President-elect Barack Obama's choice to head the Labor Department has close ties to U.S. communist and socialist organizations and has sent representatives to functions organized by national parties for both ideologies.
The pick of Rep. Hilda L. Solis, D-Calif., a Congressional Hispanic Caucus leader considered to be one of the most reliably pro-union voices in the House, was hailed as a victory by communist and socialist leaders......
An article this past weekend in the Communist Party USA's People's Weekly World Newspaper welcomed Solis and quoted known socialist leaders calling her a "great choice" and an "outstanding" selection with "a life-long commitment to working people."
Among other personalities, the Communist paper quoted former Rep. David Bonior, D-Mich., a top economic adviser to Obama, calling Solis a "terrific leader who I know first-hand will work tirelessly on behalf of America's working families."
WND previously reported Bonior is listed as a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, or DSA, an organization dedicated to transforming America into a socialist society. He was a frontrunner for the labor secretary post, but endorsed Solis after dropping out of the race.
Greg Sargent, a writer for the radical left-leaning Talking Points Memo blog quoted Andy Stern, president of the Service Employees International Union, stating the person who best knows Solis is Vice Chair of the DSA Harold Meyerson.

Wow! What a surprise!
This illegal immigrant has had communist ties going back to the womb...
Shocked are you? LOL
what obama pick doesn’t?
5 million americans rally at the capitol, July 4th 2009-the communists are coming! the communists are coming! consider this Paul Reveres ride!
Spread the word, and plan on being there. I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.
What would scandalize his administration is if he had capitalist ties.
Obama has communist ties!
Details, please.
All these picks have sympathy with the dictatorship of the proletariat, so long as they are in “charge” and are not the proletariat themselves.
details are building, we have started the discussion on here today, earlier post.
This is One Bill You Can’t Afford to Ignore is the post. I am not too skilled when it comes to linking- sorry
Trying to build a grassroots movement much as the draft dodgers and hippies built one for vietnam protest on the mall. We figured if they could do it, so could we. Trying to gauge interest in the truest of the conservative bastion FR, and see where it goes......
That gives me enough time to plan. I would like to make a pilgrimage to the Capital for that protest.
Illegal immigrant loving communist. Par for the course for Obama.
Downright communistic.....
Thanks. I’ll stay up on it. Sounds good. It’s about time we turn their tactics back on them.
Well, that thought did cross my mind.
