Where He Stands

This page contains external links to articles written by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., information on his books, radio show, and speeches, as well as a few select interviews with him.

While this is hardly to be considered a campaign “platform,” we feel it is important for potential voters and supporters to be informed where RFK Jr. stands on some of the important issues facing us all.

Words on the page, however eloquent, are no substitute for hearing him express his views verbally. As voters, we put a lot of stock in being able to look into the eyes of a potential candidate and judge his sincerity for ourselves. So if you have the opportunity to see Bobby at one of his many speaking engagements across the country, don’t miss the chance to experience his energy in person. He’s an electrifying public speaker!

We also encourage you to check out his weekly radio show, “Ring of Fire,” on Air America. If you don’t have a local affiliate station in your area, you can listen to archived programs at Ring of Fire Radio’s website.

Many of Bobby’s interviews and speeches are available on our blog and also at GoLeft.tv.

We hope that this resource helps to give you a better idea about the man himself and the causes he is most passionately dedicated to.

    Thank you for your endorsement of Hillary Clinton!
    Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be the next leader of the Democratic Party! He and his sister Kathleen are the most gifted and capable for the future of the USA!
    Go Bobby, Go Kathleen!!!

  • Bobby Jr. is a walking contradiction:

    He calls himself a Democrat but he’s pro-life.
    He calls himself an enviromental activist but he has 6 children (overpopulation!) and supports wind power, but doesn’t have it on any of his properties. He talks about the poor and impoverished but charges $600 an hour for his legal services. He considers himself an animal lover but proudly displays their pelts and skulls in his home.

    According to the same article where he admits to being pro-life, he says he attends mass daily not because he’s holy but because he needs a lot of help to do the right thing every day. I applaud his honesty, but weakness and not practicing what you preach, doesn’t make for a good president.

    You may also wish to consider that it’s not just his drug use (who cares/long time ago) that may be behind his reluctance to run. Perhaps there is another skeleton in the closet - another indiscretion. I don’t care really, but he’s not his father. Conflicted and complicated like him, yes, but he needs to reconcile his religious and environmental beliefs.
