Open letter to the American people who are too good for this government,
Leadership is not difficult. Good leadership is painfully difficult.
Good leaders need to inspire and motivate. They should create a vision. They should coach. They should be approachable. They should be tireless.
Good leaders should receive criticism and engage it with love and curiosity. The Adam Kokesh American Referendum Project has received some criticism recently. Here is what we did: We listened. We read. We reached out and talked to people who may have been affected by our statements or actions. We collaborated, and we were able to stand together. Unified. What this campaign does is about ALL OF US. Make no mistake about that. If you speak, we need to listen. We may not always agree but we will come to the table with love.
One recent critique was regarding the use of donor money for a donation to the Libertarian Party. That donation has come under fire for a few reasons. We heard each of them. One that stood out though was whether the donors who ‘donated to bail money’ would be okay to have their money redirected to the LP. This concern should be validated. Because we heard you, we reached out to the donors who requested their money go towards bail. Here is one of the responses:
“My donation to Adam in this crisis is about the whole problem. I find it encouraging that he is making this statement and willing to keep himself in that cage ran by terrorists. I stand by my donation. “- (wishing to remain private I will release the name to those who ask individually).
Personally, I want to thank each and everyone who took the time to say anything be it positive or negative. You are why we do this. If not for your voice, we are nothing.
I also wish to thank you for helping us always be better, always be stronger, always fight harder. You are our leaders.
Recently, I have witnessed organizations who do have leaders. Leaders who manage meetings. Leaders who motivate or inspire. But not GOOD leaders.
Adam is not one of them. Adam is a GOOD leader. And I trust you to hold him to it.

Very well said, leadership is not difficult, situation teaches us
Adam. Sorry to see how much fascism is taking over America and the world. I suggest daily prayer even if you're an aethiest.
we are behind you in your struggles. hope we all unite to gain freedom and abolish the bondage we're into.
i love this post
please follow and upvote me thanks
If Adam did not specifically ask for donations for the bail and someone decides to give him money for bail, Adam should not be forced to use that money for something that he does not think it should be used for. So I believe he did the right thing to divert the money to the next most important thing that he thinks it should be used for. Just my opinion.
Thank you Ms. Angela Fisher, Campaign Manager, for keeping the posts and updates coming. #Stradog in Gun Barrel City, Texas #Freedom4All #FreeAdam
I appreciate the rejection of posting bail.
In order to "fight" for freedom we must not acquiesce. By peacefully resisting the extortion he not only forces them to act out their violence, but he is also now in a position to interact with those doing the enforcing.
Adam, I hope you can continue to find the love and peace to connect and empathize with your captors(and those you interact with).
Empathy first and the change will come without effort.
If just a few drops of water find their way into the stoney hearts they will stay. They will be there patiently, lovingly, waiting. When the conditions are met that water will crack the hardest stone.
The slightest shifts can lead to glacial movements when the time is right.
I imagine it is very tough to have your plans interrupted and to be kidnapped and caged.
I send you good thoughts and supportive energy.
May you be like water.
The LP is a waste, and therefore so is Adam's campaign. Most libertarians drop the big 'L' along their way.
