REP. HENRY WAXMAN INVOLVED IN CODE PINK'S AID TO THE 'OTHER SIDE' IN FALLUJAH
Sunday, January 2, 2005 | Kristinn

Posted on 01/02/2005 6:06:46 PM PST by kristinn

Democratic Rep. Henry Waxman (California) is reported to have given a letter to antiwar activists to facilitate their delivery of aid to the 'other side' in Fallujah, Iraq.

The leftist online publication Peace and Resistance, in an article published January 1, said that Rep. Waxman had written a letter addressed to the American ambassador in Amman, Jordan to help ease transit through Customs of $600,000 worth of medical supplies and cash collected by the anti-American groups Code Pink and Global Exchange. According to the groups' leader, Medea Benjamin, the aid is destined for the "other side" in Fallujah.

The letter was being carried by Fernando Suarez Del Solar, an antiwar activist whose Marine son, 20-year-old Jesus A Suarez del Solar Novaro, was killed in Iraq on March 27, 2003 when he reportedly stepped on an American cluster bomb fragment.

Mr. Suarez is being accompanied on the trip by fellow parents of soldiers killed in Iraq, as well as several family members of those killed in the September 11 terrorist attacks.

One Iraqi, when informed that parents of American soldiers killed while liberating his country were giving aid to the "other side" in Fallujah, asked, "what kind of people would help those killing their own sons and daughters?"

That's a question the House Ethics Committee should be asking Rep. Waxman.

Thank you Henry Waxman. You've set leftists back ten years.

Not sure about your assessment. Ksrry should have been tried, convicted and shot for being a traitor. That never happened.

Actually for the House and Senate it is not Impeach, remove but just expel. Each house, acting alone, deals with its own undesirables. Leave the subsequent steps the same.

60 years ago, Waxman would be one of those Jewish Judas Goats leading his fellow Jews unsuspecting into the "delousing chambers" day after day.

It is simpley amazing how evil the democrat party and the hideous rodent-like Waxman are.

Waxman = al Queda comrade in arms

here is some interesting info:

NOVEMBER 23, 1998 The enemy within © 1998 WorldNetDaily.com

The petty whining sniping which was demonstrated by liberal demoncrats left many shaking their heads. The chronic cry of "partisanship" emanating from Democrats reminded one of "the pot calling the kettle black." It was fascinating to note that whereas the majority seemed to focus on the facts and evidence offered by Judge Kenneth Starr, and unapologetic praise for the special prosecutor ... the minority vacillated between petulant, and just plain rude.

Reasonable people can reasonably disagree. However, I never did hear the democrats, or their two lawyers, ever challenge the facts in evidence. If, as everyone claims, the objective is "fairness," or at least the illusion of objectivity, why the strident shrillness?

Perhaps one of the answers is that 58 Democrats in Congress are members of a policy group that is working with, and being promoted by the Democratic Socialists of America, the domestic branch of the Socialist International Party.

I checked out the web site of the Democratic Socialists and learned, "DSA is working with the Congressional Progressive Caucus, a network of more than 50 progressive members of the U.S. House of Representatives." Apparently they are working to affect a political agenda which includes (among a gaggle of gagging stuff) "economic redistribution" and "social and environmental justice." ... Arguably for anyone and anything OTHER than a democratic president who lies under oath, obstructs justice, and abuses power.

Now you may say, "So what?" Dems have tried to socialize everything from schools to food for ages ... this is no doubt a mere left-wing fringe element in counterpoint to the right-wing extreme. Not hardly. According to the Democratic Socialists, the caucus they are heavily promoting includes among its membership significant liberal movers and shakers:

Congressman John Conyers, ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee
Congressman Henry Waxman, ranking member of the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee
Congressman Lane Evans, top Democrat on the House Veterans Affairs Committee

The Conservative News Service attempted to contact Conyers, Waxman and others but was unsuccessful. When they called the staff office of the caucus, the phone was answered by an aide to Congressman Bernard Sanders. Sanders is a self-proclaimed socialist and is listed as the chairman of the executive committee of the caucus. Slowly now, and read this twice ... an avowedly socialist congressional caucus is operating out of a congressional office which is staffed by a congressional aide and paid for with your tax dollars. Yes folks, YOU are paying for the rope with which it is intended you be hanged.

Before you start dredging up pejorative adjectives to describe my paranoia, read the words from the Internet web site of the 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 (also in Francais and Espanol). DSA's members are building progressive movements for social change while establishing an openly socialist presence in American communities and politics. ..." Please note the phrase "openly socialist presence in American communities AND politics." They go on to write: "We invite you to support the campaign by adding your name to the list of signers of the Pledge for Economic Justice. In conjunction with the Campaign DSA is working with the Congressional Progressive Caucus, a network of more than 50 progressive members of the U.S. House of Representatives. ...

"The Progressive Caucus of the U.S. House of Representatives is made up of 58 members of the House. The Caucus works to advance economic and social justice through sponsoring legislation that reflects its purpose. The Caucus also works with a coalition of organizations, called the Progressive Challenge, to bring new life to the progressive voice in U.S. politics."... and it is assumed, to undermine, abrogate and destroy the Constitution of the United States to which those 58 congressional members have sworn a sacred oath.

Who are these socialist co-conspirators? You'll recognize many of them as the "usual suspects" as purveyors of petulance. Bernard Sanders from Vermont is the chairman, and Maxine Waters of California is on the Executive Committee. I'll include the full list at the end, but this should be a wake up call for all Americans, and all who still cherish freedom and liberty.

Socialism comes in a wide variety of flavors ... all bad. Communism has jokingly been called "socialism in a hurry." Mussolini tried out fascism, a variation on the same theme. The Nationalist Socialist Workers Party was the Nazism effort. Now John Conyers, Barney Frank, Maxine Waters and their co-conspirators rabid to defend the indefensible are working to introduce and legitimize an American abomination ... The Democratic Socialists of America.

I remember that once upon a time, you couldn't get in the military (in some cases, couldn't get a job) if you were a member of certain subversive organizations. Today however, membership in the right subversive group could qualify you for Congress and a leadership role.

Here is the list (provided by The Democratic Socialists of America) of Socialists in Congress. You are strongly encouraged to call, fax, email, and raise hell ... while you are still allowed to do so.

Impeach, remove, arrest, and prosecute!

We already tried that with Clinton. Did we gain any traction? No. The pr!ck completed both terms.

That might be a good idea - make a call too.

I think you are right that the Tsunami efforts will be first and foremost for the time being.

If this makes some play I would be surprised. One can only hope.

I agree 100%. BTW, you can use the "B" word, since it is in the English dictionary, and the Brits use it all the time; since we all used to speak English.

He used to be a great Reagan and GHWB beater on the talk shows. I remember while GHWB was president, Noriega (president pineapple puss of panama) was being held pre trial in FL, and hearing AD on the talk shows talking about how GHWB would not ever let him go to court because it would reveal the evil secret relationship he had with the US. Really burned my butt. About a year later Pineapple Puss was convicted in open court and is still in jail. Never heard a retraction from AD. He used to do stuff like that. I think this is a case where is religion actually helps him, realize that the times have changed.

Breitweiser????

I agree...this has that "Jersey-Girl" STENCH all over it!

If not (not-so)Breitweiser, or that other demonRAT shill that gets face-time, it'll be some of the back-benchers!

Any way, we need to know (after all, Dan Blather has TOLD me that Americans have a right to know) who they are, who's funding them, and welcome them all home with BIG warrants for arrest for Treason and Sedition!

Also need to serve Nostrilitis...preferrably while the C-Span cameras are running as the new Congress gets underway!
