BRIAN MOORE, SOCIALIST, INVITES PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES TO DEBATE Several weeks ago the Moore / Alexander '08 campaign extended written invitations to other presidential candidates (Ralph Nader (Independent), Cynthia McKinney (Green Party), and Dr. Chuck Baldwin (Constitution Party Nominee) to participate in several planned community television debates in Florida, as well as to organize a tour of debates together in select regions of the country. We have heard from the McKinney and Baldwin campaigns, but so far nothing from the Nader campaign. Ironically, Mr. Nader reported on his website yesterday (May 13) of his own expected debate with Barack Obama based on the Democrat's response to Tim Russert's question in a May 4th interview, stating that he was willing to debate with "any of my opponents about what this country means, what makes it great... in order to further the country's interest." Thus, we are assuming that Mr. Nader will feel the same way about our earlier invitation for alternative presidential candidates to debate each other; or, better yet, to participate with Mr. Nader in his expected invite to debate Mr. Obama.

Socialist Dwain Reynolds for Michigan State Board of Education Middleville, MI -- Socialist Dwain Reynolds III announced his candidacy today to run for Michigan's State Board of Education. Reynolds has spent the last few months traveling throughout Michigan in preparation for his campaign. "I have talked to countless residents of our "forgotten state" and have learned many things. Most of all I have learned that the residents of Michigan (students, parents, employers, employees, etc...) are ready for a progressive change. Ready for new ideas; geared up for their children to finally have what they deserve from their government. Continuously I see students and young adults who have lost hope and are now prepared to believe that things can progress for the better. They know that they are not represented in current mainstream politics (as well as the rest of the working class, middle class, working poor) and are ready to have someone who cares about their welfare standing up for them as well as their parents, teachers, and friends. People are no longer saying "I hope things will get better" instead they have replaced it with "things will be better and we're going to make sure of it before it's too late". These people are the reason I am running; the reason I have hope for a better tomorrow"... read more. SOCIALIST MATT ERARD TO RE-CHALLENGE WARREN FOR MICHIGAN'S 53rd DISTRICT STATE HOUSE SEAT ANN ARBOR, MI -- Socialist Matt Erard announced his candidacy today to run for a second time against Democratic incumbent Rebekah Warren for the 53rd District seat in the Michigan House of Representatives. Erard ran as a Socialist for the same office for the first time in the previous election in 2006. Due to the Socialist Party's lack of ballot access in Michigan, Erard was forced to appear on the 2006 ballot as a candidate with "No Party Affiliation" and was the first candidate for that office to qualify for the general election ballot by petition since 1984. Although not victorious in the last election, Erard received eight-hundred and forty-seven votes from Ann Arbor voters... read more. |

Many candidates: corporate media obscures U.S. presidential politics Recently, I was waiting at a traffic signal at the entrance of the I-15 Freeway north, in Murrieta, California; and while waiting, the passenger in the car waiting next to my truck, asked me about a sign on the rear window of my truck that reads "No Liberty Quarry in Temecula". I quickly asked him to support the protest against the quarry; he then asked me to support Ron Paul for president. I told him that I was supporting Brian Moore for president and then we both waved good bye... read more. Socialists: Working people don't need stimulus checks, working people need good paying jobs Today, millions of Americans are considering how they will spend their government rebate checks that will be received within the next few days and weeks. Recently, the Bush administration announced that the checks would be released earlier in hopes of giving the U.S. economy a needed jump start... read more. Senate housing bill -- more grief for homeowners Housing bill -- homeowners lose round one in U.S. Senate. Socialists across the nation are rejecting a U.S. Senate housing bill that offers little help to struggling homeowners facing foreclosure, while providing tens of billions for banks, financial institutions and big corporations. The bill (Foreclosure Prevention Act) passed in the Senate this past week by a vote of 84-12 and has been sent to the House. The vote was clearly a major setback for millions of homeowners and a big win for banks and big businesses... read more. Child Care as a Social Justice Issue For many women these days, child care is a major issue. As parents, they face formidable, sometimes insurmountable, hurdles trying to find affordable, high-quality care for our young children. As child care workers, they commit themselves to a career characterized by low status, low pay, and insufficient benefits. This should not come as a startling revelation, since an abundance of documentation exists on both these issues. In fact, the solution is also clear: uniting for quality child care means linking affordability and accessibility to the right of child care workers to good wages, benefits, and working conditions; it means expanding the struggle for quality child care to include the quality of the program, the quality of the workplace, and the quality of society as a whole. Demands and action must occur in all these areas if our communities are ever to create and maintain a just, equitable, and compassionate child care system... read more. Socialists: Re-Thinking Electric Cars and Automobile Industry In March 2006, while running as a candidate for California Lieutenant Governor, I introduced a $75 billion plan that was designed to revive the struggling U.S. automobile industry; manufacturing electric cars and hydrogen vehicles. Later, that plan was revised to a 10 year, $120 billion plan that would have positioned the U.S. automobile industry on the forefront of manufacturing electric cars and hydrogen vehicles. It is now necessary to revise this plan to end the America¿s dependency on oil and to create good paying job for working people... read more. |

Socialist Voters Lose Out in New Mexico Marxist voters, remember how to spell this name: Brian Moore, Socialist Party candidate for president. Moore failed to collect the requisite signatures for his party to make it on the New Mexico ballot. Moore tells SFR that it was in part due to mixed signals from the Secretary of State's Office regarding petition requirements and the relatively miniscule body of Socialist voters in the state. The good news, he says, is that he's confident he'll qualify as a write-in candidate in New Mexico for the November general election. You can find this report at www.SFReporter.com.
