I saw these two posters on a pole on the corner of Rainier Ave. S. and S. Edmunds St. here in Seattle. I'd say that my political affiliation today is basically independent, and generally I'm pretty cynical (have you noticed?) with respect to politics. That's why I found these posters interesting.

I checked the political job Web site, and it looks real.

As for the other one, I'm not sure if names such as "Radical Women" and "Socialism" are going to convert many people to their agenda. But maybe that's not this group's goal. In any case, in spite of its radical name (compared with the average political opinion in the U.S.) , I agree with some of their views, especially "Stop the Criminalization of Immigrants!". But I don't think unionization (supported by the site) in general is good in today's globalized economic world, because a company who has unions is less competitive and will likely end up in bankruptcy (ex.: compare GM vs. Toyota/Honda). I don't think unions are needed in the U.S. today because of improved labor laws, except perhaps for immigrants, who are often taken advantage of because employers can often implicitly or explicitly threaten them with a call to the INS (recently renamed the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services). Secondly, socialism in general is a good idea, but not in the U.S. It works well in many parts of Europe wherever the population is homogeneous in cultural terms. I believe that socialism--i.e., high taxes and high government expenditures to support social programs--will lead to its downfall. Since its inception, the U.S. has been the land of opportunity, the land of the free, the land of ideas, the place to make a new beginning, and the place to become prosperous. Socialism unfortunately cannot coexist with those ideals.
