Democratic Socialists of America Founded the "New Party" Whos Newsletter Claims Obama Was Member
The "New Party" claimed Barack Obama was a card carrying member in a 1996 newsletter found on internet archive.
Via Politically Drunk on Power: In June sources released information that during his campaign for the State Senate in Illinois, Barack Obama was endorsed by an organization known as the Chicago "New Party". The 'New Party' was a political party established by the Democratic Socialists of America (the DSA) to push forth the socialist principles of the DSA by focusing on winnable elections at a local level and spreading the Socialist movement upwards...
..."New Party members and supported candidates won 16 of 23 races, including an at-large race for the Little Rock, Ark., City Council, a seat on the county board for Little Rock and the school board for Prince George's County, Md. Chicago is sending the first New Party member to Congress, as Danny Davis, who ran as a Democrat, won an overwhelming 85% victory. New Party member Barack Obama was uncontested for a State Senate seat from Chicago. "

I don’t know if this is “big” or not, but here’s a ping...
I will not say it is big either. But what is "big" is yet another skeleton that comes out of Obama's closet. No wonder this stuff keeps coming out, his closet is so full everytime the door is opened, something else falls out.
Obama's unknown past is the issue -- not just a specific item.
Thanks for the ping!

Yes, confirmation that Obama would have had to sign a contract with the NP:

Chicago New Party Update
by Bruce Bentley
About 50 activists attended the Chicago New Party membership meeting in July. The purpose of the meeting was to update members on local activities and to hear appeals for NP support from four potential political candidates. The NP is being very active in organization building and politics. There are 300 members in Chicago. In order to build an organizational and financial base the NP is sponsoring house parties. Locally it has been successful both fiscally and in building a grassroots base. Nationwide it has resulted in 1000 people committed to monthly contributions. The NP’s political strategy is to support progressive candidates in elections only if they have a concrete chance to “win”. This has resulted in a winning ratio of 77 of 110 elections. Candidates must be approved via a NP political committee. Once approved, candidates must sign a contract with the NP. The contract mandates that they must have a visible and active relationship with the NP.
The political entourage included Alderman Michael Chandler, William Delgado, chief of staff for State Rep Miguel del Valle, and spokespersons for State Sen. Alice Palmer, Sonya Sanchez, chief of staff for State Sen. Jesse Garcia, who is running for State Rep in Garcia’s District; and Barack Obama, chief of staff for State Sen. Alice Palmer. Obama is running for Palmer’s vacant seat.

It’s about half way through on that link and there is a nice screen shot.
This one is from 2004!!
And that's precisely why I've been saying for months that every conservative, every Republican, every conservative talk show host needs to quit being so PC and stop calling them democrats and start calling them socialists. That's what they espouse, that's what they support, that's what they want, so call them what they are! They aren't Democrats. They aren't Progressives. They aren't liberals. They are SOCIALISTS!
And when anyone tells you that they are voting for Obama, you need to ask them nicely, "When did you become a socialist? Because that's what the candidate is that you are voting for." Maybe then it will make many of the older folks that have always voted Democrat to look inside and search their soul before they vote. Make them stare straight into the face of the stark reality of what/who they are supporting.
He “never heard them say anything that sounded socialist,” right?
Thanks for the Ping. Time for us and Palin to hammer this commie POS
WOW!
Obama's theme song Hope and CHANGE....as the Socialists wish it to change.
