This was just posted on Adam's facebook page:
Official press release. Spread it widely.

Adam Kokesh Announces Candidacy for President and is Immediately Arrested.

We did know this would happen. GET ADAM OUT OF JAIL HERE!

Longtime activist and former Marine, Adam Kokesh, made a celebratory announcement today that he has officially filed all paperwork necessary to run as a candidate for the office of United States President in 2020.
That announcement took place around 12:30pm EST. At 12:40pm EST he was pulled over by Texas State Troopers for swerving and having suspicious tags on No Force One, his tour bus. A brief encounter took place before the tour bus’ ownership was established (Adam has a lease-to-own agreement with the bus’ owner) and Adam was allowed to go free.
Approximately 40 minutes later Adam was pulled over once again, this time for driving speeding along the Texas highway. This encounter was far more aggressive. State Troopers continually escalated the situation until bringing in a K-9 unit which “alerted,” near a storage compartment on the RV. Adam’s dog, Baloo, was also inside the RV.
At that point the State Troopers commanded Adam to turn off his camera and they proceeded to search and seize. He was then arrested and is being held with no charges currently.
We have to fight this injustice. Can you contribute now, to keep this fight alive?
Adam just finished a 4-month long tour across the country in November where he was not pulled over once. Are we to believe that this is just coincidence that he is pulled over twice within the hour after announcing his candidacy?
Along that tour we talked many times about how, “It would get ugly.” Well, here it is, folks.

A corrupt government is better than no government at all, or even a weak government. Look at what happened when Saddam Hussein's regime was toppled. Has Iraq improved? No. It is more dangerous than ever. Their economy still hasn't recovered. Persecutions of non-favored religious groups has increased exponentially.

When you remove people from power or institutions of power, there will always be a power-hungry person to fill in the vacuum. And until the void is filled, chaos will reign. Would we rather have freedom to do whatever we want? Well, guess what, so do other people. They want the freedom to steal our things. Who will protect us then?

That is the chief purpose of government: to keep order and punish the people who do wrong. The solution is not boot out the government. The solution is to change society. We have rejected God's principles--the only definitive standard of right and wrong, and replaced them with our own subjective standards. That's why you have corruption. Our politicians are mirrors of ourselves. We get poor choices for candidates because we only care about whether the economy is doing well, not about whether the person in office is a person of moral character that can guide the country with strong leadership and wisdom.

I don't know much about Adam Kokesh. He's probably a nice guy with lofty ideals. But abolishing the government, as great as it sounds in theory, is a bad idea. We need to return to the constitution, and give more power to the states, like we had at our nation's inception.

As it is, we have deviated from it for the last two centuries and that's the problem.

No, anarchy is not the answer. If you get anarchy, you will live to regret it and so will your children! If anything, hamstring the overarching control of the Supreme Court. Don't get rid of it, but the judges do have too much power, when they try to legislate from the bench.

Vote Nobody for president! Preside over your own life and no one else's. Elect Adam to get out of everyone's way. He's the best chance we have to make the next election the last election. Maybe you could let homeless people live in the white house, you already have an RV. You don't need two houses bro. Think of all the people who could live in the halls of congress. Worthwhile ideas might actually get discussed in there for the first time. Or you could even sell that shit to Pepsi Co and give us the money. Idk, its your non-presidency but thank you for standing up for awesomeness.

I admire so much of what you do/have done, but this is not the “revolution I’ve been waiting for.”

You once posted on one of your promotional posts “America doesn’t need a ruler, America needs a leader.”

As an anarchist, I don’t want or need either. How can a system built upon violence bring an end to violence? Change the mafia “from the inside.” It just doesn’t happen.

Anarchism is about individuals, and as such, top-down, centralized mandates on how land will be divided via “land lotteries” and other such issues can never work and still respect the rights of individuals. The property owners in communities need to decide that stuff. If they can do that on their own, why does anyone need a president to mandate it? If they can’t do that, then that’s basically an admission that a force-based nation state is necessary.

I hope something good comes of your run, but I am pretty sure I can speak for all the Voluntaryists here when I say we don’t need a leader.

I love your dream. I would like to see it happen and work. I hope it does happen, and I hope it does work.
I'll need to read your book to understand more, but I see the government as nothing more than a big company with a practically unlimited budget with a very particular job. A job that works for other big companies, that are all about profit for the company above all else.
Even if it is possible to dissolve the government, what will keep the big companies from forming monopolies? (yes, it is happening anyway). What will stop them from stifling competition? (yes, it is happening anyway). How will we create a true free market, when the big companies have unlimited budgets to secure their foothold to give people no other option.
I have too many questions. But I will read your book. Maybe I'll see things differently afterwards, and have answers to some of my questions.

In all due respect, seems like another Candidate wasting his time for something that is not even a remote possibility of happening. As far as Taxes and a welfare state ?? We will always have it. The fact is we have human beings in our Country just trying to keep a roof over their heads and barely can keep their children fed. Do you seriously think these desperate people have even time to think about issues that you are so passionate about ?? Of course not, they are just trying to survive day to day. You live in a delusional bubble. Fact is, there will always be a Gov't to pander to these folks.

And there NEEDS to be !!

Taxation is theft, the biggest theft ever because the thief doesn’t go to jail. Government as a thief has immunity given by people who elected them. But the people of a free market wants small government and less control. small government requires less money to operate and therefore should lower taxation, but you will find hat is not the case because government often lies. Like the democrats in the USA they want bigger government and higher taxes. Like Trudeau in Canada, he introduced the carbon tax and marijuana tax is coming. All evidence of bigger government and greater control of you and your wallet - this is the appearance of socialism and the end result is Communism. Beware!
