I first went to Google to ask it how to make a video go viral, and then I went to YouTube to view some of the Google suggestions,
and then I learned it’s a lot more work than I thought. I tried to follow some of the instructions but so far I just don’t have the “art” of being concise and getting a message across in 30 seconds or 60 seconds, and my editing skills, or lack thereof, don’t help.
I think some of the basic ideas the “How To” videos were trying to get across, is that you don’t go “Viral” overnight. Some of them discussed the “method” of creating a “challenge” and making a new short video every single day while showing that you are participating in the “challenge” you have chosen or created.
Next, you have to create excitement and get people all concerned
about something. “How close are we to World War III?” would be
an example. Or, “How many days until you can teach your dog
new tricks?” The worst ones would be like, get your daughter’s
pet bunny rabbit and your son’s dog in the same room and see
if you can control the dog from biting the bunny. Idiotic! Awful!
I have to go back and watch some more “How to make your video
go viral” videos on YouTube. I think the “How To” videos are actually
the most viral.
Well, here’s what I came up with for Day 1 of my video-go-viral
challenge, the title is, “Episode 1 Election Countdown Challenge”
and I am challenging myself as a Write-in candidate
to defeat U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and to make a new video
Episode every day.
You’ll see I cut my hair short from my last videos,
because fuel prices are going up and electricity prices
are going up and I need to get out of the shower and
get my wet hair dried faster, so I cut it short.
My challenge is to make a new video every day,
and to make them shorter than this one, and to
say something meaningful every day, something
of importance to voters to help them make the
best choices for their own values in Vermont,
and to make the videos exciting. (Groan!
making them “exciting” is the hard part!)

Episode 4 Campaign Challenge: Can a Write-in Candidate Defeat Bernie Sanders?
Cris Ericson discusses the news of October 22, 2024 that President Joe Biden and
U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders were over across the Connecticut River in New Hampshire discussing “lowering prescription drug prices”.
Cris explains that Joe Biden was elected as a U.S. Senator in the 1970s and in
1980 he voted in favor of the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980.
The Bayh-Dole Act of 1980 is a really bad deal for voters because it takes your
hard earned tax dollars and sends them to the National Institute of Health which gives your tax dollars out for research for new prescription drugs but allows the lead researcher to own the U.S. Patent, even though YOU paid for the research. This results in the lead researcher making deals with pharmaceutical corporations to produce the new Rx drugs for billions in profits for them and the lead researcher, BUT YOU don’t get any share of the profits even though you paid for all the research. Now, back before the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, the people who PAID for the research OWNED the U.S. Patents. Joe Biden’s reasoning for voting in favor of the Bayh-Dole Act was that if the people own the U.S. Patents and they are in the public domain then anyone can mass produce the pills and sell them and there will be little profit. WFT? That’s exactly what we want!!!

Episode 5 Election Challenge: Can Write-in Candidate, Cris Ericson, Defeat Bernie Sanders?
Episode 5 Election Challenge: Can a write-in candidate, Cris Ericson, defeat United States Senator Bernie Sanders?
In this episode, Cris Ericson discusses the debate held the night before on Oct. 23,
2024 in which Bernie Sanders and Gerald Malloy were invited by VT Digger and Vermont Public to participate, but four other candidates on the ballot for U.S. Senator were left out. Because the debate moderators referred to Bernie and Gerald as “the candidates for U.S. Senate” but omitted to state that there were four more candidates on the ballot, Cris Ericson feels that this is election fraud, a type of fraudulent concealment of material facts. Cris feels that the current Vermont Secretary of State knows that elections are not free and fair in Vermont because Cris thinks VT Digger and VT Public received taxpayer funding.
Next, Cris Ericson mentions that after the Vermont debate she watched a Presidential candidate debate which included minor party candidates from the Green party, Libertarian party and Constitution party.
Cris explains that in both debates two of the hot topics were abortion and immigration. She discusses that when it comes to an abortion, an unborn baby has fewer rights than an illegal migrant; in fact the unborn baby has no rights.
Cris discusses the rationalization to allow illegal migrants into our country is that we have a low birth rate and need labor. The low birth rate is caused by abortion.

EPISODE 6, at least 3 errors, it's not 70%, it's 70 cents hike on home heating fuel per gallon!
Episode 6, Election Challenge 2024, Can a Write-in candidate,
Cris Ericson, defeat U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders?
I complain about WCAX only inviting 2 candidates for U.S. Senate
and excluding 4 candidates who are on the ballot.
Then I complain about the upcoming increase in home heating fuel prices,
but apparently my brain is frozen in fear of the price hike
and I keep saying 70% rather than 70 cents per gallon.
Maybe I’ll re-do it after I have some coffee.
Never make a spontaneous video with no teleprompter (as if I could afford one)
without coffee first.
Why do I just jump out of bed in the morning and do things?

EPISODE 7 ELECTION CHALLENGE Can Write-in Candidate CRIS ERICSON Defeat U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders? Today is October 26, 2024 and it is an incrdedibly beautiful, breezy day in Vermont, U.S.A.! Early in the wee hours of the morning (our time) our ally, Israel, conducted three military strikes on Iran. The United States supplied Israel with the money, Jets, misles, bombs and drones to do this. If the tit for tat back and forth between Israel and Iran continues, then eventually, Iran might get fed up with the United States supporting Israel. Please go to

the Selective Service System. Most men in the United States between the ages of 18 to 25 are required under federal law to sign up for the Selective Service System. If our President, “Genocide Joe” or the next President, decides to RE-INSTATE the DRAFT, then your brother, cousin, uncle, friend goes to War!
PLEASE, please, please be careful about who YOU VOTE FOR PRESIDENT on your Nov. 5, 2024 election ballot!

EPISODE 8 ELECTION CHALLENGE CAN WRITE-IN CANDIDATE CRIS ERICSON DEFEAT U.S. SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS? U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders has had years and years and years in office but has not solved the problem of Homeless U.S. Military Veterans. Today, there are up to 120 U.S. Military Veterans who are homeless in Vermont, and last night the temperature was 30 degrees and that is below freezing. Cris Ericson has the best plan to house homeless U.S. Military Veterans. You pay taxes to the I.R.S. and then the U.S. Congress, Senators and Representatives, vote to give your hard earned tax dollars to the Pentagon. The Pentagon hands out your tax dollars to laboratories in Universities and other places, and under the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, the lead researcher is allowed to own the U.S. Patent on the new bullets and missles and drones and bombs and Jets! Before the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, which Joe Biden voted for when he was a U.S. Senator then, the people who paid for the research, design and development owned the resulting U.S. Patents. The Bayh-Dole Act of 1980 is one of the most corrupt bills ever passed. It makes you a modern day slave because your tax dollars are taken from you and given to someone else to make them rich, without any “R.O.I.” return on investment to you. You don’t get a share of the profits. Joe Biden has clearly been corrupt since 1980 and Bernie Sanders has gone along with it! Now, Please give Cris Ericson a write-in vote and she will demand a share of the profits made when the lead researcher makes deals with the defense contractors and they sell the newly invented missles and bombs and drones and Jets to our allies worldwide. The Defense contractors are making billions and billions and billions of dollars in profits and we deserve a share of the profits beause we, the people, paid for the R&D, the research, design and development of the new military weapons. Cris Ericson will sponsor a Bill to demand a share of the profits and put it in a trust fund to 100% guarantee housing for all U.S. Military Veterans. http://VT2024.com and http://crisericson.com Please give Cris Ericson a write-in vote for U.S. Senator 2024 Thank you!

EPISODE 9 ELECTION CHALENGE: Can Write-in Candidate CRIS ERICSON defeat U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders?
The abosolute proof that U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders has not done enough for FARMS in Vermont is that when Cris Ericson was a kid there were 25,000 farms in Vermont and now there are only about 2,000. There are all kinds of federal farm subsidies bills, but most of them go to large corporate farms out west. Please give Cris Ericson a Write-in Vote for United States Senator for Vermont and she will go on down to Washington, D.C. and sponsor a bill to create a new kind of farm subsidy for small farms. Her proposed farm bill will include federal funding for a minimum of 120 acres of farm land in Vermont if you can find 12 adults or 12 young families who will sign a business agreement together, then the federal subsidy will pay for the 120 acres of farmland and pay for a separate piece of re-growable tree forest and pay for loggers to take down enough trees to build 12 two bedroom log cabins and pay for builders to come in and build the 12 log cabins and pay for some tractors and cows and hogs and chickens, and there you go, GO TO WORK! Cris Ericson’s proposed bill will create new small farms in Vermont that are essentially COMMUNES run cooperatively by 12 young families or 12 adults who agree to sign a business contract together. This will increase the number of small farms in Vermont. This will reduce the number of people and young families who leave Vermont because they can’t afford to live here anymore. This will increase tourism in Vermont because the tourists drive to Vermont from out of state and they want to drive up and down the rolling hills and the mountains and see farms. Please give Cris Ericson a write-in vote for U.S. Senator!

Cris Ericson says the United Nations Treaty Violates US. Citizens’ Rights to Control Our Own Laws!
The Majority of citizens of the United States of America believe that cannabis marijuana should be legal, but the U.S.A. signed a TREATY with the UNITED NATIONS to be submissive and subservient to them, to the tune of BILLIONS of dollars every year that U.S. taxpayers are forced to pay them, and give up our sovereignty as well!
UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs reclassifies cannabis to recognize its therapeutic uses
4 December 2020: “Cannabis and cannabis resin will now be classified as having a similar degree of abuse and dependence potential as medicines such as morphine and oxycodone.”
ALSO, In 2018, WHO’s ECDD carried out a formal review of cannabis and all cannabis-related substances that are currently subject to international control measures. At that time, the ECDD advised that certain cannabis-derived medicines like cannabidiol have no potential to be abused or cause dependence but have significant health benefits for children with treatment-resistant epilepsy, and therefore should not be placed under international control. The Committee went on to scientifically review cannabis and other products derived from the cannabis plant, and made a series of recommendations that would more effectively control cannabis preparations with high levels of delta-9-THC (dronabinol), and allow further research and development of and improve access to cannabis-related medicines whilst also minimizing public health problems associated with non-medical cannabis products.
EPISODE 11: the grocery delivery people are starving and ate my donuts!
EPISODE 11 ELECTION CHALLENGE: Can Write-in Candidate CRIS ERICSON Defeat US Senator Bernie Sanders?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_ikcZrkde8
United States Senator Bernie Sanders has talked for years about the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer but he has not accomplished solving the problem.
Cris Ericson, October 30, 2024, complains that the grocery delivery driver did not deliver some of her groceries, they were missing from the bag, and she thinks the grocery delivery drivers are starving.
Cris lives in a small town population 3,000 and the nearest large grocery store is 8 miles away. They offer online orders and they use a 3rd party delivery service.
From the license plates, you can see that many of the delivery people are from New Hampshire.
Cris called the store manager to complain about missing groceries and said that she thinks the grocery delivery people are starving and taking groceries. The manager agreed that this is an ongoing problem, but he doesn’t see it as his jurisdiction, they use 3rd party delivery people.
Cris sees the problem as needing to raise the federal minimum wage because in New Hampshire, where some of the delivery people are hired from as 3rd party delivery people, the minimum wage is $7.25 an hour compared to Vermont where the state voted to make the minimum wage $13.67 an hour.
So, the bottom line is that the large grocery store is saving money using out-of-state delivery services.
We have to raise the minimum wage so delivery people with New Hampshire license plates on their cars and trucks are not showing up, over the Connecticut River, just a few miles away, and bringing their children in the back seats of their vehicles because they cannot afford childcare, and stealing some of the groceries because at $7.25 an hour they are starving!

Happy Halloween! The spirits of the dead from the
Celtic regions of Ireland and Scotland are out tonight!
Halloween legend says that in Ireland and Scotland
when the autumn leaves turned
orange and red and yellow and brown and fell to the ground
that the Spirits of the Dead were closer to the Earth at that time,
and so they burned bonfires to keep the bad spirits away
and put on scary makeup to frighten the evil ghosts;
but for the good spirits they put out beverages and food
on their doorsteps.
The atmosphere today, Halloween, is so full of spirits of the dead
worldwide, some of them angry spirits,
because the United States of America
paid billions of our tax dollars to israel,
and Israel used our tax dollars to bomb cities in Gaza and
Lebanon because the Israelis
believe that is the way get rid of Hezbollah,
rather than eliminating Hezbollah soldiers one by one.
Iran is friends with Hezbollah and today, Halloween,
Iran is reported by rumor on the internet to be planning
to attack Israel before the Election Nov. 5, 2024.
EPISODE 13: I never give up, it's like a town that floods, then cleans up!
Today in the news, Governor Phil Scott discussed the repeated flooding of Barre, Vermont.
O.K., so with help from FEMA, the federal emergency disaster assistance, a town can get back on its feet, but not the lives lost. When someone dies because of flooding, you can’t get them back. Their soul has gone on.
EPISODE 13 ELECTON CHALLENGE Can Write-in Candidate, CRIS ERICSON, Defeat US Senator Bernie Sanders?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFaB3sqyVSc
Cris Ericson will sponsor a bill, if she is elected to the U.S. Senate, to give FEMA, the Federal Emergency Disaster Assistance Agency, the funding to move an entire town when necessary to avoid repeat disasters in the same location, in order to save lives!
Too many lives are lost when FEMA rebuilds in locations with repeated hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and floods.
Cris believes that if Barre, Vermont floods one more time, the entire town could be moved if we have a new and better FEMA plan to buy hundreds of acres of unrestricted land in Vermont and just pack up and move the whole town, and make the existing area by the WInooski River a National Park because people love being near the river.
The problem is that hazardous debris from the flooding goes down the Winooski River, past Montpelier, past some small towns, like Richmond, and in to Lake Champlain from which one-third of Vermonters draw their drinking water.

EPISODE 14 ELECTION CHALLENGE Can Write-in Candidate CRIS ERICSON Defeat US Senator Bernie Sanders?
Cris Ericson discusses the health care crisis and asks if “natural flavors” are addictive and cause obesity and resulting health problems like diabetes?
Cris Ericson says the internet search shows that “natural flavors” are not at all natural or organic. Apparently the corrupt Food & Drug Administration allows scientists working in laboratories to mix pieces of animal products and plant products with chemicals and call them “natural flavors”.
The FDA does not require the product manufacturer to divulge what chemicals are used.
Are the chemicals addictive and are they the cause of the obesity and healthcare crisis in the United States of America?
