I filed paperwork to official terminate my candidacy for US Congress.

Obviously not an ideal outcome, but I have no regrets. I’m proud of what my volunteers and I accomplished, what we learned and the community we built.

My sincere thanks to everyone who supported me and the campaign.

They fired me for running for Congress. I'm running anyway -- because if the people in power won't sacrifice, the rest of us have to.

Why doesn’t my representative get a say in whether or not we take military action against another country?

What’s the ironclad rationale here?
