President John F. Kennedy’s assassination 60 years ago today left an indelible scar on the American psyche that transcended my family’s loss of an uncle, brother, husband, and father. That national trauma robbed us of something else that day. With him died a vision for our country that we may yet bring back to life. True, much of his legacy — such as his championship of civil rights, desegregation, and the space program — remains with us today, but America has abandoned the goal and vision that he prized most highly: the vision of America as a peaceful nation. RFK, Jr.’s Read more…

I am a believer in capitalism. And for capitalism to work, labor must be able to bargain collectively to maintain decent working conditions and keep a fair share of its productivity.

I’m reaching out to all of you about an important matter called ballot access. Because I’m running as an independent candidate, we have to tackle the massive challenge of getting on the ballot in all 50 states.
