Independent Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. launched #AmericaStrong, his vision for how he will heal the country, on Monday.
America Strong is Kennedy's plan to heal the division, restore the country's prosperity, and ensure the upcoming election does not end with half of of the country feeling alienated.
Kennedy has committed to lead a unity government — four years of truly cross-partisan governance, representing all our people, not just the victors - and America Strong is the blueprint for that.
“We’ve given the Democrats a chance to fix this country. We’ve given Republicans a chance,” Kennedy said. “What has not had a chance is a unity government, headed by an independent President beholden to no party, free from corporate influence, owing no favors to the Washington establishment, and ready to recruit the best ideas from both parties and from all those who have been left out.”
Kennedy first shared his America Strong platform on July 12 at FreedomFest Vegas, just one day before the assassination attempt on President Trump. During his keynote, Kennedy described a nation swiftly approaching a state of crisis. The crisis, he said, is a crisis of trust in government, which leads to one of national division.

Kennedy’s America Strong platform will:
-
appoint a cabinet comprising members of the Democratic and Republican parties, as well as Libertarians and people from outside any party.
-
convene a cross-partisan advisory committee to propose and select Supreme Court judges.
-
carefully examine whether any prosecutions of public and private officials were politically motivated and I will pardon or commute the sentences of people who have been politically persecuted.
-
consider pardoning any past president and members of their families if I find any charges still pending against them next year were politically motivated.
-
forbid the weaponization of the Justice Department, the IRS, or any other government agency to surveil or undermine political opponents or their supporters.
-
give American people a direct voice in guiding legislation and scrutinizing the budget, through direct democracy initiatives.
