Unlike so many of our comrades around the country, those of us living in Wisconsin will have the privilage of voting our Hopes, not our Fears. The Socialist Party Candidates for President/Vice President, Brian Moore and Stewart Alexander will be on your ballot when you go to the polls on Nov 4. I wanted to include a couple short pre-election messages from both candidates, and hope to have one to post directed to our comrades here in Wisconsin before election day.

A pre-election message to voters
Brian Moore
Socialist Party Presidential Candidate
Thursday, 16 October 2008

I urge all of our Socialist Party members to get out and vote, early, if possible, to avoid any problems on election day.

Voting on principle, instead of for power, is our all-important obligation, and that principle is for a radical systemic change in our economic system.

Send a message, loud and clear, that you are not happy with the status quo, nor with our present destructive capitalistic economic system, and that the two mainstream political parties are not offering any choices for the American people.

Your voice is important, especially in showing that alternative radical ideas and the socialistic economic system, which favor workers and average citizens, and promotes real democracy, have to take precedence now more than ever.

A pre-election message to voters
Stewart A. Alexander
Socialist Party Vice-Presidential Candidate
Thursday, 16 October 2008

The 2008 General Election is only days away and millions of voters will have two choices to make: capitalism or socialism, and the voters’ choice for leadership will determine the destiny of the U.S. and world economy well beyond the next term of the U.S. president.

The capitalists have two candidates with one agenda: to protect the profits and the wealth of the super rich. To the contrary, Socialist Party USA and Brian Moore stand for a fundamental transformation of the U.S. and world economy, focusing on production for need not profit. Brian Moore’s campaign is not about reforming the process, “the Moore campaign is about changing the process”

The economic changes that are being offered by the Moore/Alexander campaign are much broader than the New Deal that was introduced during the Roosevelt administration. Socialists believe only a global transformation from capitalism to democratic socialism will provide the conditions for international peace, justice, and economic cooperation based on the large-scale transfer of resources and technology from the developed to the developing countries.

I am asking working people everywhere to vote for Brian Moore for president and Stewart A. Alexander for vice president and not to compromise your vote due to popular opinions or opinion polls. Much more is at stake than just the economy: our freedoms and our security as a nation.

Every 75 years the capitalists ruling class devise an economic crisis which is always followed by a conflict between nations or a major war. We must end this cycle and support socialism and socialist candidates.

In the upcoming General Election, “Get Out and Vote” for a new pathway for working people: vote for Brian Moore for President and Stewart A. Alexander for Vice President.

The Socialist of USA, and the Socialist Party of Wisconsin have selected Brian Moore (right) and Stewart Alexander (left) as our Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates. It is our hope to give voters in Wisconin a real choice this year when they go to vote in November. To do this, we need your help. We have until Labor day to collect 2000 signatures and turn the into the state. You can download a copy of the petition that you can print yourself HERE or you can contact the SPWI office at 414-332-0654, leave a message and we will get back to you shortly.

Remember the following when collecting signatures:

Nope, we were not attacked by the Capitalist but by a stupid mistake by a Socialist sysop, me. While moving to my new server there has been some big problems. It took me all day to move my personal site due to problems, and when I thought I had it all figured out, disaster struck here. I’ve lost the entire database of past entries in the blog. What that means is that I’m going to have to find time to start from the beginning on this blog, and that may take a little while. At least I saved all the graphics and design. I will just need to start over on everything else.
