Hi reddit. My local Congresswoman is a co-sponsor of CISPA and was going to run unopposed in the upcoming primary elections and so I decided to run against her. I got certified to be on the ballot last week.
Hi reddit, I'm a 27 year old redditor from Guam and I'm running for the US Congress.

We have a non-voting delegate to Congress but the delegate does get to propose legislation in Congress, add amendments to current legislation and co-sponsor legislation. Our current delegate, Madeleine Bordallo, added herself as a co-sponsor to CISPA in Mar 19, 2012.

This is the news article about me filing. I have a young staff of mostly other redditors and while I know it's a long shot, it's a small island and turnout can be as little as 12,000 for the primary. We're running a strong ground campaign (including hitting up my local reddit meetup) to get our message out there. I have the most amazing group of volunteers helping me out. In the short amount of time we've been in the race we've already managed to make a really strong impact.

I think until internet freedom becomes a real "voting issue" that drives voters to the polls, we won't ever be free from the attacks to an open internet like SOPA, PIPA and CISPA. I hope my challenge is just the start of driving the message home to Congress that you do not mess with the internet.
