This is a helpful article, thanks Larry. I was not particularly happy with Kennedy's choice but appreciate what you've written here. Good reminder that Shanahan is a strong force for regenerative agriculture. RFK, Jr., is the only candidate who isn't in the pocket of corporate America. Trump is a pawn of Big Pharma and Biden is owned by the military-industrial complex. Neither of those candidates has an iota of scientific literacy, not to mention the kind of depth and backbone that Bobby Kennedy has. We would be incredibly lucky to have him as president.

Mark, Nichole is a brilliant choice! Every time I hear her speak in interviews and podcasts (She also now has her own) If you have not truly tuned into her in doing form podcasts, please do. I am further impressed with what a tremendous VP candidate she is. I can think of no one who is actually better qualified to take on the pressing issues off these days. She is deeply tuned to the younger generations, whose time to direct the narratives has come , who will find a potent representation in her. We need to think far outside of the box now!

We also need to shift taxes off of labor and production and onto the "commons rent" (land value tax) to stop land hoarding and speculation and to keep land affordable for more labor intensive regenerative agriculture. - see www.theIU.org

I've been wanting to write a follow up blog to this one below since December. Many of the volunteers were initially disappointed when Bobby chose Nicole, but after watching both movies and hearing her speak so passionately a lot of us feel it was a wise choice. https://www.people4kennedy.com/robert-f-kennedy-jr-the-lakota-medicine-man-and-me/
