Spring Hill, Florida - In the maze of political signs you see along the roadways these days, one you're unlikely to find is "Brian Moore for President." They are few and far between.

The cluttered office of Moore's Spring Hill home is headquarters for his presidential run. The long-time civic activist is the candidate for the Socialist Party USA. "We can offer a viable alternative," says Moore.

And this candidate truly is all about change. Moore's platform is radical: end the war and nationalize industries like energy, healthcare and banking. During a radio interview, this is how Moore describes the nation's current economic system: "Capitalism is based on the profit motive and money and greed."

With a budget that can barely buy buttons, Moore often spreads the word one on one. Still, his name is on the ballot in eight states, including Florida. And even without a win, Moore finds value in giving voters a choice.

"It allows them to vote their principals and not compromise them and hold their nose and vote for the lesser of two evils," says Moore.

After the election, Moore says he'll trade in his political signs and once again take up his anti-war ones. His garage has scads of them. He's coordinated local peace protests for years. Calling for change just seems to be part of Moore's makeup.
