A Statement by Stewart Alexander, 2012 Socialist Party Candidate for President of the United States
President Obama:
Though the battle was not fair – I had no Super PAC, a billion dollars in campaign funds, daily access to the mainstream media, nor even ballot lines waiting for me – I concede defeat in this election and recognize your victory.
Over the last four years, you have managed to shield the Americans conscience, not only continuing the overall policies of George W Bush, but expanding upon them as well. I cringe in despair to think of how many Occupiers were falsely arrested or sprayed with mace because of your coordination with municipalities from the White House and then voted for you just the same. I fear what you will continue to do in order to intimidate various leftist groups with your interpretations of law which infringe upon the internationally accepted rights to free speech and thought. I shudder at your ability to convince anti-war activists to embrace war, civil libertarians to embrace tyranny, and labor activists to embrace corporate welfare and attacks on union workers....

Seniors Give Voters a Choice in California Election

write-in campaign effort, and Ann Alexander, 88-years-old followed the
campaign volunteers to assure that all the write-in petitions were
completed and notarized. On Tuesday, the California Secretary of State
contacted the Alexander/Mendoza campaign with the good news: “The
petitions are certified and the campaign is qualified for write-in.”

Who would have imagined that two great grandmothers in their 80s would make it possible for Californians to vote for a socialist ticket in the upcoming November General Election? Well, 88-year-old Ann Alexander and 83-year-old Maggie Phair made that all possible. Ann Alexander is the mother of Stewart Alexander, the Presidential nominee for the Socialist Party USA, and Maggie Phair is a lifelong socialist and political activist.

Pre-Election Message by Stewart Alexander
In some states, voters will be able to cast their vote to speak for the 99 percent and vote for Stewart Alexander for President and Alex Mendoza for Vice President. These voters will be on the frontline to revolt against a political system that is unfair and unjust; their votes will be a revolt against unfair ballot access laws that has rigged the entire political process to limit voter choice to the candidates of the two corporate parties.

A Statement by Stewart Alexander, Socialist Party Candidate for President of the United States
We are approaching the final days before the November 2012 General Election; and one year since the SPUSA nominated Stewart Alexander and Alex Mendoza for president and vice president, the Alexander/Mendoza presidential campaign has been able to reach out to millions of working people with a message of hope for real change that is only possible in a society that is established around the principles of socialism.
The Alexander/Mendoza campaign has sought to unveil the lies of the capitalists that has given working people a false sense of hope and security that has only enslaved the minds of working people; a false sense of hope that good paying jobs will be created; a false sense of hope that education will be affordable; a false sense of hope that access to affordable healthcare is possible; a false sense of hope for affordable housing; a false sense of hope that the nation will pursue peace, not war....

SPUSA Presidential Candidate Alexander Comments on Obama "Gaffe"
26 July 2012
Contact media [at] stewartalexanderforpresident2012.org
LOS ANGELES, CA -President Obama is facing a massive smear campaign by right wing forces for pointing out the interconnectedness of society and how those with the most are benefiting from society. The Socialist Party USA Presidential ticket of Stewart Alexander and Alex Mendoza agree with this sentiment while, at the same time, pointing out that President Obama’s record raises questions as to whether his sentiment is genuine.
“It is not a Marxist idea nor a socialist idea that members of society support one another,” explains Alexander. “Even Adam Smith said, ‘We shall be sensible that without the assistance and co-operation of many thousands, the very meanest person in a civilized country could not be provided, […] the easy and simple manner in which he is commonly accommodated.’ Only a sociopath could deny it though capitalism does its best to ignore it.”

Greens Challenge Third Parties, “Fight Against the Corporate Parties Not Each Other”
A Statement by Stewart Alexander, Socialist Party Candidate for President of the United States
8 July 2012
Running for President as a Third Party candidate is a tough gig. Out on the campaign trail we are always outspent by the Democrats and Republicans, opposed in court by their fancy lawyers and harassed by their, mostly paid, political representatives. Worst of all, both of these corporate funded parties rely on fundamentally undemocratic ballot access laws to ensure their own dominance. I take this for granted – the Democrats and Republicans will resort to any dirty trick necessary to fend off a challenge from Third Party candidates. The big surprise of this election season is that another Third Party, the Illinois Green Party, not the Democrats and Republicans are the ones resorting to dirty tricks....

Socialist Party Candidate Alexander Calls Obamacare Another Corporate Giveaway
Obama’s policy was based on the original sin
of allowing the pharmaceutical companies off the hook. He then followed
this up by pledging public funds to subsidize junk healthcare plans,
coercing Americans into purchasing these plans and silencing the voices
of single-payer healthcare advocates. Obamacare is not healthcare
reform; it is just another corporate giveaway by the Obama
administration.

Socialist Party USA Presidential Candidate Stewart Alexander condemned the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the provisions of the President Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

He highlighted the need for a fully socialized healthcare system that guarantees access to high quality healthcare as a human right....

Socialist Presidential Candidate Stewart Alexander Condemns Coup in Paraguay
“The impeachment of President Lugo was a coup carried out by
Conservative forces in the Congress against the will of the people of
Paraguay,”
27 June 2012
Socialist Party USA Presidential Candidate Stewart Alexander condemns the removal of the democratically elected President of Paraguay Fernando Lugo. Alexander describes the removal by Congressional impeachment as an illegitimate coup. He calls upon the Paraguayan Congress to restore President Lugo and condemns US President Barack Obama for not strongly denouncing the undemocratic maneuver.

Stewart Alexander Deciphers Latest Jobs Report
03 June 2012
The Socialist Party USA Presidential Candidate Stewart Alexander says that the most recent jobs report represents the bankruptcy of Obama’s economic policy
The Socialist Party USA Presidential Candidate Stewart Alexander says that the most recent jobs report represents the bankruptcy of Obama’s economic policy. The report included an increase in the unemployment rate to 8.2% and indicates a lull in job creation for the first quarter.
Alexander proposes a public employment program that will use public funds to put unemployed Americans back to work. This plan is the opposite of the course chosen by Obama, who lavished the banks and private companies with money as a part of his bailout program....

Socialist Party Presidential Ticket Defends Public Workforce; Defends the US Postal Service
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
7 May 2012
Contact: Lynn Lomibao
Email: media [at] stewartalexanderforpresident2012.org
Los Angeles, CA – The past few years have been marked by attacks on the public workers. In states such as Wisconsin, Republicans attacked the right of state employees to collectively bargain; in states such as Massachusetts, the Democrats did the same. Federal employees faced a two year pay freeze, despite rising wages in the private sector, followed by a hike in pension contributions for new employees, including those that have been federally employed for up to five years. The United States Postal Service is looking at turning back services and potentially laying off 80,000 workers due to a manufactured budget shortfall. The Socialist Party USA ticket of Stewart Alexander and Alex Mendoza say that this is part of a larger attack upon the working class for the benefit of the wealthiest 1%.

Socialist Response to the State of the Union
Obama’s State of the Union - Too Little Too Late
A Statement by Stewart Alexander, Socialist Party Candidate for President of the United States
25 January 2012
The phrase that came to mind immediately upon hearing President Barack Obama’s State of the Union speech is “too little, too late.” After spending the last few years coddling the banks and the richest 1%, Obama has the nerve to now call for “economic fairness.” To him, this means tweaking payroll taxes and making a rhetorical call to reverse the Bush tax cuts for the rich. For working people in America real fairness means the right to a job, a guarantee of healthcare for all and an end to the Military Industrial Complex. Obama won’t deliver this. That’s why I am running for President against him...

Los Angeles, CA – The Socialist Party USA Presidential Ticket of Stewart Alexander and Alex Mendoza are expecting a very poor February jobs report after reading the report released on January 6. They note that good jobs are still giving way to poor ones and jobs gained appeared to be directly tied to the holiday season – in particular the massive consumerism revolving around Christmas and the short time beyond. They hold to their message that capitalism is failing Americans.
