Kokesh For Congress Update...

A message from Adam Kokesh...

This past week, our team had a whirlwind week in Washington, DC watching the war funding bill pass, the support grow for HR 1207, and the enthusiasm for this upcoming campaign build. On our way to DC, we stopped by Norman, OK, and spoke with RJ Harris, then went on to the Campaign For Liberty Missouri state meeting. In Washington, we met with Congressman Ron Paul, Congressman Walter Jones, Ralph Nader, and Senator Mike Gravel. On our way back, we even got a chance to catch up with Rand Paul and get the latest on his potential Senate run to represent Kentucky. There's more info about that on the blog and some more great videos to come, so stay tuned!

We just had another great volunteers meeting here at campaign headquarters this evening and we've got quite a team coming together to support Celebrate American r3VOLution. Special thanks to our volunteer coordinator, Jared Fuller, and Chad Wright of East Main Trade Center in Farmington for hooking up our first batch of fliers. We've got an ambitious program and we need all the help we can get to ensure this event is a success. If you didn't make it to the meeting, don't worry, we've got another one coming up next Sunday. To see the kind of help we have coming for Independence Day weekend, get the graphics for the fliers, and html for a banner to help promote the event, check out the event page.

A few have criticized me for choosing "such a radical title" for this event. Let us not forget that this country was founded in revolution, and the founders that set out a vision of liberty for this country expected us to have a revolution with every generation. As someone who volunteered to serve in the United States military, I feel obligated to remind my fellow Americans that Independence Day is about much more than fireworks and hot dogs. I hope you'll join me in this effort.

Love, faith, respect,
