Web Archives Confirm Barack Obama Was Member Of Socialist 'New Party' In 1996
PDOP ^ | 10/08/2008 | Jarid Brown

Posted on 10/08/2008 6:32:23 AM PDT by Jabrown

After allegations surfaced in early summer over the 'New Party's' endorsement of Obama, the Obama campaign along with the remnants of the New Party and Democratic Socialists of America claimed that Obama was never a member of either organization. The DSA and 'New Party' then systematically attempted to cover up any ties between Obama and the Socialist Organizations. However, it now appears that Barack Obama was indeed a certified and acknowledged member of the DSA's New Party.

Yes, excellent work by all here.

I think we’re on to something :) Just need to connect all the dots. So far we’ve got Obama as a confirmed New Party member who may have had to sign some sort of contrat with ‘em. he also was tied closely to the DSA socialists, receiving mutliple endorsements and speaking as a panel member at their forums.

here’s something else:

This links ACORN explicitly with the New Party :)

This link here indicates that Obama was present at one of the New Party meetings in 1995. Just search “Barack Obama.”

Chicago New Party Update by Bruce Bentley

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.

Different Fund-Raisers for Two Different Worlds April 9, 1998
By Richard Roeper

EXCERPT

In the West Lake View neighborhood of Chicago, community organizations played host to a $ 20-per-person fund-raiser at the Music Box Theatre, 3733 N. Southport. The guest of honor: Maverick filmmaker Michael Moore, in town to screen his new film “The Big One,” and to raise a basketful of money for the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless, ACORN and the New Party—scrappy organizations designed to help the “little person” stand taller.

Yes. Good stuff!

This is all coming together nicely. All this stuff makes Obama’s associations with Ayers and Odinga make perfect sense. We can’t let “that one” any where near our executive branch!

“New Party member Barack Obama was uncontested for a State Senate seat from Chicago.”

I’m not trying to be unhelpful, but isn’t there a chance that the person who did this little writeup was mistaken about membership as opposed to endorsement?

I’m starting to think you’re right. The indoctrination that began at least with the New Deal if not before, and came into its own in the Sixties, is starting to pay. Americans no longer believe in sacrifice and the priority of freedom, they just want the state to take care of everything so they can listen to their ipods and watch reality TV. Our forefathers, to these people, are just figures in a book, not living breathing humans who wanted also to just live their lives and be with their families, but were willing to give them up for their country and its freedom. An abundance of prosperity has unfortunately weakened us, it seems. We didn’t have the character for it.

Missed the ping....thanks.

**********************EXCERPT ************************

On Tuesday, I discovered a web page that had been scrubbed from the New Party's website. The web page which was published in October 1996, was an internet newsletter update on that years congressional races. Although the web page was deleted from the New Party's website, the non-profit Internet Archive Organization had archived the page.

From the October 1996 Update of the DSA 'New Party':
"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...

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)."

Genoa, check out the other links we’ve found. There are multiple sources which diminish the chance that this was a typo.

Also, its bad enough that as a New Party endorsed candidate, Obama would have had to sign a contract with them.

This last name caught my eye because Moore's son, Sowande Ajumoke Omokunde, aged 26, was arrested in connection with the November 2, 2004, (election day), tire-slashing of Republican party vehicles in Milwaukee; he was charged with a felony in connection with the event on January 24, 2005, but agreed, on January 20, 2006, to plead no contest in exchange for a sentencing recommendation of restitution and probation.

I gather you must have seen posts #97 and #90. This is the same picture with the same number of pixels and size. What exactly do you want me to know?
