Vote Socialist Workers!
� U.S. out of Iraq! Support struggle for development in colonial world
� Organize and strengthen unions; for a labor party based on the unions that fights in the interests of workers and farmers worldwide
(editorial)
Vote Socialist Workers! Vote for the SWP candidates where they are on the ballot and write their names in where they�ve been excluded. That�s what we urge on November 2.
Including its nominees for president and vice president, the Socialist Workers Party is fielding 44 candidates in 22 states and the District of Columbia who offer a working-class alternative to the twin parties of U.S. imperialism�the Democrats and Republicans.
The SWP presidential ticket of R�ger Calero and Arrin Hawkins, and socialist candidates for state and local office across the country, are presenting a revolutionary working-class program in the United States to reach out to our sisters and brothers around the world in order to strengthen the struggle against our common enemies�the imperialist aggressors and capitalist exploiters the world over.
The SWP campaign has been explaining that to resist stiffening assaults by the bosses, workers in the United States need to organize unions and to use our unions as effective instruments of struggle where they already exist. Out of the struggle to organize and transform the unions, a labor party based on the unions needs to be formed that fights in the interests of workers and farmers. That�s the only way for working people to fight not only on the economic level but to develop our own political voice independent of the ruling capitalists and their parties.
