PIGASUS

Campaign for U.S. President In 1968, Pigasus was nominated for the U.S. presidency by the Youth International Party (Yippies).[9] The pig's name was a play on the name Pegasus, the winged horse in Greek mythology. Selected for the campaign by group members Dennis Dalrymple, Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin, candidate Pigasus was purchased from a farmer by folk-singer and fellow Yippie Phil Ochs.[10] His candidacy was announced during the massive protests leading up to and during the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.[5] The Yippies demanded that Pigasus be treated as a legitimate candidate, with U.S. Secret Service protection and White House foreign policy briefings.[11] One reason why the Yippies preferred Pigasus was that "if we can't have him in the White House, we can have him for breakfast."

SDS developed from the Student League for Industrial Democracy (SLID), the youth branch of a socialist educational organization known as the League for Industrial Democracy (LID).

The Port Huron Statement was adopted at the organization's first convention in 1962 based on an earlier draft by staff member Tom Hayden.

The Port Huron Statement[4] decried what it described as "disturbing paradoxes": that the world's "wealthiest and strongest country" should "tolerate anarchy as a major principle of international conduct"; that it should allow "the declaration 'all men are created equal...'" to ring "hollow before the facts of Negro life"; that, even as technology creates "new forms of social organization", it should continue to impose "meaningless work and idleness"; and with two-thirds of mankind undernourished that its "upper classes" should "revel amidst superfluous abundance".
