WMUR 9 ABC News reports: One hundred thousand fortune cookies have made their way into Chinese restaurants across New Hampshire, all with a message, not of good luck, or advice, but with advertisements for the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 2024 campaign for president. The cookies began popping up earlier the month, Granite State restaurants confirmed, in a targeted campaign to New Hampshire. Kennedy's campaign confirmed they were behind the cookies, looking to reach voters through a non-conventional medium, just as his father had during his presidential campaign in 1968. “Robert F. Kennedy Sr. pioneered the innovative use of fortune cookie advertising during his presidential campaign. Following his legacy, RFK Jr.’s campaign has embraced this unconventional approach to connect with voters nationwide, leveraging the universal appeal of fortune cookies,” the Kennedy campaign wrote. Dominick Prive said that he was surprised to open the fortune several weeks ago, and found that the advertisement, made him look into Kennedy, in a way that he may not have before. "When I posted to Facebook that I had that in the fortune cookie, I had family members come out of the woodwork who told me that they were interested in RFK, and then I felt like I had to look him up just to have a conversation with them about it," Prive said. "So it did. It worked. I think tactically, it was successful." Watch the full video here:

The Taos News reports: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is running for president as an Independent. Listen to what Kennedy says, rather than what is said about him, and you would believe that our nation and our planet have a chance. He is committed to doing right, telling the truth, resurrecting the middle class and improving the lives of all, not just the rich. Kennedy would like to cure our country’s addiction to war. Now is the time to embrace third parties, our two-party system has not worked for a long time. Like other third-party candidates, Kennedy is met with character assassination, viewed as a threat by Republicans and Democrats alike. Kennedy is pulling more votes from the Republican candidate, causing the former president to call Kennedy before the Republican convention to ask him to join his campaign. Kennedy declined. Kennedy is up against powerful interests. As an environmental attorney and activist, he has defeated such corporate behemoths at Monsanto, General Electric and countless other large-scale polluters. For most of his career, Kennedy was the media’s hero, championed for his many environmental and human rights successes. Now, Kennedy is portrayed by the press as being a crazy anti-vaxxer. Not true. He fought to get mercury, which everyone knows is poison, out of vaccines. You cannot rationally argue with him about Big Pharma. He speaks the truth and knows the facts. Drug companies are not held liable, even though pharmaceuticals kill hundreds of thousands of people every year. Death by prescription drugs is the third largest cause of death in the U.S., after heart disease and cancer. Kennedy will do something about it. Read the full article here.

Newsweek reports: Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been granted Secret Service protection by President Joe Biden days after former President Donald Trump was shot on stage at a campaign rally in Bulter, Pennsylvania. "In light of this weekend's events, the president has directed me to work with the Secret Service to provide protection to Robert Kennedy Jr.," Alejandro Mayorkas, the secretary of Homeland Security, announced during Monday's White House press briefing. The announcement comes amid growing calls for the Secret Service to extend protection to Kennedy as well. Two days after being grazed by a bullet, Trump agreed that it was "imperative" for Kennedy to also get Secret Service detail, saying, "Given the history of the Kennedy Family, this is obviously the right thing to do!" Previously, Kennedy had repeatedly been denied Secret Service protection. Last week, Newsweek reviewed portions from a nearly 800-page Freedom of Information Act document that detailed 34 instances of threats and bizarre rants directed toward Kennedy.
