Crunch Time to get
Rocky Anderson & Luis Rodriguez on NJ
Ballot
We only have a couple of days to finish
gathering the necessary signatures to get Rocky Anderson for President
2012 [1] and his recently announced VP, Luis Rodriguez [2] on the NJ
ballot as nominees of the newly formed Justice Party [3].
The road team is here
and have been working hard to finish up the
petition. They are looking for people who would be
willing to help with securing the final number of
signatures needed to have the best Presidential
candidates on the ballot in New Jersey this
November.
If you are able to give an hour or two to help
the road team, please contact Mike at

The Justice Party is offering a dynamic
duo with Rocky and Luis, two men who
have dedicated their lives to fighting for others.
Two men who have helped organize numerous events
on important issues and who were not
afraid to be in the streets with other
activists at those events. Showing
their sincerity to the issues and actually
presenting solutions to many problems,
distinguishing them from the other elitist
Presidential candidates.
Both have demonstrated great leadership and
have shown a proven commitment to social,
economic, and environmental justice.
Rocky while mayor of Salt Lake City implemented
perhaps the nation’s most comprehensive
restorative justice programs, created city-wide
after-school and summer programs, and was
considered by many to be the “greenest mayor” in
the U.S. During his service as Mayor, he reduced
greenhouse gas emissions [4]
from city operations by 31% in three years and was
one of the top climate protection activists in
the world, winning the World Leadership Award
in London for environmental programs and
advocacy.
Also demonstrated by building Light Rail and
public transportation, they improved air quality
leading to improved health, reduction of traffic
and congestion, smart growth, mobility freedom and
community interaction. Asthma attacks were
dramatically lower as a result.
While still mayor, Anderson rose to nationwide
prominence as a champion of several national and
international causes, including climate protection [5],
immigration reform, one of the top 10 in the
world straight advocates for LGBT rights [6], and calling for
an end to the "war on drugs". [7]
Before and after [8] the
invasion by the U.S. of Iraq in 2003, Anderson was
a leading opponent of the invasion and occupation
of Iraq and related human rights abuses. Anderson
was the only mayor of a major U.S. city who
advocated for the impeachment of President George
W. Bush, which he did in many venues throughout
the United States.
Among the many issues,Anderson supports and
offers solutions to achieving single-payer health
coverage “Medicare for All” [9], restoring the rule of law [10]
and the end to Corporate Welfare [11].
Recently the Washington Times [12] did a four
part series on Rocky about his stand on the issues
and his accomplishments, worth reading.
Rocky’s pick for VP truly exemplifies the
dedication of his commitment to serve the people.
Luis Rodriguez, has for
over thirty years conducted workshops, readings,
and talks in prisons, juvenile facilities,
homeless shelters, migrant camps, universities,
public and private schools, conferences, churches,
Native American reservations, and men's
conferences.
Luis has received the Inner City Struggle of
East L.A.’s “Spirit of Struggle”/Ruben Salazar
Award; the “Local Hero of Community” Award from
KCET-TV of L.A. and Union Bank of California;
“Hero of Nonviolence” Award from Rev. Michael
Beckwith and the Agape Christian Center in Culver
City, CA; and an "Unsung Heroes of Compassion"
Award, presented by His Holiness the Dalai
Lama.
So get out and get involved and help give
people a real choice this November. Please contact
