You can read the script, but you would be missing the great passion in Robert Kennedy, Jr.'s voice. . (It's too bad that the background is so noisy.) it's only a few minutes and I strongly urge you to listen to this. And it would be great if we could get this up on YouTube. I would love for this to have a wide audience.

I can't help but think that many of my conservative friends would hear this speech and think - a little bit - anyway, at the goodwill and reputation our country has thrown away.

ETA - It's only a few minutes, if you're wondering how much time you need to listen to it. Maybe ten?

Please recommend, so others can see this and hear Robert Keennedy, Jr. speak.

1. I remember that. It was really powerful. I just love RFK Jr.
It breaks my heart how far off the track we've gotten. And he gets it, just like his father.

2. Yeah, I just teared up listening to it.
My husband has been thinking I'm a nut for being so passionate about this race. Oh, he'll vote for Obama, but he's just not a political animal.

However, I had him listen to this interview this morning, and he was silent when the interview was finished. I asked, "Now, do you understand why I'm so passionate about this?"

And his answer was a very solemn "Yes, I understand." He's just not a very emotional person "or" political person, but I think the interview really shook him up.

EVERYONE needs to hear this.

Does anyone know how to get this on YouTube? I'm embarrassed to say I don't know how!
