updated information for
the 111th Congress
Socialism in America is alive, well, and growing. Aided by such influential Congressmen as John Conyers, Ranking Member of the House Judicial Committee, David Bonior, the pit-bull-dog who successfully whipped Newt, Maxine Waters, the President's outspoken defender in the impeachment debates, and nearly 60 other Representatives, socialism is advancing in America behind the "Progressive" label. Here are a few excerpts taken directly from the web page of the Democratic Socialists of America. (Italicized emphasis provided) . . .
Here is what "Liberty" looks like to a socialist . . .
The action agenda posted on the socialists' web site very closely parallels Agenda 21, and the recommendations of the President's Council on Sustainable Development. The web site boasts the creation of the "Progressive Caucus" in Congress, as well as the coalition that is working to promote the socialist agenda in Congress. |

This particular coalition consists
of social organizations that work hand-in-hand with other coalitions
such as BIONET, CITNET, ECONET, PEACENET, the Climate Action Network
(CAN), and others. All are connected through IGC-APC (Institute for
Global Communications, and the Association of Progressive
Communications). Virtually all of these organizations, including the
Democratic Socialists of America, have web sites hosted by IGC-APC.
The policy gains that have been made in recent years on both the international and domestic fronts are largely the result of the communications capability of these organizations. Freedom.org was conceived more than five years ago to provide similar communications capability to organizations that are not socialists. The Property Rights Congress will be pioneering that new capability. Non-socialist organizations are far behind, and have much catching-up to do. |
