I found RFK bumper stickers and campaign literature at a garage sale
so I bought two bumper stickers and these nice glossy campaign fliers...
It was quite a find! I am sure there a ton out there but I bought em from a guy who worked in the '68 campaign...

5. You should have seen me... I was all teary eyed when I saw them
and I wasn't even born until '69... but my family worshipped JFK and RFK...so it was quite a find for me! (All the old people in the family had pictures of the pope and JFK in their living rooms)

2. If dead people can run for senate... why can't a dead person run for prez?
JFK-RFK 2004!

Seriously, how much for a bumper sticker?

4. This guy was selling them for $2 a piece
So I bought both of his bumper stickers and I bought two of the campaign lits... so for a total of $8 I got a bit of history!

9 volumes of the Nuremberg reports at a garage sale. Paid a whopping 2.25 for it all.

Good find, bleedingheart.

9. great find bleedingheart
I would cherish them. Bobby Kennedy was a hero to millions and still is. He's certainly one of my heros.

"The problem of power is how to achieve its responsible use rather than its irresponsible and indulgent use -- of how to get men of power to live for the public rather than off the public."
--Robert F. Kennedy

"Some people see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not?"
-- Robert F. Kennedy

11. lucky you Bobby is one of my heroes
Ripple of hope everytime I hear that I think of people like us fighting the evil that is the Bush adminstration. Sigh if he hadnt got gunned down Bobby that is. I was writing a little fantasy or would you call it sci fi story called 1968 it tells what would have happened if Bobby and MLK hadnt been killed and not just political stories but how Bobby became a proud father yet again that winter. Rorry is who I am talking about she never knew her father but I see resemblance physically and in her heart.

16. There was a show on tv
Called "What If." It was like a newscast where they were reporting on things like certain thing had happened or had never happened.

Like what if aliens landed on earth, or nuclear war between US and USSR. Or if Martin Luther King Jr. had not been assassinated.

MLK became president.

I wish I could remember what channel that was on. It was a thought-provoking show.
