27 January 2008
In an open letter to their supporters on 26 January, the Los Angeles branch of the Freedom Socialist Party endorsed both Brian Moore and Stewart Alexander for the Peace and Freedom presidential primary on 5 Feburary, and called on people to register and vote Peace and Freedom in order to keep "a socialist alternative at the polls". The FSP argues for a vote for either Brian Moore or Stewart Alexander on the basis that they "support an immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq, full amnesty for undocumented immigrants, a $15 per hour minimum wage, healthcare for all, abortion rights, same-sex marriage, and steps toward a socialist economy". Specifically, the letter highlights voting for Alexander, though votes for either Brian or Stewart will help get the ticket on the ballot in California.
The Freedom Socialist Party is a Trotskyist and socialist-feminist political party based out of Seattle. In the past they have run their own candidates, as well as endorsing candidates of other socialist parties that they feel are most in line with their principles and goals. In addition to Brian Moore and Stewart Alexander, the FSP have also recommended voting for Gloria La Riva of the Party for Socialism and Liberation in the PFP primary.
