"I'm RFKJ, and I approved this self-serving message."

[CorpGovActivist]

1. all political ads are self serving. what else is new? nt

[CorpGovActivist]

2. Yeah, but a lot of new voters may not get the implications here.

So it bears saying out loud.

[bidenista]

3. ugh

RFK Jr's little finger has done more for TRULY progressive causes than you and your herd of Kool-Aid sloganeers will manage in a lifetime. Give it a rest.

[CorpGovActivist]

5. So, you admit that he's got a personal pony in this primary?

[GalleryGod]

4. Get in line, Bobby,Jr.

Andrew Cuomo...and a host of others.

[CorpGovActivist]

6. Yup, there's a little bit of talent in NY.

Deep, deep bench up there.

7. That doesn't help

Don't bash RFK. It's petty and juvenile. I don't care why he made his decision, it's his to make.

[CorpGovActivist]

8. It's his to make. But it's ours to evaluate.

[bigtree]

9. Who in politics isn't self-serving to some degree. Let's disregard ALL endorsements then

give ME a break with this empty criticism of a fine public servant and activist.


Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is credited with leading the fight to protect New York City's water supply, but his reputation as a resolute defender of the environment stems from a litany of successful legal actions. The list includes winning numerous settlements for Riverkeeper, prosecuting governments and companies for polluting the Hudson River and Long Island Sound, arguing cases to expand citizen access to the shoreline, and suing treatment plants to force compliance with the Clean Water Act.

Mr. Kennedy acts as Chief Prosecuting Attorney for Riverkeeper. He also serves as Senior Attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council and as President of the Waterkeeper Alliance. At Pace University School of Law, he is a Clinical Professor and Supervising Attorney at the Environmental Litigation Clinic in White Plains, New York. Earlier in his career Mr. Kennedy served as Assistant District Attorney in New York City.

The New York City watershed agreement, which he negotiated on behalf of environmentalists and the city's watershed consumers, is regarded as an international model in stakeholder consensus negotiations and sustainable development. He helped lead the fight to turn back the aggressive anti-environmental legislation during the 104th Congress.

Mr. Kennedy has worked on environmental issues across the Americas. He has assisted several indigenous tribes in Latin America and Canada in successfully negotiating treaties protecting traditional homelands.

Mr. Kennedy has published several books, including "The Riverkeepers" (1997) with John Cronin. His articles have appeared in The New York Times, Atlantic Monthly, The Wall Street Journal, Esquire, The Village Voice, The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, Pace Environmental Law Review, and other publications.

Mr. Kennedy is a graduate of Harvard University. He studied at the London School of Economics and received his law degree from the University of Virginia Law School. He also received a Masters Degree in Environmental Law from Pace University.

He has organized and led several expeditions to Latin America, including first descents on three little known rivers in Peru, Columbia, and Venezuela.

11. I admire Joseph P. Kennedy II and CitizensEnergy initiative...

... and would be much more inclined to tout that endorsement, if I were in her shoes.

Has Joe endorsed?

- Dave

[flpoljunkie]

10. He ends, "We need a president who will represent the people's interests, not the special interests."

Disingenuous, at best--when Hillary Clinton has received more money from special interests. federal lobbyists, than any candidate in either party.

[Tom Rinaldo]

12. Hint. Attacking RFK Jr can be hazardous to your general advocacy efforts n/t

[CorpGovActivist]

13. Hint: thinking people are too dumb to figure out the full range of his motivations is hazardous...

... to his endorsed candidate.

- Dave

[CorpGovActivist]

14. Well, there's that Hillarypocricy, too.

But RFKJ has a pretty pony of his own in this primary.

[bigtree]

15. yet, he contends (correctly) that she has represented the people's interests

despite that support from 'special interests'

[BenDavid]

16. Who cares if he's running for HRC senate seat....Goodness,

maybe if you were not one of the many democrats that believe every word the whore media feeds you then maybe you could post what his endorsement really means....
It was not JFK that invested time and energy in helping the latino community. It was not Ted Kennedy that has helped the latino community more then his brother Bobby. It has been the work of the Bobby Kennedy children i e Jr. that has kept right on being supportive of the latino community. Here again you have the whore media reporting all about Ted and Caroline Kennedy's endorsement and the whore media getting nostalgia about JFK and under reporting the influence of Bobby Kennedy and his children.

[CorpGovActivist]

17. Some voters might consider that salient...

... as they weigh his endorsement in the balance.

- Dave

[WinkyDink]

18. RFKJR. don't forget the "R". Thanx.

[CorpGovActivist]

19. The J stands for Junior.
