Thank you, Calpernia.
Crimes they were never held accountable for...Instead, in the case of the Soviet Bloc, the Communists simply relabled themselves "ex"-Communists and continued leading as if Communism never collapsed. Now thats justice!!!
It will all tie togather, in a neat package.
Communists support the muslim terrorists, the terrorist causes a few incidents.
We line up and accept the new "Homeland Security" and all it involves, while the communists officials we have elected are laughing all the way to the bank.

You will note that the above website is paid for with your tax dollars...........
This is the list for the members of the Progressive Party, that Americans have listed to office.
There is another list, with 53 elected officials on it, but
haven't got to it as yet.
Progressive Party is but one on the names for the communist party, they say in papers that I have found, that a new name
was needed, as the communist title had become tainted.

Party Builder #4
Author: National Organizing Department
First published: 04/17/2003 12:20 by {article_topic_desc}
We need a bigger Communist Party USA
The following is a summary of the plans for our upcoming drive to win new members to the Communist Party. The
drive, which kicks off May 1, includes increasing the circulation of the People's Weekly World and raising money for the
Party's fund drive. These are all interrelated and one builds on the others.
We Communists have to be deeply involved in the struggle for peace, in the huge spontaneous growth of the peace
movement, in the many rapidly expanding coalitions. This is the meaning today of building a united people's front
against the ultraright.
This will set the stage for the 2004 elections, a struggle to wrest control of the presidency and both houses of
Congress away from the Republican ultraright.
But we can't lose our party in the mass movements, no matter how important they are. We have to build the Party,
build our independent base, and recruit. This is necessary so that we can speak to many more people in our own
name, build unity between coalitions and movements, and step up our fight for socialism, for the future, in the
movements of today.
Most Communist parties in major capitalist countries, and even many in the developing world, are similarly engaged in
this rebuilding process.
We need to recognize that quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes; we can't just work a little harder and
expect huge breakthroughs all at once. We have to start with realizable goals and then build on them.
Party building means . . .
Party building means asking people to join. It means setting and meeting recruiting goals. But it also means increasing
subscriptions and distribution of the People's Weekly World (PWW).
It means building the group of activists around us who work with the Party. It means planning educational work to
support the drive and consolidate the new members.
Our goal is more new members, but we're not only interested in increasing our numbers. We want to build the Party
among workers, trade unionists, people of color, youth and women, activists and leaders.
We must recognize that each club and district is different, in size, history, experience, makeup. Therefore, decisions
must grow out of clubs and districts setting their own priorities.
We propose to offer a menu of choices, a list of possible ways to participate in the recruiting drive. Each club can then
pick from those possibilities the two or three tasks that will be realistic and also move it to a higher level of recruiting
and outreach work.
Each potential new member is different and they join for their own reasons, not for our reasons. We want people to
join in order to share our work, but they may join because they need help in strategizing in the work they are already
doing.
We want people to join who are committed communists, but they may join before they have a clear idea of what a
communist does. We want people to join in order to increase our size so we can have a bigger impact in our mass
work, but they may join in order to find out what Marxism has to teach them.
Some people are ready to join as a radical form of protest against the Bush administration and the multinational
corporations. We want to encourage all people ready to be active to join, whatever their previous level of political
activity or organizational experience.
We have to learn to pay attention to how to move people closer, how to bring more people around the Party, and
how to translate the political capital we have built up into a larger Party.
We need to engender a Party-building spirit in our work - we are not just hard workers for the mass movements, we
are also revolutionaries building the party of socialism.
A big part of this is increasing the circulation of the PWW. That is why the circulation drive of the PWW is running
concurrently with our recruiting drive.
Our club lists of potential recruits are also lists of people who should be getting the PWW, and winning them to
subscribe is a big step on their path to membership.
Distributing the PWW and getting subscriptions are essential aspects of Party building.
Fundraising, asking others for financial contributions for the work of the Party, is another crucial aspect of enlisting
those we work with to help guarantee that the Party thrives. We can't function, we can't grow, without increasing the
amount of money we raise.
While many Party members are extremely generous with donations from their own pockets, raising money from those
we work with builds our base, gets people to commit to supporting our work and to working more closely with us and
identifying with our program.
Personal visits, letters, requesting advance gifts and bequests, selling buttons, bumper stickers and T-shirts, all lay
the basis for expanding our work. Political Affairs (PA) and the YCL are also having building drives at the same time. PA
has a goal of 1,000 new subs (they already have 200!) and the YCL has a goal of 250 new members.
We want to have widespread discussion of what it means to be a communist today, what the Party has to offer that is
unique, what things we do better than other organizations, what special contributions we make to the trade union
movement, the civil rights movement, the peace movement, and many others.
Part of our goal is to produce and distribute to districts materials which will help after the drive, materials that we
should start to have on hand everywhere all the time - brochures, items for sale (T-shirts, mugs, caps, buttons,
bumper stickers, posters, etc. - not to have all of this immediately, but to start building up our inventory of such
materials), videos, new members classes and discussions.
These are some aspects of building a culture of recruiting.
The Party-building drive committee will soon issue a plan, complete with a calendar of events and a menu of options
for clubs and districts.
Included will be a document to stimulate discussion, experimentation and initiative in all bodies of the Party. Our clubs
and districts vary widely in size, composition, history and in the challenges they face.
Each collective of the Party needs to pick from the menu of options those that best fit their circumstances, that are
realistic and have the potential to advance our struggle to build our working class revolutionary party to a higher level.
1. Schedule a discussion in your club, district or other collective about the drive, your goals and potential.
2. Develop a list of friends and contacts who can be asked to subscribe to the PWW or PA, asked to contribute
financially to the work of the Party, and asked to join.
3. Set a realiztice numerical goal and let us know what it is.
4. Schedule an event about the Party's approach to the struggle for peace, with a national or district speaker.
This drive has to help us build our clubs in neighborhoods and workplaces. We need to grow, but we also need to
focus our growth in our clubs' concentrations.
Revitalizing clubs and focusing our work on specific concentration areas must be part of our long-term strategy for
reaching specific groups of workers, building recognition of our consistent struggle for defeating the ultraright, and
developing an independent base of supporters and friends for each club.
We also ask commissions to make any additional suggestions or proposals to this menu that can help recruit workers
and the nationally oppressed.

What's new on PWW website?
Over the past few months many changes have taken place on the PWW website. Online viewers can now subscribe,
via pay pal with a credit card, and order "No War for Oil" bumper stickers, also, via pay pal.
Two new features have been added to the left-and sidebar of the website. The first is a navigation feature - the
"Sections" category. The “Sections" category breaks the weekly paper down into five subsections - International,
National, Labor, Peace and Analysis - making navigation easier for our viewers who are specifically interested in those
topics.
The second is an interactive feature - the "Headlines" category. This category enables viewers to submit their email
address, enabling us to contact them about updates and changes to the website.
The PWW website has also continued to make available PDF versions of the lead stories each week. The website can
now be reached by typing either www.pww.org or www.peoplesweeklyworld.org into your web browser.

National conference to examine health care issue
We will be hosting a national party conference on "The Crisis in Health Care and the Fightback" at our center May
17-18 in New York City.
In order for the conference to be effective in moving the Party into action we need the full participation of all districts.
We will be calling each district to discuss with you conference preparations, your ideas, and who should be attending
from you district.
While, of course, we want to put emphasis on health-care activists and professionals, we also want to guarantee the
participation of district leaders and trade unionists.
Comrades already involved in health-care fights, from seniors fighting for prescription drug benefits, to industrial
workers and their families whose health-care plans are being torn up, to activists fighting for comprehensive, universal
health care, will all bring especially valuable experience to the conference.
In addition we also want to think about close friends and coalition partners that we would like to invite. Hopefully, the
conference can help us build new relations and consolidate old ones.
We urge as many districts as possible to put the conference on your district board agendas as soon as possible so we
can get the best possible mobilization.
See you in New York,
Scott Marshall,
CPUSA Labor Commission secretary
