I’m expecting another endorsement announcement in the coming days. But 3.14 Action Fund [https://314action.org/] is my first! 3.14 Action Fund [https://314action.org/] exists to help Democrats with math and science backgrounds get elected at all levels of government.

Resisting Surveys 5.19.26

Gun control has become one of the most polarized debates in America. I’m not interested in treating it like a tribal loyalty test. In this video, I explain why I won’t be filling out gun-control surveys from advocacy groups, where I actually stand on gun legislation, and why I believe we should spend more time addressing the causes of violence instead of endlessly dividing Americans into camps. I own firearms. I support some gun laws. Some recent laws don’t make much sense to me. But after forty years of this debate, the violence continues while the division gets worse. If we want less violence, we need stronger communities. Vic Meyers for Democracy [https://vicmeyersfordemocracy.com/] This is a public episode.

Liberty v Safety Pt 3: Resolve

In Part 3 of my Liberty vs. Safety series, I stop talking about the problem and start talking about solutions. For decades, lawmakers have known surveillance powers could be abused. The Church Committee warned about it. Congress reacted to it. Then over time, many leaders stopped treating liberty as something that needed protecting and started treating it like an inconvenience. I explain why I believe states must remove themselves from complicity with federal surveillance systems, what kind of legislation I would introduce in Colorado, and why the normal political strategy for passing legislation no longer works. We can keep doing what we’ve always done. Or we can do something different. Vic Meyers for Democracy [https://vicmeyersfordemocracy.com/] This is a public episode.

Liberty v Safety Part 2

For years, Americans were told government surveillance powers would only be used against dangerous threats. Then the Church Committee uncovered the truth. COINTELPRO targeted activists, anti-war groups, civil rights leaders, and Americans exercising First Amendment rights. The Senate investigation concluded that some officials believed national security placed them above the law. That warning matters even more in an era of AI surveillance, facial recognition, and mass data collection. This video is the first part of a series exploring liberty, safety, and whether modern lawmakers still understand the difference.
