HARTFORD, Conn. — On Aug. 8, volunteers for the campaign to elect Fred
Linck turned in more than 10,900 signatures to the Secretary of State to
secure a ballot line for U.S. Senate in the November elections (7500 are
required to qualify).
Fred Linck is an antiwar Iraq veteran, a climate justice activist with
350 CT, and member of Socialist Action. Linck looks forward to achieving
ballot status to challenge Chris Murphy’s corporate agenda.
Fred Linck says, “Senator Chris Murphy firmly supports the interests of
the corporate elite. That’s why he votes for more war spending than
either Trump or the Pentagon ask for. That’s why he votes against
medicare for all—even though it’s wildly popular. That’s why he won’t
stop taking money from General Dynamics, which profits from separating
families and caging immigrant children.
Aug. 2018 Petitions
Volunteers for the socialist campaign carry a basket of signed petitions
to the Secretary of State’s office.
“I call for stopping all deportations now, the abolition of ICE, a full
amnesty, and the establishment of equal rights for all immigrants.
Working people need to stop allowing the rich to pit us against each
other. I let them do that to me in Iraq and I saw the consequences. I
won’t let them do it again. No more war for big business. End the war on
immigrants.”
An entirely volunteer team has collected signatures in every corner of
Connecticut. Taylor, a campaign volunteer said, “The responses we are
getting from people are incredible. Everywhere we go in Connecticut
people are considering socialist ideas that would provide jobs, housing,
education, and health care for all.”
Fred’s campaign points out that working people create all value in
society and workers should decide what to do with it. To secure jobs,
housing, education and health care, Linck proposes the following: 1) Tax
all annual income over $250,000 at 100%. 2) Bring all troops home now
and end all military spending. 3) Place the largest banks and
corporations under public ownership and the democratic control of
working people and their communities.
