This app aims to inform citizens with articles and videos for the independent presidential candidacy of RFK Jr. in the 2024 election. Emulating the legacy of his father and uncle, RFK Jr. aims to challenge the prevailing government corruption, which he believes is contributing to the ongoing inflation, housing, and health crisis. Bobby has spent nearly 40 years fighting corrupt corporations and government agencies. During his tenure at RiverKeeper, he successfully sued dozens of municipalities to force compliance with the Clean Water Act. He won cases against corporate giants too, including a suit against General Electric for toxic runoff from its corporate jet hangar and a court order against ExxonMobil mandating they clean up tens of millions of gallons of spilled oil in Brooklyn, NY. Bobby Kennedy was involved in other issues during his career as an attorney. He was an early and vocal critic of President Bush's decision to invade Iraq and the US enhanced interrogation program at Guantanamo Bay and around the world. He has also been a devoted supporter of union rights, going on hunger strike with United Farm Workers and serving as a pall-bearer during the funeral of Cesar Chavez. Bobby has consistently argued that those who work hard in the United States should be able to afford a good life. Bobby’s activism around toxic pollution led him to lobby successfully for the removal of mercury from most childhood vaccinations in the United States. He went on to advocate for the restoration of standard product liability and placebo testing requirements for vaccine manufacturers. The pharmaceutical megacorporations are by far the most heavily fined and criminally prosecuted companies in America, yet also some of the most powerful. His nonprofit, Children’s Health Defense, has long been a key crusader against the corruption of this industry and its influence in government. Bobby is an avid outdoorsman, master falconer and white water kayaker. He has authored a dozen books on subjects ranging from environmental protection to American history and public life, including children's books on the lives of St Francis of Asisi and Robert Smalls. In October 2011, Bobby founded EcoWatch, a leading environmental news site, and was an editor of Indian Country Today, North America's largest Indigenous newspaper. In a thriving democracy, the engagement and participation of every citizen are paramount. This app, focusing on RFK Jr.'s independent presidential campaign, underscores this principle.

Democracy thrives on diverse perspectives and informed decision-making. Platforms like this contribute to a healthier democratic process by encouraging voters to be well-informed about their choices. They serve as tools to bridge the gap between political figures and the public, facilitating a more interactive and responsive democratic system.
