Analogizing to the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Justice Party Calls for the United States Government to Achieve a Peaceful
Resolution of the Present Conflict by Recognizing the Legitimate Security Interests of the Russian People and Removing Security Threats Near Russia’s Borders
Salt Lake City, Utah February 17, 2022—The Justice Party has issued an urgent call upon the U.S. government and its NATO allies to expressly recognize the legitimate security concerns of the Russian people and to build a more peaceful relationship with Russia by providing assurances that nearby Ukraine will not become a member of NATO and that U.S. missiles will be removed from Poland, which also borders Russia.
In 1962, the USSR secretly placed missiles in Cuba. That posed obvious significant security concerns for the United States, not unlike the present situation facing Russia. The United States came perilously close to going to war over the presence of the missiles, with several military leaders calling for immediate bombardment of Cuba. Fortunately, negotiations between the nations’ leaders led to the removal of the missiles from Cuba and the later removal of U.S. missiles from Turkey.
According to Rocky Anderson, Executive Director of the Justice Party, “Now is the time for statesmanship, not accusations and threats. If we are to achieve a more peaceful world, we must be able to understand the concerns of others and take rational actions that will avert war.”
Anderson stressed the need to urgently engage in peacemaking negotiations: “We now have an opportunity to negotiate a reduction of nuclear weapons and to provide greater security for people throughout the world. The United States cannot ignore the obvious security concerns of Russia posed by U.S. missiles located near its borders or the threat of bordering Ukraine becoming a member of the NATO military alliance. We all understand how concerned our government and the people of the United States would be if Russian missiles were being installed in Mexico or Canada. We should likewise understand the security concerns of the Russian government and the people of that nation.”
According to the Justice Party, “the United States can no longer ignore the legitimate security concerns of Russia as the U.S. fails to engage in vigorous, reasonable, and effective diplomatic efforts to reach a resolution of the present conflict. A failure to reach a peaceful resolution would constitute a momentous failure of diplomacy, with potentially catastrophic results.”
“Just as the USSR recognized the security concerns of the U.S. and negotiated the removal of its missiles from Cuba in 1962, so too should the U.S. recognize the legitimate security concerns of Russia and negotiate a removal of missiles near Russia’s borders and provide assurances that Ukraine will not be a member of the NATO military alliance,” stated Anderson.

"Justice Party's Name Virtually Copied by White Supremacist, Antisemitic Bigots Calling Themselves the "National Justice Party""
January 4, 2022, Justice Party press release www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/justice-partys-name-virtually-copied-by-white-supremacist-antisemitic-bigots-calling-themselves-the-national-justice-party-301453571.html |

Justice Party’s Name Virtually Copied By White Supremacist, Antisemitic Bigots Calling Themselves the “National Justice Party”
Salt Lake City, Utah January 4, 2022 — Since August 2020,[1] a group of racist, antisemitic white supremacists has purported to operate under the name, “National Justice Party” (NJP).[2] The NJP essentially copied the name of the Justice Party, which was created in 2011[3] and stands for values, goals, and ideas diametrically opposite of those espoused by the NJP.[4]
The Justice Party became a national political party after nominating Ross C. “Rocky” Anderson, former two-term mayor of Salt Lake City, as its presidential nominee in January 2012 for the 2012 election.
Anderson and his vice-presidential running mate, Luis Rodriguez, ran a vigorous campaign, appearing as the Justice Party nominees on numerous national television programs, in local, national, and international newspaper and magazine articles, and on popular radio programs and podcasts. One who searches online for the term “Justice Party” or “Justice Party US” will find dozens, if not hundreds, of links to materials, articles, and programs regarding the Justice Party. The Justice Party has continuously had at least one Facebook page and dozens of Twitter accounts (including accounts for many states) for over ten years.
The Justice Party has made clear to the public––continuously from the time of its founding until today (as is easily discerned from a quick online search)––that its focus is on ridding our government of the corrupting influence of money and achieving social, economic, and environmental justice. Included in that focus is the need to end systemic racism in the United States and to provide equal rights and dignity to all, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, religion (or lack thereof), or sexual orientation.
Rocky Anderson, Executive Director of the Justice Party, expressed dismay with the NJP’s dirty tactics and its disgraceful bigotry: “The racist, antisemitic group of bigots comprising the NJP are apparently seeking to mislead the public with their knock-off of the Justice Party’s name, or they are simply not imaginative enough to come up with their own name. Their tactic of lifting the Justice Party’s name, as unethical as it is, pales in comparison with their hateful racism and antisemitism. For them to use the Justice Party’s name is as dishonest and disgraceful as if the Ku Klux Klan used the name of the NAACP.”
