KSHB 41 reports:

More than 400 people turned out Wednesday night at the Uptown Theater in Kansas City, Missouri, to listen to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who’s making his case for a spot on the presidential ballot as an independent candidate.

KSHB 41 talked with people from across the Kansas City area who were ready to hear Kennedy's take on the issues.

“We need to go with our heart and who we feel is listening to the people, and listening to us and what we have to say,” Elisa Cantu said.

Karen Quertermous, who attended Kennedy's rally, said she was impressed by what he told the crowd.

“He stood up for what’s right and that’s so refreshing," Quertermous said.

Kennedy made clear he’s working to secure 10,000 signatures in Missouri to be eligible for a spot on the ballot, and is working across the country to gather hundreds of thousands signatures to earn a spot on as many state ballots as possible.

“I’m going to do an experiment of telling the truth, even when you’re running for political office,” Kennedy said from the stage at the Uptown Theater.
