Rocky - He Fights for Us.

Will you support one of the dominant party
candidates because he is the “lesser of two evils”
– or make a positive choice for change?


Aspire for More.

If you like how things are going, vote Republican or Democrat.
Your vote for Rocky will send the message that you demand change.

Instead of being the “lesser of two evils,” Obama is the more effective “evil”.
Because Obama is a member of their party, Democrats have not fought for universal health care and against the continuing wars and human rights violations.

Where will you draw the line?
— At illegal, immoral, devastating wars?
— At caving in to the insurance and pharmaceutical industries, Wall Street, polluting corporations, and the military-industrial complex?
— At disregarding the rule of law?
— At authorizing indefinite detention – up to one’s lifetime – without charges, trial, legal assistance, or habeas corpus?

Will you fall into line behind the financial elite and civil and human rights abusers? Or will you take a principled stand for peace, the rule of law, protections of human rights, climate protection, and fairness to the middle class?

To end the corrupting influence of money – to end the imperial presidency – to end the civil and human rights violations – to end the disregard for the rule of law – and to end the catering to Wall Street and polluters:

Stand up proudly and support Rocky, who has a solid record of achieving real change.
