Adam Kokesh is a controversial figure - probably because he isn't a sheep, bleeting and following along behind those who would try to make him fit into a role that does not fit.
He challenges authority and reveals the reality of a government based not on protecting the
freedoms of the American people. He believes his experience as a former Republican Congressional candidate and member of the USMC qualifies him to encourage everyone to live as free, dignified humans and he urges everyone to live as if government does not exist. He is Adam of Adam VS the Man.
Adam versus the Man is more than a cable or Internet show, it's his way of life. His Facebook page states:
Who is “the man?” The man is anyone who
thinks they can tell you how to live your life and impose their will on
others by force of government. But maybe the man behind the curtain is
the would-be man in all of us. Because really, the message of freedom
that this show is based on, is about conquering that desire to rule over
others and that willingness to accept rule by force. They are
temptations all are subject too, but in order to establish true liberty
for humanity, we must condemn all forms of freedom-violating initiation
of force against others and embrace the love and respect for our shared
humanity of which we are all capable.

1,000 Veterans to March on the White House for Ron Paul, Organizers Overwhelmed
Thousands expected to turn their backs on Obama for "RON PAUL IS THE CHOICE OF THE TROOPS"
It's only been up for a couple weeks, but according to the Facebook
event page, which just passed 1,250 "going" this past Friday, Veterans
for Ron Paul 2012 are going to be an undeniable presence in Washington,
DC on President's Day. The organizers have been overwhelmed by the
positive response, much of which is from veterans and active duty troops
who are hearing Ron Paul's message for the first time because of this
event. Many passionate veterans are even coming from as far away as the
west coast, and almost every other post on the wall for the event page
is a request or offer for long-distance transportation. Emails to
organizers have also indicated that there will be a large contingent of
active duty troops in the formation who have declined to RSVP publicly
on Facebook. However, organizers are realistic about the numbers, as
former US Marine and Fallujah combat veteran Adam Kokesh said, "We know
1,250 on Facebook includes some supporters who won't be there, but we
think it's a reasonable goal now to have 1,000 veterans in the
formation."
On President's Day, February 20th, 2012,
the founders of Veterans for Ron Paul 2012, Nathan Cox and Adam Kokesh,
will lead a formation of veterans and active duty troops who support Ron
Paul's candidacy for President of the United States from the Washington
Monument to the White House. Upon arrival at the White House, they will
do an about face and render a hand salute to a folded American flag.
They will hold the salute for as many seconds as troops have died under
the Presidency of Barrack Obama, including suicides.
The purpose of this event is to make it clear to the American people
that Ron Paul is the choice of the troops and the candidate who will
have the greatest support from those he would lead as
commander-in-chief. This is already evidence(d) by the fact that Ron Paul
has received more campaign contributions from active duty service
members than all other presidential candidates combined, INCLUDING
Barrack Obama. The troops want a President who is going to be decisive,
put America's security first, and only send them into harm's way with a
clear moral imperative. Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who even comes
close to meeting those criteria.
Any active duty
service members who join will be invited to march at the front of the
formation. Proof of service will be required to march in the formation
for all current or former military personnel. Family members are invite(d)
to march behind the formation and supporters are encouraged to line the
route of the march and be present for the ceremony at the White House.

I don't typically involve myself in politics because I believe our system if flawed and based on an antiquated electoral college. There comes a time, however, when everyone must ask the question:" if not me, then who; if not now, then when?"
I have to do my part or my freedoms mean nothing.
