I have previously posted about Barack Obama's involvement in the socialist led Illinois New Party here, here and here.

Below are scans from New Party News Spring 1996.

They prove that Barack Obama was a member of the Illinois New Party and was endorsed by them in his 1996 Illinois State Senate race.

Note that the text refers to Barack Obama as a New Party member, while Willie Delgado is only "NP endorsed"

The New Party clearly drew a distinction. Obama was on on the wrong side of the dividing line.

Page 2 closeup-scanned from the original.


The New Party was the creation of the quasi-Marxist Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and the radical community organisation ACORN. The Communist Party splinter group Committees of Correspondence (CoC) was also involved.

I quote from Chicago DSA's New Ground of September/October 1995

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...Although ACORN and SEIU Local 880 were the harbingers of the NP there was a strong presence of CoC and DSA (15% DSA)... Four political candidates were "there" seeking NP support."

Here is part of an undated New Party document probably from 1995. Scanned from a photocopy.


It lists approximately one hundred"community leaders, organizers, unionists, retirees, scholars, artists, parents, students, doctors, writers and other activists who are building the NP."

Those listed include;

Elaine Bernard-A Labour academic and prominent DSA member.

Noam Chomsky-Linguist and activist, member of both DSA and CoC.

Barbara Ehrenreich-Author, activist and DSA leader. Early this year Ehrenreich was one of the four founders of Progressives for Obama

Bill Fletcher-Former Maoist, a labour activist and leading DSA member. Early this year Fletcher was one of the four founders of Progressives for Obama

Maude Hurd-Longtime ACORN president. Awarded for her work by Boston DSA. ACORN is heavily involved in the Obama campaign.

Manning Marable-A founder of DSA and a leader of CoC. Regarded as a driving force within the New Party. Now an Obama supporter.

Frances Fox Piven-A senior DSA member. Regarded as the brains behind ACORN. Piven is now an endorser of the Progressives for Obama website.

Raphael Pizzaro-New York labour activist and former CPUSA member. An official of both CoC and DSA.

Gloria Steinem-Author and senior DSA member An Obama supporter and volunteer.

Cornel West-Academic and prominent DSA member. West now serves as an advisor to the Obama campaign.

Quentin Young-Chicago doctor, prominent DSA member. Quentin Young is a neighbour, friend and supporter of Barack Obama. he attended the famous 1995 meeting in the home of Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn where Barack Obama was introduced by Alice Palmer as the chosen successor to her Illinois State Senate seat.

Carl Davidson, former Chicago CoC National Committee member, New Party activist, associate of Barack Obama and friend of Bill Ayers, now serves as Progressives for Obama webmaster.

The originals of these documents are held in the Washington DC area. I personally viewed them when I visited Washington in May 2008.

If any journalist, media organisation or publisher would like to view the original documents they may email Trevor Loudon, to be considered-address is on the side bar under New Zeal Research Associates.

I urge my US readers to forward this post to any journalist you consider may have the courage or ability to use them to good effect.

Bloggers-feel free to copy the images posted above.

Not only was Obama a Marxist in 1996 he’s still a Marxist.

How can this not get noticed? " October 1996 Update : Running to Win : The Key Races New Party members are busy knocking on doors, hammering down lawn signs, and phoning voters to support NP candidates this fall. Here are some of our key races: Arkansas: The Little Rock New Party has a full slate of candidates up for election in November. LRNP steering committee member Michael Booker is running unopposed for re-election to the Arkansas State House. Two NP members - Paul Kelly and Genevieve Stewart - are running for at-large (city-wide) city council positions. And in a head-to-head battle between the New Party and the conservative right, NP member Jayne Cia faces the Arkansas state chair of Empower America (Jack Kemp and Bill Bennett's organization) for a Justice of the Peace (county board) position. Illinois: Three NP-members won Democratic primaries last Spring and face off against Republican opponents on election day: Danny Davis (U.S. House), Barack Obama (State Senate) and Patricia Martin (Cook County Judiciary).

we have to keep sending this out to ALL media and asking why they are not reporting this as this is big news compared to a rumour of Todd Palin being in a succession party years ago

one is FACT the other is a rumour and yet the media feels the rumour should be reported for nearly two weeks and this FACT is not being reported at all

just keep bombarding the media

I agree, we’ll keep bumping it. THIS NEEDS TO GET OUT!!!!

[ikeonic]

I blogged about this back on Oct 9 and first read about it on Newsbusters

So yes... please get Rush, Hannity, Savage, somebody to start talking about this.

Put the pieces together: Obama's membership in the New Party, his 20 year attendance at Rev. Wright's church and the things Ayers has said as recently in Caracas in 2006 about education and socialism (remember Obama worked with Ayers on education issues!) are damning, very damning... but if no one knows but a bunch of bloggers and Freepers, it won't matter. Voters need to know.

By the way, the Ayers 2006 speech in Caracas is from Ayers' own unrepentant blog. Read for yourself here.

[lonevoice]

Two guesses whether any media outlet reports on this story (which in fact has been available for several months), and the first guess doesn’t count.

[sappy]

who cares? GOP spent $150k on wardrobe for Sarah Palin. These are the issues Americans want to talk about. Plus, I’m up by 50pts everywhere (see MSM polls that show me up 50pts everywhere. ignore the ones where it’s close) and already constructing my victory party set.

We need a list of questions that Palin or someone must ask Obama or that the right insist be asked of Obama. Focus with top 5 but that maybe with some talking points for the campaign to use that is an easy read and accessible to the speakers on the trail. Like talking points. Other than calling all the radio stations I don’t know what else can be done at this late date.

[Columbo]

Brit Hume ran a small piece on it, and the B-cast did a show...that and a few articles are all I’ve seen.

Bookmark. Nice work finding this.

[petercooper]

The media will yawn.

[publiusF27]

Not surprising, considering the other colorful actors and organizations in his past.

[Safrguns]

Most people dont even know what the “new party” is.
I didn’t hear about it until just a few weeks ago here on FR.
Legit yes... important? of course!... maximum effective range?... zero.

If the McCain camp came out blazing with this, most undecided voters along with swingable democrats would probably see it as a ploy.

Who’s fault? MSM.

Want this as a story??????

Someone float a false rumor that McCain was briefly a member at some point in his career.

[fhayek]

That's not important. What is really important is that Sarah Palin’s native American husband once attended an Alaska Separatist Party meeting. Get your priorities straight! (yes, this is heavily laden with sarcasm)
