Hey you! Pirate there! Are you better off now than you were four years ago? Have laws like the Patriot Act made it harder for you to smuggle your plundered booty into your lavish treasure trove island hideaways? The man trying to freeze your assets? Or are you just having trouble finding buccaneer crews that are hiring in this harsh economic environment? Here's some information you need to know, things the government and corporate media don't want you to know:

• The average pirate captain is being forced to outsource much of his looting and pillaging to third world countries because they can't afford the high premiums HMO's charge for scurvy treatments.
• Discrimination against pirates entering or re-entering the workforce is higher than ever as those in power continue to marginalize, profile, and hang pirates while most scalawags yearn only for a peaceful life of crime on the high seas.
• Taxes on pirate necessities, such as rum, are high than ever before, and some pirates can't even afford such basics as hooks and wooden legs, like Captain Jibidy here (right).
• Finally, there is a group that can help! Welcome to:

• Civic engagement for all groups. (Even skeletons!)
• Affordable health care for both employers and individuals.
• An end to capital punishment.
• Repeal on extra taxes on liquor.
• Reduced tax burdens on ship owners.

Who we are:

• A united group of pirates and pirate supporters, ready and willing to fight for the rights of buccaneers across the country.
• A untapped voting bloc with enormous potential power
