– I'm Carl Sciortino, and I'll never forget that conversation with my dad.

– That's me!

– Where I had to come out and tell him...

– Wait for this...

– ...that I was a Massachusetts liberal.

– And he's proud of it!

– Dad's in the Tea Party.

– Damn right!

– [laughs]

– It was bad enough, him picking on the big banks and corporations in the legislature.

– They weren't paying their fair share in taxes.

– And he wrote the buffer zone law!

– To protect women entering abortion clinics from harassment.

– It's gone all the way to the supreme court!

I was kind of proud of that.

– But here's the one that drives him crazy.

– He wants to go to Congress to take on the NRA and the Tea Party!

– I won't give up on an assault weapons ban.

– Or universal background checks, or banning high-capacity magazines...

– There are some things you don't stop fighting for.

– [sighs]

– Also, the right to choose, equal pay for women,

and equal rights for... well, everybody.

– He's been like this for 35 years.

– That's why I approve this message!

And I still love you, Dad.

– Me too, son.
