In 2008 I was introduced to a young man who delivered a powerful speech at the Ron Paul R(3VOL)ution March in Washington, DC. During this now famous speech, Adam Kokesh said, “As Iraq Veterans Against the War, we are resisting an occupation that we once risked our lives for. We swore to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, but we found out the hard way that the greatest enemies of the Constitution are not to be found in the sands of some far off land, but rather right here at home! We are your new winter soldiers and we are still defending America.
…We will not let our government destroy our humanity! We will not wait another moment in fear to stand up for what we know to be right! It is time the government starts fearing the people again! It is time that we meet oppression with resistance!
They cannot stop us! Humanity marches on. You can fight it, or fight for it. When we say revolution, we say it with LOVE. As we march onward from this place where we have pledged to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor, let us embrace the struggle, cherish the fight, and live in that love. The passion of our hearts will be raised with our fists!”
Since making this speech, Adam has traveled the country promoting peace and a non-interventionist foreign policy. “The revolution that we speak of is a revolution of values, a paradigm shift, and a renewed commitment among the American people to patriotism, not loyalism. Our patriotism is resisting state power and being ever-ready to defend this country . . . from the government. This is in direct opposition to the current propaganda driven definition that has perverted patriotism into loyalism, the worship of power and authority and willingness to cede the rights of self-ownership to an external power that is the source of all unjust powers in the world. As a political force, they should fear us.”
In announcing his Congressional campaign, Kokesh wrote, “When I joined the Marines, I swore an oath to support and defend the US Constitution. I am running for Congress to continue to uphold that oath, because I believe it is my patriotic duty.” He issued a challenge, not just to his opponents but, to all Congressional candidates to “accept only the national average income when elected.”
Adam Kokesh isn’t just the best Republican candidate for New Mexico’s 3rd Congressional district; he is, in my opinion, one of the best Congressional candidates in the country. Adam is one of the few candidates that will work to abolish central banking, restore honest money, abolish the IRS, stop funding the military industrial complex and work to minimize governmental influence in all aspects of your life.
I am honored to call Adam Kokesh a friend and fellow r3VOLutionary. It is with great pleasure that I endorse the campaign of Adam Kokesh for Congress to represent New Mexico’s 3rd Congressional District.
In Liberty,
