🍀 Robert F. Kennedy Jr: “I’m here to declare myself an independent candidate for President of the United States.
But that’s not all, I’m here to join you in making a new declaration of independence for our entire nation.
We declare independence from the corporations that have hijacked our government.
We declare independence from Wall Street, from big tech, from big pharma, from big ag, from the military contractors and their lobbyists.
We declare independence from the mercenary media that is here to fortify all of the corporate orthodoxies from their advertisers that urge us to hate our neighbors and to fear our friends.
We declare independence from the cynical elites who betray our hope and who amplify our divisions.
And finally, we declare independence from the two political parties and the corrupt interests that dominate them and the entire rigged system of rancor, of rage, of corruption, of lies that has turned government officials into indentured servants for their corporate bosses.
We declare independence from these corrupting powers because they are incompatible with the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
How can we guard life when the for-profit corporations have captured the public agencies that are supposed to protect us?
How can we enjoy liberty when a surveillance state seeks to hide the truth and to quash dissent?
And how can we pursue happiness when debt and low wages imprison so many of our nation’s families?
So, I’ve come here today to declare our independence from the tyranny of corruption which robs us of affordable lives, our belief in the future, and our respect for each other.”
