'“In the gay world, there Is an unhappy phenomenon where anyone who does anything or accomplishes anything at all Is immediately pilloried and con demned. This phenomenon exists among any repressed people; we are taught to hate each other. And the ruling white males never have to worry about attacking our ideas: among us there is always someone to do their work.” — FAG RAG, Boston, 1974

The cry that I hear most commonly from our people is, “We don’t have a voice in the government!" This is true on the whole, for the current electoral process serves to re press and discourage opposition, as well as to prevent basic changes. The apparent REVEREND RAT SEEKS 16 th District choice between the “two" major political parties give the electorate only the illusion of DEMOCRAT political power. Rockefeller and Getty often call them the Republocrats. That is because candidates of both major political parties are dedicated to upholding the status quo . . . which, of course, is unemployment, higher taxes, poorer people, pollution, racism, im CONORESSIONAL SEAT perialism, and on and on it got's with few changes for the better, but many for the worse. The Ropublocratic Party has conspired consistently to deprive individuals of personal freedoms. We see through the Republocratic system a tightening of controls in every area. Our Party stands for the individuals, realizing that a representative government cannot exist unless personal freedoms are guaranteed. They cannot be guaranteed by nine senile corrupt men sitting in judgment of people they have no understanding of or concern for. as they serve the Rockefellers and Gettys! We hold that the individual is prior to institutions and property. Government should not establish morality, but merely prevent infringement of others’ rights (not their sensibilities). When elected, I shall fight to guarantee the rights to privacy, to personal, religious and political beliefs and practices, to sexual freedom between consenting persons, to abortion without legal restrictions, to free speech. These are the things which the Peace and Freedom Party stands for. and the things which I will work unceasingly to bring into reality. The basic cause of crime in our society is the unequal distribution of property and power. I oppose laws that protect only the propertied and are based upon intimidation, discrimination, brutality, wiretapping, and murder. There is no need for coercive force for social control. The law must protect human rights, and not economic interests. 1 support the demands of workers, organized or unorganized, including students, and those who have not had the opportunity to work, for an adequate standard of living and a greater share of the wealth they produce. I support democratic unions only, which are worker controlled. I support the efforts of the rank and file unionists to end undemo cratic, racist procedures and bureaucratic control in their unions. The Party and myself support the right of all workers to strike for their demands. We need immediate tax relief, a reform to free those with marginal incomes from financing the system that oppresses them and to shift the burden of taxation to those that got wealthy off the system. A tax system which is designed to eliminate the con centration of wealth. The Republocratic Party has had more than enough time to rectify the wrongs of our system, yet they seek more time. Time has run out. It is time for a change, a big change, and that is time for Peace and for Freedom, which our party brings.
