Third party candidates - Socialist party USA


Well, it is time to do another third party candidate for President. This one is Brian P. Moore and he is running as the candidate for the Liberty Union party, the Socialist party and the Socialist party USA. His campaign website can be found here. According to this website (which has many spelling errors, fyi), the issues they find important are the following: "First, take control, restore and protect the basic elements for our existence: air, water, land and ecosystems. Develop renewable energy to replace nuclear power and fossil fuels. Second, give major importance to the human needs of food, housing and health. Promote an environmentally sound agricultural system and a national health plan. Thirdly, implement a fundamental transformation of the economy by focusing on human need and not on profit. This is to be done through community ownership and worker control of industry and financial institutions; resulting in the redistribution of wealth and elimination of global poverty. Fourth, we call for an immediate and unconditional withdrawal of American military and corporations from Iraq and Afghanistan, and convert from a military to a peace-oriented economy. Fifth, defend and extend constitutional and bill of right liberties, abolish Patriot Act I & II and the Military Tribunal Bill. Sixth, promote art, culture, dance, music, history, preservation of heritage, leisure, recreation and access to public television and radio.

A very interesting platform.
