Good morning East Illinois!

This is Skeeter T in the
morning and if you are just
joining us

we've got controversy folks.

The new congressional candidate
Franklin Baumann making waves.

Introducing himself with a
bang, making statements.

Give me that statement Johnny.

Alright thank you Johnny.
Here's the statement.

I am on a mission of
purification

to exile all evil doers,

the drug users, the immoral, we
do not want you.

Wow, what do you think callers?

Is this the voice of your
district?

We got Casey from Champagne.

You're on with Skeeter T in the
morning.

Look as long as he brings the
jobs back, he can hate whoever

he wants. I don't care, just put
me back to work.

Alright thank you Casey.
Now we got Brenda from Moline.

Welcome to Skeeter T in the
morning.

You know what it's about time
someone just said what we've

all been thinking.

The world would be a better
place without all those

filthy people. I don'’t
understand, what'’s wrong

with just saying the truth?

Thank you Brenda, now we've got
Cliff from Urbana,

welcome to Skeeter T in the
Morning.

Skeeter this guy gives
Christians a bad name.

I am just as Christian as
he is and I don'’t believe

that anyone should be exiled.

As Christians we're supposed
accept and love everyone.

Well folks we certainly got
a debate this morning.

We'’ll take a break for a minute
we'’ll be back

You need me to pick you up
after school?

It's alright, Willie's got me
after practice.

Hey remember catch the
ball with your hands okay,

not your body, your hands.

I got it dad,

oh and good luck on your job
interview.

Remember to smile, and don't
be grumpy.

Okay folks before we get back
to the angry politicians,

I just got a piece of good
news in local sports,

the new state rankings just
came in and guess who is

sitting pretty at number five.

Your undefeated Northfield
Lions.

Under the leadership of
coach Whitey Peters, your

lions are looking prime for
another state championship.

As an alum and the voice of
the lions,

I am proud of this
school, and this team.

Go Lions, Go Lions, Go Lions.

Hey we need some third team
work.

Let's get in there come on.

Bellafiore get in at flanker.

Come on kid let's get some work.

Hey we gotta pick the tempo
up let'’s go!

We'’re looking for a state
championship here!

Blue 32, Blue 32, set hut!

Whooo. You feel that Tebow?

Oh how did that hit taste Tebow
It taste like pain?

Nah dude it taste like pain
with on sprinkles top.

Randy let us pray.

Lord, please grant mini Tebow
the wisdom

to quit while he's ahead.

It breaks my heart to have to
keep laying him out

on a daily basis. In Jesus name
I pray.

Amen.

Dude, that looked like it stung.

Yeah, it stung my ego more than
anything.

Wow.

Did Jackie see me get hit?

Oh we all saw that bro.

She looked concerned?

Oh it was awful,

she was devastated, she's
falling apart man.

Mm Mm Mm. Well look at the
bright side.

What's the bright side?

I don't know, but people always
say to look at it. Wow.

- Bellafiore!

I'll be right back.

Alright man... wow.

Since your unemployment
ran out, you'’ve only been out

on a total of two job
interviews.

We are a month behind on our
mortgage Pete, I... I can'’t do
this by myself.

You are acting like
the world is over flowing with

good work, it'’s not. What do yo
want me to do?

I understand your frustration,
but it'’s no excuse to just

throw your hands in the air
and give up!

As if I chose to be laid off?

I know you didn'’t choose it,
but the other men who got

laid off the police force
went out and got jobs.

They didn'’t leave it to their
wives

to support their
families alone. I...

Hey.

Hey... How was practice today
champ?

Eh you know, just another day
on the third string.

Well you keep going after it
son. Don't quit.

I just wanna get into one game.
I want my Rudy moment.

Alright go get washed up for
dinner Rudy.

You tell your son not to quit,

you should follow your own
advice.

Say what you want, but don't
undermine me in front of Steve.

- I simply can'’t shoulder
all of the responsibility Pete!

Our family is falling behind!

We are... I need my husband. I
need my husband to help me.

Honey I have been here
okay, I've been working my tail

off to try and get things done.

Really..

I've been calling
friends, I've been trying

to get.

Well whatever you are
doing is obviously not enough

because no one is helping me..

You have no idea what
I've been doing. I'm trying to

be a man, I'm trying to provide
for this family!

Cookie how are the grits?
What's up biscuit?

What up Gravy.

What's up fellas?

Grab those plates and start
laying out those pancakes.

Willy where are the extra
pancakes?

Seriously. Why does breakfast
have to be at 8am?

What is wrong with a 10 am
Saturday brunch?

Yo lazy bones. Bacon duty.

Yes. Make some for me.

What was that Willy?

Nothing.

Come on down guys, Mark big guy,
I know you're ready.

I'’m ready.

Alright ya'’ll before we partake
in the grub,

remember the lord'’s love.

Not quite a rhyme Trev, but uh
solid effort.

Alright Trev, lead the way.

Dear Lord. It'’s easy to
focus on what we don'’t have,

let'’s take a moment and focus
on what we do have.

We have a sample of your
bounty, and are lucky enough

to come together under this
roof of love and share in it.

In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Amen!

Let's eat!

Some eggs, Brenda we have your
favorite, cinnamon pancakes.

So your favorite princess is
Cinderella huh Camille?

Yeah...

Well I think Cinderella has
nothing on you Princess Camille.

What look at that. Good morning
Camille. Thank you.

I don'’t get to see that look
on my daughter'’s face as much

as I'’d like to. Thank you.

Well thank you for sharing
her spirit with us.

Means a lot to us Freddie.

- In 2 Corinthians we are told,

"We walk by faith, not by
sight."

In this life our eyes can
lead us in many many ways,

- down many suspect paths,
but if we are driven by faith...

Yo, Is Jackie looking prettier
these days or what?

How can perfect get more
perfect?

Dude, are you kidding me? You're
staring a hole through her.

She'll be able to feel that.

Shhh, Shhh

- Now, I would like to welcome
Mr. Franklin Baumann,

and his wife Helen to our faith
community.

Thank you. Thank you.

Mr. Baumann, do you have some
words?

Thank you Pastor Jones,
appreciate it.

First off I'’d like to say,

we are so happy to be
welcomed in this congregation.

I am honored to have the
chance to earn your trust,

as the legendary congressman
Louis Reams

is going to be stepping down
after 36 years of honest

service to this country.

I wonder why Congressman Reams
is stepping down.

Look at him. The dude is older
than baseball.

Hey. Shhh. Keep it down.

Also I'd like to say that next
Sunday.

Saturday.

Sorry that'’s right, next
Saturday we are going to

be throwing an event in
the park,

and I welcome you all to come,
and I look forward to meeting

each and every one of you face
to face so I can figure out

a way to better serve you.
So thank you.

Well I can't officially endorse
you sir,

but everyone can go if they
like.

Thank You.

Dude... Dude!

What?

Man, we got to help you with
that staring problem.

Like you'’re not smooth with it.

Over there looking like
"The Shining."

Hey Jackie. Are you okay?

I'm sorry, who are you?

Oh, I'm sorry, you just looked
upset. I was just concerned.

Why? I don't know you.

You're right, I'm sorry. I hope
you're okay though.

You're nothing.

This team would be so much
better if you'd just quit.

RED 17! Red 17! Ten Hut!

Yo Tebow, stay away from Jackie.

I can't believe Jackie didn't
even know my name.

I gotta do something bold.

Yeah like what?

I don't know, what if I just
ask her out?

What? Just ask out the most
beautiful girl in school?

Are you serious?

It is here and all over the
place.

It's not all over the place

You know, I knew you would be a
problem.

How have I been a problem?

You always leave your trash
mess against the wall.

We share this alley, and you
just let your trash pile up.

Sir, I apologize.

We feed a lot of people here,
and we have a lot of trash.

I don'’t run the schedule to
the sanitation department.

You people have an excuse for
everything don't you?

I'm sorry, but um, what did you
mean by, "you people?"

That wasn't a race thing, one
of my best friends is black.

Oh that's funny, I didn't see
your I know a black guy badge.

It wasn't a race thing. Stop
turning things around.

What did you mean by you people?

Just keep your trash in order,

and respect the town you live
in.

Hey, you alright man?

Yeah I'm fine.

Alright Biscuit, Willy let's
get back to work.

Come on man, let's go in.

- My opponent wants
you to be okay with abortion,

My opponent wants you to be
okay with homosexuality,

and I say cast those people out

Exile them. The father of all
lies, Satan. He is working his

way into your homes through the
message of my opponent.

My opponent wants you to believe

that God doesn't exist in your
homes

Tell the truth.

- And if that's not the work
of satan, I don't know what is.

Maybe the reason my opponent
doesn'’t see these things is

because he doesn'’t believe
that God exists.

Make no mistake, we are in a
war.

Who will fight with me? Who
will fight with me?!

- So that guy wants me to feel
ashamed about my choices?

- He can't tell me what to do
with my body.

Honey, God is telling you what
to do with your body.

The reason you feel shame is
because you know what you did.

Excuse me, I know you did not
just say that. What'd I do?

Well you brought it up, I'm
just saying...

You don't..but you don't even
know me,

so how would you know what I did
or didn't do?

I'm telling you what God doesn't
like,

and that is taking people's
lives.

-And what doesn't God like.

Now I know that some of you out
there are saying,

taking a stand on moral issues
such as abortion and

homosexuality, is one thing, but
what about jobs

People think fiscal issues and
moral issues

are two separate things,

and I'm here to tell you that
they are one in the same

The loss of work, is a
by-product of a loss of faith.

We cannot have a thriving
society if it is

under the influence of Satan.

It's not gonna work people.
This is a war.

This is war, make no mistake,
who will fight with me?

Who will fight with me on this
one!?

We can't have a thriving society

if it is under the influence of
Satan.

Now if we cast out that
influence, the work will return.

So Satan stole all the jobs?

Franklin Baumann says, that his
influence

is stealing the will
to fight for what we deserve.

Hm, well um, I saw a stocking
job at the A&P,

and an assistant manager at
Walmart in the paper.

What, Satan didn't want those
jobs?

I was a police officer, okay? I
was a respected man.

I deserve more than a job at the
A&P. God's will...

Do not bring God's will into
this, this has nothing to do

with God, this has to do with
your pride.

What's up brother?

Dude I think my parents are
falling apart.

They fight all the time.

Dude, parents fight, it's okay.

Yeah but, fighting to find an
answer, and fighting

because you don't like each
other anymore

are two completely different
things, I

- The angel has fallen at last.

Jackie did you change your
middle name?

Jackie, are you okay?

What, you're dating Tebow now?

I don't know you! Just leave me
alone, okay.

Alright everyone that's about
enough.

Let's get back to class.

Disperse.

Hey Hey Hey boy, whooo Jesus,
better pray boy, pray.

Pastor Basil,

I'd like to volunteer to clean
this up during study hall.

That shouldn'’t be on there for
more than a minute.

Why would we volunteer to do
that?

I didn't ask you to help.

Yes yes Pastor, we would just
love to uh, to clean it, please.

That is very thoughtful of you
boys.

I'll make sure Glen gets you the
proper supplies, thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks.

I'm not helping you because I
like you right now

It's the Christian guilt.

I appreciate you helping me out.

Oh no problem this is so much
fun.

Why you gotta be like that?

Be like what?

I'm taking up janitorial
services after this you know.

Hey, get away from there!

What are you doing, adding to
the filth?

Oh, you're cleaning it?

Yeah, and buffing it by the way
Miss.

You know, how 'bout a
thank you, you know, gracias

Yo Willie don't you have
practice today?

No.

Yo, you got practice.

No I don't.

You have practice.

I got... Oh Oh yeah, I got that
on thing though.

Cool.

Yeah I'm almost done here, um...

Look, I know who you are.

Huh?

I know I said before I didn't
know you, but of course I do.

Sorry about that.

It's okay.

No it's not okay.

Now you're probably never gonna
wanna talk to me again.

Yeah, I think the evidence is
showing otherwise.

Thanks Steve Bellafiore.

Wow, you know my whole name?
Now it's getting serious.

Anytime Jackie Burns.

You know my whole name too?

Are you kidding me, you're so
beautiful

we only call you by your full
name.

It's a respect thing.

Alright well, I gotta get back
to class. See ya, bye..

Dude, what happened?

Dude, She touched my shoulder.

She touched you shoulder?

Shhhh.

- She touched my shoulder!
- She touched your shoulder!

That's tight.

At left tackle, Tyler Sampson.
At linebacker, Stan Squarlow.

And at running back, Randy
Goodwin.

And now three year starter, all
state selection at linebacker

and tight end, our team
captain, Wes Randolph.

And at back up flanker, Steve
Bellafiore.

Whoooo Go Big Steve. Whooo.
Whoo.

Not awkward at all.

These are your fighting Lions.

Now let's get that state
championship!

We have a special treat tonight.

A new voice in our community.
The nominee for the

congressional seat of our
district. Franklin Baumann.

Alright, thank you coach, thank
you good luck.

Guys, good luck, good luck.

Alright put her there.

Hey, let's here it for these
Lions huh?

Let's hear it for
these Lions. Come on.

Looking around this room. It's
easy to see what's important.

Family, Friends, Community.

And it's also easy to
understand how important it is

to protect these things. This
is why I started a war

against the forces who would
hopefully undermine and

deteriorate this community.

And I wanna know, do you wanna
join me.

Do you wanna fight?

Do you people wanna fight
against the liars?

Do you wanna fight
against the unjust?

Do you wanna fight against the
evildoers?

Or the sexually immoral?

The corrupt, the sodomites,
the lustful, the greedy,

the gluttonous, We must...

Dude, do you ever shut your
mouth?

Sorry, did you say something?

Yeah, I said do you ever shut
your mouth?

Bellafiore, that's enough.

Hey, Hey, Coach, Coach... it's
okay.

A spirited young man,
obviously wants to

enter into a dialogue, what's
on your mind son? Come on.

I uh... think that the way you
frame your message is the

reason why a lot of people
aren't hearing the true

Christian message,
and I think that...

That's a young man that is very
fired up,

and obviously ready for a game
huh?

What do you say about the game
huh!!

Bellafiore, are you kidding me
with the disrespect?

Coach, I...

I don't wanna hear any excuses.

Now I know you're normally a
stand up guy,

but my hands are tied on this
one.

You're not dressing first game.

Are you serious?!

I don't wanna hear anymore
about it.

Now everybody knows your name.

You embarrassed me and your
mother.

Do you know how that makes us
look?

I didn't mean to embarrass you
guys,

but you have to admit,
that dude is ridiculous.

He is the voice of this
district son.

He is an important man, and you
made us look like

we don'’t know how to be parents.

Well I'm sorry for the way I
made you guys look.

I'm not sorry for what I said
though.

Of course you are.

No I'm not.

He's talking about moral wars,
are you buying that?

Son things are bad, okay? I
know you can't see that,

but Franklin, he has a plan to
make things better.

And what's his plan dad?

Hate everyone that sins, and
we'll get the jobs back?

He's a moron, and if you
believe what he's saying,

I can't even respect you
anymore.

Mom, I'm sorry. Okay, I didn't
mean to embarrass you guys.

I just can't stand listening

to the hate coming out of that
dude's mouth anymore.

I never asked you to apologize.
Good night.

Jen, Leviticus tells us that,

"If a man should lie with a
male as with a woman

both have committed an
abomination and shall surely

be put to death, their blood is
upon them."

- It's not just
about the homosexuals,

it's about all the sexually
immoral.

Baummann is right. They should
all be exiled.

Franklin Baumann
speaks the truth.

To all you freaks out there,

you're time is up. The time of
righteousness is now.

Revelation tells us that,

"Outside are the dogs and the
sorcerers,

and the sexually immoral,
the murderers and idolaters"

Yo Yo, where you going freak?

Hey excuse me Franklin Baumann
says you're dirt man.

I don't care.

- I stand by Franklin,
our town can't be corrupted by

these people.

- Them gays have no
right being in our town.

- Do you wanna
fight against the evil doers?

He is the voice of
this district son.

That if a man
should lay with a male as with

a woman, both have committed an
abomination.

- He is an important
man, and you made us look like

we don't know how to be parents.

- He is the voice of this
district son.

Dude, the school library on
Saturday afternoon?

Are you kidding me?

Why is this thing
even open on Saturday?

Willy, I'm gonna run for
Congress.

Get out of here.

I'm serious dude.

Alright man first thing we
gotta see

is how old you gotta be to run
for Congress.

I turn 18 in 2 weeks, so
hopefully 18 is the number.

You do understand we could have
looked all of that up

on the internet right?

They have this fascinating
thing called Google,

Yahoo, BING!

Yeah but doesn't it feel like
you're more serious about it

if you take the time to crack
open a book, Willy?

No, just seems less efficient.

What?

Gotta be 25 to run for Congress.

There goes that dream.

What if people write me in.
People can write anyone in.

But if you're not old enough to
hold office,

you can't really win.

But if enough people write me
in...

Dude come on. How many people
are gonna write you in?

You don't have the most

sparkling political career thus
far.

I lost one election.

Steve, you placed third in the
election

for class treasurer freshman
year.

Frank Long got second, and he
has chronic halitosis.

I know.

Steve, look I love you man, I
do,

but you can not win a
Congress race.

The point isn't really to win.

Then what's the point?

I want people to hear a
different voice.

I want them to hear a voice with
no hate in it.

Well... we'll just
campaign on You Tube baby!

You Tube, are you sure that's
gonna be enough?

Uh, have you heard of Justin
Bieber?

Okay Okay. The key to any good
campaign,

is a quality commercial.
Alright?

This digital camera, it's a
little dated,

it's a little dated, but it gets
the job done.

So we need to make people think
that you actually love,

I mean love going to church and
praying.

I do love going to church.

Alright well that's good for
you so,

so this should be a piece of
cake for you.

So when you get up there I need
you to turn around, and give me

that, that faith face, inspired
by God!

Can you give me an action?

Yes, absolutely, okay. Action.

Alright stop. Inspirational
face.

Whoo, yes, perfect, yes, that's
it. That's it bro, we got it.

- Yes dude, make me think you're
reflecting on important things.

-What would Jesus do Steve?

Do you want me to answer that?

- Dude no, I just need your face
to reflect that question.

- Yes, Yes, Yeah that's the stuff
right there man, whoo..

Alright cut, we can't use that.

Why?

You don't run cool enough for a
slow motion running shot.

I don't run cool enough?

Nah, you need to run more like
Thor.

You kinda run like Daffy Duck.

But it's okay, just say the
line we talked about.

Alright man. I'll have this cut
by Monday.

Alright.

Yeah. Steve Bellafiore for
Congress. Doesn't sound bad.

Alright later man.

Later bro.

Hey.

Hey.

Listen, I just wanted to say
sorry about last night,

I shouldn't have disrespected
you like that.

No that's my fault.

I'm failing you and your mother.

Are you and mom in trouble?

I don't know. You know it's,
it's hard to be a man

for your wife, when you don't
feel like a man at all.

"The lord is near to the
brokenhearted,

and saves the crushed in
spirit." Psalm 34:18.

You know, if it makes you feel
any better,

you're still my hero. You just
gotta remember why.

Alright we shot the video, got
the flyers,

next thing we do is announce
your candidacy over the PA.

Tell people we're going to
have a rally after school.

We're gonna have a rally?

Yeah man,

we gotta let people know why
they should vote for you.

So what's the boom box for?

Oh, you'll see.

Hello Pastor, working hard I
see.

Can we make a little
announcement?

Announcement about what?

Steve here is running for
Congress,

we want to announce his
candidacy.

Sounds good to me.

Yes!

Whoo, good deal, here we go.

What is this?

It's your script.

My script?

Yeah man just read that, I
wrote that last night.

What is up with that music?

Man you know it's dope just
read it.

Hello Northfield High, it's me
your good pal Steve Bellafiore,

and I am officially announcing
my candidacy

to be your voice in Congress.

I know this sounds crazy, but

You've heard Franklin Baumann
talk about how to separate from

everyone, but my mission is to
bring us all together.

Join me after school today, and

Northfield Christian Academy.

You have all heard about the
war my opponent is waging.

Well I'm on a mission. A
mission of change.

Franklin Baumann talks about
casting out.

He talks about exclusion.

But we are all equal. We are
all one through Jesus.

Yo Tebow, nobody cares.

Did anybody take the flyers at
least?

Yeah two, well one. One just
used it to spit out her gum.

Hey uh, can I get a postcard?

Sure pal, here you go.

This is really cool.

If you guys need my help just
let me know.

Thanks Francis, we'd love to
have you.

Cool, I'll see you guys
tomorrow.

See ya, Hey make sure you like
us on Facebook.

Totally.

We have a Facebook page?

Of course we do.

What kind of campaign manager do
you think I am?

Alright bro. First campaign
ad. You ready for some magic?

Faith. Understanding.

-Virtue. Belief

-Thoughtfulness. Willingness.

-Determination. Fortitude.

- Franklin Baumann wants to tell
you what is wrong with the

- world. Steve Bellafiore wants
to tell you what's right.

- Write in Steve Bellafiore for
15th District Congress.

- Vote Steve Bellafiore, the
honest choice.

I'm Steve Bellafiore, and I
approve this message.

That was great, but again with
the running music,

and now you add a Morgan Freeman
voice over?

A. I do quality Freeman, don't
hate.

B. Every campaign needs a
theme song.

Look it was this music or "Jesus
Take the Wheel."

And, Boom it's out there. Now
we let it spread like wildfire,

and get back on the campaign
trail. Let's go!

The people here are the
Reason why I'm doing this.

Vote Steve Bellafiore!

Franklin wants to divide people,

but the Bible tells us
to bring them in. John says,

"Whoever comes to me, I will
not cast out,"

Choose God, and he'll do the
rest.

Vote for Steve Bellafiore!!

But it's up to us. If we can
stomp out this message of hate,

then we can pass on a new
message to the next generation.

Help me spread this message.

The Flyer! Hey would you like a
flyer Jackie?

Vote for Steve! There you go
man, take 'em, take em all.

Vote for Steve Bellafiore!

Okay let's see how the
commercial is tracking.

It's official. No one cares.

This Stinks.

Yo Tebow, sure you don't wanna
run for lunch lady?

They're holding elections in the
kitchen.

So I guess we call it then?

Yeah man, we gave it a good run.

Maybe we made some people think.

No, we can't quit. This is
important.

Yeah, but no one is listening.

So does this mean we can't hang
out anymore?

Dude, Just because the
campaign's over

doesn't mean the friendship is.

Yeah man.

Cool.

Alright you guys, I'm gonna go.

Yeah, I got math to do. Good
stuff, see you guys around.

You guys hear about my campaign?

What are you campaigning for?

I was running for Congress.

I know I can't officially
hold office, but I feel

like Franklin's saying
the wrong things.

I wanted to be a different
option for people.

Son, it's better to not ruffle
any feathers.

No sense in going after
something that can't work.

I'm not even hungry anymore.

Pete, it breaks my heart to say
this, but if you don't

find the man I married in there
somewhere soon,

our vow is not gonna be enough.

Dear Lord.

You didn't make me the kind of
person that gives up.

Give me the strength, just
give me a sign,

that this is in your plan.

In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

- But in this day and age
Mr. Baumann,

homosexuals are universally
accepted.

- Aren'’t you worried you'll
come across as archaic?

Paula, there is acceptance, and
there is glorification.

You look on TV, this life style,
which,

by all accounts the good book
tells us is an abomination,

is being glorified.

Glorification is breeding
acceptance.

Now why should I accept
something that the Bible

tells me is wrong. This is a
war.

Yes, you keep bringing up this
war.

Who are you fighting? What
is this war you speak of?

This is a war of purity. This
is a war of cleansing.

This is a war that would
separate us from the people

who would infect us with their
evil doings.

We must exile these
people, the homosexuals,

the sexually immoral.

Anyone who doesn't adhere to
God's message,

I say cast them out. And the
only way to true moral

strength is to not be corrupted
by these wicked, vile people.

I'm sorry, I must stop you
there. Exiled? Exiled to where?

You can't just uproot people
you don't like.

Exiled from our consciousness.

Man I can't take this guy's
voice any more.

He's grinding on my last nerve.

Amen.

I see your Amen, and raise you
a hallelujah.

Francis, was that your first
joke?

Congratulations buddy, not bad.

It's been 17 years, and I
finally got a winner.

Whoa, that's two!

In a row.

Two.

That's right, That's right...

So, "you people," had nothing
to do with race did it?

You're uh...

You're gay?

Do people know?

Most folks know, but they don't
wanna know.

As long as I keep it out of
their face, I exist fine.

Just say what you wanna say.

Trev, I don't know what to say,
I'm just trying to understand.

Understand what?

I don't know.

Have you ever thought maybe...

Have you ever tried going to
church?

Church, what does that have to
do with anything?

I don't know, maybe getting
closer to God will...

Steve, I have God in my heart,
but I can't walk up into any

church if people know about me,
and you know that.

I have no faith community to
share in. I mean so many times

Billy and I talked about going
to New York or LA where no one

would care either way, but I
love the people in

this community, so I can't
bring myself to go.

Guess that makes me an idiot
huh?

So what now biscuit? You seem
perplexed.

Trev. I'm just... just really
trying to understand.

I've never known anyone who
was...

Oh Steve, you know people, they
just know they can't tell you.

I just wish there was a way
that you and Billy didn't have

to feel silenced, and alone.
That part seems wrong.

My whole campaign was about
including everyone,

and I know that's a good thing,
but no one listened.

Why is everything so difficult!?

Welcome to adulthood.

Oh Camille, doo doo, doo, doo,
doo, doo..

It's great how you take care of
her.

You kidding me? My daughter
takes care of me

far more than I take care of
her.

How do you mean?

My daughter she sees the world.
She does, and She knows what I

am. And she still smiles and
accepts me regardless.

That's how she takes care of me.

She can't say it like we say
it, but

she sees a great big
beautiful world, don't you.

A lot of beauty out there.

That's perspective right?

She sees this great big
beautiful world,

and I'm trying
to be her voice in it.

I'm trying. I'm trying. I'm
just hoping I do her justice.

You have to speak for people
who can't speak for themselves.

Thank you Camille, I'll do my
best.

Faith Crusaders... Let's ride!

Faith Crusaders? Are you
talking to us?

Yeah, you and Francis come on
let's go, we got things to do.

Alright, the campaign is back
on.

We gotta get people to hear us.

We have to be a voice for people

who can't speak up for
themselves.

You know and if people feel
bullied, we have to let them

know that they can ride with
us! So by Monday,

I want everyone to come up with
ways that we can get people

to hear us. Get it, got it,
good.

Uh... What was that?

We're getting the band back
together buddy! Whoo..

But wait, aren't us three the
whole band?

Why you gotta ruin the
excitement man?

I'm just saying...

Just go write some ideas down.

Fine!

Alright, I was thinking brand
messaging. T-shirts, and

holding raffles, maybe having a
pancake breakfast.

People respond to pancakes.

Oh I do, I totally do.

You guys back on the campaign?

Yeah, we're just trying to
think of better things to say,

to help people hear us.

People aren't hearing you
because you're just

another guy yelling at them.

You might have better things
to say,

but it still just sounds like
noise to people.

Well they're hearing Franklin
Baumann.

Yeah well, he's got the luxury
of a

captive audience on TV, you
don't.

Besides isn't your whole point
to be

different than he is anyway?

I just want people to see why
he's wrong.

No Steve.

Your game shouldn't be to show
people why he's wrong,

it should be to show
people why you're right.

Doesn't the Bible say something
about doing good things being

more important than saying good
things?

Do great things, and have
other people talk about it.

Don't be another guy who just
talks. Show us.

Then your new campaign slogan
can be, Talk is Cheap.

Where were you on that one Mr.
Campaign manager?

All the good ideas can't be
mine.

Jackie! Wait.

Will you help us?

Pretty please?

Yeah.

Alright,

so the plan is to make an impact
on people through action.

Now normally we wouldn't care
if people took notice of this,

but this is a campaign.

We gotta let people know that
you are out there.

So we need to find people good
at spreading the word.

People with blogs, people who
can film stuff,

and put it on the internet.

Hey, call your friends on the
Yearbook club,

they would be good at that.

The year book club? What makes
you think we know those guys?

Brinkley, it's Steve...

Calvin,

stop playing World of War Craft
for a second, and focus.

Mary Jane, I need your help

Okay, Calvin, Brinkley, Mary
Jane.

You guys are gonna be our
drum beaters.

Get the word out about our
movement.

Dudes, why is Jackie Burns
talking to us?

I'm still confused.

Was it my birthday, and I
missed it?

Brinkley check the edges of
your mouth,

I think you have some major
"droolidge."

Okay Congressman, you have
anything else to say?

Yeah. I just wanted to say
thanks.

A lot of people talk
about changing things,

but we can be the force behind
that change.

The Force! Boom, that's what
we'll call ourselves.

And The Force will look nice on
some T-shirts.

Yeah kinda makes me think of
Star Wars though.

Nah dude, like the work force,
the police force. The Force.

Yeah, still thinking of Star
Wars.

Actually, I like The Force.

People will want to join The
Force.

Jackie makes a great point.

Yeah Jackie Burns you have a
great point.

Oh come on, now it's a good
point because she likes it.

You're learning Willy.

Alright, we just need to
introduce ourselves to

everyone. Gotta find that
personal touch you know?

Any ideas?

Okay Operation Pass The Light.

There's 700 kids in this school.

And we all get 100 names

Good, but the freshman aren't
in the yearbook yet,

and we have to include them.
Brinkley,

Yes Jackie Burns?

Run to Father Basil and have
him get me a list of all the

freshman's names with pictures.

Right away Jackie Burns, you
want a soda with that too?

Will you relax,

you're acting like you've never
seen blonde hair before.

Mary Jane, you handle all the
still photography.

Yes Jackie Burns.

And Calvin, you film the main
hall when

people start opening their
lockers.

Yes Jackie Burns.

Okay from now on everyone just
call me Jackie, okay?

So tomorrow is the beginning of
Operation Pass The Light.

Everyone in. Pass The Light on
three. One, two, three...

Pass The Light!!

We're good. We're good.

Show time.

Yo Randy check this out.

"Wes, your leadership on the
football team, makes us all

really proud." Signed The
Force? What does yours say?

Ah Some dumb stuff also.

Oh my gosh this is pathetic.

-Hey, how did you guys feel when

you got the letters from The
Force?

It was really nice.

It made me feel like someone
actually took time to notice me.

I honestly didn't even think
that anyone knew my name.

So, I mean, that's kind of big
you know?

Hey, so how did you feel when

you got the letters from The
Force?

It was cool. Nice to know that
people watch the swim meets

and actually care.

Have you ever seen anything done

like this at this school before?

Not really, I honestly wasn't
expecting this,

but I don't know, it makes me
feel really good inside.

That was crazy today, huh?

I think everyone really liked
it though, don't you?

Yeah I hope so.

Alright, see you in the library
at study hall?

Perfect.

Jackie, I know things have been
a little tough for you lately,

but I hope you know you have
some real friends out here.

We are here for you.
Steve.

You guys need to come with me,
come on.

Steve, what are we doing here,
it's freezing outside.

Just have a seat.

I have looked at this picture,
so many times, because I knew

when I was old enough to know
what it meant,

I knew I wanted a love like my
parents. A love given by God.

That's why I brought you guys
here.

I mean this is where it all
started.

Mom, I remember dad used to tell
me stories about how he

would always take you to the
zoo,

because you loved Sammy
the Walrus.

You guys had a date night set
up every Saturday night.

Corinthians says that love
endures all things,

and I think that's why you guys
stuck it out.

Cuz, you really love each other.

You just gotta remember
why you like each other.

I want you guys to write down

your favorite thing about one
another.

Steve, it's not that simple,
we...

Dad, aren't you out of excuses
yet? Write.

You guys have a three mile walk
to figure it out. Peace.

Did he just...

Yeah he just did. That's your
son.

Why is he always my son when he
does something rotten?

So what do we do now?

I guess we write.

I don't know, I... I just feel
lost, Anne.

I know you do, but when you
feel lost, you shut me out,

and you have to let me help you.

But I'm supposed to be the one
that has the

answers for you and Steve, and I
don't know how

to look at you when I
don't have them.

Pride goes before destruction.
Proverbs.

Boy, you know that Bible don't
you?

Let God reinvigorate your faith
in yourself. I mean he put you

and me together to make each
other stronger.

I will always be there for
you, and I will always make you

stronger like you make me
stronger.

I mean look at our kid. He's
making us both stronger.

That's your son.

Hey, that's our son. You are
not alone.

She always makes me remember

that there's more good in the
world, than there is bad.

She's my rock.

I like his arms and his butt.

I do.

He is simply the best man I
know, even when he forgets why.

Thank you.

Of course.

Let's go home.

Okay.

Trust in the music dude.

Hello everyone. I just want to
say we appreciate all of you.

Join the Force,

let'’s make our community better.
Pass the light.

Hey, you guys are the ones that
did the notes right? The Force?

Yeah, that's us.

That was brilliant. Could we
help?

We've been waiting for you
guys. Welcome to The Force.

Alright, 4 hot button issues in
politics. First, Infrastructure.

People like to feel good about
where they'’re living.

So why don't we fix up the
school?

Alright guys I love it, let's
make Northfield beautiful.

Francis, Steve, and Willy, you
guys call all your friends

on the Mathletes, we need some
tutors.

OK, what makes you think we
know anyone on the mathletes.

Seriously that...

Sanchez it's Steve.

Sarah stop building that
volcano and listen.

Brit, I need your help.

The Force is offering a new
tutoring campaign.

Every Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday during study period 7,

we will be in the Library with
people proficient in all

subjects covered here at
Northfield.

Thanks, have a great day.

Hold the seams, and then flick
it.

That is money man, that...

Hey, dude what is this?

He's not a bad guy, when you
talk to him.

Whoa! Steve, Willy, Jackie,
everyone come here the word is

spreading, my blog is blowing
up. Dude!

So we just wanna say that we
think it is so cool that

Steve Bellafiore is running for
Congress.

Yeah, I mean as a Christian in
this school,

it's cool to have...

I'm not even all Christian like
that, but you know helping

feels better than not helping,
so why not right?

And plus, the girls think I'm a
sweetie now. What up ladies?

Go Steve Bellafiore for
Congress!

Yeah!!!

And joining us now, we have Mr.
Franklin Baumann.

Glad to be here Paula. Thank
you for having me.

Mr. Baumann, have you heard
about this

Pass the Light campaign,
happening in the schools?

Apparently it's a campaign in
reaction to you.

I have heard about it, and you
know what, I think it's great.

I love when our young people
get involved in civics.

No matter how. In any way they
can.

But what do you say in response

as to why Steve Bellafiore got
into this campaign.

He says you used Christianity
in a negative way.

Paula, our young people have
the luxury of looking at the

world through rose colored
glasses because we the adults

do our level best to protect
them in any way we can.

I make no apologies for doing
that.

What Steve and his friends are
doing it's..it's cute,

it's nice, but it's hardly
sustainable in the real world.

Let them tackle the problems
with high school, and dating,

and studies, and God willing
college,

while we the adults, take care
of the real problems.

Thank you Mr. Baumann, and good
luck with the campaign.

And now to your local weather.

Cute, did Mr. Clean just call
what we are doing cute? Wow.

You know, cute isn't terrible.

Unless you're a puppy, cute is
terrible.

He's right. We need to take
this outside the school walls.

How do we do that? We only have
after school and weekends,

and you're on the football team.

Some things are more important.

Dude, you never got into a game
though, that was your goal.

Some things are more important.

You remember that little
campaign I told you about?

It's about to get serious. You
in?

I'm in.

Alright, cupcakes, I'm in.
Let's go global.

Great job son, let me talk to
you a bit.

Alright we're gonna
need some press, okay?

Now I wanna start with a huge
kick off event,

okay so I'm gonna want you to
stay here and coordinate,

and I'm gonna have to take your
cute girlfriend

Jackie over there, go down to
the station,

and see if we can't stir the
pot a little bit.

Dad she's not my girlfriend.

What, you don't want her to be?

Shut up, she might hear you.

Hey I know how that goes, I was
your age once, come on.

Let's get this going guys!

I'm sorry Pete, but Franklin is
legit. He's news.

The kids are a cute story, but
it's not news.

Are you trying to tell me that
a man sitting up here yelling

at everybody is news, but a
group of kids that are

out there in the community
helping people is not?

And for the record, the Pass
the Light campaign is in other

schools. Steve Bellafiore for
Congress is catching on.

Doesn't mean that it's
newsworthy.

Not newsworthy? How about a big
kick off event this Saturday

at the Salvation House.

Not just for the hungry,

but the whole community coming
together.

So what. One large campaign
breakfast and...

And a place where the whole
community can come together to

grow and talk about the issues.

Come on Paula, send someone
down there to cover our event

on Saturday, I promise, it will
be newsworthy.

Hi I'm Gina Winters reporting
live outside

the Salvation House. What is
normally a place for some

needy folks to get some food,

is now a community center,
bustling with shared energy.

With me, I have Pete Bellafiore,

father of the young
Steve Bellafiore,

who is quote/unquote
running for Congress.

Pete, why is this so important
to your son?

Well, you know Steve's always
been a good kid,

and you know for the record, he
was out here helping out

every Saturday before there
were any of those cameras

pointed at him.

You know he just, he saw this
as, well,

an opportunity to create
awareness.

Is that what his campaign is?

Yeah I think so, you know? He
wants people to see that,

well, a little effort goes
farther than a lot of talk.

Let's go check out the party.

- We are here inside

where it is exploding with
energy.

- I'm here with Steve
Bellafiore, candidate Baumann,

and his lovely wife Helen.

I know that we're running
against each other, you're

running against me, but um, am
I welcome to stay?

Of course sir, as long as you
don't eat all the bacon,

we're good.

No, we'’ll, we'll leave the
pork in Washington, won'’t we?

Thank you, and I'’d also like
to thank who'’s ever in charge.

Who are they?

That would be Trevor and Billy.

Is this Billy?

Trevor.

Trevor! Alright, Billy hi.

Yes hi.

You see it's fine young men
like these that uh

are the driving force behind
this community.

I mean look at this place, the
energy is just surging, and uh

it's just God's love that is
just flowing

right through you gentlemen,
thank you. Thank you very much.

So if you are liking this
event, there must be something

good about Steve's campaign for
Congress.

Oh who doesn't like a party
like this, this is uh lovely.

But at the end of the day when
the party's over it's not

terribly far reaching and you,
you have to realize that these

people go back to their lives,

and they uh go back to their
problems.

How do you respond to that
Steve?

Well you're right sir. You know
I gotta say, every time you

open your mouth, you give me
new idea for the campaign.

You keep coming back to that
word, campaign.

You can't officially win, so
what are you looking for?

Well Gina, I just want a debate.

I want the chance to stand up
there next to Mr. Baumann,

and his opponent Mr. Glosson,

and I wanna be a voice for the
people in this room.

People all around the world. I
just want a debate.

Mr. Baumann?

Well son, you have to do a lot
more than make a couple of

YouTube Videos, and throw a
block party in order to be

invited to debate in front of
the

constitutes of this district,

and besides that you also need
Three Thousand signatures.

Once again sir you're right. So
if I earn it, and get the

signatures, will you welcome me
to the debate?

Okay yes. You earn it, and I
will welcome you to the debate,

but in the meantime I am gonna
go get some pancakes.

Thank you Gina.

Thank you. Well you heard it
here.

We're The Force, we need to
create a work force.

There are men and women down at
the salvation house.

People like Freddie. He's a
carpenter that's had some bad

luck, and he feels better when
he's working.

It's not enough to just feed
people,

we have to help them
find purpose.

Son, I appreciate your passion,
but Freddie has an arrest

record, that's why he can't get
hired.

Dad he made a mistake, and he
has nobody to vouch for him.

If trusted people say that you
can trust this guy,

we could get him some work.

Hey, what's going on?

Oh you know, saving the world.

You know, you're onto something
here. How about this?

We put an ad in the paper. Need
some help?

You know, odd job, painting,
whatever, call the force,

pay what you can.

And then I'll go to some of the
small business owners around

town see if I can't get them to
hire some of our guys and gals.

And we get official The Force
T-shirts,

so people know it's us.

We'll get The Force on the back,

and Pass the Light on the
front, BOOM.

That's good. That's good.

Okay so Steve, tomorrow after
Church, you go to the

Salvation House, and see who
down there has special skills.

And while you guys are doing
that, I'll get a team of people

together, and we can get some

signatures to get into that
debate.

Me and Francis can help with
that.

Shut up you guys.

Alright y'all we got some work
to do.

Let's bring it in. Come on you
guys too.

Pass The Light on 3. 1, 2, 3..

Pass the light!

Great work today guys.

You never judged me when all of
that went down at school.

Why would I judge you?

You wouldn't, it's why you're
one of a kind.

But you never even asked me what
happened.

If you wanted to tell me you
would.

In high school, you love people
for a lot of different reasons.

I loved Wes because of who he
was and,

how being with him made me feel.

I thought he was the one,

and when you love someone, well
we...

Yeah, I get it.

So I thought I was pregnant.

Told Wes, and he completely
freaked,

because if I was pregnant, then
the whole world,

including his parents, would
know that we officially...

I get it...

And there was no way I was
getting an abortion,

so I told him we needed to work
things out.

And instead of loving me,
and supporting me,

he made up some rumor that I
slept with someone else

and got pregnant.

To cover his bases, he wrote
tramp all over my locker.

Why didn't you just tell people
the truth?

Because in high school,

the first rumor is the only one
that counts.

So you're not pregnant?

No. Found out I wasn't.

Look, I know what the Bible
says about, the sexually

immoral, and how you should
wait until marriage.

Do you think different of me?

Now that you know the whole
truth?

I know that I sinned, and I'm
trying to make it better.

Well I guess I'm glad it
happened, because if it hadn't,

I never would have gotten the
chance to do this with you.

So thank you.

And I'’m sorry if I disappointed
you.

Jackie.

Before I really knew
you, I thought that you were

the most beautiful girl I had
ever seen.

Now that I know the whole truth
about you,

I think you're the most
beautiful girl I've ever known.

So yeah, I do think differently
of you now.

Everyone sins, it's how you deal
with it that counts.

Now go get some sleep. We got a
lot of work to do tomorrow.

I'm so pumped to see these!

Still nothing. Let's go there.

We're going to the Salvation
House.

Alright everyone, it's only
been a few days,

but it doesn't mean it's over.

You know sometimes an idea
just takes time to catch on.

Let's keep our chin up, okay?

Let's keep the faith. We got
this, we're Pass The Light,

right? Let's not give up, hang
in there.

So you ready for this?

Let's do it.

Let's do it.

The Force is coming to you for
help.

If you know anyone who needs
some help around the house,

a door built, a sink fixed,
anything, our campaign is

working to put forgotten people
back to work.

Tell your parents, and friends.
Thanks, and Pass the Light.

Did you get it?

No No... oh okay it's good.

What's wrong geek patrol? The
force not forceful anymore?

Yo, come on guys.

No, when are you all gonna
realize that this Force thing

is stupid?

Wes, grow up. We're trying to
do something that matters.

For some reason all of that
makes you very uncomfortable,

and that's fine you don't have
to like it, but this cause

doesn't deserve one of your
idiotic jokes.

So if you have none of God's
grace in you, and you just have

to be a bully, leave us alone.
Let's go.

Pass The Light. Yes sir we're
available tomorrow.

This is Wes's house.

Salvation House, yes home of
Pass The Light,

yeah okay what do you need? Yeah
we can do that.

Great. okay, okay.

Sure, yeah, we'll be there.

Make no mistake people this is
a war, who will fight with me!

Who will fight with me! That's
what I wanna hear, that's right.

Hi Sir.

Hello ma'am.

Hello ma'am.

I'm with Steve Bellafiore's...

Pass the Light Campaign.

And we're gathering signatures..

For the right to debate.

For all of us is to ascend the
ladder of morality

and descent against the immoral.

I wanna fight. I wanna fight.
Who will join me?

Who will fight?

Mr. Baumann.

There's a young lady that wants
to ask a question, please..

So what do you think of Steve
Bellafiore, and the Force?

I think we're doing some pretty
good things.

I would commend you all on
doing a wonderful job,

Steve Bellafiore, is a very
smart good kid,

however I would say,

we need serious people to take
over this office.

You know Mr. Baumann.

It says in the Bible to do good
things.

Yes it does.

And let everybody else talk
about it, and all I see every

day is Steve doing good things,
and all I see is you talking.

Willy you doing good?

Good man.

Alright, pops, door's looking
great.

Thanks pal.

Salvation House, yes home of
Pass The Light,

yeah okay what do you need?

Sir in this day an age does
your message hold water.

These are not my words, this is
not my message,

these are God's words.

He speaks out against
the homosexual,

he speaks out against the
sexually immoral.

What I'm saying, it's up to us
in this day and age,

to say we will not accept the
direction in which our society

is going. That is why I say
this is a war.

You're doing a great job.

Thanks, feels good to be
working again.

Good to have purpose.

Lord when I look at all my
friends now,

I see faces filled with new
purpose.

Lord all I can say is that
this is your work.

And Lord, thank you for Steve
Bellafiore, and all of the

things he's inspired us to do
because he'll never take

the credit for himself.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Amen.

Pass those down.

Oh God...

Mr. Baumann, I wanted you to
know that we have

over 3000 signatures, and the
people would

very much like to give me the
honor of debating the issues

with you on Tuesday.

Son, this is a very commendable
thing, but I think it's time to

let the adults take over, don't
you?

But you said if I got the
signatures...

Steve, please, you're bordering
on being disrespectful, hm.

Good job. Enough.

So what that's it? It's over?

Both candidates have to
officially consent.

If he doesn't, we're out. So
yeah I guess that's it.

Hey son, let's go.

And it is said in 2 Corinthians
Chapter 4,

so death is at work
in us, but life in you.

- Since then we have the same
spirit of faith according to

what is written. I believed
therefore I spoke,

- we too believe and therefore
speak, and it is our duty to

stand up in the face of
injustice,

- in the face of lies, in the
face of untruths, and to do

Dude what are you doing?

I got this bro.

Excuse me Pastor Jones, but the
Holy Ghost has just filled me.

Willy, please sit.

I don't think I can.

See there is an injustice
happening here, and I can not

sit back and watch it happen.

An injustice?

Yes.

Willy sit down.

Pastor I can not.

See my best friend here was
promised

that if he got 3000 signatures,
and proved his worth then his

voice could be heard. He has
done both of those things,

and now a certain someone, I
won't say who, but his name

rhymes with Stanklin, wants to
take it back.

Pastor I know a lot of people
want to hear this debate.

Son, this is not the place to
talk politics,

you are in a church.

On no sir, this is not politics,
this is right and

wrong. You know, you always say
let the adults decide,

so we'll let them.

If you are in favor of
Steve Bellafiore

being allowed to debate please
stand.

We'll go for a two thirds
majority vote,

since that's political.

So what do you say Mr. Baumann,

you gonna ignore all your
constituents?

Dude, did I bite off too much
here? I mean,

I don't know that much about
economics, and all that stuff.

Look look, Bro bro,

remember back when all of this
was just a ridiculous idea?

The only thing that kept it
real, was that I knew I could

believe in you. You got this
bro.

No, don't do that. No hugs or
nothing like that man,

I'm just saying man, we don't
get down like that, we just...

You ready Congressman?

I don't know.

Just remember, the people of
this town put you here.

Forget about the guy on the
other side of that curtain.

You can do this.

Good luck.

Okay. Time to get serious son,
game on.

- Candidate, Franklin Baumann.

Thank You! Thank You!

The Democratic Candidate, Jerry
Glossen.

Thank You! Thank You!

The Independent Candidate,
Steve Bellafiore.

If the crowd could settle down,
and the gentlemen take their

places behind the podiums, we
will begin.

Welcome 15th District,
Congressional debate.

Each candidate will now give a
brief opening statement.

We'll begin with Jerry Glossen.

Thank you Patricia. Ladies and
Gentleman.

I believe in this
world climate, we need a choice

free of emotion and religious
pontificating.

If you want a candidate who is
about the facts,

then make the right choice, and
vote Jerry Glossen.

Mr. Baumann. You have the floor.

Thank you Patricia. Hello
folks, I'm Franklin Baumann.

My opponent talks about a choice
free of emotion.

Make no mistake I am
passionate about you,

I am passionate about the lord.

I am passionate about this war
that we are waging to protect

us, and lead us forward.

And if you want a candidate who
is passionate, I'm your man.

Mr. Bellafiore.

When I look around, I see a lot
of people hating each other.

Somewhere along the line, we
accepted this as normal.

We have to do better.

Ah the naivety of youth.

Look, I hate to have to be the
one to say this, but can't we

get back to having a serious
discussion about the issues?

This is a nice kid do we wanna
let him stand up here,

and embarrass himself, Patricia?

No look, I'm not being mean or
condescending

to this fantastic young man,

but can he really answer the
questions

about the economy?

Can he answer questions about
how to fix education?

I mean it's one thing to come up
with a cute slogan

for your group,

and make t-shirts and internet
videos, and even put a few

people back to work, but any
way you slice it,

that's not the way to bring
sustainable work to this

district. He can't possibly
answer these questions.

And he can't talk about
morality, simply because he

hasn't been around long enough
to hone his moral compass.

I applaud Steven for what he
has done, how he has

invigorated youth into the
political movement here,

I do, I applaud you for that,
but now it's time to let the

adults take over so that these
people can make a choice.

It's time to end the circus.

You know you're right,
Mr. Baumann.

I can't win this election
legally,

and I'm not even on the ballot,

but I didn't get in this to win.

Then why did you get into it
Steve?

At first I got in it to protect
my faith.

To protect you faith?

Yes. To protect my faith.

I saw the faith I loved

being used to hurt the people I
cared about,

and I couldn't just stand by
and do nothing.

Sir, the way you frame your
message, is the reason why

a lot of people don't hear the
true Christian message.

Your Christianity divides
people.

You preach judgment, and even
war, but that is not the

Christianity that my father
taught me.

Pete Bellafiore taught me
about inclusion, about

acceptance. You say you like to
use the Bible to back up

your arguments, but what about
Galatians 3:28.

"There'’s neither Jew nor Greek,
there is neither slave or free,

there is no male and female,

for you are all one in Christ
Jesus."

Now I'd like to just take a
moment here to...

No offense sir, you have talked
for months, let me say one

thing, and I will be out of
your hair.

What ever's left of it.

If you believe Galatians. If
you believe, ALL ONE, then that

means that God doesn't hate
anyone he created.

He doesn't hate the sexually
immoral. WE HAVE ALL SINNED!

He doesn't hate anyone.

I've heard you talk about how
we have to separate ourselves

from these people to protect
ourselves but sir,

I think separation is the exact
wrong thing.

I think we need to
stay one strong community.

A community that tries to
understand one another,

rather than trying to judge one
another.

A community that tries to work
with one another,

rather than trying to work
against one another.

Two of the best men I know are
homosexual men.

They do more for people in this
town in one day than most

people do in their lifetime.

And they do it out of
selfless love, and pure faith.

Now, I can't say if their way
of life is right or wrong,

I don't know that I'm qualified
to judge that,

but I do know that counting
them out is wrong.

I know that it's terrible that
they feel, that they can't come

out and practice their faith for
fear of being judged.

Now I'm not saying you have to
agree with their way of life,

but you have to at least be up
for the conversation.

You have to try to understand,
and show love.

That is our moral duty.

My good friend Jackie Burns
taught me that talk is cheap,

so we tried to do something.

Now, you may blow up the idea of
what we did,

and say it's not sustainable,
and maybe it's not.

But you are so caught up in
winning that you didn't even

think to acknowledge the good
in what we did.

So now it's up to the grown
ups to take what we did

and parlay it into sustainable
jobs.

So sir. I didn't get in this to
win. I got in it to be a voice

for people who couldn't speak
up for themselves.

I got in it so people could
choose something else before

they chose division, and war,
and hate.

And if you're all with me,
then write in a different

option, whether it be my name
or anyone else's.

We can not choose the moral war.

We have to choose each other.

My dad Pete Bellafiore always
told me,

son we are always stronger
together.

Thank you, that's all I have to
say.

Wow the famous waffles, what
did we do to deserve this?

Do you know how proud I am of
you, of both of you.

Well thanks mom.

So how do you think it went?

You know what, I think it went
well.

I mean I put all my cards
on the table,

did what I wanted to do, and
the rest is in God's hands.

I wonder who that is?

I have an idea.

You really think it could work?

Maybe, if we spread the word.

Oh that's brilliant Jackie
Burns oops Jackie Bellafiore.

Whatever, let's try and make
history, rock the vote baby!

What is remarkable,

is the amount of youth that has
come out to vote today.

This Pass the Light campaign,
or The Force,

or whatever you want to call
them will not go away.

In the weeks that have followed
the rousing debate between

Steve Bellafiore and Franklin
Baumann,

a debate that went viral on the
web and garnered upward of a

million hits worldwide.

The Force has tirelessly
campaigned, and their numbers

and influence are getting
stronger.

Even if they can not
officially win, they wanna make

sure that we know that they are
out there.

Well today is election day,
and the work of the Force has

officially made an impact,
people have turned out in

record numbers young and old
alike, and they all want

to have their say in this
historic election.

Gina can you tell us what is
the scene like down there at

the voting booths.

Well Paula, the scene down here
is truly remarkable.

As of right now, the race is too
close to call.

When do you think they will
know?

It shouldn't take too long,

they only have to count our
district.

You know what. Let's just put
it down for a bit.

Let's just go to the football
game tonight.

What do you say? Be kids for a
minute.

Bellafiore, I need you in
uniform. Suit up.

Are you serious coach?

Heck yes I am.

Thank you so much.

No, thank you Steve, now get
your gear on, let's go.

- Skeeter T here
and welcome to the state

playoffs. Tonight's match up
we've got the Northfield

Christian Academy versus the
Southfield Eagles.

Folks this is supposed to be a
rivalry, but it is a blow out.

Thirty One nothing, all
Northfield. I will tell you

what I can not be prouder of
this team, and these fans.

Always behind their Lions

and a big reason why we are six
and 0 at home.

The only question left, is will
young Steve Bellafiore get into

this game. The big news was
Coach Whitey Peters,

let him suit up for these
playoffs. We got twenty-four

seconds coach, I hope you get
him in there.

Bellafiore, Flanker, let's go
son get into the game. Come on.

Whoa will you look at this
number fifteen is taking the

field, and these fans are
erupting.

Looks they're gonna run a play
for him, and why not. It's a

blow out, but this moment is
bigger than the game.

Whoa big Steve better buckle
that chin strap pal,

it's a rough game out there.

I am so excited for this young
man.

Thompson drops back to
pass... he slings it...

Steve's got a step... he's under
the ball... oh oh

It's caught!! It's caught!!

Oh Young Wes Randolph lays out
the middle line backer.

Bellafiore at the Ten, the Five,

Touchdown, Touchdown! Oh Good
God almighty!

Hail Mary on a cracker!!

What a moment for young Steve
Bellafiore!

Can you feel it folks, can you
feel it! WooHoo!!

- Excuse me. Ladies
and Gentlemen your new

Congressman for the 15th
District Illinois.

Pete Bellafiore!!!

In a shocking turn of events in
the 15th district.

Pete Bellafiore, father of Steve
Bellafiore,

has won the election on a write
in.

The Baumann campaign, which
came in a very close second,

says they will protest, but for
now.

Pete Bellafiore is the
Congressman elect.

Sir, why did you vote for Pete
Bellafiore?

Well, I watched the video of
the debate on the internet, and

I realized that the kid was
saying the things I,

you know, wanted to hear, but
I thought you know he could

never win, so it's pointless.

But then I went to the booth
this morning, and the kid and

his girlfriend were handing out
these flyers that said to vote

for Pete Bellafiore, and uh, I
thought if you know the kid's

dad gets elected, then maybe the
kid will get to

share some of his ideas, so uh
that's what I did.

And there you have it. Back to
you Paula.

What did you do son?

Looks like I got you job.

I am astounded by your faith
son. It's inspiring.

Well I'm not a Congressman, you
still wanna date me?

Are you kidding me, we're
grooming you for president.

I'm in as campaign manager.

PASS THE LIGHT! PASS THE LIGHT!
PASS THE LIGHT!

PASS THE LIGHT! PASS THE LIGHT!
PASS THE LIGHT!

PASS THE LIGHT! PASS THE LIGHT!
PASS THE LIGHT!

PASS THE LIGHT! PASS THE LIGHT!
PASS THE LIGHT!
