[The
following is a video recording of an interview of Donnie Kennedy by
Ray McBerry of Georgia First concerning the issue of State's Rights.
Ray McBerry's comments are italicized.]
Ray: Welcome to another presentation
brought to you by the Exploratory Committee to elect Donnie Kennedy
to the G.O.P. Presidential nomination in 2008. I am joined here by
Donnie Kennedy. Donnie is of course the best selling author of The
South Was Right, published by Pelican Publishing, and also the
author of Myths of American Slavery and a number of other books.
Donnie - thank you for being with us.
Donnie: Thank you Ray, for inviting me.
Ray: Donnie, why an exploratory
committee?
Donnie: Simply an
exploratory committee is we are delving into the possibility of
running a real campaign in the Southern primaries for the
Presidential nomination for the Republican Party. As I travel across
this country, especially through the South, I have people come up to
me time and time after I speak and say “Why don’t we get involved.
Why don’t we do some thing? Lets take this message into the
political arena and lets let everybody, not just the few people here
in this room, but everybody hear what you are saying now. We need to
return this government back to “We the People …” We need to
reestablish Real State’s Rights. We need to limit the federal
government, and force the federal government to abide by the
Constitution. Let’s get into the political area.”
And I have heard
that for years now. When this campaign came
along I decided lets talk about it. I talked to some friends across
the South. We got a little committee together and we decided we just
see if this balloon will float. Let’s see if there is interest out
there about getting this into a real campaign. Let’s take our
message into the Republican Party. Let’s shake the Republican up.
This is a party that claims to be the party of conservatism, Ray.
But for the last 75 years we have had nothing but one conservative
failure after another.
How much more can
we take? We have got to do something different!
If every time I
walk into your house I bump my head, you would think that sooner or
later I would realize I gotta do something different when I walk
into your house.
Every four years
we the people here in the South have been walking into the
Republican house and we have been getting our head bumped. And then
guess what happens? Some where in mid term we have people like the
Republican chairman start kissing the toes of the NAACP and
apologizing for his Southern strategy. Do you remember that a few
years ago.
Ray: That’s right.
Donnie: I mean we are the people who made them a majority
party. Now they are going to run to our arch enemy, the people who
are most involved in increasing the size and scope of government,
and they are going to apologize to them, and in the process slap us
in the face. So we get bumped on the head, slapped in the face,
kicked in the tail by the Republican Party. It is time for
Southerners to take control of the Republican Party here in the
South and force a change in the Republican Party and change America
back to what Our Founding Fathers, North and South, originally
intended for us to be.
Ray: Donnie there certainly
are a lot of Southerners who would be glad to see that happen. What
can people begin to do now, even with the exploratory committee to
get involved in the process?
Donnie: Well we said in our exploratory committee, we have
been up front we can’t do this by our self. I can’t do it by myself.
The committee that I am working with - we can’t do by our self. We
need more people, we need help. We need a lot of help. Of course
part of that obviously is finances. You can not run a credible
campaign without a certain of revenue flowing in.
The first I want people who are serious
about this to do is go to our website –
www.ElectWDKennedy.com. Look at my platform, look at the
articles I have written, look at who I am and what I stand for. See
if you agree with this guy? Do you see what he sees? Are you
catching a vision of Liberty and land of Liberty that this guy got?
If you have then I need you to signup – become a volunteer. Become a
worker in this movement. Above all – sign on the dotted line. Get
that check book out. I need money. If we can get enough Southerners
to give us some seed money to get this campaign going. We will
indeed change from an exploratory committee into a full blown
campaign.
I need money. It is not for Donnie Kennedy –
it is for the Cause of Liberty. We have got to shakeup the
Republican Party. We have got to change this country or else we will
forever be subject to federal tyranny.
Ray:
Ladies and gentlemen we invite you to go to the campaign website and
take a look for yourself and see exactly what Donnie’s platform is
and those things for which he does stand. You can even make
contribution online there at the website. That website again is
www.ElectWDKennedy.com It is worth taking the time to look at.
We hope you will do that today. www.ElectWDKennedy.com.
