Adam Kokesh will host a free concert at the Greer Garson Theater tonight to promote his campaign for Congress in 2010.
Kokesh, a 27-year-old veteran of Iraq, is registered as a Republican, but says he hasn't decided what, if any, party nomination he will seek.
He has been endorsed by Ron Paul, a Republican congressman from Texas who ran unsuccessfully for his party's nomination for president last year on an anti-war platform.
Kokesh, who served for six years in the U.S. Marines, said he went to Iraq in 2004 because he supported the mission there. But on his Web site —
kokeshforcongress.com — he said he soon realized that, "the greatest enemies of the Constitution to which I swore an oath to support and defend, are not to be found in the sands of some far off land, but rather occupying the seats of power, right here at home!"
Rick Reyes and Jordan Page headline the concert, from 10 p.m. to midnight, at the Greer Garson Theater on the College Santa Fe campus, 1600 St. Michael's Drive.
