Speech: full text)

"This is a campaign of, for and by the people. We join together in this endeavor for the sake of justice

social justice, environmental justice, and economic justice."

Anderson says a recent poll shows more than 70% of Americans want a new political party.

"We need not settle for governance by the Republican and Democratic parties, which thrive on the corrupt

money machine, nor do we have to confine ourselves to voting for the lesser of two evils, if indeed there

is a lesser evil among the common choices."

The Justice party hopes to appeal to Republicans, Democrats, Independents , non-voters and all people

fed up with the present political system.

"22% of children are now living in poverty in the United States. The skids toward the economic disaster,

including the resulting loss of jobs and skyrocketing poverty, were made possible through the collusion of

Republicans and Democrats.

...We will fight to make certain that in the future, no banks will be too large to fail and that the only thing

we will consider to be too large to fail is the interests of the American people.

...I invite you to embrace this historic opportunity. Lets work together to put an end to the corruption

and favoritism shown the privileged elite. All Americans deserve a fair shake. Together we can reject

the Republican /Democratic duopoly that has brought our nation to its current sad state. I invite you to

support a party and a candidate offering genuine hope for a safer, healthier, more just world."
