I’ve been afraid to breathe and hope in the last several months. Today it is finally sinking in.
I have my party back! In 1992, I joined Jerry Brown’s presidential campaign staff. Our motto was “Take Back America.” At the convention, it was obvious to me that to do that, we’d have to first take back our party.
Today, I wake to find Hillary will NOT be VP. Dean will stay on as head of the DNC. Lobbyists and corporate donations are banned for all but the DCCC and presumably the DSCC, and I’m going to add, “for now.” If Obama has his way, that may go by the wayside too.
Obama has proved the people can elect a candidate through small contributions. Can they elect a president? That’s up to us to decide.
This is just an amazing moment. 40 years ago today, literally, today, our future was stolen from us when Robert Kennedy was shot down in the pantry.
40 years later, we FINALLY have a chance to pick up where we left off. I wasn’t sure I’d ever see that in my lifetime. But here we are.
Now, to keep Obama safe, I hope you’ll all join me in educating yourselves a bit about conspiracies. By exposing those who did it – whether they are ever prosecuted fully or not – we help prevent further assassinations.
I was on the air this morning in New Hampshire talking about the RFK assassination, and will be speaking on it again in Los Angeles this weekend (details at www.politicalassassinations.com.) This fall, I’ll be speaking at Duquesne University as well. I’m doing my part to keep people safe. Support us, please! Buy our books. Tell your friends. Read, learn, and educate others on these cases. The truth couldn’t possibly matter more, with the first black president and an anti-current-war candidate headed for the White House.
I joined Paul Schrade last night, who was wounded in the pantry with Bobby 40 years ago, at an event in which William Pepper spoke. Pepper is Sirhan Sirhan’s current attorney. Pepper is also very serious about prosecuting the current administration for war crimes as soon as they leave the oval office. He has hopes of getting this done abroad, if not at home.
My big thrill was having both William Pepper and Paul Schrade acknowledge my contributions to the audience gathered. That meant so much to me! Pepper has been reading my articles on RFK while he prepares for legal action re Sirhan and this case. I’ll write more about what he’s doing if/when time permits, as it’s interesting.
This really is our moment to turn the tide. A lot rides on all of us individually, how we choose to spend our time and money, and what media outlets we choose to support.
I have hope, for the first time in 40 years, that from here on, things might actually get better. I am not naive. The forces that oppose us will be very strong. But I feel like Obi Wan Kenobi right now: if they strike us down now, we will become more powerful than they can possibly imagine.
This is our time. Enjoy it through the weekend. Next Monday, the General Election starts in earnest, and Obama will need ALL our help.
