Socialist Party
John Q. Brisben, the Socialist Party's 1976 vice-presidential candidate, was nominated as the party's premier candidate this election year. He graduated from the University of Oklahoma and taught history and social studies in an inner-city Chicago high school for 31 years. He retired in 1990. He is on the ballot in four states.
He began his campaign by spending three days in a jail cell in Orlando, Fla., where he was arrested for taking part in a disabled rights demonstration. But that's nothing new. Brisben has been jailed repeatedly for his involvement in civil rights, anti-Vietnam and labor union demonstrations. In 1975, he lost his bid for mayor of

✓ place a high, progressive tax on the wealthy and on corporations;
✓ call for universal nuclear disarmament;
✓ replace corporate farms with farm-
centered, organic food production
Take Back America
His press release urges, "Don't accept mediocrity! Don't accept vague promises! Vote for what you want, not for the lesser of two evils!"
John Yiamouyainn, 49, is the son of uneducated Greek and German immigrants. He has a doctorate in biochemistry from the University of Rhode Island and is the president of the Safe Water Foundation. He is a consumer advocate, lives in Delaware, Ohio, and is on four state ballots.
- $\surd$ print enough currency to pay the national debt;*
As president he would:
√ require all medical school graduates to work for a national health service for 20 years before issuing medi-
cal degrees in exchange for a free education;
abolish federal income taxes.
√ outlaw the sale of American land to foreigners;
"Winning the presidency is impossible," Tiamoyiannis said. "I'll consider it a victory if I can take one state. If one person lights 10 candles, and each of those lights 10 candles, we can light up the whole world."
Workers' League
Helen Halyard, 41, is calling for the working people of the world to unite.
She is on two state ballots.
She is the assistant national secretary of the Workers' League and has led campaigns against auto plant and school closings and budget cuts in her hometown of Detroit.

√reduce the work week to 30 hours
with no navaut:
$ \checkmark $ make higher education free
"We say that the working class must not pay for the bankruptcy of the capitalist system," an Oct. 9, 1992, edition of the newspaper's *Bulletin*, stated. "Jobs, decent housing, health care and education for all can and must be secured through the nationalization of basic industry and the banks under the democratic control of the working class."
American Partv
Robert Smith, the American Party's presidential hopeful, is a retired Salt Lake City businessman who has spent his career in the defense and aerospace industries.
He was a candidate for U.S. representative in Utah in 1990 and U.S. senator in 1988 but lost both elections. He on Utah's ballot.
His plan is to decrease the involvement of government in the lives of Americans. He would shift what was already held by the federal level and give it to the states.
Smith would:
√allow states to outlaw homosexual behavior, obsessive, pornography or drug use
✓ punish crimes of treason and violence by the death penalty, make criminals work to pay for imprisonment or their victims, outlaw plea bargaining.
- willolish taxes by eliminating the Federal Reserve, the Internal Revenue System, Departments of Education and Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency.
$ \surd $refuse trade with and call for the ousting of communist and socialist nations;
repeal Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday
"Mr. Smith's solution is to demand that the government cease its deliberate harassment and domination of the people — just plain, leave them alone — and the masses will soar to untold heights of progress, industry and accomplishments," a press release said.
"Honest" Jim Boren has what it takes to take what you have. He uses humor to get the people who don't vote to vote. He is on the Arkansas ballot.
Apathy Party
According the Federal Elections Commission, Boren's target constituency is a huge and potentially influential group. Only 50 percent of registered U.S. voters actually exercised voting rights in 2018 election. In 1984, 53 percent voted.
Honest Jim is a humorist and a professor of political science at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Okla. He has a doctorate in political science.
Boren would:
Boren wrote:
✓ sell half of our stockpiled military weapons — on a cash-in-advance basis — to Iraq's Hussein, Libya's Qaddafi, and any other terrorist with cash, then assign delivery to the Postmaster General, "and it would never be delivered";
√move the White House to Tahlequah. Okla;
$\checkmark$ bury all toxic waste in the hometowns of the members of Congress who voted for the programs that developed the waste.
"I'm playing the role of the pompous politician to get people involved in the process," he said. "I've run into a few people who are actually proud that they've never voted. That's shocking."
Isabelle Masters is the granddaughter of an emancipated slave and a third-time presidential candidate. In the 1984 and '88 elections, she conducted write-in campaigns, but this year she's official; her name will appear on the Arkansas ballot.
Looking Back Group
She is a former school teacher and said she paid for each of her six children's college educations with her marginal paychecks. She went back to college as a senior citizen and earned a doctorate in interdisciplinary and secondary education from California State University in Los Angeles. She lives in Oklahoma City.
She would:
*punish minority discrimination with a six-month mandatory jail term;*
*reform and expand the welfare system;*
√ call for cooperation among
churches and churches to

"we the past few years," she said. "Our

"Knowledge is the only thing that will pull us out of the dark." Wright said. "We've got to come back to common sense and understanding what it means, how to use it and how to find it."
Attempts to reach the other eight candidates were unsuccessful. Earl Dodge of the Prohibition party, James "Bo" Gritz of America First (Kansas write-in candidate) and Gloria Estella La Riva of the Worker's World party all failed to follow up on promises to send information.
Ron Daniels of the Campaign for a New Tomorrow, did not respond to numerous messages. The remaining candidates: Drew Bradford and Delbert Ehlers, Independents, Eugene Hem, third-party nominee, Jack Herer of the Grassroots Party and unaffiliated Jerry Carroll (Kansas write-in candidate) were not listed in the cities in which they claimed to live, nor were their parties.
