Defend Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from Unfair Treatment in Congress!

🖨️ Print post

During a Senate hearing last week, which followed the recent firing of the CDC Director, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was subjected to sharp and dismissive attacks instead of being given a fair opportunity to present his views. This kind of conduct undermines civil discourse and disrespects not only Mr. Kennedy but also the millions of Americans who support his work.

We cannot allow unfair treatment of Kennedy—or any public figure who speaks on behalf of important issues—to go unanswered. Members of Congress need to hear that their constituents value respectful dialogue and expect fairness.

TAKE ACTION:

Contact the White House and your U.S. Representative and Senators TODAY to express your support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and to voice your concern about the way he was treated.

SAMPLE SCRIPT:

“Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I am a constituent from [Your City].

I’m calling to express my support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and my concern about the unfair treatment he received during last week’s Senate hearing.

I believe all witnesses—regardless of their views—deserve to be treated with respect. I expect my elected officials to uphold standards of civility and fairness.

(If your senator spoke against Bobby, let their staff know you’re disappointed and expect higher standards. If your senator stood by him, express your appreciation for their support.)

Supporting Kennedy and the issues he raises is very important to me, and this will influence how I vote.

Thank you.”

Talking Points (choose 1–2 to include in your message):

1. Kennedy is addressing critical issues that deserve open, respectful dialogue in Congress.

• Personal attacks on witnesses undermine public trust in our institutions.

• Constituents expect their representatives to engage in fair and civil debate, even when there are disagreements.

• Kennedy highlighted that nearly 1 in 12.5 is now on the autism spectrum. This staggering rate signals a significant public health crisis that cannot be brushed aside. Blaming it only on “better diagnosis” ignores the urgent need to investigate environmental factors.

• Kennedy emphasized that environmental exposures are fueling the rise in autism and other chronic conditions. What harm could come from exploring these exposures?

• Kennedy called for faster and broader research into the causes of autism, noting that federal agencies must take responsibility and prioritize this issue instead of minimizing it.

• Kennedy reminded the Senate that government health agencies must be accountable to the people. Mismanagement, denial, and dismissive treatment of serious health concerns erode trust and demand reform.

• Kennedy made clear that every American deserves transparency and choice when it comes to health decisions. Efforts to silence or attack those raising uncomfortable questions only deepen public skepticism.
