We worked closely with Ted Kennedy on deregulation.

We’re happy to see other Kennedys are interested, here and Ireland.

You can help in at least three ways:

2. fundraise

25% commission on any money you can raise by phone, email, web ads, or any other methods. Call me at 415-690-6352 for details. Unfortunately I have very little time for/access to internet right now, it’s a lot easier by phone.

3. Gather ballot access signatures

Currently at $1/signature paid by check on delivery. The price may go up if the fundraising does well, but right now Joe is just trying to recoup the money he borrowed against his house for the bare minimum of signatures. I’m up here getting him signatures now, and we need more petitioners.

Oh yeah….you can also help with publicity by spreading joekennedyforsenate.com as widely as possible.

As individuals I don’t consider the Kennedys to be “sleezeballs” any more than some Libertarian politicians I’ve encountered over the years. In fact, judging from some of the inflammatory posts I’ve come across on this website concerning Libertarian leaders and activists, I’m inclined to favor the Kennedys, including the “real” (former congressman) Joe Kennedy.

Wayne Allen Roots book hits the #6 spot for political books on Amazon.
YEAH!
congratulations Wayne!
still kicking ass I see:)

I do have a problem with Kennedys using their money and fame to take advantage of their opponents. And I have a bigger problem with sleazy nebbishes who take advantage of the fact that most voters will confuse their real name with someone else.

Of course he could change his name for ballot purposes so as not to confuse voters with his real name. If his real name was Adolf Hitler I’m sure he would have it changed.

I might have a smidgeon of respect for the guy if he had been a long-time libertarian activist who had run for public office in the past as a Libertarian candidate. By his own admission he only recently joined the Libertarian Party, which makes me even more suspicious as to his real motive.

BTW, whatever happened to Carla Howell? She ran for governor a few years ago and seemed to be a credible candidate. Did she go the way of all the others?

It’s not only disrespectful to the Kennedy family, but former Congressman Joe Kennedy in particular.

BTW, I see he admits he did not become a Libertarian until recently. I wonder why, besides the usual rightwing mantra about “big spending and deficits”. He sounds more like just another Bob Barr/Wayne Root opportunist taking advantage of his real name.

“In Massachusetts politics, that’s a real plus, the sort of thing that will help voters hear his ideas and decide this is a man they can trust.”

That’s baloney. I’ve seen this sort of thing before. He’ll get alot of votes but that’s only because most of them will walk into the voting booth, recognize the name and cast their vote accordingly.

If the LP can’t sell their ideas on their own merits, and have to resort to cheap tricks to draw attention to themselves, then maybe their ideas aren’t worth peddling.

I suppose the ends justify the means. But not in this case.

I’m not a libertarian, but I used to have some respect for their ideas even if I didn’t agree with them. Note the past tense.
