Did you know there are currently over 393 million guns in the United States? That's more guns than the country's human population. And for some reason, the NRA thinks we need more of them circulating around than what there already is. So far this year as of June 2021, there have been over 230 “mass shootings”. This is defined as shooting 4 or more people in a setting. To put that into perspective, there are only 52 full weeks in a year; How many shootings does that average out to each week? We should be tire of the violence. We should be tire of the pain. We should be tired of people in high-ranking positions with the ability to bring about change only offering their “thoughts and prayers”. While those are great, it's been time for them to put action behind their words and work to stop the senseless killings. It's time for us to hold them accountable, because Enough is Enough.We'd like to welcome you to our Seventh Episode of Authentic Filters: Gun Violence | Enough is Enough. On this episode we are joined by our special guest "Preston Nelson". He has an educational background in Criminal Justice and is a legal Gun Owner. If you've been impacted by gun violence or know someone who has been, our hearts go out to you. Our goal for this episode is to get the conversation going. There are so many sensible actions that can be put in place, but we as the American people have to demand, protest, and ultimately no let up on making these things happen. We'd appreciate you sharing this episode with family and friends, as well as heading over to Apple Podcast or wherever you listen to subscribe and leave a 5-star review.
Preston Nelson (Libertarian Party) is running for election to the U.S. House to represent Illinois' 8th Congressional District. He is on the ballot in the general election on November 3, 2020. Preston Nelson is a 30 year old Information Technology professional, amateur linguist, and inventor who hates what he sees happening in his government. Nelson was raised, first as a Christian, and second as a Republican. He has since forsaken the “republican” label, but he clings to his faith, and considers Christian morals as the foundation of his opposition to the Republicrat establishment. As a child, Nelson cheered when George Bush went after those bad guys in Iraq and Afghanistan, but as an adolescent, he saw through Bush’s war lies, considered politics hopeless, and stopped paying attention. As a young man, Nelson stumbled across the Libertarian Party (thanks to Ron Paul.) Learning that, compared to the D and R parties, Libertarians in Illinois required 10-times the number of people to sign their petition, just in order to have their names written on the ballot, and further learning that Republican lawyers filed suit against the Libertarian petitions every year in an attempt to nullify them, or at least waste the Libertarians’ time and money in court, Nelson was outraged, and immediately began working in Public Relations for the Libertarian Party of Illinois. Historically, Libertarian campaigns are a crap shoot, so in 2018, Nelson ran in the Republican Primary against incumbent U.S. Representative Mike Bost. Nelson focused his campaign on 3 issues: Foreign Policy Reform and Bringing Troops Home; Ending Corporate Factory-Farm Subsidies; Monetary Reform to Stop Endless Inflation and Currency Devaluation, and he won 17% of the Republican primary election vote, even while writing “Libertarian” on all of his campaign literature. This year, Nelson is running Libertarian, in a 2-way race with a incumbent Democrat. His issues remain the same: Ending decades-long wars which now only serve to hurt our global standing, while bankrupting the nation to enrich the Military Industrial Complex Letting people keep their own money, instead of taxing it to give to big agribusinesses which produce unhealthy food Boosting the American economy by balancing the budget, and protecting the Dollar from inflation and devaluation.
