ABOUT ADAM KOKESH
Early Years
Adam Kokesh was born on February 1, 1982 in California. Growing up he played sports every season and read numerous books at the encouragement of his parents. His interest in science and technology led him to many science fair victories and NASA's Space Camp. After middle school, where he played trumpet in the band and basketball, at the encouragement of a friend of a parent who was a former Marine, he went to "Devil Pups," a junior boot camp-style citizenship and fitness program hosted by the Marines at Camp Pendleton. In high school he participated in Model UN, taught silversmithing classes, and founded a campus radio station. During the summers he worked at a print shop and with horses. He is the only non-native to graduate from the Native American Preparatory School formerly of San Miguel County, New Mexico. He received his bachelor's degree in Psychology from Claremont McKenna College where he played rugby, sang in the choir, and competed with the ballroom dance team.
Military Background
Adam's grandfather, Charles Henry Kokesh, was a pilot in World War II as one of the "Flying Sergeants," was awarded a Silver Star, and was nominated for the Congressional Medal of Honor. Inspired by this and and the Marines he met in Devil Pups, Adam enlisted in the Marines while still in high school at the age of 17. He completed boot camp and Marine Combat Training in San Diego, Field Artillery School at Fort Sill in Oklahoma, and NBC Training (Nuclear, Biological and Chemical) in Texas. He was awarded a Navy Achievement Medal for his work as a Recruiter's Assistant and played for the All-Marine Rugby Team. He volunteered to go to Fallujah in 2004 with a Marine Corps Civil Affairs team where he was meritoriously promoted to Sergeant. For his tour he received a Navy Commendation Medal and Combat Action Ribbon.
Political Activism
In 2007, Kokesh joined Iraq Veterans Against the War and helped bring the organization to national prominence as its most visible leader. He first came to national attention for holding up a score card during Alberto Gonzales' testimony to Congress regarding the dismissal of U.S. Attorneys keeping track of how many times he said, "I don't recall." His photograph appeared in many national newspapers and resulted in dozens of TV interviews. He was later to become the story himself when prosecuted unlawfully by the Marine Corps (while he was in the inactive reserves) for staging a street theater protest that included a mock combat patrol, "to bring a small piece of the reality of war home to Washington, DC."
Adam was an active supporter of Ron Paul and would eventually come to found and lead Veterans for Ron Paul, organizing a stunning march on the White House for vets to turn their back on Obama and raise awareness about military suicide. He was invited to speak at the 2008 Revolution March in DC organized by grassroots Ron Paul supporters and his speech that day is what put him on the map as a promising representative of the freedom movement.
After the debate on Iraq was won, Adam turned his attention to other freedom causes and continued his effective advocacy, organizing, and civil disobedience. He has been arrested over three dozen times for protesting, smoking cannabis, not smoking cannabis, cursing, filming on the sidewalk, and even dancing.
From "Mainstream" to Independent and Back
Adam first began his career in media with the birth of ADAM VS THE MAN as a radio show in Albuquerque on KIVA in 2010. After six months it was picked up as a TV show for RT America. After four months on the air, he was fired for criticizing Putin and went independent online to focus on podcasting and YouTube, where he has over 60 million views. He is well known for using Nonviolent Communication and Socratic Dialogue techniques in his "man on the street" videos. Recently he has shifted focus to blockchain-based social media and is very active as a promoter of Steemit where he releases exclusive content.
While in jail in Washington, DC in 2013, he began writing FREEDOM!, now considered a "bible for voluntaryism." The book is in its fourth printing and has been downloaded over 2 million times. With the platform he has built for himself, he was able to successfully self-publish and make it available for free in every digital format possible including audiobook. In a jailhouse interview with Fox 5 DC during that time, Kokesh announced his plans to run for President of the United States in 2020 on a platform of an orderly, peaceful, and responsible dissolution of the U.S. Federal Government. He is currently working on his second book, a war memoir titled, "Hot, Dirty, & Dangerous - How seven months in Fallujah challenged my patriotism." His third book, "American Freedom!" will detail the platform of dissolving the federal government and is schedule for release on July 4, 2019 to kick off the "American Freedom Tour." One of the reasons for his success is his commitment to doing a national tour hitting 100+ cities every year. FREEDOM! was officially endorsed by the US Department of Justice when they banned it from federal prison facilities, declaring "the entire publication" to be, "a threat to the good order and discipline of the institution."
Famous Kokesh Quotes:
"We don't have to be forced under a single government to be united in American values."
"Government is fundamentally immoral because it is based on violating the rights of individuals."
"None of the propaganda around war can disguise its true nature. It is massive organized violence for the purpose of expanding government power. It is the height of statism and it is the greatest affront to freedom."
"Taxation is an inescapable part of the government racket. If governments never stole they would cease to be governments. If we could withdraw our financial support from them at any time, they would be voluntary cooperatives, or service providers. Because taxation is backed up with the threat of force, it is theft, plain and simple."
"The way that we move forward is by localizing government down to the community level. This way, everyone gets what they want. So I call it, 'The everyone gets what they want strategy.' Sounds to me like something everyone can get on board with!"

-Declare the federal government of no authority
-Dissolve or privatize every agency transitioning some functions to the states
-Liquidate all remaining assets to fund social programs as private charities,
-Resign the Presidency to become "Custodian of the Federal Government,"
-and do it all with a single executive order on the very first day in office.
STAY CONNECTED!

ABOUT MARCH OF THE DEAD VETERANS...
Howdy FreedomsPhoenix --
20 United States Veterans commit suicide every day (according to a 2016 VA report.) That's over 10,000 Veterans just in the time since Trump has taken office. And nobody seems to be talking about it. So, at the Libertarian Party National Convention this year, let's change that in the boldest way possible. We are proud to announce the March of the Dead Veterans. Whether you are a Veteran, a family member of a Veteran, or just a person who'd like to take part, join us.
We have purchased 200 skull masks which will be available to each marching veteran. (If you can help with some of the cost, each mask is $5.00 and you are welcome to keep yours as a keepsake. Donations will be accepted on site or at www.thefreedomline.com/vets)
A casket with the names of every known Veteran suicide victim inside will be carried by six pall-bearers and a brass band will play Taps as we march through the streets of New Orleans.
Civilians (non-veterans) will also be needed to carry water. We will provide orange traffic vests for civilians.
At the end of the march we will conduct a flag-folding ceremony then walk into the business meeting of the convention and hand the flag to the Libertarian Party National Chair in recognition of the work the Libertarian Party is doing to end this horrific epidemic.
Our brothers and sisters can no longer speak, but we will make sure their voices are heard.

Hour 2
Twila Brase, R.N.
Twila Brase, R.N., is president and co-founder of the Citizens' Council for Health Freedom and is a certified public health nurse. She provides commentary for the one-of-a-kind Health Freedom Minute, provides testimony at the state legislature, meets with members of Congress, and speaks around the country. She has been interviewed on CNN, Fox News, NBC Today Show, among others, and her quotes appear in publications of the Associated Press, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and others.
CCHF Overview
Perhaps no topic in America has stirred as much national attention as healthcare. One public health nurse from Minnesota has a fresh take on the subject, and her organization, Citizens' Council for Health Freedom, exists to protect health care choices and patient privacy.?
Twila Brase's daily 60-second radio feature, Health Freedom Minute, takes daily health care issues and brings them to light for the American public. There is not another health feature like this one to inform Americans of critical healthcare information, in the U.S.
Americans deserve to know the agenda behind their health care and what they can do to protect their health care choices, rights and privacy. Twila Brase, a public health nurse and health care freedom advocate, informs listeners of crucial health issues, such as the intrusive wellness and prevention initiatives in Obamacare, patient privacy and the need for consent, the dangers of "evidence-based medicine" and health care reform.
CCHF's Goals
Individual patient and practitioner freedom in health care decision-making
Protection of patient autonomy and dignity through medical record privacy and strong patient consent provisions
Reduced dependency on government health care programs
Free and open health care market, including Medical Savings Accounts, and non-managed care health insurance options.
Market competition at the patient and consumer level.
Equal tax treatment for purchase of health care insurance
Privately-owned insurance independent from employment
A charitable safety net strengthened through tax incentives
Elimination of taxes on health care services.

For Two Years, The Wedge of Health Freedom
Has Helped Patients Find Affordable Doctors
Citizens' Council for Health Freedom's 'The Wedge' Brings Patients and Doctors Together in a Third-Party-Free, Patient-Centered Network That Restores Simplicity, Affordability and Confidentiality
ST. PAUL, Minn.—Two years ago this week, Citizens' Council for Health Freedom (CCHF, www.cchfreedom.org) made a major step forward in the ongoing transformation of America's health care system.
As part of its mission to defend patient and doctor freedom, CCHF unveiled an exciting new health freedom initiative on June 28, 2016.
Today, more than 260 practitioners in 165 clinics across 44 states have joined The Wedge of Health Freedom (www.JointheWedge.com), which is using third-party-free direct payment to transform the entire health care system back to freedom and restore simplicity, affordability and confidentiality.
The Wedge was launched to address America's troubled health care system—where high prices and bureaucratic government reporting requirements are the norm; where one-size-fits-all treatments and narrow networks limit patient choices and tie doctors' hands; where intrusive questionnaires and data-sharing without consent put patients' privacy at risk; and where impersonal bureaucratic processes and managed care controls inhibit a true doctor-patient relationship.
"Two years after its inception, The Wedge of Health Freedom remains a free-trade zone for health care," said CCHF president and co-founder Twila Brase. "Wedge practices were already operating nationwide, but patients had no way of finding them, so the goal of The Wedge is to draw the public's attention to this patient-centered, freedom-embracing slice of American health care. The Wedge now helps make this invisible zone visible and brings patients and doctors back together again for patient-friendly, price-friendly and privacy-friendly care. This is the ethical way medical care once was and what it must become again."
The Wedge is a nationwide movement to build public awareness, to make this attractive free-trade zone for health care visible, to legislatively defend it and to build it so large that it can never be taken away. The online center for The Wedge—www.JointheWedge.com—allows doctors to learn how they can operate a Wedge practice, as well as provides patients with a map of Wedge practices so they can find doctors who incorporate the eight Wedge principles:
Transparent and affordable pricing
Freedom of choice
True patient privacy
No government reporting
No outside interference
Cash-based pricing
A protected patient-doctor relationship
All patients welcome
Wedge doctor Kim Corba appreciates the ability to offer her Allentown, Pennsylvania, patients the health freedom that Wedge principles encourage.
"I love practicing without the intrusion of the insurance companies," Korba told CCHF. "Having that time to spend with the patient and establish that very special relationship with them, without having to worry about requirements of the insurance companies or the government, is extremely liberating—to feel that way and to be practicing the way it used to be 20 or 30 years ago."
CCHF also asked other Wedge doctors about their greatest joy in being third-party-free. Some of their responses were:
"More time to spend with each patient" and "personal relationship with patients"
"Freedom to work only for the patient" and "privacy for patients"
"Avoiding the headaches that come with the current insurance system"
"Not wasting time on bureaucratic and expensive nonsense"
"Ability to put patient-physician relationship front and center"
"Being able to give patients the time that truly makes a difference. Seeing the appreciation from patients and family members. Getting mittens made by patients, baked cookies, thank you cards..."
"I get to focus on my patients, not billing, coding and third-party payer requirements. I get extra time and flexibility to care for my patients how I see fit."
"Got my life back"
The Wedge is positively impacting patients, too. One woman wrote to CCHF stating that she is uninsured but makes too much money to be eligible for Medicaid. Now that she is pregnant, she has had a hard time finding an obstetrician who will even see her because of her uninsured status. "So happy I found your site," she shared. "It's given me the hope I need."
"Like this woman experienced, today's health care system is filled with third-party payer dependency and costly billing routines. Many find it hard to remember what it was like to take cash for payment." Brase said. "These third-party payment arrangements have inserted boatloads of time-consuming bureaucracy and costly requirements. In short, the mission of medicine—taking care of patients—is being lost to the business of health care. The Wedge connects patients and doctors in a trusted, ethical, caring relationship that's free of burdensome third-party costs and controls."
CCHF will soon release a groundbreaking book by Brase exposing how the government-imposed certified EHR has negatively affected both doctors and patients. Available this summer and published by Beaver's Pond Press, "Big Brother in the Exam Room: The Dangerous Truth About Electronic Health Records" will show how Congress forced doctors to install a data-collecting surveillance system in the exam room. It includes comments from doctors and hard facts from over 125 studies and reports about the impact of EHRs on privacy, patient care, costs and patient safety.

Additionally, "Big Brother in the Exam Room" discusses how doctors and patients inside The Wedge are free from EHRs because Wedge doctors are not mandated to use government-certified systems. Brase's extensively researched work also exposes how patient treatment decisions are controlled and tracked by the government-mandated EHR; shares specific steps back to freedom, privacy and patient safety; and communicates why Americans must act now.
