• Close loopholes and tighten enforcement against illegal corporate union-busting
• Increase government assistance programs like food stamps
• Fund increase with reinvested funds from military escapades abroad
• Bobby supports universal free school lunch

American homeownership has declined by 2 million units since COVID. The median home price has risen from $250,000 in 2019 to $400,000 in 2023. Mortgage interest rates have more than doubled since Joe Biden took office in January 2021, while private equity firms have leveraged their massive resources to gobble up substantial portions of available housing stock. A program of tax-free 3% government-backed mortgage bonds will lower interest rates and spur a broad surge in home buying. Local governments must be encouraged to change zoning laws to spur the construction of ancillary rental units on residential properties and to incentivize the rehabilitation of abandoned lots and buildings for affordable housing. Through changes to the tax code, corporations will find it unprofitable to purchase large portfolios of private housing stock.

America’s domestic policies must be revamped to align with 21st-century realities.

Americans who work hard should be able to afford a home, a car, to have a family if they choose, child care, health care, education, and a vacation. They should be able to save for retirement and emergencies. America’s domestic policies must be revamped to align with 21st-century realities. Stopping the forever wars – which have cost the U.S. Treasury $8 trillion over the last twenty years – is priority one. Funding for the military will be redirected to a modernized clean energy grid and to revolutionize our deteriorated transportation sector with high-speed trains and EV charging stations. Imagine the skilled, high-paying jobs these critical improvements will create. The minimum wage has to be raised, access to free childcare expanded, and a program of 3% mortgages created to stimulate a new generation of homeownership. Student loan debt must be made dischargeable in bankruptcy court and interest rates on those loans slashed to zero. Prescription drug prices must be cut in half and the chronic disease epidemic tackled. Real tax code reform has to be addressed to roll-back unfair corporate tax subsidies and exemptions. Working people can no longer carry the unfair burden of financing our government while handed worsening socio-economic prospects in return.

Americans want healthy whole food, clean water, and air. They want to protect our bountiful rivers, forests, grasslands, wetlands, and majestic national parks. But corporate capture of the federal agencies established to safeguard our public health and natural resources has rendered their pronouncements suspect and our safety at risk. The entrenched power of Big Ag must be dislodged to allow more creative food production processes to emerge. Pesticides and industrial pollution have to be strictly controlled, but most importantly, our regulatory agencies have to be returned to public servants and taken away from corporate lackeys.

• Kennedy would support a bipartisan assault weapons ban. He’s quoted as saying, “I do not believe that there is, within the second amendment, anything we can meaningfully do to reduce the trade in the ownership of guns, and I’m not going to take people’s guns away.” [The Hill, June 28, 2023]
  

• Kennedy will end the failed War on Drugs that fueled America’s mass incarceration and release non-violent offenders jailed under its statutes. He believes that American prisons should move from a punishment model to a rehabilitative one and that cannabis should be legalized. Drug addiction should not be criminalized but also rehabilitated through networks of organic farms.
  

• He is opposed to qualified immunity for law enforcement. He wants to move policing back to the community model of walking neighborhoods, developing relationships with residents, and building trust, not invoking fear and panic. Training in de-escalation and mediation skills will be implemented. We must tamp down on the adversarial nature of the police-citizen relationship and incentivize police to prevent violence, not to make unnecessary arrests to meet a monthly quota.
  

• Kennedy supports a federal anti-Black hate crime law and will appoint an attorney general who will aggressively pursue investigations into alleged hate crimes and police misconduct.

• RFK supports the 2nd amendment, as he does the entire US Constitution. He has stated clearly several times that he’s not going to take people's guns away.

• We need to look at other causes of violence,, including division among Americans, distrust of government, different pharmaceuticals such as SSRIs, video games, and other areas.

• Of course, not everyone on SSRIs goes insane and kills people, but not everyone who smokes gets cancer, and nonetheless,, there is a connection.

• The NIH should be studying what happened to make school shootings a novel reality in modern America.

• Legalize Cannabis on the federal level

• Tax it to fund a national recovery program

• Build recovery programs in rural America

• Incorporate organic farming into programs

• Tackle addiction and rural revitalization at the same time

• Repeal the 1994 crime bill that led to record levels of incarceration of African Americans..

• Work to secure early release for nonviolent offenders.

• Restructure incarceration so it is based on rehabilitation rather than punishment.

• He will be tough on keeping violent criminals off the street but generous in supporting the human spirit’s natural desire to change and reform.

• What’s happening on our southern border is a humanitarian crisis.

• It’s a disgraceful reflection of the political class’s abdication of its primary function: to govern, to safeguard national security, and to alleviate suffering.

• Over the last three years, some 7 million people have entered the United States, most of them illegally. While many are fleeing legitimate persecution and possible death in their native countries, most are coming here for work.

• The border crisis is overwhelming local jurisdictions and fueling xenophobic bigotry that some politicians and pundits use to whip up more division among everyday Americans. At the same time, our president seems oblivious that a crisis exists. The immigrants are preyed upon by cartels and human traffickers. They’re stripped of their meager belongings and raped and murdered or left to die of thirst in the desert. How can our government ignore this? President Biden has failed to exercise leadership and to take effective action. It’s a surrender to dystopia. We’re losing Border Patrol agents to suicide; they’re so demoralized. Compassion and decency demand that we not allow the current situation to continue.

• These people are families, mothers, and children desperate to find a haven, a place to work and live with some hope. And they’re not just from Latin and South America but from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, many of them driven out by conditions our military and political misadventures have created. But our country simply cannot give carte blanche to everyone who wants to come here to work and live.

• RFK Jr will seal the border to stanch the crisis and immediately appoint an adequate number of asylum judges to adjudicate asylum cases on the spot. Now, asylum applicants are given a court date seven years later and allowed in! The more significant challenge is to overhaul our long-neglected immigration policy. We’ve got to have a fair and orderly process for entry combined with regulated work and student visas that Kennedy will expand. Additionally, American employers must be brought to heel for their illegal hiring practices. One way to enforce legal hiring in this country is to issue every American a passport card free of charge – right now, they cost anywhere from $65 to $120. By requiring a passport for legal employment, Kennedy believes we will discourage illegal immigrants from coming, knowing that these documents are difficult to fabricate or to secure without proof of American citizenship.

• Bobby Kennedy believes that every abortion is a tragedy but that it’s a choice that must reside with women.

• As a leading proponent of medical autonomy, Kennedy believes Americans have a fundamental right to make decisions and choices for their bodies. That’s not the government’s job.

• Kennedy does not support legislation banning abortion.

• Censorship is profoundly anti-democratic and an enabling tool of corruption. Bobby is often fond of saying that those censoring others were rarely on the right side of things throughout history. He has the honor of being censored for his truth-telling by the Trump and Biden Administrations.

• One of the key facts we learned from the Twitter Files was that White House staff coordinated with Big Tech to censor Bobby, which is a clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

• And why do they censor him? Because he dissents from the government’s disastrous policies in many areas, and when he does so, he does so with all-too-unpleasant facts. \

• When he gets into office, Bobby will make defending the First Amendment one of his top priorities. Under his watch, this central right of the American people will be vigilantly defended from all the authoritarian elements seeking to efface it from the Constitution.

The revolving door between industry and government must end and whistleblowers must be protected. Our national motto has long been that ours is a government of, by, and for the people, but over the last several decades, people have lost their collective power to neoliberalism and an ideology that says business always knows best. As a result, corporations now direct every facet of our government’s activity, from Big Tech helping our intelligence agencies to spy on and censor free Americans; to Big Pharma controlling the CDC, NIH, and FDA; to the weapons manufacturers fomenting for-profit war and blowback abroad. Transparency and trust in our government can be restored only through a robust culture of dedicated civil service. The revolving door between industry and government must end and whistleblowers must be protected.

• The United States is spending billions of dollars around the world and in places like Ukraine to “spread democracy,” yet when it comes to our Presidential elections, the elites at the DNC, the mainstream media, and other centers of establishment power are blocking candidates who challenge entrenched-power and stand up for the people.

• Right now, voters thirst for authenticity and substantive discussion around big issues like war and peace, the economy, corporate capture of our regulatory agencies, etc.

• Bobby’s campaign is based on spirited, provocative, raw, and authentic discourse with the American people. He’s running on restoring “Truth” to the heart of our national conversation.

• Bobby wants to end the disastrous forever wars and reinvest the funds used for foreign interventionism abroad right here on the homefront to benefit the American people.

• Bobby believes that the wars in Ukraine and in Israel/Palestine are equally important from a perspective of peace. The question isn’t where we should devote the next hundred billion in military aid packages. The question is where the focus of our de-escalation and peacemaking efforts should be.

• Both conflicts pose a severe threat to global stability. With Bobby as President, he will push hard for negotiated settlements and a just and durable peace in Ukraine, Israel/Palestine, and throughout the rest of the globe.

• Our war is at home, for better healthcare, schools, infrastructure, health and wellness, for more affordable housing, and against growing wealth inequality. We don’t need nation-building abroad; we need it right on the homefront.

• Our energy policy should be based on a free market and not top-down control.

• We must end subsidies to Big Oil and allow the free market to determine which energy provider is best.

• What’s going to happen in this revived free market is that renewable energy is going to triumph. Once you build a real wind or solar infrastructure, you will have free energy forever, so it will always be cheaper than the alternative. The problem is that we do not have a transportation system to get them to market. Bobby will spearhead the infrastructure building, allowing everyone to become an energy entrepreneur.

• Corporate interests and neoconservatives hijacked the Democratic Party and became the party of war and corporatism. Betraying the legacy of Bobby’s uncle and father, not to mention the entire traditional ethos of the party, which entailed skepticism of corporate power and the military-industrial complex, the Democrats left behind Kennedy Democrats for good and thereby lost its soul.

• Bobby did not leave the party; the party left him. Out of fidelity to the spirit of the Democratic Party of FDR, JFK, and RFK, Bobby recently declared his independence from all party factionalism so as to fully confront the crisis of democracy in our nation and serve the people.

• This war was sold to the American public with the same kind of comic book depictions with which the disastrous Iraq War was sold to us. It is another neoconservative adventure, one which has brought us to the brink of WW3. Bobby will bring all the parties to the negotiating table and scale back the current policies, leading us to a possible nuclear holocaust, which the American foreign policy establishment is pursuing.

• Russia did not want this war. Russia’s been invaded three times through Ukraine in its history. Through then-Secretary of State Jim Baker and President George H.W Bush, the US promised not to move NATO up to Russia’s border. The continual breaking of this promise to our very own day has resulted in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

• Lockdowns counter all the standard protocols delineated by nearly every international public health agency.

• The censorship that came from opposing the lockdowns was deeply anti-American.

• Lockdowns represented the largest transfer of wealth in the history of mankind. We need to have a program of national justice that can bring the perpetrators to account. '

• Lockdowns amounted to one of the worst weapons ever deployed in the establishment’s war on the working class. Bobby will ensure they never happen again.
