 [No title]
Established on January 23, 1967, the Peace and Freedom Party (PFP) describes its founders as "people who wanted to vote for something they could support." According to PFP, this ruled out candidates of both major parties and required the organization to support a party that was more radical.
PFP also calls for an "end [to] discrimination based on race, sex, age, sexual orientation, or disability." It follows up this demand by imploring the government to "restore affirmative action" (i.e., racial, ethnic, and gender preferences) as a means of "enforc[ing] non-discrimination in hiring and promotion."
Peltier's opponent in the PFP presidential primary that year was convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu Jamal.

 The Collegian: Third- Party Politics
There are a variety of political parties to choose from, ranging from extreme right-wing to radical left-wing and everywhere in between.
For instance, one speaker for the party does not believe in abortion “for medical, emotional, and spiritual reasons,” but does not feel that he can force his party and this nation to share his moral beliefs.
That may be why the party feels it needs a clever marketing strategy to draw in supporters- the 2004 nominee for president chose an adult film star as his running mate in order to “close the publicity gap.” (http://www.politics1.com/personalchoice04.htm)
