		<description><![CDATA[On October 23, Presidential candidate Roseanne Barr received an inquiry from the Russian periodical Moskovsky Komsomolets. Here are the reporter&#8217;s questions and Roseanne&#8217;s answers. My name is Andrey Yashlavsky, I&#8217;m a journalist and I work with one of the most popular Russian Moscow-based newspaper &#8220;Moskovsky Komsomolets&#8221; ( www.mk.ru ) with circulation about 2 mln. copies. Of course we have a great interest towards US presidential election 2012. And we understand that America isn&#8217;t only Mr. Obama and Mr. Romney. You&#8217;re Peace and Freedom Party&#8217;s 2012 presidential nominee – so we would like to ask you some questions. 1) What&#8217;s a goal of your campaign? I&#8217;m running to raise consciousness. So many essential issues are not being addressed by the two major candidates. In fact, fake issues are being stressed as a distraction, the prime example being the alleged &#8220;threat&#8217; posed by Iran. Specifically, I&#8217;m running to remind people that their Government is in the hands of a duopoly comprised of two corrupt parties, which take turns plundering, then being kicked out of power, and then returning when the voters tire of being plundered by the &#8220;other face&#8221; of the Ruling Class. This isn&#8217;t a radical view of the situation; it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Statement from the California State Chair of the Peace and Freedom Party October 26, 2012 The Peace and Freedom Party stands by the introduction to our platform plank on sexual orientation, which states, &#8220;We work for a society without gender stereotyping or bias, where all people enjoy equal rights and respect.&#8221; The long-time basic Peace and Freedom Party position is strong opposition to bullying, discrimination, oppression and baiting directed against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered individuals, and strong support for the demand for total equality. We hold as a fundamental principle the equality of all people regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity. We do not believe that any group is inclined to be more intelligent, moral, or worthwhile, or any less so. While we organize against acts of exploitation, we reject the notion that any group is more or less likely to be sexually exploitative than any other. We have recently been asked to clarify our position on the rights of transgendered people in public facilities. If restrooms are labeled &#8220;men&#8221; and &#8220;women,&#8221; should self-identifying females who retain male sexual organs be allowed to use the ladies room? We say, &#8220;Yes.&#8221; Since public restrooms bear signs allowing attendants of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well into the 21st century, indentured servitude persists in several forms, mainly in agriculture, the garment trades, sex work, and domestic service. The current name for it is human trafficking. As both socialists and feminists, we work to end all coercive relationships, including trafficking. We therefore oppose Proposition 35, the so-called CASE Act (for &#8220;Californians Against Sexual Exploitation&#8221;). It would do very little good and significant harm. Human trafficking can&#8217;t be ended by measures like this, no matter how sincerely their proponents wish for that result. It can only be ended at the source, by fighting for jobs, decent wages, and safe working conditions for everyone &#8212; and by helping workers everywhere organize and fight for themselves &#8212; so that no one needs to accept being trafficked. Short of this long-term goal, we should also work for specific reforms that would actually help the victims of trafficking. Those who want out of their indentures should be offered shelter, education, health care, jobs, and protection from reprisals. Workers imported into this country illegally should be free from the threat of deportation. The capitalists who profit from indentured labor (which is to say the capitalist class as a whole) should pay for [...]]]></description>
