On July 26, Diane Sare, LaRouche independent candidate for U.S. Senate from New York, gave a half-hour interview to Nassau Community College (NCC) Radio, Long Island radio station, 90.3 FM WHPC.
Bill McIntyre, NCC alumnus and professional radio host, asked Sare: Why LaRouche? Sare responded: “I actually got really interested in working with LaRouche when I saw he was going to go to jail, because somehow with my Quaker upbringing I just thought, ‘If you’re fighting injustice, you’re probably going to get in trouble.’ So, when I saw this I said, ‘you know what? I’m going to work with these people.’ That’s why LaRouche.”
They began by discussing Sare’s candidacy and the fact that she was able to get on the ballot despite the great bureaucratic hurdles that independent candidates face in New York State. Additionally, a further political disadvantage is not being hugely rich! However, Sare explained, “My advantage, frankly, was my association with Lyndon LaRouche over the course of 30 years. He had a major national organization.”
Sare contrasted the obscene wealth and power of New York’s elected officials with the ordinary residents of the town of Rome, New York, which had just been torn apart by a tornado. Upon hearing of that emergency, she and her campaign team left the Hudson Valley, where she resides, and drove to the devastated area to speak with the residents. She noticed that the area damaged by the tornado includes those who rent their apartments, and who will have difficulty bearing the costs of losing everything in the county’s most powerful tornado in 30 years.
McIntyre then asked Sare about the “LaRouche Party” line on the November election official ballot. That discussion allowed Sare to elevate the conversation from the petty bureaucracy of New York elections to the major, meaningful ideas of national sovereignty, of economic development, fusion energy, and of the potential to render nuclear weapons obsolete. It was exactly these powerful ideas which led to the political persecution of Lyndon LaRouche.
Sare and McIntyre concluded with a discussion of the attempted assassinations of Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico and of former U.S. President Donald Trump, and the war in Ukraine. Sare made clear the absolutely urgent need for new, sound political leadership to steer the country out of the crisis abyss.
