## Resource

In this episode of Finding Freedom, host John Odermatt sits down with Tom Joseph, founder of America's Main Street Party, to explore a revolutionary approach to political reform that could fundamentally change how Americans choose their congressional representatives. Tom shares his journey from frustrated business owner during COVID to political innovator, explaining how he discovered a legal loophole that allows everyday citizens to bypass the money-corrupted primary system through a technology-driven "people's primary."
