Social media clip creator needed for advocacy

[Adrumaddict]

Looking for someone who can create a short clip that can be circulated on social media. The idea is to expose the legislators that are using "stealth amendments" to pass kratom bans. It would require finding a clip of the congressperson stating how they support transparency and then showing a clip of them proposing a bill with kratom added without altering their constituents like in Kansas and Kentucky. I will list the target legislators below. If anyone on here is savvy with this ability and wants to accept this mission please let me know. Or maybe someone on here knows someone else that could produce these clips. Time to expose these bastards that think they can do whatever they want!

1. The Primary Target: Senator Beverly Gossage (R)

The Role: She is the Chair of the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee. She was the driving force behind moving the kratom ban and was a key member of the Conference Committee that "poisoned" the hospital bill with the kratom ban language.

The "Transparency" Clip: Find footage of her from early 2026 or her 2024 campaign talking about "improving mental health access" or "transparent government."

The Reality Check: Contrast that with the fact that she helped hide a criminal ban inside a bill for a mental health hospital—a move designed specifically to prevent people from voting against it.

2. The Secondary Target: Representative Will Carpenter (R)

The Role: A key negotiator (Conferee) for the House on HB 2365. He represents the district (El Dorado/Butler County) where the mental health hospital is actually planned to be built.

The "Honesty" Clip: Find video of him advocating for the hospital, claiming it's his top priority for his constituents.

The Reality Check: Contrast his "pro-hospital" stance with his willingness to allow a controversial, unrelated drug ban to be tucked into it, effectively using the hospital as a shield to pass the ban without a separate public hearing.

3. The Clip Concept: "The Hostage Tactic"

Visual: Start with the legislator saying, "We need this mental health hospital for our community."

Text Overlay: "Then why did you hide a Kratom ban inside the hospital bill?"

The "Punchline": Show the text of HB 2365 highlighting the "Mental Health Hospital" title, then scroll down to the "Kratom/Schedule I" amendment.

Call to Action: "Stop using our mental health to play politics. Governor Kelly: Veto the HB 2365 amendment."

Why HB 2365 is the Perfect Example

Using a mental health hospital bill to pass a criminal ban is the definition of "devious."

It proves they knew they couldn't pass the ban on its own merits (after the SB 497 hearing was canceled due to opposition).

It forces the Governor into a corner: veto a needed hospital or allow a sneaky ban.

It exposes that they prioritize "winning" a ban over the clean passage of mental health legislation.

Note for the/your editor: The "Conference Committee" report where this happened was finalized in late March 2026. This is the moment the "secret" deal was made.

Committee Chair introductions where they promise to "hear all sides" and "operate in the light of day."

Campaign ads from their most recent elections (2024), which almost always feature themes of "honesty" and "accountability."

The "Money Shot" for the Video

If you or your editor can find the specific moment in the committee hearing where the "conforming amendments" (the sneaky part) were introduced—usually a very dry, fast reading of a change—they can juxtapose that with a bold, colorful campaign graphic of the same legislator promising "No more backroom deals."

Kentucky:
1. The Primary Target: Representative Kimberly "Kim" Moser (R)

The Role: She is the Chair of the House Health Services Committee. While she has sponsored kratom regulation in the past, she is the key gatekeeper for how these health issues are handled in the House.

The "Transparency" Clip: Moser is a Registered Nurse and often speaks about "patient safety," "evidence-based medicine," and "public health transparency." Look for clips of her from 2025 or 2026 emphasizing that health policy should be "deliberative" and "transparent."

The Reality Check: Contrast her "evidence-based" rhetoric with the fact that kratom policy is being decided via amendments in a Revenue Bill (HB 757) instead of through open hearings in her own Health Committee.

2. The Secondary Target: Representative Jason Petrie (R)

The Role: He is the Chair of the House Appropriations & Revenue Committee and the primary sponsor of HB 757.

The "Honesty" Clip: Find video of him discussing "fiscal responsibility" or "government accountability."

The Reality Check: Point out that he is allowing substantive criminal and regulatory changes (like those affecting kratom) to be buried in a massive tax bill to avoid the scrutiny of a public health debate.

3. The Clip Concept: "The Tax Bill Trap"

Visual: A screen recording of the Kentucky Legislature website showing HB 757.

Text Overlay: "What does a leaf have to do with tax revenue?"

The "Punchline": Show a clip of a legislator claiming to be "pro-transparency," then cut to a shot of the HB 757 amendment list.

The Message: "In Kentucky, if they can't win a fair fight in a health committee, they hide the ban in a tax bill. Tell Frankfort: No more backroom deals. Keep HB 757 clean."

You could use Capcut (https://www.capcut.com/) to produce the videos. There's a limited free version you can try, and then there's a paid version too which has a ton of extra tools and options. I have a few various social media accounts for different things and that's what I use to make my videos. It's a very user friendly and powerful editing app.

To capture the footage you need yourself, you can screen record it on your device (or download when available) and then edit everything together with Capcut. Use of the video footage should be supported under Fair Use, but always make sure.

And if you need to generate custom images, you could always use ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini or a host of other image AI tools.

If you need any help, drop me a PM.

Right on, I'll look into this. I have a very limited amount of time though since I'm about to start a new job which will have me traveling and out of town most of the summer so if I can pull something off it will have to be within the next few days or so, but I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the info!!
