Adam Kokesh Calls For “New American Revolution”
Imprisoned activist demands march on governors of 50 states

Imprisoned activist and former Marine Adam Kokesh – arrested last Saturday for exercising his First Amendment right at a protest – has called for a “new American revolution” to begin on July 4 with a march on all 50 state capitols.
Adam Kokesh
Kokesh remains in a federal prison in Philadelphia on what many of his supporters claim are trumped up charges of assaulting a police officer and has been denied bail.
The former Iraq war veteran was already planning to lead a controversial armed march on Washington DC on Independence Day, but has rapidly expanded the scope of his plans, calling on an, “American Revolutionary Army (that) will march on each state capital to demand that the governors of these 50 states immediately initiate the process of an orderly dissolution of the federal government through secession and reclamation of federally held property.”
DC police responded to Kokesh’s plan for an armed march by vowing to arrest Kokesh and any other armed demonstrators who take part.
Kokesh and fellow activist N.A. Poe were arrested as they spoke at a permitted marijuana legalization rally at Independence Mall National Historic Park in Philadelphia last Saturday. Neither of the two were smoking or carrying drugs at the time.
Video of the incident shows Kokesh holding his hands up as he is dragged away by police. At no point does Kokesh appear to be resisting arrest (for which he is also charged) and he certainly does not assault any law enforcement officer.
The United States district court filing (PDF) claims that Kokesh “physically blocked and obstructed the Ranger” and also “grabbed the Ranger by the arm to hold him back.” The video does not appear to show any of this.
Kokesh says the 50 state march is “necessary to secure liberty and ensure peace,” and that, “Should one whole year from this July 4th pass while the crimes of this government are allowed to continue, we may have passed the point at which non-violent revolution becomes impossible.”
While Kokesh has attracted numerous supporters, others fear his plan for an armed march on D.C. and his aggressive rhetoric could grease the skids for gun owners to be demonized as violent extremists, in addition to increasing the chances of provocateurs being used to stage an incident during the march.
Read Kokesh’s full statement below.
“When a government has repeatedly and deliberately failed to follow its own laws, violated the fundamental human rights of its citizens, threatened the sanctity of a free press, created institutions intended to eliminate privacy of communication, waged war at the behest of special interest that threatens the public safety, killed hundreds of children with drone strikes, imprisoned and destroyed the lives of countless individuals for victimless crimes, stifled economic opportunity to maintain the dominance of the financial elite, stolen from the people through an absurd system of taxation and inflation, sold future generations into debt slavery, and abused its power to suppress political opposition, it is unfit to exist and it becomes the duty of the people to alter or abolish that government by whatever means necessary to secure liberty and ensure peace.
“A new American revolution is long overdue. This revolution has been brewing in the hearts and minds of the people for many years, but this Independence Day, it shall take a new form as the American Revolutionary Army will march on each state capital to demand that the governors of these 50 states immediately initiate the process of an orderly dissolution of the federal government through secession and reclamation of federally held property. Should one whole year from this July 4th pass while the crimes of this government are allowed to continue, we may have passed the point at which non-violent revolution becomes impossible.
“The time to sit idly by has passed. To remain neutral is to be complicit, just doing your job is not an excuse, and the line in the sand has been drawn between the people, and the criminals in Washington, D.C. While some timid souls will say that it is too early, that we can solve this problem through democratic means provided by government, that current levels of taxation are reasonable for the services provided, and that the crimes of this government are merely a tolerable nuisance, it may already be too late.
“While there is risk in drastic action, the greater danger lies in allowing this government to continue unchallenged. So if you are content with the status quo, stay home, get fat, watch the fireworks from a safe distance, and allow this Independence Day to pass like any other. But if you see as we see, and feel as we feel, we will see you on the front lines of freedom on July 4th, 2013 for this, The Final American Revolution.”
Signed, Adam Kokesh, May 23, 2013 from a cage in the Philadelphia federal prison.

IMHO, this is a very bad idea and no good will come of it. There are much better ways to get our point across. YMMV

My state, and probably other states as well, allow open carry.
There are exceptions, for instance: to the terror of the public.
In other words, if the intent is to terrorize or intimidate, then an otherwise liberal-rule state like Virginia may shut down a flamboyant march before it even gets across the river.
Notice that the interpretation of "to the terror of the public" is subjective.

And punctuation is only overrated by those who don't know how to do it. When one is functionally illiterate, one denigrates those who are not. Here's a little exercise. Punctuate:
That that is is that that is not is not is that it it is
That that is is that that is not is not is that it it is

Ok, I'll take a crack at it:
That that is, is. That that is not, is not. Is that it? It is.
You saw the movie....

Actually, no. I just had great teachers in the 50s and 60s before education went to hell.
Btw, what movie?
Btw, what movie?
Charlie. Based on the book Flowers for Algernon.

Clif Robertson, 1968. A very moving story.
In the same vein as Robin Williams in Awakenings. Both extraordinary films.
Haven't seen this posted yet so here it is with apologies if it is posted here somewhere I couldnt find it : ) Kokesh does not deserve any lionizing. He is a fraud and has been proven one several times over. Now it looks like he is working directly for an Obama organization and is setting up 2nd amendment/conservatives with his BS.
The Smoking Gun: Adam Kokesh Works for Obama
A ten minute video can be found at the link detailing Adam Kokesh’s relationship with the organization "Obama For Action" where Kokesh has been working since March of 2011.
http://www.lady-patriots.com/the-smoking-gun-adam-kokesh-works-for-obama/
Bottom Line : "Adam Kokesh is a fraud who is working against the American people. He is on the Obama for America payroll and he proudly calls himself a Revolution Czar. Is this a “real” job title? Probably not. Although, it would be just the kind of title someone like Adam Kokesh would give himself. Is the job description “Fomenting unrest” real? Possibly. That IS the purpose of the Obama for America. Whether it is a real title or a real job description or not, he takes considerable pride in it. Adam Kokesh hates America and everything it represents. This is just his way of getting even for some real or imagined offense of which he cannot let go.
I was hesitant to say it so plainly before, but now there is no doubt. This picture is real. It is a legitimate copy of a facebook page that would be very difficult for the average person to fake. Yes, Obama for America is behind the Open Carry March of Washington DC, and smart Americans will stay home on July 4th and watch the fireworks."
