we are writing
to express our solidarity and support for you and the people
of your community.
As a small political party, we understand what it is like to
circulate
petitions against powerful opposition. Just as Benton Harbor
has to fight the
corporate takeover of your town, we in California are in
battle with two
corporate parties that are trying to tighten their grip on
the State of
California and its tremendous resources. They deny us the
jobs, education,
housing, health care, and environmental protections we need.
We have been excluded
from the ballot by the notorious “top-two” primary rule and
a media black-out
of our campaigns.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to be aimed at
silencing anyone who dares to stand up for the rights of the
people. They

candidates or
participates in a recall campaign against the rich and
