[upbeat music] - Hi, my name is Phil Anderson and I'm running for United States Senate in Wisconsin.

I'm filming this today at my sweetie's family's cottage in Friendship, Wisconsin because it represents the three things I've been fighting for in politics since getting involved over 10 years ago, and those are peace, prosperity, and privacy.

Now, you may remember me as running as a libertarian before.

I'm still obviously a libertarian.

If you look at my website, the word libertarian's all over it.

But the theme of my campaign and what will say on the ballot after my name is "Disrupt the Corruption."

So why am I doing something different this time?

Basically, after being involved in politics for 10 years, I've come to the realization that the government doesn't work for anybody.

Not just libertarians or people that want smaller government or peace or, you know, more protection for their rights or whatever, but for nobody really.

Not even rank-and-file Democrats are truly being represented in Congress, because Congress is controlled by the two major parties, which are bought and paid for by the big moneyed interest in this country.

The lobbies, the unions, the whoever funnel money into the DNC and the RNC.

The leadership in Congress just tells the members what they're supposed to do, how they're supposed to vote.

If they don't comply, play along, and at least work with the corruption of the system, they get primaried out, they get lack of funding, they get lousy committee assignments, et cetera, and eventually they don't serve in Congress anymore.

That's why we have the situation that we do.

They don't respond to us.

The idea of America as being a place where people have rights, and when we need to decide things, we do so democratically, is completely broken.

It doesn't work anymore.

It almost doesn't exist.

And that's why I'm representing everybody in this race.

Every single person who's not one of the higher-ups in the Republican or Democratic parties or one of the big moneyed interests, I'm representing you, because you're not being heard and you're not being represented.

We have a massive corrupt system that is not what our founders intended, not what we believe it is, nor what it should be.

And the only way to fix it is two different things.

Number one, we need to overturn and get rid of the idea that corporations are people in as much as they have actual human rights.

Now, I'm not for getting rid of corporations entirely.

They're very useful in business and mitigating risk and those sorts of things.

But the idea that they're people with rights like free speech is ridiculous and should be insulting to everybody who takes the time to think about it.

Humans have rights, not organizations.

It's silly, but that is what allows all the corruption to happen.

For all these industries, lobbies, unions, whatever, to spend a ton of money into politics, overwhelming any one individual's ability to affect the system by their own free speech.

Number two.

Number two, and this is very important, we need to stop thinking election cycles only.

You're hearing it from everybody.

"Don't waste your vote.

"This is the most important election of our lifetime.

"We can't afford four more years of Trump.

We can't have four more years of Harris."

Hovde, Baldwin, whatever it might be.

That's all a trap.

It's not true.

It's all a trap, and it just perpetuates the current system, which is controlled by Democrats, Republicans, and their sponsors.

We need to think beyond that.

If you register your vote according to your conscience, according to the person that represents you in not only your short-term interest, but your long-term interest and your desire for the United States government to work and to be faithful to the Constitution, consider voting for somebody like me because even in a loss, that means something.

That means there's support for the ideas that I represent.

There's support for the idea that our government is broken and we need to fix it.

And right now, if you just give up your vote to the lesser of two evils, all you're doing is helping perpetuate a system that doesn't care about you, that doesn't listen to you, that doesn't respond to you, that hides things from you, that cheats you, that goes to wars on your behalf over lies, all of these things.

Let's fix it.

Consider voting for me on November 5.

Thank you.
