In 1988 Dr. Fulani was on the
ballot in California, thanks to an in
dependent petitioning drive, as well
as in every otherstate and the District
of Columbia - the first woman and
the first African American woman
ever to achieve that distinction.
�t her celebration Dr. Fulani
called upon all within the party to
unite behind the mandate of the rank
and file.
DR. FUlANI'S VICTORY in
Peace and Freedom parallels exit
polls todfY which indicated that
Ross Perot, the still undeclared inde
pendent presidential candidate,
would have won both the
Democratic and Republican party
primaries had his name been on the
ballot in California.
"The American people acros the
political spectrum are sending a clear
message," Dr. Fulani told a roomful
of slated supporters. "They want to
break up the two-party monopoly
they support independent politics.
I call on my opponents and all
party members to join with me in
eeing to it that today's vote is a step
in the process of making the Peace
and Freedom Party an important and
powerful force in the left wing of thC
independent political movement that
is currently sweeping the nation.
IN 1988 SHE received 36 percent
of the vote in a six-day contest,
though was denied the party's'
presidential nomination by the
party's old guard, which refused to
abide by the popular vote in the non
binding preferential primary.

who have made no ecret of their intent to
discredit the oppo ition. Tshisekedi and Ileo
denied the allegations in interview ,but thus
far, none have publicly defended th mselve .

In the late 1970s, when vaccines reached only
about 10% of the developing world's children,the
intern tional community set the ambitious target
of 80% immunization by the end of 1990. The

United States," says Africare Bxecu
tive Director C. Payne Lucas, "to
join with us and make this the 'best
dinner yet. Africa needs us now
more than ever. Participation in the
1992 dinner is one way we can all
give tangible support to Africa -
and send messages of moral support
and goodwill, too."
DR. LENORA FULANI
Dr. Lenora Fulani, the chairper
son of the New Alliance Party and an
independent candidate for president
of the United State, won the
preferential presidential primary of
California's Peace and Freedom
Party with 50.9 percent of the vote in
a three-way race.
Her vote was well ahead of her
nearest opponent, Ron Daniels, who
received 32.5 percent. The third
candidate, Alison Star Martinez,
garnered 16.7 percent.
"These results corroborate what
the New Alliance Party has' been
saying for over a decade," the
African American independent said'
at her victory party. "Independent
politics has to include people of
color, the gay community, and work
ing people. My victory is a result of
these communities having embraced
the Peace and Freedom Party and
made it their own."
This is the second consecutive
Peace and Freedom Presidential
primary Dr. Fulani has won.
