A short spoken monologue (YouTube) in which the speaker expresses a lifelong commitment to supporting the underdog and argues for restoring foundational democratic principles: equal legal status, a government that provides a fair legal platform, and concern about inequality in legal outcomes driven by wealth and access to counsel.

As a passion. And I would say without tearing up here that I've always been for the underdog. And I don't know why, but I just feel like the average person out there now is the underdog. As I said earlier, the foundation was that we the people, had the power and that we had a new form of government which actually put us first and catered to our knees. Because I don't think the government should give us anything except a legal platform where we all had the ability to reach our own potential. That's what it should do. We had equal status under the law and the law was equal toward all. Some were favored over others. And of course, the today's system, if you got a lot of money and the right lawyer, you can escape almost anything where someone that's got to go to the DA because they can't afford a lawyer is probably going to get a much different verdict. So I digress. But I think that's where it starts, is that we have to get back to those basic principles and make sure everyone understands them.
