The DSA, the progressive caucus, and the Black congressional Caucus are one in the same. There are 72 socialist members in the House of Congress. Bernie Sanders, Senator from Vermont started the progressive caucus in the 1990’s.
AIM had confirmed that Obama’s white grandfather, Stanley Dunham, picked Davis because Obama’s black father had abandoned the family and Dunham thought Obama needed a black father-figure. AIM also confirmed that Davis was Obama’s mentor during the critical years 1975-1979.
Harnden claimed in a preceding article that Obama was introduced to Davis in 1970 when he was only nine years old. This would mean that Davis was an influence over Obama for about nine full years, until Obama was 18 and went off to college.
Harnden quotes Dawna Weatherly-Williams, a friend of Davis’s, as saying that Stanley Dunham brought Obama to meet Davis in the autumn of 1970. She “was chatting with him [Davis] that late autumn afternoon as Dunham and Barry [Obama] approached,” Harnden reports.
Harnden also reports that Davis and Dunham smoked marijuana together. Dawna Weatherly-Williams said that “Frank never really did drugs, though he and Stan would smoke pot together,” the paper said. Obama, of course, also admits that he used marijuana and cocaine in his youth.
Citing passages from Obama’s own book, Dreams From My Father, which was published in 1995, Harnden demonstrates how Obama went to “Frank” for advice about racial issues, college, and other matters at critical periods in his life. Clearly, the relationship between them, as concluded by many observers, was strong.
From the Democratic Socialist newsletter:
“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.”

IMPORTANT: Be sure to add your name and town, and when emailing be sure to send “BCC” as a group or just individually so it will look like it went only to them. If they see that it’s also being sent to others they’ll write it off as a mass email, and won’t read it.
Light your torches, grab your pitchforks, and tell the MSM what America is REALLY thinking about. MAKE it the news. Your email account is your weapon, and this is war. So lock and load, and use your electronic Liberty Teeth!
Well okay! Now we may be on to something.
Is that a credible internet link source? It seems anyone can put something up on a Google weblink.

Barak Obama...In 1992, he was Director of Illinois Project Vote, a voter registration campaign that made Carol Moseley Braun's election to the U.S. Senate much easier than it would have been.
PING!
A few days ago, I was telling some Left Coast Liberals about Obama’s Marxist ties and actions.
They totally shocked me when, to a person, they told me it didn’t bother them in the least that he is a Marxist.
I like these guys a lot, and other than this, they seem very level headed and normal.
SIGH.
The problem is, the word “socialist” means nothing to most Americans anymore. It’s almost a euphemism for “European”.
These people know nothing of Marx, Lenin, Stalin or Mao... and they know even less of Gramsci and Alinsky. And moreover, they don’t care to know. They’d rather watch game shows than learn the lessons of history.
The world’s about to get a crash course in what socialism becomes when America isn’t there to restrain it. It won’t be pretty.
