He served as president of the Cleveland County Young Democrats during his last two years of high school and campaigned for the late Sen. Paul Simon (D-Ill.) during his first year of college. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Iowa's Grinnell College with majors in English and economics and a minor in religious studies.

For two years, Friedrich was a teacher at the Baltimore Freedom Academy. On May 22, 2011, Friedrich was threatened with arrest by a Baltimore police officer when he was ordered to leave the Inner Harbor after handing out leaflets promoting vegetarianism.〔 That incident was part of a years-long dispute between free speech advocates and commercial interests in the Inner Harbor area. On June 1, 2011, ''The Baltimore Sun'' newspaper printed an editorial concluding that "Speaking out at the harbor should be a part of civic life, not a reason to be handcuffed." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bruce Friedrich」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
