Dear Friends and Supporters--

Effective June 18, 2007, I have formally withdrawn my name as a Democratic candidate for President of the United States for 2008. After being denied an opportunity to be in the televised presidential debates (most recently the upcoming PBS Democratic Presidential Forum hosted by Tavis Smiley) because I am an unknown and not a "politician", per se, I made the decision to withdraw. My voice, and the true voice of the American people, are not being heard. (See attached Letter to the Federal Election Commission). 

In my own humble way I wanted to make a difference in this world and be part of a peaceful solution for the problems in America and around the world. There is so much hatred, violence, corruption, oppression and sorrow in the world, and it affects me deeply. It is heartbreaking and unconscionable: mans inhumanity to man.

I want to thank each and every one of you for your kindnesses and support, for your love and prayers, for your protection, for your encouragement and belief in me. I was honored to do my part and assist in some very important issues and successful decisions the last six months. God is good!

Due to this important decision, I will now be able to devote my attention full-time to my environmental "green" project for the children of the world. Whale Magic is a beautiful and enlightening animation and publication project about love, harmony and respect for one other and our environment - especially the worlds oceans, whales and dolphins, and all marine life. I will also continue my public speaking engagements and other entrepreneurial endeavors.

I continue to hold the vision of a beautiful and peaceful world, and ask that you continue to do the same.

Blessings!

John J. Kennedy

Re: Passamore/Lake, Martinez/Knight, Kincaid, Maynard, Job, Brown, et. al.

As with any candidate or high-profile person, one is often subjected to individuals and groups that are unbalanced, have ulterior motives, obsessions, or hidden agendas. Unfortunately, that is to be expected, however, when their actions become personal, abusive, terroristic and criminal they will be held accountable. 

For the past year and half I have been the target of a series of angry, demented and threatening personal attacks. The abuse naturally escalated when I announced my bid in January 2007 for President 2008. 

I had the unfortunate experience of being exposed to the above-named individuals while on a humanitarian public speaking tour in 2005-06. Each and every one of these individuals (mostly “women”) contacted me, or approached me, for a number of sorted reasons.
