLF PAC attack in order to get this passed in Vermont
happened to reach Steve Berry just calling citizens in Vermont
and talked him into supporting this resolution
Steve Berry then did a herculean task of talking his legislators
Including Senator Sears into changing their minds and supporting our resolution
and thats why we won in Vermont!
now why do I tell you that story?
because you know what we decided
hey why not support the good guys?
we believe in carrot and sticks
and I'm gonna tell you about the sticks in a minute
but in this case wherever this flag is flown we take care of our own
So we asked Steve Berry to run for office
facing long odds you know...a tight race
very very tight as your gonna see in a second
so we decided hey you know what?
If Steve Berry's got our back we got his back!
we went and worked for him
we went to Vermont we had volunteers go to Vermont
at the very local level
and Steve Berry a regular citizen who cared about the issues...is now a state legislator in Vermont!
put one on the board for WOLF PAC!
Then we go to New Hampshire
In New Hampshire we had a great guy named Tim Smith who was a state legislator there
he introduced our resolution
again wherever this flag is flown we protect our own
So Tim Smith is in a tough re-election race
we went...we got volunteers..we got the WOLF PAC to go there
we supported him...Tim Smith re-elected
and now the margins...im gonna show you the margins in a second
but the most interesting case
a guy named Steve Valencourt
that I've been telling you about
he decided he was going to oppose our resolution
and back then...I talked about it when we lost in New Hampshire
honestly because of Steve Valencourt
Here's me explaining it back then
There's a totally out of control Republican representative in New Hampshire
now look there are republicans on our side in many states
enthusiastically supporting this legislation because they understand we gotta get money out of politics
and its corrupted our democracy
but apparently Representative Valencourt in New Hampshire is not one of them
so..he decided just before the vote was gonna go
that he would do a motion to table the resolution
now...when he did that he said
"look there's a bunch of more important matters pending and this issue doesn't rise to that priority"
well defeating Steve Valencourt rose to the level of priority for us when he did that
he wound up affecting the whole republican party and killing the legislation i'll explain that part here
now of course...people like representative Valencourt don't want to fix the government
they love the broken system!
and unfortunately his fellow republicans went along with it
and they tabled the resolution
so it was killed!
and I said at the end of that video many many months ago
hey we may wanna do something about this
watch
the Valencourts are the bad guys of the world
so....when we do good things and when we have progress I wanna celebrate it
and we do on the show
and we have guys impeding our progress
and its imporant they dont impede it anymore
he didn't win his election by much last time
and soon we'll be calling him former Representative Valencourt from New Hampshire
you can go ahead and call him former Representative Valencourt right now
cause we done got him
do you know what we did?
we moved into his district
literally
The executive director for WOLF PAC moved from Maryland not just to New Hampshire but to Valencourts district
because we made a decision
you come for us...no no no we come for you!
what did I say when we formed WOLF PAC!?!?!
I said were done running
they're not coming for us anymore
we're coming for them
we're not playing around
this is real politics
we came to his house
he was a six term incumbent
no more
clean up go home
let me show you how tight these races were
Steve Berry won by just 73 votes
in the cold both in Vermont and New Hampshire
we sent WOLF PAC seal team six
I'm not kidding...from all across the country
we poured into those states
while no one was looking while people are looking while people are worried about corporatist democrat x vs corporatist republican y
we where in there getting the results
that we needed!
Steve Berry said in his speech after the victory
clearly couldn't have done it without us
and we couldnt have done Vermont without him
that's how we get each others back
Tim Smith won by just 99 votes
but all wins happen because we worked really hard together
and finally Vaillancourt six term incumbent
defeated by 89 votes
ohh we worked hard
oh you shoulda have seen those guys
they went door to door
there were a lotta of sticks brought out
it was not an accident that Valiencourt lost
and he most certainly would not have lost
if we didnt have our entire team there
and by the way WOLF PAC members from all across the country
calling in
what we do is we get people inside those districts
to actually change their minds
you know whats called? Democracy!
thats how you're supposed to do it!
I'd like to tell you the last words former Representive Valiencourt heard in his career
WOLF PAC sends it's regards
