I found this on the bottom of an email that was sent to me by the AFLCIO...I heard on Rush Limbaugh 2/10/2010 that it was a communist group. Have any of you heard anything more about this group? An article I read on the Heritage Foundation website stated that the communist party has endorsed the NEA and AFLCIO.

Is this the same group that Bertha Lewis just resigned from?

Thanks for the links. This was interesting. see below.

“Elect a Community Organizer!For the first time, America has a community organizer in the White House. What if we put a whole slate of community organizers in City Hall? That’s what the Working Families Party is fighting to accomplish this year.”

Thanks. interesting that the goal is to put community organizers throughout the country besides the White House.

From their web site:

"The Working Families Party (WFP) is New York’s liveliest and most progressive political party. Formed by a grassroots coalition of community organizations, neighborhood activists, and labor unions, we came together build a society that works for all of us, not just the wealthy and well-connected.

We fight to hold politicians accountable on the issues working- and middle-class families care about, like good jobs, fair taxes, good schools, reliable public transportation, affordable housing, and universal healthcare."

Does anyone need to know anything more?

Currently composed of some 30,000 members, the Working Families Party (WFP) is a front group for ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). WFP functions as a political party in New York State and Connecticut, promoting ACORN-friendly candidates. Unlike conventional political parties, WFP charges its members dues — about $60 per year — a policy characteristic of ACORN and its affiliates.

According to the party’s website, WFP is a coalition founded jointly by ACORN, the Communications Workers of America, and the United Automobile Workers. However, ACORN clearly dominates the coalition. New York ACORN leader Steven Kest was the moving force in forming the party, and WFP headquarters are located at the same address as ACORN’s national office, at 88 Third Avenue in Brooklyn, New York.
