In the spirit of fairness and historical accountability, we, the undersigned, call on Congress to reimburse the extraordinary security costs incurred by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during his presidential campaign.

RFK Jr. was denied Secret Service protection, a service that was established following the assassination of his father, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, during his 1968 presidential campaign. This denial created an unjust financial burden on RFK Jr. and his campaign, forcing him to cover the essential cost of personal security to ensure his safety while engaging in the democratic process.

Why This Matters:

Historical Context: The Secret Service protection for candidates was initiated in response to the tragic loss of leaders like Robert F. Kennedy, making its denial to his son particularly poignant and troubling.
Fairness: Every candidate should have equal access to protection, regardless of their political stance or perceived chances of success.
Public Service: RFK Jr.'s campaign elevated critical conversations about health, democracy, and freedom. His ability to participate fully in the democratic process should not be hindered by preventable financial burdens.
We urge Congress to:

Acknowledge the unjust denial of Secret Service protection for RFK Jr.
Reimburse the campaign for the security expenses incurred as a result of this denial.

This reimbursement is not just a matter of fairness but a reaffirmation of our commitment to a transparent, secure, and equitable democratic process for all candidates.

Let us honor the legacy of Senator Robert F. Kennedy by ensuring his son's pursuit of public service is met with the support and protection his family’s history so clearly necessitates.

Sign this petition today to stand for justice, fairness, and the integrity of our democracy.
