Below is a letter from Geoff Braasch announcing his campaign.
Hello Comrades,
After careful consideration and consultation with many comrades, I have decided to seek the Socialist Party USA's nomination for President of the United States.
A Braasch for President campaign will be different than the SPUSA has seen in the recent past. We will campaign as if we are going to WIN. I realize that this is a monumental endeavor, and we will meet with a great many obstacles. It is important; however, to spread the message and indeed the vision of a democratic socialist society, to as many people as possible. We are still in the planning stages of a campaign strategy, but I would like to share with you some of our campaign goals.
We want to reach as many working people, working poor and unemployed people as possible. We want to do more than just visit locals. We want to take the campaign to where the people are. We want to bring the message to people on the picket lines, the unemployment lines, in the workplaces, the parks, the neighborhoods and yes, on university campuses. We want to focus our attention on reaching the 61% of eligible voters who did not vote in the last presidential election. We want to include as part of the strategy a massive voter registration drive. We want to go to every state with the message. We plan to campaign full time, every day, every week until Election Day. We envision mobilizing the membership, to get out and work in teams as we visit each location. We want to challenge the locals to campaign hard, with the goal of reaching as many people with the message as possible.
We want to encourage the locals to maintain the momentum realized during the campaign beyond Election Day.
The campaign will be one of audacity and drama. We want to really make a difference, and campaign as if we are planning to win the election. The Committee to Elect Geoff Braasch President is now forming. We need as much help as we can get. We need people to research, plan engagements, assist with statement writing, assist with media work, and above all, we need the input of everyone.
This campaign will have nothing to do with Geoff Braasch. It will have everything to do with reaching as many people as possible with the message of transforming society through Democratic Socialism.
In Peace, Solidarity, and Struggle,
E. Geoffrey Braasch (Geoff)
