Brian Moore
is a democratic socialist politician from Spring Hill, Florida. He is the Socialist Party USA and Liberty Union Party nominee for President of the United States in the 2008 election. Formerly a member of the Democratic Party and later an independent, he is now a member of the Socialist Party. Moore, of Florida, and vice-presidential nominee Stewart Alexander of California, were nominated on October 20, 2007 at the party’s National Convention in St. Louis, Missouri.[1] Moore was the only candidate to collect the 1,000 signatures required to participate in the Liberty Union Party’s presidential primary. The primary election is binding, so Moore will be the Liberty Union nominee in the November general election.[2][3]
Moore earned a bachelor’s degree at San Luis Rey College in California, a Master’s degree in Public Administration from Arizona State University, and studied in a Franciscan seminary before joining the Peace Corps in 1969. As a Peace Corps volunteer and later working for a non-profit agency, Moore was involved in community development and infrastructure projects in poor neighborhoods of Bolivia, Panama and Peru. He has worked almost 20 years in the HMO/Managed Care industry as an Executive Director, Project Administrator, and Consultant.
Internationally, Moore has been involved in community development, reconstruction and infrastructure rehabilitation projects (housing, water, electricity and sewage) in the developing and poverty-stricken countries of Panama, Peru, and Ecuador. For more than five years, Moore designed and implemented programs for public health projects (vaccination and health education) in Latin America (Brazil, Guatemala, Colombia, Dominican Republic and Mexico) and Tanzania, Africa, in coordination with and on behalf of private corporations, religious institutions and non-governmental organizations. Moore raised $3 million for a de-worming project that successfully protected more than one million children from parasitic infections in the poverty-stricken areas of Brazil, Guatemala and the Dominican Republic.[citation needed]
Stewart Alexander
is a democratic socialist politician and the Socialist Party USA nominee for Vice President of the United States in the 2008 election.[1][2][3] A resident of California, Alexander was the Peace and Freedom Party candidate for Lieutenant Governor in 2006. He received 43,319 votes, 0.5% of the total.
While in the Air Force Reserve, Alexander worked as a full-time retail clerk at Safeway Stores and then began attending college at California State University. He dropped out when a college professor asked him if he was stupid and asked him to drop her class. In compensation, Stewart began working overtime as a stocking clerk with Safeway. His first marriage began with Freda Alexander in this period, they had one son, but the marriage ended.[4]
He was honorably discharged in October 1976 and married for the second time. He left Safeway in 1978 and for a brief period worked as a licensed general contractor. In 1980, he went to work for Lockheed Aircraft but soon quit in 1981. He took a job in sales and decided to visit Israel to connect with his Christian past.[4]
However, once he arrived in Israel, he was arrested and then interrogated for not travelling in a group. He spent the night in an Israeli jail and was sent to an airport in Tel Aviv and put on a Trans World Airlines flight back to the United States. Stewart was told that he is not welcome back in Israel in the future.[4]
The above are from their Wikipedia.org entries. I’d have normally not put so much here, but thought that was too interesting to leave out. Stewart also has run previously for Mayor of Los Angeles. Moore has run for Washington, DC Mayor and City Council, as well as Congress in the Florida 5th District.
