Communists plan Obama/Democrat resurgence in November mid – terms
Excerpts from a special report to the recent 29th National Convention of the Communist Party USA, by Joelle Fishman. Joelle Fishman role in the Communist Party’s Political Action Commission, which gives her responsibility for organizing Party support for “progressive” Democratic Party candidates at the state, congressional, senate and presidential level. She is also, incidentally, the daughter – in – law of late Soviet spy, Victor Perlo
Fishman acknowledges that the Communist Party supportedBarack Obama in 2008 – though certainly not for the first time.
The 2010 elections are at the center of the struggle for working class relief from economic crisis, poverty, inequality and environmental devastation. Why?Because this election will either solidify the progressive breakthrough of 2008, or send the country reeling backward. Barack Obama’s election as president was a victory won by an amazing broad alliance of which we were a part. Our contribution focused on building unity, challenging racism and expanding voter participation.
She then quotes party chairman Sam Webb and goes on to stress the pivotal nature of the 2010 mid – term elections.
