Danny Keating For U.S. Congress In New Hampshire's Second Congressional District (Nashua, Salem, Littleton, etc.)

Fund Jobs and Education, Not War and Wall Street

Danny Keating is a construction worker and Army Veteran raised in Nashua. If elected to Congress, Danny will only take the wage of an average worker in New Hampshire, donating the rest of his salary back to social justice causes. Danny is a member of Socialist Alternative and has worked tirelessly on campaigns for workers' rights and against budget cuts. Danny will bring the voice of the 99%, into a Congress that is dominated by corporations and big money.

Here are Danny's campaign opening remarks:


I, Danny Keating, am running for Congress as an Independent and a member of Socialist Alternative. because the two parties of big business, Democrats and Republicans, have carried out budget cuts, attacks on civil liberties, an assault on women's rights, and ushered in further corporate control in this country. These are all symptoms of a sick system.


Trillions, yes trillions, of dollars have been handed by the federal government to the big banks that kick people out of their homes, dodge their taxes and helped to wreck the economy. Both parties, controlled by big business, are complicit in the corporate domination of politics and our lives.
We need a massive job creation program to hire workers with union wages, benefits and rights to rebuild infrastructure, stop environmental destruction and provide necessary social services. We could pay f or this by closing corporate tax loopholes and increasing taxes on corporations and the top 1% as well as slashing spending on the wars and occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan. If corporations threaten to leave the country due to fair taxation, then we should take those companies' resources into public ownership with democratic workers' control and management, using the resources for the benefit of all.

We can only win a jobs program through mobilizing a massive movement of community groups and unions that protests, educates and builds democratically-run organizations. A mass movement for jobs and services and against racism, sexism, layoffs, home foreclosures and budget cuts should be connected to a political struggle against the two parties and the corporate domination they represent. We need a party of working people, run democratically, with elected representatives who are accountable and only accept the wage of the average worker.

Elected representatives of the two major parties, left to their own devices, don't create change. We saw this after the elections of Obama and the Tea Party. To get real change, we need a big protest movement. This has created change in the past: from the labor movement for unionization and a 40-hour work week, the civil rights movement against racial injustice, the women's movement for equal rights mass demonstrations have shown that direct action can win real victories. Danny Keating, if elected to Congress, will be a voice for these struggles against the capitalist system and for a better future, a democratic socialist society.
