The Social Security Administration was established in 1937 under the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, it was an important part of Roosevelt’s New Deal to America; now 70 years since the system was introduced, Stewart Alexander, Candidate for President, wants to give more to an aging America.
In 2006 Stewart Alexander was running as a candidate for California lieutenant governor and part of his platform advocated doubling the California minimum wage. Now Alexander is seeking to establish a universal basic income for all seniors to guarantee a basic standard of living.
Alexander wants everyone, 50 and over, to receive a basic income that will provide for basic needs; food housing, clothing, transportation and utilities.
The present social security system will be bankrupt in 35 years, under the present management, and will not provide for America’s aging. Alexander also rejects some ideas to privatize social security because he believes it will subject the system to corporate abuse.
More and more senior Americans are being forced to work into their 70’s and 80’s just to afford food and transportation, and are having to rely on family for housing and to meet other critical needs. Alexander wants to guarantee all seniors a basic.
Many seniors receive less than $10,000 annually from social security and are without any other sources of income. The present system is forcing seniors to live at poverty levels and will leave many, nationwide, homeless and hungry.
Stewart Alexander is a candidate with the Peace and Freedom Party and the party has been an advocate for working people since 1967; when the organization was established.
Alexander says, “The platform of the Peace and Freedom Party works for working class people; the PFP demands a guaranteed dignified income for those who cannot work, and a Universal Basic Income to alleviate poverty and homelessness.”
The Peace and Freedom Party is a socialist party and have plans to mount a nationwide campaign for the 2008 elections. Presently the party is working with individuals and organization across the nation to have PFP candidates on the ballots in other states; the party is presently ballot qualified in California.

This guy sounds like some of the old right-wing "socialists" of 100 years ago.
He not only doesn't use words like racism and imperialism,
but he doesn't even hint at the existence of such phenomena! Moreover, he doesn't
use words like capitalism or speak of the need for fundamental social
change. He just talks about mild reforms, which aren't necesarily bad in themselves,
but they don't constitute a socialist program. Even worse, they don't deal with
the responsibility of socialists in an imperialist country to actively oppose
their own country's warmaking and predation.
Stewart Alexander is, as he himself implies here, a New Deal democrat -- and a tepid one at that! As someone who is still registered in the Peace and Freedom Party, I'll feel very embarrassed if this guy gets the party's presidential nomination.
