La Botz supports radical democracy, the democratic control of the economy by the majority of Americans instead of by a small minority.

We brought a Federal Election Commission complaint to protest our exclusion from the debates organized by the newspapers and television stations in the state. While we hope to receive thousands of votes, we will also measure the success of this campaign by our own goals of carrying out an educational campaign, building networks of activists, and creating a small socialist movement in Ohio...."

"On key issues such as health care, the environment and military spending, La Botz suggests that we organize society around the needs of a working woman with children. 'If we took care of such a woman, we would take care of everyone,' says La Botz. In our society today, however, 'everything is organized around the needs of a CEO ... and we can't move forward politically, culturally or economically while we are dominated by the corporation....'"

I support the existing unions of the University of Michigan and hope to see full unionization of all employees, greater employee control, and stronger and more participatory student unions..."
