Freedom Party Candidates - Roman Jimenex, Charles Barron, Eva Doyle
New York, NY - Sparked by a situation of being racially marginalized, suffering from unparalleled high unemployment, incarceration, homelessness and poor access to quality health care services in New York State...reminiscent of the south in the 1960s, a dynamic slate of experienced candidates, for the new Freedom Party, yesterday confirmed that they are campaigning for New York State Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General at the historic Siloam Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn, NY. As a well respected City Councilman since 2001, Chares Barron is running for governor, Buffalo's highly awarded educator/historian Eva Doyle for Lt. Governor and the Harvard educated attorney and former Administrative Judge, Ramon Jimenez is the candidate for Attorney General - November 2, 2010 elections. The Freedom Party has set-up offices at the cultural center Sistas' Place, located at 456 Nostrand Avenue (corner of Jefferson), Brooklyn.
"Who is going to raise the issue of Wall Street being taxed... Who is going to raise the problem of gentrification?" asserted Ramon Jimenez while addressing the audience. "We are going to make history this November 2nd not only by gathering the signatures we need across New York State, but by making the Freedom Party...the peoples party. The party that's not afraid to challenge the organs of power in this state." said NYC Councilman Charles Barron, of Brooklyn's 42 district. Councilman Barron has served as a champion for higher education and the development of affordable housing. Although it was a hot Summer afternoon, spirited chants of "we will win" could be heard bursting out of the church into the Bedford Stuyvesant community air.
The uniquely all volunteer managed Freedom Party officials clearly explained that the purpose of forming this new political body is to create a state-wide vehicle through which the average poor/working persons problems and/or concerns can be organized into a powerful collective voice. Alton Maddox informed the gathering that he was in support and was setting up an up-state New York office for residents to come by and pick-up election petitions. To satisfy city Board of Election signature requirements, the motivated audience at the Church was divided into a few work groups based on their city borough of residence.
