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.

Here is a summary of ACORN’s ties to the New Party:

Early documents of the New Party spell out their goals to unify the fragmented socialist/progressive left into a third party that would eventually dominate the Democratic Party and set US policy.

“The goal of the NP is to establish a significant progressive presence in American politics — eventually a presence significant enough to determine the policies of the United States.” http://www.nathannewman.org/EDIN/.election/np/bnm.html

“Local progressives, suspected of having a secret political organization known as “The Green Machine,” so-named because most of its supposed members belong to local environmental groups, have often been accused of wanting to take over governmental bodies by conservative Democrats and Republicans. The paranoid fears may soon become reality the NP aims to be the institution that can organize progressives and, well, help them take over.” http://web.archive.org/web/19970513191711/www.jeonet.com/icon/backs/1995/06-01-95/Cover.htm

ACORN and the local SEIUs were key in organizing the various New Party branches and dominated them. The Chicago Democratic Socialists of America pointed this out in their news-letter “New Ground”:

“And ACORN has not had the reputation for being interested in coalition politics- until recently and, happily, not just within the New Party. In Chicago, ACORN has been working with the National Training and Information Center on housing issues, and Equip for Equality in challenging Illinois’ inaction on “Motor Voter” registration. ACORN has also become a major participant in Chicago Jobs with Justice.
But the nature of Chicago ACORN is secondary to the inevitable dynamics of the situation. As the single 800 pound gorilla in the Chicago New Party, it doesn’t leave a lot of room for newcomers to participate except on ACORN’s terms. This will make it difficult for the New Party to have a life apart from ACORN. The element that seems to be present in Milwaukee but absent in Chicago is organized labor.” http://www.chicagodsa.org/ngarchive/ng38.html#anchor1869108

ACORN also dominated the New Party in Little Rock, New Jersey and New York, as well as building up another political group called the Working Families Party. Read the following archived ACORN report which details how ACORN used the New Party and the Working Families Party to spearhead their various housing initiatives.

I agree about the seriousness. But these images have been kicking around for weeks. Crickets.

Here’s an October 8, 2008 blog post about this info:

http://politicallydrunk.blogspot.com/2008/10/web-archives-confirm-barack-obama-was.html

The comments say “send this info to Drudge, McCain, etc” so apparently no one is going to run with this. The article claims that the New Party denied that Obama was a member back in the summer, but that was before this newletter was found. But apparently Obama has got the party leaders saying what he wants him to say- that he wasn’t a member. I expect that’s how he’s covering this up- saying “hey, the leaders say I wasn’t a member, that newletter was just mistaken.”

Obama was voicing clearly Marxist views as recently as his visit a week or so ago to Joe the Plumber’s street.

What is the matter with our media that they could “miss” something as basic and damning as this?

We are the media now - Free Republic, the blogs, Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage, etc etc etc.

WE have to get the story out.

So bump it EVERYWHERE.

[Columbo]

So far the Obama campaign’s respose has been that Obama ran as a Democrat in that campaign.

Of course he did. The New Party was a fusion party that generally ran its candidates as Democrats. Also important is that Obama had to sign a contract with them in order to get their endorsement.

We don't need Drudge or McCain - we need Limbaugh, Hannity, and Savage on this story.

And we also need them on the "John Galt" credit card fraud story:

Now get to work.

The dirt just keeps piling up. Obama’s going to make Bill Clinton look like Mother Theresa.

[tiredoflaundry]

Mark! Check this out! *Obama Ping a ling*

[TomGuy]

The complicit media will just ignore this or make some disconnected reference, such as Reagan being a former Democrat.

These kinds of topics are going nowhere, if the MSM have anything to say about them. They can’t afford, at this stage, to let their golden boy [is that racist now?] be tarnished. They have too much invested in him.

I just sent it to my local conservative talk radio station KVI 570. Kirby Wilber the morning host is pretty good at keeping up with breaking items on FR, and reads e-mails sent him. In the headline I said this may be the story we have been waiting for.

[dalebert]

a large part of the population does not know the meaning of socalism or marxism and an even larger part of the country thinks it means u get to stay home and let someone else support u. the people embrace socialism. they need to see a lot of film bout starving russians and the low standard of living they had.

[MittFan08]

Politico did look into Obama’s 1996 campaign. They posted this answer he provided to a questionaire which says he’s running as a Democrat and admits he was “endorsed” by the New Party:

http://www.politico.com/static/PPM41_obamaquestionaire1newest.html

If you look at that questionaire, it’s really left-wing stuff. No decent politician would even brag about being “endorsed” by the New Party, but I’m sure Obama will use the questionaire as proof that he wasn’t an actual member of the party.

[machogirl]

Why would o’bama be afraid and embarrassed of his relationship and membership with a socialist party? /s
