I met Peter Jacob at the 2016 Democratic National Convention where we were both New Jersey state delegates for Bernie Sanders. At the time, Peter was also a first time candidate for New Jersey’s seventh Congressional district. That November, he earned 43% of the vote against a three time Republican incumbent, Leonard Lance. Peter is now in his second campaign against Lance.

A conversation with Gavin Rozzi, creator of OPRAmachine (and Ocean County Politics and JerseyLeaks) and one of OPRAmachine's most active users, Patrick Duff. Duff is an investigative journalist and the author of the recent Citizens' Media TV #StarbucksWhileBlack article (https://citizensmedia.tv/2018/04/26/starbuckswhileblack/).

We discuss the magic of OPRAmachine and their experiences with public records requests. Duff then tells us about his upcoming hearing against Camden City, where he his trying to get some justice for Martin Luther King Jr. Duff describes how Stockton University is actively working against him, and how the New Jersey State NAACP is standing with him. (This interview was recorded on Wednesday, April 25th, and the hearing has since occurred. The court has ruled almost entirely in Duff's favor.)

Here is the entire OPRAmachine request thread as background (https://opramachine.com/request/planning_meeting_minutes_and_age#comment-66).

Disclosure: I am an administrator of both OPRAmachine and JerseyLeaks, and I donate monthly to Gavin Rozzi's efforts (you should, too: https://www.patreon.com/gavinrozzi).

Geoff Ginter of Real Progressives and Jeff Epstein of Citizens’ Media TV talk about wanting to teach Modern Monetary Theory to a world that doesn’t even know its a subject, let alone a critical one. About approaching those who don’t want to be approached, and those who confidently believe that we are completely and fundamentally wrong.
