 A proposal to the people of the United States from 2012 (former) candidate for the U.S. presidency: 

Excerpt, minor editing by Carolyn Bennett

“I ran the race to heighten awareness, to inspire people toward effective action,” Rocky Anderson says in a memo dropped in my inbox today.

Third-party presidential debates 2012

“As demonstrated by third-party candidates in the past …, a third-party effort ─ helping to catalyze a persistent, broad-based democratic movement for real change ─ can win far more than an election.

“

Our campaign was a call for the people of the United States to take charge – they must be the leaders and we must build a broad-based powerful movement ─ if we are to: 

Rocky Anderson

overthrow the plutocracy – government that is up for sale to the highest bidder 

end the imperial presidency 

restore the rule of law, and the most fundamental freedoms guaranteed under the Constitution of the United States 

end the two-tiered economic and justice systems, and achieve a republic where no one is above the law 

respect civil and human rights ─ here and abroad 

Only the people

end the empire-building serving only the interests of multi-national corporations and plutocrats 

end poverty in a nation where presidential candidates will not even discuss poverty 

end corporate cronyism that has caused economic devastation for the vast majority of American people 

end the deprivation of basic health care for tens of millions of people 

finally, bring an end to the strangle-hold the two corporatist, militarist political parties have on the U.S. electoral system and our government. 

 

“
