Hi John xxxxxx,
For democracy to function, the
public must know that elections, and not violence, will decide who
takes public office. That is why the United States has granted Secret
Service protection to all major Presidential candidates, up to a year
prior to an election.
But there is no precedent for
denying an application for protection. Every candidate who has ever
asked for protection has received it.
Last Wednesday, for the second time
this election season, an intruder entered Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s home
in Los Angeles. He had written hundreds of emails to the campaign,
which were included in his application for Secret Service protection,
one of which made mention of a "bullet in [Mr. Kennedy's] brain." A
month earlier, a man had shown up at one of Mr. Kennedy's campaign
events carrying loaded weapons and posing as a U.S.
Marshal.
In both cases, Mr. Kennedy's
private security detail apprehended the individuals and turned them
over to the police. But the incidents demonstrate the
necessity for Secret Service protection for Mr. Kennedy. Withholding
protection puts him and members of the public who attend campaign
events at risk.
Furthermore, it would be incredibly
destabilizing for our nation if another Kennedy came to harm in the
course of Presidential politics.
You can't have a functioning
democracy when candidates aren't safe. Whether or not
you support the campaign, please
sign the petition urging the White House to grant
Mr. Kennedy Secret Service protection.
Some people suspect that the Biden
administration is denying Secret Service protection in order to drain
the campaign of funds (private security is extremely expensive). You
can help with that too, by contributing to the campaign. Your donation will help keep Bobby safe.
Thank you for your support of RFK,
Jr.'s safety.
Team Kennedy https://www.kennedy24.com/
