American Values 2024 (AV24) to Fund Ballot Access for Kennedy in Five Additional States
Signature Gathering Already Under Way in Michigan, Arizona, and Georgia
American Values 2024 (AV24), the super PAC supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s candidacy for president, announced it will begin signature gathering on February 13 in Maryland, Massachusetts, South Carolina, and West Virginia, furthering the goal of getting Kennedy on the ballot in all 50 states. Indiana will be added once a VP nominee has been selected. [AV24 funds The Kennedy Beacon.]
“We believe that Kennedy can get to 270 electoral votes and win the election in November of 2024. He has the best ideas, the best arguments, and the best policies. As we get closer to the election, we are confident that voters will abandon the uniparty and support Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent candidacy. We are doing everything we can to ensure Bobby gets on the ballot in all 50 states and DC,” said Tony Lyons, co-founder of AV24.
According to Gallup, independents continue to constitute the largest political bloc in the US, with an average of 43% of US adults identifying this way in 2023, tying the record high from 2014. The most recent Harvard-Harris poll found that 55% of voters would consider a “moderate independent” in the event of a Biden-Trump rematch and two in three voters polled believe America needs “another choice” in the event of that rematch.
AV24’s initial efforts in Arizona are off to a great start despite the expected hurdles. Arizona requires all circulators to be registered through an online portal. Each also has to have a temporary address in the state to be able to register to collect signatures. This onboarding process is complicated. As of today, there are 200 circulators approved and working on the ground. AV24 expects 10,000 signatures by Sunday, February 4.
In Georgia, circulators have collected more than 1,700 signatures so far and an additional 10,000 are expected by the end of the week.
“The ballot access process is stacked against third-party or independent candidates with a combination of legal, structural, and political factors. We have to adhere to rigorous guidelines and deadlines for signature collection, which vary from state to state. Each signature we collect will go through validation reviews before being accepted to ensure that each signatory is a registered voter in the respective state and the information provided is accurate,” explained Lyons. “We continue to observe how the two major parties enact or maintain laws that protect their corrupt monopoly against genuine democracy. Given this, we are prepared to address any legal or procedural challenges that arise,” added Lyons.

I am all about getting 3rd parties (and 3th, and 5th!) viable for all future USA (S)elections. That said?
I want to know who is funding these new, hopefully up & coming parties. Because the same oligarchs & special interests already fund both sides of the authorized mono party. And I'm QUITE sure they will be hedging their bets by "investing" in campaign donations to continue holding power over any promising new party.
Kristi Noem for VP! Steal her from Trump! Reach out to her!
Trump first approaches Bobby for VP then turns around and calls Bobby “radical leftist.” Oh, come on! This is name calling, not fair comment.
The “lockdowns” argument against Trump does not quite work for me. At the outset EVERYBODY agreed to a temporary lockdown. Trump himself expressed interest in opening up as well as HCQ roll out. He had the petitions on his desk and communication with Zelenko. But he lacked the confidence to execute in the face of his corrupt HHS “chiefs of staff” so to speak. He was literally too dumb to recognize and act on what his OWN advisors … that HE brought in to the WH … were telling him. His inability to can Fauci was an historic disaster. Sometimes there is no second chance. He pulled failure from the jaws of victory. SO CLOSE to averting disaster, but it was not to be. The idiots won by fooling and bullying Trump.
Moreover here is where I find Trump unsuitable for the presidency: failure to pardon Assange and failure to release the JFK documents. These failures have dark inferences most Americans cannot imagine.
Trump’s cruel treatment of immigrants who had entered illegally but had long since been model citizens was unnecessary and a boon to Democrats looking for talking points. Foolish and unnecessary.
Kristi Noem was a new Governor of SD who had the courage to resist the Federal government pressure. She kept businesses open. This is the kind of character and independent judgement we need.
I will read her books.
BTW Bobby is right about many boomers captured by MSM and declining to LOOK at alternative sources and apply critical thought. This is a vestige of American exceptionalism and elitism. They long to be “on the winning side.” They believe that pandering to the Uber wealthy elite, they will be on their team. But boomers who are exclusive NYT readers are no more on the team of the wealthy elite than the slave laborers of Auschwitz were on the SS team. They suffer from a self serving illusion. An example: 100% of Biden’s electorate were poisoned by the shots. And they were insufferably smug about it. When you are dead, disabled or lifespan truncated, who was the winner?
Ordinary citizens are expected to dedicate their productivity to the service of the cabal. They can die later. Or they can die now. Either way, they want us dead. The antithesis of personal sovereignty, the premise of our Constitution.
