In 1982, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Socialist Workers Party is entitled to an exemption from reporting its campaign contributors, because the evidence showed that persons identified with the SWP were likely to be harassed. The Federal Election Commission has been exempting the SWP ever since. However, the FEC always sets a time limit at which the exemption expires. It is about to expire. The party has again asked for an extention. See this article in The Militant, the party’s weekly newspaper.
Other parties that have got similar exemptions have been the Communist, Freedom Socialist, and Socialist Alternate Parties. However, none of them has had any candidates for partisan office in many years.
When did the Donkeys totally absorb the SWP socialist platform ???
1932 or later ???
They should be subject to the same rules as everyone else.
The Socialist Workers Party is insignificant.Partys that have small contributions should be exempted.They should have another federal law suit.Socailist workers party supporters were harassed in the 60s and 70s.By the FBI and faced discrimination by employers.
Now there hero Fidel Castro is dead.They should change there strategy and support armed rebellion.And stop running Candidates.Also organize labor marches.
