Democratic Socialists of America
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the largest socialist organization in the United States, and the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International. DSA's members are building progressive movements for social change while establishing an openly socialist presence in American communities and politics.
At the root of our socialism is a profound commitment to democracy, as means and end. We are activists committed not only to extending political democracy but to demanding democratic empowerment in the economy, in gender relations, and in culture. Democracy is not simply one of our political values but our means of restructuring society.

This group seems to be behind lots of current problem issues such as WTO, Kyoto Treaty , and want to change everything. Very dangerous. KNOW YOUR ENEMY.

Of course, you are aware of DSA's nebulous connection to 50+ members of the "Progressive Caucuse" of the U.S. House of Representatives? These folk include six key members of the House Judiciary Committee (John Conyers, Jerrold Nadler, Maxine Waters, Bobby Scott, Barney Frank, and Mel Watt), and the #2 Democrat in the House, Nancy Pelosi.
Click on my zeppelin. DSA used to feature this list prominently, and updated it after every election. Now, it's sort of old and buried. DSA and the PC members started getting too much heat during the Clinton impeachment hearings.

These scumbags also have at least fifty members from the Democrats in Congress pushing their twisted ideas.

Monarchy is the Government of One. Socialism is a monarchy of the masses.
To: brityank; Lockbox; Scruffdog; SMEDLEYBUTLER
We know that the intent of this group is to force change from within our government from a constitutional republic to some sort of socialist/facist government. This is called subversion. The fact that they have operatives in Congress-- 50 some odd people did you say?-- shows that they are actively trying to subvert our government.
The people have a legal recourse against subversion. We the people can charge the individuals in congress with subversion, try them and remove them from office and elect representatives who will honor their oath of office. We the people need to find the courage to do these things to save our country. How far lost must we become before we the people use the tools our founding fathers left us to protect our Constitutional Republic?

Democracy is not simply one of our political values but our means of restructuring society. Change this to "Socialism" and I'll believe it. Change it to "Communism" and you might be telling the truth. These guys are commies, plain and simple. All the posing in the world won't banish that stink.

Have any of you ever written your congressmen to ask specifically WHY they belong to this group? If so, I'd be interested in what kind of response you got (or did you just wind up with an IRS audit...LOL!)
I'm in Bobby Scott's district.
To: All;lockbox;EdZep I've really got to update my YADDA page. Note that Cynthia Mckinney is on the "Progressive Caucus" list. I should mention her tretchery in attempting to counter NYC Mayor Giuliani's rejection of the Saudi prince's tainted money. (Here's a little pic I worked up with McKinney at Hanoi Jane's side. So far, I've gotten 2 people asking, "Is that really her?")
And, note that Lynn Woolsey is on the list. She has played a major role in attempting to rip the Boy Scouts of America from the fabric of our country, through initiatives designed to either force the Scouts to accept homosexual leaders and scouts, or be banned from using any form of public facility.

They have no understanding of democracy, and no commitment to it.
Example #1: "Democracy is not simply one of our political values but our means of restructuring society."
OK...Let's vote on some of their issues...all would be defeated. Let's vote on one of "our" issues...i.e. deport all socialists. That wins hands down. Bye Bye Socialists.
Example #2: "...demanding democratic empowerment..."
Just read these 3 words and you can see what they really believe in...and it's not democracy.
Example #3: They take advantage of their brainwashed, government school followers, who do not realize that we live in a republic, not a democracy.
