Weekend News Round Up – RFK Jr. Builds 2024 Momentum Addressing Issues Americans Care About, Rising Above Negative Politics with a Message of Hope

“Many experts are projecting that the candidates for president this year will spend two billion dollars apiece to get themselves elected. I suppose that is what it costs to convince people that you are the lesser of two evils. But what does it cost if people actually like you? What does it cost if you are actually discussing the issues that people care about instead of slinging mud at your opponents? I’ve only spent fifteen million dollars, and I’m already beating both of the former presidents in all Americans under the age of forty-five. I’m beating them both among independent voters. In the battleground states I’m in third place by only by about ten points behind the two billion-dollar men.” – RFK Jr.

Kennedy Jr. has met the signature requirement to qualify to be on Utah’s 2024 general election presidential ballot, the Salt Lake County clerk’s office confirmed to CBS News Thursday, pushing the independent candidate one step closer to getting on the ballot in that state” – RFK Jr. meets signature threshold in Utah to qualify for ballot | CBS News.

More big Kennedy news:

“When you talk about Kennedy and explain Kennedy’s positions to people, they’re much more likely to at least want to give Kennedy a chance,” Sipe said. “This is what this is about. We’re kind of saying, let’s give someone else a chance rather than the duopoly. You’re not throwing away your primary vote (by giving) a signature to put him on the ballot. You’re just giving someone a chance.” – RFK Jr.’s daunting task: How he’s relying on volunteers to get him on SC’s ballot | The State

As we enter a new year, I thought that it would be good to hear what RFK Jr. intends to accomplish in his campaign – RFK Jr.’s Presidency Would Serve ALL Americans.

“I’m going to run a civil, respectful campaign and I’m not going to run attack ads to scare you into voting for me. I’m not going to play the game of ‘who do you hate the least?’ I mean to take the attention away from those divisive, culture war issues and focus instead on the ideas that can unite our country.” – RFK Jr.

Unity, respect, peace, prosperity. That is a good proposal for a better America in 2024.

Have a happy and safe New Year!
