Roger Williams Park is closed. Really!? Oh my. This morning at 8 am, as I was out jogging down Elmwood Avenue and entered Roger Williams Park to run through to Broad Street, a Providence Patrolman from his police vehicle politely and respectfully alerted me that Roger Williams Park was closed. Of course, this is because of the Coronavirus pandemic. This is also what oppression feels like, when our precious freedom is taken away, even a little. But, that is often how liberty is lost, drip by drip. As a Republican candidate running for U.S. Senate to replace Jack Reed, our personal freedom is most important to me. And, why I resist the leftist resistance in America. Covid-19 is not just a terrible disease, it is a warning of how far a statist government can shut us down, close our businesses, perhaps throw us into a global depression. All, for a flu like virus. We will find a cure, but if we don't open the economy any more of us will suffer a terrible fate: living death when we can't feed ourselves and our families. I didn't know the Park was closed, so I meant no disrespect. As the proud son of Providence Patrolman Allen Waters on motorcycle, I wish the officers of the department good health.

| Tactic | The ad leverages a personal anecdote about park closure during COVID to frame government restrictions as creeping oppression, using the drip-by-drip liberty loss metaphor to stoke fear and contrast the candidate as a freedom defender against incumbent Jack Reed. |
