March on the White House: February 20, 2012

RON PAUL IS THE CHOICE OF THE TROOPS!


We, the founders of Veterans for Ron Paul 2012, Nathan Cox and Adam Kokesh, propose a Veterans and Active Duty March for Ron Paul on President's Day, Monday, February 20th, giving us enough time to plan and promote, and in plenty of time for an impact on Super Tuesday, March 6th. We will apply for a proper permit from the Parks Department and coordinate with appropriate authorities to gather in the vicinity (at the base if possible) of the Washington Monument, have a brief chance for veterans to speak, nothing special, possibly even as little as a soapbox and a bullhorn, but we'll see. Then, at 1pm, line up in formation on 15th St NW facing North towards Constitution Ave NW, march in formation to the White House, turn our backs to the White House, then "present arms" (hold a hand salute) to a folded flag for as many seconds as service members have died since Obama took office, then march silently back to the Washington monument and fall out. Family members are invited to march behind the formation, and members of KIA families are invited to place their hands on the folded flag during the salute.

This will be followed by a designated time and place for media availability, and/or a reception to take place at another location. This has the benefit of being effective even if we only have a platoon-sized element of participants, but imagine if we could have an impressive number of vets and even active duty soldiers participate in this gesture! How many would join us in demanding that Ron Paul be recognized as the choice of the troops?

Marchers are encouraged to wear something symbolic of their support for Ron Paul, and their service, like a piece of uniform like a hat or a patch and carry proof of service. Active duty troops are invited to participate in full recognition of the regulations regarding political speech. It is an absurd proposition to say that members of the military supporting candidates in uniform would be construed to represent official positions of the government and rules regarding free speech for members of the military have only been used to silence dissent and keep the true will of the troops from being relevant in the American political discourse. Well, NOT ANY MORE!

We intend to rally at noon at the Washington Monument, and step of at one, but we will coordinate with appropriate authorities and exact details are subject to change.

Proof of service will be required to march in the formation. We will accept DD-214 with matching ID, military ID, VA ID, or clear photograph in a clearly on-duty situation.

  3. http://apps.leeclerk.org/Criminal_detail_new.asp?CsNum=04-CF-017346&CsType=Adult

    From reading this, it appears he was arrested in 2004 for burglary, theft of a firearm and possession of burglary tools.

    He was granted what amounts to "probation before judgement" then arrested a second time in 2006, then (it looks like) charged with possession of a concealed weapon and violation of probation. It looks like his probation was reinstated - unlikely had the CW charge "stuck" so...

    Then roughly 6 months later there was a motion filed for early termination of probation which was granted.

    Sorry - but this is not the sort of thing that happens when the court has *ANY* reason to believe the person was guilty or "a bad guy" in any way.

    I'm willing to bet that this came out of a bad divorce or something similar -- you just don't get to walk on a "burglary/grand theft of a firearm" felony if you're guilty.

    Add in "early termination of probation" **AFTER** an alleged *VIOLATION*?

    THAT *NEVER* HAPPENS - ESPECIALLY in FloriDUH!

    All that said, one can't blame RP for not "Vetting" the guy on the day in the middle of the Iowa caucuses, either...

    As to the "political activity in uniform" it looked to me like he went to *VOTE* and was pulled by a CNN reporter... Should he have refused? By the book, I think so - but...

    To me, it's not as if he left home intending to get on TV to endorse RP - it seems to have just "happened"...

    I wouldn't vote for anything more than a "talking to" if I were on a CM board...

  5. Oh... PS...

    While I'm at this...

    I don't know this guy from Adam - and it's not my job to defend him.

    That said, if you were to look into MY background, you'd find arrests for:

    Date 1:
    - Breaking and Entering an occupied dwelling (ie: "Home Invasion"
    - Assault with a deadly weapon - Firearm
    - Possession of a firearm while in commission of a Felony
    - (a few more "add-ons" I can't remember ATM...

    Date 2: (A couple of months later, BEFORE the previous went to trial)
    - Violation of a protective-order
    - Assault with a deadly weapon - Firearm
    - Possession of a firearm while in commission of a Felony
    - (a few MORE "add-ons" I can't remember ATM...

    Date 3: (A couple of months after #2)
    - Statutory sexual abuse of a child under age 8
    - a bunch of other crap I can't recall ATM...

    CLEARLY I'm a HORRIBLE, DANGEROUS, SICK POS who doesn't deserve to LIVE, much less walk around FREE - right?

    Here's the thing...

    #1: Case dismissed (after I proved I was ~1500 miles away in another frigging COUNTRY at the time she claimed I broke in her house and terrorized her with a gun...

    #2: Case dismissed (after I proved SHE was the aggressor and that all I'd said to her was "PLEASE don't do this in front of the kids..." about 50 times...

    #3: Not guilty - I was eventually awarded sole legal custody of the daughters I'd supposedly been molesting, the youngest of which is now 18.

    CHARGES MEAN *SHITE* - it's only CONVICTIONS that count!

    You can't judge a man by BS some sick b!+(h pulled in the middle of their divorce...

  6. Exactly and my childhood friend went through your number three charge, but was cleared when the child finally admitted that her mom told her to say this. Now this crap gets me really, really pissed off.
