[Marxism] Labor Party to seek South Carolina ballot status!

["acpollack2@xxxxxxxx" <acpollack2@xxxxxxxx>]

This step builds on years of base-building for the LP, as well as on 
the struggles of workers in South Carolina, including especially the 
ILA strike. Tens of thousands of signatures must be gathered in less 
than two months, and funds are needed.
This is a chance to make history!

IN THIS ISSUE:
Labor Party to Seek Ballot Access in South Carolina!
The Labor Party's Interim National Council has authorized formation of a South 
Carolina Labor Party Organizing Committee as a first step toward entering the 
electoral arena in that state. The initial objective is to attain certification 
as a political party and thereby gain ballot access.

State election law, written as always by the two corporate parties, requires 
presentation of petitions signed by 10,000 validated registered voters in the 
state as the first hurdle toward certification. For the South Carolina Labor 
Party to be eligible to field a candidate in the 2006 election, these petitions 
must be filed no later than January 31, 2006.

The national Labor Party has committed to assist in the signature gathering 
process. This is a taxing and costly endeavor, and an uphill struggle. And we 
can only succeed with the commitment of all the Labor Party. However, the 
exciting potential of establishing a serious and unabashed working class voice 
in South Carolina politics justifies the effort.

See the December *Labor Party News* to find out more about the South Carolina 
initiative and to learn what you can do to help.

ABOUT THE LABOR PARTY
The Labor Party is a national organization made up of international unions and 
thousands of local unions - representing over two million workers - worker 
supportive organizations and individual members. Founded in 1996 at a 
convention of 1,400 delegates, the Labor Party exists to develop an independent 
working-class politics. We believe that on important issues such as health 
care, trade, and the rights to organize, bargain and strike, both the 
Democratic and Republican Parties have failed working people. Visit our website
