Communism, unfortunately, is very much alive, reaching the highest levels of the current US government as this article points out.
One quibble with the the geography in the posted article: Panetta, as a congressman, was based in Northern California, not Southern California. Santa Cruz is just south of San Jose.
Why do I feel like the Clintons are involved?
I am not voting for any Senator that voted for this in 2012.
Thanks for the ping!
