Experiencing Interruptions?

BETO, A New Day

Beto O'Rourke was making a run for president in 2018. After seeing a post that Richard Linklater was holding a competition for a 30 second commercial to support him, I decided to enter so that I could portray him who I believe him to be -- a warm and caring husband who cares for others, including the injustices of medical treatment in Veterans Hospitals for men and women who servied in the military and were badly injured in body and in mind in service to our country.
