US Socialist Stewart Alexander Leaves the PFP (tags)
I have met many wonderful and dedicated activists throughout my experience with the Peace and Freedom Party, and hope to maintain many of those friendships in the upcoming years.

My commitment to the Peace and Freedom Party extends as far as the Party's commitment to socialism.
