Republicans Now Say Kokesh Was Right

By Andrew Sharp, on Mar 19, 2010

Veterans like Adam Kokesh put their lives on the line to defend our country, and yet too often they are sent abroad to search for enemies to destroy and nations to "build" by out-of-touch bureaucrats in DC.  Finally, it seems like there is a consensus emerging among Republicans in Congress that the Iraq war was a mistake.  

“I will say that the decision to go in, in retrospect, almost all of us think that was a horrible mistake. …Now that we know that it cost a trillion dollars, and all of these years, and all of these lives, and all of this blood… all I can say is everyone I know thinks it was a mistake to go in now.”

- Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA)

On the other hand, the allegedly "anti-war" Obama Administration has now doubled the amount of troops in Afghanistan, and he wants to spend another $33 billion there that we don't have.  In fact, Obama's Defense budget is larger than any of George W. Bush's, and annual war spending now surpasses healthcare, education, welfare, and safety spending by all fifty state governments combined.  We recently mourned the death of the 1,000th soldier in Afghanistan, and 2009 was the bloodiest year for American and NATO soldiers there.

Kokesh Looks Forward to Victory in June

By Andrew Sharp, on Mar 15, 2010

Adam Kokesh received 19.5% of the party leadership vote in the Third Congressional District at the Republican Party of New Mexico's Pre-primary Convention on Saturday.  Regardless, our grassroots campaign is currently organizing a nominating petition drive to insure Adam is on the ballot.  This mobilization will prepare us for victory in June.

"Our campaign is energized, and we're committed to winning the primary election," said Adam.  "We are a grassroots campaign, and over the next two and half months we will be calling on our many supporters to help us win this important election, and do our part to unseat the Luján-Pelosi-Reid Congress and stop the Obama agenda."

Adam would like to thank all of the delegates, party officials, and volunteers for their time and effort.  Their hard work is what keeps the Republican Party going, and the Kokesh campaign looks forward to being a part of the GOP comeback in November.

Please help us gather signatures by March 26th.  Contact Jeff Kotowski at Jeff@kokeshforcongress.com or call (505)470-1917 for more information on how you can help.

Adam Meets with US Rep. Sessions (R-TX)

By Andrew Sharp, on Mar 14, 2010

Adam had a chance to meet with US Rep. Sessions (R-TX) during the State Pre-primary Convention in Albuquerque this weekend.  Rep. Sessions gave an inspirational speech on Saturday night about the need for 3 Republican Congressman to be elected from New Mexico.  Rep. Sessions is the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, the group which helps elect Republican members of Congress.  Here is the photo of him and Adam:

Michelle Malkin vs. Adam Kokesh

By Andrew Sharp, on Mar 12, 2010

From Brigette Russell at Moraliablog.com:

Adam Kokesh is a candidate in the Republican primary for a New Mexico Congressional seat that Republicans virtually never win.  Third District GOP candidates rarely make it onto the radar screens of the Big Guns of the national political scene.  To be sure, Michelle Malkin is one of those Big Guns, and the day before yesterday, she fixed her cross-hairs on Adam Kokesh.

Congratulations, Adam.  When Michelle Malkin picks on you, you’ve hit big time.

Malkin calls Kokesh “an anti-war smear merchant in GOP clothing” and urges her readers who have friends and family in New Mexico to “make sure they know who the real Adam Kokesh is.”

Does Ms. Malkin, I wonder, know who “the real Adam Kokesh” is?  I’m  not sure, but I’d guess she doesn’t know Mr. Kokesh personally.  When I see Adam at the New Mexico State GOP Convention tomorrow, I’ll ask him.  Because, you see, I do know Adam Kokesh.

Constitutional Rights More Important Than Fear Mongering

By Andrew Sharp, on Mar 12, 2010

There are some within the GOP who would abandon Constitutional rights and the rule of law just to try and score some political points.  This fringe element is not embraced by the vast majority of conservatives in America, and it is important for those of us who care about our country to speak out when these sorts of attacks are made.

In order to have a strong Justice System in this country, we must allow rigorous defense of even the most unpopular defendants.  This is an American tradition that goes back further than the US Constitution itself, and is a cornerstone of our legal framework.  Counter-terrorism adjudication in particular should not be hindered by political gamesmanship.

A letter was recently issued by conservative leaders across the country condemning these attacks, and Adam Kokesh supports their efforts to keep our country safe by holding our principles and values as sacred.

Read the letter here.
