David McReynolds on Principles & Values

Widen the range of views by including Socialists

It is good that a range of views be offered to the electorate. There is very little to choose between Bush and Gore, very little real debate of substance on our domestic and foreign policy. The arena of debate must be broadened, the range of issues discussed extended. That would be my job as the candidate of the Socialist Party.

Socialist Party stands for values beyond consumerism

There are many problems still facing us, as our society seems overwhelmed by raw materialism, too often devoid of any values beyond consumerism. There is a spiritual dimension to our common life, of respect for each person, of striving to fulfill our own lives and of helping others, not in terms of cash flow but of lives well and truly lived, lives engaged in a sense of justice and community. That is what the Socialist Party stands for and, if nominated, I will seek to represent it across the nation Source: (X-ref Budget) Press Conference announcing candidacy Sep 7, 1999
