Cindy Sheehan for Congress!

After her son; Casey, was killed in Iraq , Cindy Sheehan began a tireless campaign against both the war and the Bush administration. Disillusioned by the corporate, pro-war policies of the Democratic Party, Sheehan is running as an independent for Congress in San Francisco 's 8th District against the Speaker of the House, Democrat Nancy Pelosi.

The Peace and Freedom Party proudly endorses Cindy Sheehan's campaign.

Resolution on Impending War in Iran

We, the undersigned, elected leaders of the Peace and Freedom Party, demand an end to the U.S. drive towards war with Iran. The Peace and Freedom Party opposes any military attack on Iran, whether by the U.S. or by the U.S.-funded Israeli military. If entrusted to lead the country, members of Peace and Freedom Party would seek to put an end to the U.S. campaign of lies, demoralization, covert operations and sanctions directed at the people of Iran.

A Time to Build

An extraordinary economic, political and ecological crisis calls on us to create a history-making party in the U.S., a party that unifies and defends our multi-cultural working class, fighting not only for ourselves but for the future of the earth and all its inhabitants. Read more...

Is This an Endless War?

The rulers of the US plan to occupy Iraq and the region for a very long time. Whether a Democrat or Republican is elected President, and whichever of the two major parties controls Congress, as long as the region has oil and as long as the two corporate parties dominate our government, they will keep US troops in harm's way in the Middle East.

Ralph Nader Peace and Freedom Presidential Candidate

Ralph Nader has been selected as California's Peace and Freedom Party presidential candidate for 2008. Ralph Nader is a nationally renowned consumer rights activist whose efforts have helped create important regulatory agencies and the passage of several major laws including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Consumer Product Safety Commission, Safe Drinking Water Act and the Freedom of Information Act of 1974.

Nader's running mate, Matt Gonzalez, is former San Francisco Board of Supervisors president who was narrowly defeated for mayor in 2003 after being outspent 10-1. Both nominees agree with the fundamentals of the P & F platform and bring with them a strong combination of experience, credibility, and legislative accomplishment.

Preamble to Our By-laws

The Peace and Freedom Party is an open, multi-tendency, movement-oriented socialist party. We are united in our common commitment to socialism, democracy, feminism and unionism and our common opposition to capitalism, imperialism, racism, sexism and elitism.

We recognize that we do not all agree on what we mean by "socialism" or on the strategies and tactics of how to get it. We do agree that it means we can have a world where we can all be part of the democratic decision-making on how the wealth of the economy will be used because we will be owners of it, as well as the cooperative self-managing co-participants in producing it.

Voter Registration

In California, voter registration is very important to political parties. The very existence of a political party as "ballot-qualified" is determined by the number of votes its statewide candidates receive or by the number of voters registered with the party. As the only socialist/feminist political party on the California ballot, it is imperative that the Peace and Freedom Party continues as a qualified party. Quite simply, the Peace and Freedom Party will not be able to provide Californians with candidates that will represent us unless we register and vote Peace and Freedom.

For more information about registering to vote in California, you can visit the Secretary of State's website at www.sos.ca.gov/elections/elections_vr.htm.
