32 percent of New Yorkers already say they will vote for
an "unnamer antiwar candidate," as opposed to 38 percent for
Hillary Clinton. That was the finding of a Zogby poll of likely
New York State voters released on May 30. The poll found another
20 percent were "not sure" and only 10 percent were for "someone
else," who for most of those voters would be the Republican
candidate.
Howie Hawkins is that antiwar candidate who will be on the
ballot in November. We can give Clinton a run for her corporate
money if we give Howie the resources he needs to reach those
antiwar voters. We can shake the political basis for the war
to its foundations, in New York and across the country, with
a massive antiwar vote for Howie Hawkins.
Clinton is raising tens of millions of collars. An April study
by the Center for Responsive Politics found that last year
Hillary Clinton received the most campaign contributions from
the Wall St. investment banks, stock brokerages, and hedge
funds of any politician in the country. Right-wing media mogul,
Rupert Murdoch, owner of Fox News, Daily News, Village Voice,
etc., is hosting a fundraiser for Clinton.
But if lots of regular folks give something to the Hawkins
campaign, we can
make this a real race.
