Despite tireless efforts by dedicated volunteers we were denied access to the ballot this year due to the prohibitive laws set in place by the two-party monopoly. Falling just short of the necessary number of petition signatures, we decided to continue forward with a write-in campaign. We feel that it is important to give progressives, Socialists and Marxists alike an option that they can conscionably vote for.

The Socialist Party has a rich history of electoral politics in The United States dating back to it’s formation in 1901. On the National level Eugene Debs and Norman Thomas captured the hearts and minds of millions of working class Americans who understood the injustice of a capitalist economy. In Connecticut we had the honor of electing Mr. Jasper McLevy mayor of Bridgeport among many other mayors, city councel members, etc. No small testament to perseverance, Mr. McLevy began running for mayor in 1901 and ran in every election until he finally won in 1933, along with a Socialist majority on the board of Aldermen. McLevy was re-elected 11 times and ran a very competitive campaign for governor of Connecticut in 1938.

It is in this spirit of struggle for justice, equality and socialism that we are pleased to share the attached campaign flyer with you in hope that you might help by circulating and spreading the word.

Re-Educate. Activate. Overcome.

In Peace & Solidarity,

Todd Vachon

'I'd Rather Vote for what I want and not get it than vote for what I don't want and get it.' - Eugene Debs

“Totalitarian states love voting. You get peopleto the polls and they register their approval. I know there is adifference- they have one party and we have two parties. We have one more partythan they have, you see.” - Howard Zinn

'There must be renewed recognition that societies are kept stable and healthy by reform, not by thought police; this means that there must be free play for so-called 'subversive' ideas--every idea 'subverts' the old to make way for the new. To shut off 'subversion' is to shut off peaceful progress and to invite revolution and war.' - I.F. Stone
