Chapter 65 Political Figures

"No, there is no need for war. The Rifle Association has freedom of speech. They are very powerful, but as long as we unite, our strength can be stronger." Barbara Burns waved his fist and said firmly, receiving a lot of applause.

In fact, she avoided the question raised by Wang Lei. The Rifle Association has too much influence. If it does not defeat them, the Gun Ban Act will not be passed by Congress.

The speech did not officially end until half past five, but Barbara Burns did not leave immediately, but stood in front of the podium to answer questions for enthusiastic audiences or sign their autographs.

Wang Lei and Barbara Melo walked out with the crowd who left the court. He suddenly felt someone patting his arm: "Hi, hello, are you Braddock's Rex?"

Wang Lei turned around and looked over. He was talking about a middle-aged man in his thirties and a little bald forehead. He had a smile on his face, which was very fake and professional.

Wang Lei nodded and stretched out his hand to the other party: "Yes, Rex. Wang, from Braddock, is very happy to know you."

"Oh - Hello, I'm Aloni Zober, I work in a consulting company and am studying for PMP at Carnegie Mellon. I'm going to become an excellent campaign manager." Zober smiled and shook hands with Wang Lei, and introduced himself.

Wang Leido glanced at Zuo: "So, are you here to learn about the election experience, not listening to speeches?"

"No, no, no, I have experience in running the campaign. I was a part of Thomas Murphy's campaign team and served in the Democratic Allegheny County branch. I am one of the heads of Gore's Allegheny County campaign office. I think Gore will successfully win the primary and enter the White House." Aloni Zober said enthusiastically.

Thomas Murphy is the current mayor of Pittsburgh, his second term.

They said, walking out of the classroom with the flow of people and standing in the clearings on the side of the road, waiting for Barbara Burns.

"I think so too." Wang Lei said with a smile. Gore's image is positive and healthy, and he is also significantly ahead of his opponents within and outside the party in the polls. There is indeed great hope of winning the election.

The two chatted casually for a few more words, and Sabuki suddenly said seriously: "Rex, I must say that you have a great future, but as a politician, you must pay attention to your own words."

"I mean, even if you support gun ban, you should not say it in public, as it will be bad for you."

Wang Lei couldn't say good about Zoe's feelings. The other party was like a politician, but he couldn't say he was disgusted. After all, he was very enthusiastic. He smiled and said, "Did I say anything? In fact, I really long to own a rifle, but every time I hear a campus shooting, my classmates and I are very worried whether someone would suddenly break into our campus with a gun..."

"You know, that's terrible."

"Yes, I feel very sad about it, but it was just an accident. Not everyone would kill people with a gun." Yaroni Zobu shook his head and said in a deep tone.

"Of course, whether guns should be banned, everyone will have their own opinions, and it is difficult to convince the other party."

Yaroni Zober obviously was reluctant to debate this issue with Wang Lei, and he quickly changed the topic: "I just want to remind you that as a politician, you must be cautious about topics that may affect your political prospects, otherwise, no matter how many years have passed, someone will find out your past and attack you."

"Thank you, but I never worry that others know my position." Wang Lei said with a smile.

"Ah, I know, my heart is selfless and the world is wide." Sabuki touched his nose awkwardly: "But our enemies will not have any scruples, so sometimes we have to pay attention to some methods."

"You are right, I think I will pay attention." Wang Lei had to admit that Zoe was right. This was a worse topic.

Yaroni seemed to realize this, and he smiled and clapped his hands: "Politics is really a boring topic. We won't talk about this anymore. Rex, you like guns, so how about we make an appointment and go hunting together?"

Wang Lei was moved, but he shook his head and said, "This is a good idea, but I'm afraid I don't have time. You know, I have to go to school and deal with the affairs in the town."

"That's so regretful." Yaroni shrugged, not knowing whether he was really regretful or secretly relieved.

At this time, Barbara Burns finally walked out of the classroom, and she was surrounded by several assistants and enthusiastic listeners. Barbara Mello stepped forward and greeted her. The two Barbara hugged each other enthusiastically, and then walked over together.

"Oh, hello, the famous Rex, I support your approach very much. The government should be as streamlined as possible, not the other way around." Barbara Burns greeted Wang Lei with a smile and warmly gave a gift.

Wang Lei expressed his gratitude to Burns for his support, and he also said with a smile: "I also support your view on gun ban. We cannot watch the tragedy happen without being indifferent. Of course, I am a gun enthusiast. I think we can find a way that can not only protect the rights of gun holders, but also reduce gun violence."

"I hope so, I think so too." Barbara Burns said with a smile, and then greeted Aroney Zoe, who had known each other.

"Those bitch lobbyists and Republicans," Barbara Mello said.

Barbara Burns then introduced her assistant to Wang Lei, and then they went to a nearby restaurant together, each ordered a fast food, and then went to the Tuesday Music Club to attend the evening fundraising concert.

"Rex, are you a Democratic Party?" Barbara Burns asked casually after taking a sip of the soup.

Wang Lei shook his head: "Not yet, but I'm going to join."

"Very good, your choice is right, the Democrats are more inclusive and responsible to the people, you can register at the Democratic branch in Braddock and participate in more events in Pittsburgh, and you have a great political future." Burns said with a smile.

Wang Lei nodded, forked a meatball with a fork, put it in his mouth, and after eating it, he spoke again: "I can do it. I haven't participated in any party activities yet. Should I buy an entrance ticket or donate some money to Gore?"

"We have free admission tickets. The event called on everyone to donate at least 25 US dollars to Gore, but it is not mandatory. You don't have any income yet, so you can't donate it." Yaroni Zobe ate a piece of potato and shook his head.

"I think I have to make some money as soon as possible!" Wang Lei shrugged. He was indeed short of money, but participating in political activities requires money. Now he is beginning to understand those vulnerable groups, and it is indeed difficult for them to make their own voice politically.

Yaroni also made a suggestion: "Rex, you have a good reputation in Pittsburgh. I think you can help Gore and raise funds, and maybe you can get miraculous results."

"Oh, I don't think I don't have that ability yet." Wang Lei shook his head and did not agree. He didn't want to tie the Democratic Party and Gore so quickly, and he didn't know other candidates.

After dinner, there was still some time before eight o'clock. Everyone decided to rush to the club in advance and meet with the event organizers. There was already someone outside the club department lined up. Wang Lei followed Barbara Burns and the others, but did not go through the main entrance, but walked in through the back door.
