I got simultaneous emails from Coby Dillard and Chris Hill this morning about one of the newest “9-12 candidates”. 9\/12.org was apparently founded to highlight the candidacy of potential politicians who share their values and principles<\/a>. Why they let this guy in is beyond me;<\/p>\n

\"kokesh-9-12\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you go to the page wherein this organization endorses Kokesh<\/a>, it gives a brief biography – but somehow, between his honorable discharge in 2006 and his candidacy for Congress, the details get a little thin. Details like his General Dischage, arrests for trespassing, arrest for failing to obey a police officer, arrest for illegally putting up posters on Federal property, putting up bogus fliers trying to frame a conservative student group around the GWU campus. Little things like that. It’s all summed up in these lines;<\/p>\n

Driven by a deep intolerance for injustice, Adam has also done extensive work to alleviate, minimize, and prevent the human suffering that inevitably arises from forceful government intervention.<\/p>\n

In addition to addressing the kind of suffering he experienced first-hand in Fallujah, he has organized to help veterans struggling with PTSD, railed against 4th Amendment violations, and stood up against the Federal Reserve.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, he helped veterans struggling with PTSD – with his prescription of xanax and gin. And storing his urine in the fridge at the IVAW Treehouse. Oh, it doesn’t mention Kokesh’s membership in IVAW at all. I wonder why?<\/p>\n

Apparently, this 9-12 organization doesn’t screen the candidates they support very well. I’d find it hard to support any of their candidates based on this one endorsement. Two minutes of searching this blog with Kokesh’s name would turn up enough evidence to drop him from their rolls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
