When the Place Went Mad: The Deeply Satisfying Anger of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
We're taking an educated guess that RFK Jr. is interested in Parenting Activities, Fishing, Gym Workouts, Sailing, Swimming, Hiking, Kayaking, Falconry, Speaking Truth to Power, and Chess.
President Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on January 20th, 2009, just after he gives his Inaugural Address and just before he and his family restore some dignity to The White House by taking up residence there.
We're taking an educated guess that RFK Jr. would like to meet the following people:
HE'D like to meet any and all concerned, responsible, and highly motivated CITIZENS and GROUPS OF CITIZENS who have as their top priority, the comprehensive restoration of America's perceived reputation abroad and at home, amongst our friends and our foes alike, and also, as a matter of course, all those who naturally seek fundamental improvements in the conditions right here in The United States of America, on all domestic fronts, for the sake of the common good and for the general welfare and security of our innately peace-loving, resourceful, and infinitely capable nation. That is to say, potentially, HE'D like to meet you, your friends, your co-workers, your neighbors, and your and their extended families. In other words, HE'D like to meet, and to better yet, know you and all other like-minded individuals of strong and potent substance, of good and profound conscience, of dynamic and resilient character, whose ambitious and unfearful goal it is, and always has been, for our great country to live up to, at long last, the collective promise of our cherished values and traditional ideals and, after having accomplished these noble objectives, to then proudly and ingeniously enact, the as of late, and up until now, tragically unrealized visions and reluctantly postponed dreams of an independent and diverse and determined people with a higher calling, and with a soul, as of yet, unborn.
DISCLAIMER NOTICE: This MYSPACE PROFILE is an attempt to DRAFT and/or PETITION and/or SOLICIT Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., a citizen of New York State and The U.S.A., to run for The Presidency in 2008.
He has NOT announced his candidacy for The Presidency. RFK Jr. has HOWEVER, IN recent MONTHS, in TV interviews, stated that THE COUNTRY needs HIM to RUN for something.
WE AGREE with him WHOLEHEARTEDLY. That is why the folks who maintain this profile, are staging a CONCERTED multi-front CAMPAIGN to CONVINCE HIM TO RUN for the office of The Presidency. THAT IS OBVIOUSLY WHY WE HAVE ESTABLISHED THIS PROFILE on myspace.com. And guess what?
WE'D LOVE YOUR HELP !!!
Any views or statements made on this page or in posted bulletins or in responses to YOU via myspace messages originate within the minds of the individuals who maintain this profile, and do not in any way, shape, or form, reflect the EXACT actual views or thoughts of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. We're not him nor do we claim to be him nor do we represent him. WE'RE A CANDIDATE DRAFT MOVEMENT. There have been other attempts like this, both large and small scale efforts, to convince reluctant political warriors to seek higher office throughout the annals of U.S. history.
