We must remember that which unites us is bigger than that which divides us. <[link removed]> <[link removed]> <[link removed]> <[link removed]>Dear Friend,George Washington is remembered for many things: he was our first President, is often referred to as “the Father of our Country,” and famously crossed the Delaware River with his troops during the war for independence.Washington also gave perhaps the most famous of all presidentialf farewell addresses in 1796, after serving two terms as Chief Executive.Here are a few things he said… - The Unity of Government, which makes us one people, is the main pillar of our real independence.
- The name American, which belongs to you and I, must exalt the just pride of Patriotism. With slight shades of difference, we have the same religion, manners, habits and political principles. We have a common cause…Independence and Liberty.
Washington reminded his fellow countrymen that the Unity we held was sacred, and it was born of the common idea of Liberty. He called upon all of us to remember our purpose.I agree: we must remember that which unites us is bigger than that which divides us.Washington also warned us about our own military. He admonished us to, “avoid the necessity of …overgrown military establishments,” which can “be regarded as particularly hostile to Republican Liberty.”I agree: we must hold the Military Industrial Complex and its contractors accountable for violations of our liberty and violations against our Constitution.He also warned that, “a passionate attachment of one Nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite Nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest, in cases where no real common interest exists” and can lead us into “a participation in the quarrels and wars..without adequate inducement or justification.”I agree: and it’s one reason why I am the only candidate who seeks to bring our troops home and end US military involvement overseas where our interests are not at stake.Washington’s 6,000+ word Farewell Address was prophetic.Today it serves as a clarion call to avoid foreign wars, to be sober about the rise of our own military establishment, and to remember why we are called the “United” States of America in the first place.His warnings and his encouragement 228 years ago resonate with me personally, and with our top campaign goals.It is my aspiration to be a President who prioritizes you and all of the American people–our history, our liberty, our unity and our future.Sincerely,Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.Declare Your Independence <[link removed]> <[link removed]> <[link removed]> <[link removed]> <[link removed]> <[link removed]> <[link removed]> <[link removed]>
