57 years ago today, Sirhan B. Sirhan fired the fatal shot... [View all]

assassinating Senator Robert F. Kennedy (Sr.) America would never be the same.



RFK has been my political hero for as long as I can remember. His vision of caring for and uplifting others, the "least" of us, has been my guiding star in politics. America was robbed of its soul that day, and it has never been returned to us. That theft has given us Nixon, Reagan, the bushes, and now tRump, to name only a few. Along the way, we suffered Jesse Helms ("Senator No" ), Newt Gingrich, Addison McConnell, Rafael Cruz, MT Greene, Gym Jordan, and a host of other unsavory characters. Our task now is to reclaim the legacy of RFK, and rebuild America in his image.

RIP, Bobby. We miss you very much. (I'm truly sorry your namesake turned out the way he has.)
