– I'm Carl Sciortino, and I'll never forget that conversation with my dad.
0:05 - 0:06

– That's me!
0:06 - 0:08

– Where I had to come out and tell him...
0:08 - 0:09

– Wait for this...
0:09 - 0:11

– ...that I was a Massachusetts liberal.
0:11 - 0:13

– And he's proud of it!
0:13 - 0:14

– Dad's in the Tea Party.
0:14 - 0:16

– Damn right!
0:16 - 0:17

– [laughs]
0:17 - 0:21

– It was bad enough, him picking on the big banks and corporations in the legislature.
0:21 - 0:23

– They weren't paying their fair share in taxes.
0:23 - 0:25

– And he wrote the buffer zone law!

I was kind of proud of that.
0:32 - 0:34

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

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

0:43 - 0:46

– There are some things you don't stop fighting for.
0:46 - 0:48

– [sighs]
0:48 - 0:49

– Also, the right to choose, equal pay for women,
0:49 - 0:52

and equal rights for... well, everybody.
0:52 - 0:55

– He's been like this for 35 years.
0:55 - 0:57
