Sept 15, 2009...
With 100 percent of the vote counted, unofficial results showed that Mr. Liu had captured 38 percent of the vote, just short of the 40 percent he needed to win outright. Mr. Yassky took 30 percent, and Councilwoman Melinda R. Katz of Queens finished third, with 20 percent. David I. Weprin, a councilman from Queens, was fourth.
The results set up a contest between two men who, over the course of the campaign, projected sharply different images to voters. Mr. Liu, a former actuary and an immigrant from Taiwan, struck a populist tone, from his home neighborhood of Flushing to Chinatown, where voters embraced him as a trailblazer, and Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, where several black leaders endorsed him.
Mr. Liu, who ran with the backing of several major labor unions, would become the first Asian American elected citywide if he prevails in a runoff on Sept. 29.
At a rally on Tuesday night, Mr. Liu said, “This campaign has been about making history, but it has also been about putting New York City back on track.”

New York City Candidates Linked to Chinese, North Korean Regimes

NEW YORK—At a rally on the steps of City Hall last week, New York residents expressed concern that two New York City political candidates—John Liu and John Choe—have connections with communist regimes.
John Liu has been a city council member representing New York’s Flushing area since 2001. This year, he is running for city Comptroller—the position that oversees the city’s finances, including its $60 billion budget.
Spokesman for the Christian Democracy Party of China, David Lu, says John Liu appears to be cultivating a relationship with the Chinese consulate.

China's United Front and John Liu's Connections
By Charlotte Cuthbertson
Epoch Times Staff
NEW YORK—As residents in New York gear up for the local elections, an unseen force may be hard at work.
City Comptroller candidate John Liu has a friendly relationship with Chinese Communist Party (CCP) organizations and former Canadian diplomat Brian McAdam says New Yorkers should be concerned.
“Wherever there is a Chinese community, the [Chinese Communist Party] CCP is going to try and infiltrate, if they haven't done so already,” McAdam said.
City Councilman John Liu is vying for the New York City comptroller job, with the primary elections on Sept. 15..."

Much to the chagrin of candidates like Mr. Gioia, the still relatively little-known 10-year-old party [Working Families Party] had dispatched a small army in the weeks before the primary, selling voters on its candidates in the mayoral, City Council, public advocate and comptroller races.
Organizers knocked on 227,928 doors and talked to 62,112 voters, a party official said. On Tuesday, more than 350 workers were stationed throughout the city, most working for a day rate of $100.
Their efforts resulted in the party’s best electoral showing yet. In the public advocate’s race, the Working Families endorsed Bill de Blasio, a city councilman from Brooklyn. Coming from behind, he forced Mark Green into a runoff on Sept. 29, even though Mr. Green was the presumed front-runner based on pre-election polls and had already held the position.
In the comptroller’s race, the [Working Families Party] party backed John C. Liu, a councilman from Queens, who won 38 percent of the vote..."

PROFILE: WORKING FAMILIES PARTY
* Front group for ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now)
* Functions as a political party in New York State and Connecticut, running or cross-endorsing candidates for local, state, and federal office
An outgrowth of the socialist New Party, [Working Families Party] WFP was created in 1998. According to a 2000 article by the Associated Press, its objective was (and still is) to "help push the Democratic Party toward the left." In pursuit of this goal, WFP runs radical candidates in state and local elections. Generally, WFP candidates conceal their extremism beneath a veneer of populist rhetoric, promoting bread-and-butter issues designed to appeal to union workers and other blue-collar voters, Republican and Democrat alike.

PROFILE: NEW PARTY (NP)
* Marxist political coalition
* Was active from 1992-1998
* Endorsed Barack Obama for Illinois state senate seat in 1996
Co-founded in 1992 by Daniel Cantor (a former staffer for Jesse Jackson's 1988 presidential campaign) and Joel Rogers (a sociology and law professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison), the New Party was a Marxist political coalition whose objective was to endorse and elect leftist public officials -- most often Democrats. The New Party's short-term objective was to move the Democratic Party leftward, thereby setting the stage for the eventual rise of new Marxist third party.
Most New Party members hailed from the Democratic Socialists of America and the militant organization ACORN. The party's Chicago chapter also included a large contingent from the Committees of Correspondence, a Marxist coalition of former Maoists, Trotskyists, and Communist Party USA members.
The New Party's modus operandi included the political strategy of "electoral fusion," where it would nominate, for various political offices, candidates from other parties (usually Democrats), thereby enabling each of those candidates to occupy more than one ballot line in the voting booth. By so doing, the New Party often was able to influence candidates' platforms. (Fusion of this type is permitted in seven states -- Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Mississippi, New York, South Carolina, and Vermont -- but is common only in New York.)
Though Illinois was not one of the states that permitted electoral fusion, in 1995 Barack Obama nonetheless sought the New Party's endorsement for his 1996 state senate run. He was successful in obtaining that endorsement, and he used a number of New Party volunteers as campaign workers.
In 1996, three of the four candidates endorsed by the New Party won their electoral primaries. The three victors included Barack Obama (in the 13th State Senate District), Danny Davis (in the 7th Congressional District), and Patricia Martin, who won the race for Judge in the 7th Subcircuit Court. All four candidates attended an April 11, 1996 New Party membership meeting to express their gratitude for the party's support.
The New Party's various chapters similarly helped to elect dozens of other political candidates in a host of American cities.
One of the more notable New Party members was Carl Davidson, a Chicago-based Marxist who became a political supporter of Barack Obama in the mid-1990s.
In 1997 the New Party's influence declined precipitously after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that electoral fusion was not protected by the First Amendment's freedom of association clause. By 1998 the party was essentially defunct. Daniel Canto and other key party members went on to establish a new organization with similar ideals, the Working Families Party of New York.

That's "ex"-Black Panther Charles Barron standing beside John Liu. Yet another democrat communist from New York...
Charles Barron: "My immediate response is 'take off the ex,' because I’m still a Panther at heart. And I’m proud to be a Panther because the Black Panther Party fed children breakfast. It had a clothing drive for struggling people in our communities. It led the research drive around sickle cell anemia, a rare blood disease peculiar to black people. As far as the guns and the actions with the police, that wasn’t even a major part of our program. That was for self-defense against police brutality."

From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES
"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo.
Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.
The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."
To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

Who is Bertha Lewis? Who is on her ROLODEX?
Why should anyone care?
She is the CEO of ACORN
& Co-Chair of the “Working Families Party”.
ACORN is a corporation, so they can’t do anything political themselves.
What they do……is “help” establish political parties other than the Democratic Party, run people on that ballot, i.e. the Working Families Party, & they also run on the Democratic ballot….it’s a clear signal to people that, hey, this is the ACORN candidate; we should vote for him.
This is how Barack Obama won his election to the state Senate in Illinois. He ran as a “New Party” representative and a Democrat. New Party is ACORN’s political party in Chicago.
NEW PARTY - http://www.chicagodsa.org/ngarchive/ng47.html#anchor781435 & http://www.chicagodsa.org/ngarchive/ng47.html
Sunday, 09/20/2009, George Stephanopoulos was told by President Barack Obama, “Frankly it’s not something I followed closely on this ACORN deal. I didn’t even know that ACORN was getting a whole lot of federal money.”
People directly associated with Bertha Lewis:
Patrick Gaspard
• Used to be the executive vice president of the SEIU.
• Now Barack Obama’s political director.
• Performs the job Karl Rove performed for George Bush.
• He’s also the guy in the news this week that put the horse head in N.Y. Gov. David Paterson’s bed, told him not to run for governor of New York again.
Michael Gaspard (Patrick Gaspard’s brother)
• Worked for the “Advance Group”. The Advance Group is the lobbying arm of ACORN. So you’ve got the president’s political director and his brother in Bertha Lewis’ Rolodex. One works for ACORN, the other one works for the president.
Wade Rathke
• Founder of ACORN
Karine Jean Pierre
• President Obama’s liaison to the Department of Labor
Shaun Donovan
• Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
Scott Levenson
• A registered lobbyist with the Advance Group
• Works with Michael Gaspard, Patrick Gaspard’s brother. Although you would never know that Michael Gaspard works there. He is not on their website, he is not listed in any of their lobbyist filings. It just so happens that he appears in Lewis’ contact list as working there.
Ambassador of Bolivia
• His private contact information
• Morales stated just yesterday (09/23/2009) that capitalism is a real problem. It’s evil.
The political division of the Venezuelan embassy
• Why would ACORN, who’s caring about just housing and taking care of the poor have anything to do with the Venezuelans?
• Ties to CITGO
o CITGO is owned by Venezuela and ACORN was real happy to help undermine some of the previous administration’s positions on foreign oil
o That was just through the Kennedys. That was just a nice, you know, Hugo Chavez came and I think it was Patrick Kennedy that helped them just get heating oil for the poor in New York…but was that all?
o The Eskimos in Alaska got oil too……total coincidence?
QUESTION: Is ACORN actually SEIU?
Paraphrased from notes from several sources and Glenn Beck transcripts.
Thanks. Will bookmark.
Thanks didn't know she was also co-chair of WFP.
Just by coincidence, they happen to share an office on Nevins Street in Brooklyn. The site of the Brooklyn ACORN sting now under criminal investigation by Kings County DA Charles Hynes.
Obama was the candidate of the New Party, the antecedent of WFP when he ran for the Illinois Legislature."-FReeper Cincinna
ACORN is a criminal organization.
This is frightening! At least now the Communists who have been working in the shadows all these years are becoming exposed! I’m ashamed to have been so ignorant all this time that our country is truly being taken over. Thanks for posting.
Leftist politics in general are criminal in nature, since the aim is to basically steal money from one group to give to another.
Thanks for looking.
The people of NY didn’t get much choice in the way of candidates did they? Then again the third person in the race probably was conservative and they all could have voted for that one, but there you go we are talking about NY aren’t we.
WARNING: It is those, in the dark shadows, that never rise above the publication level, that we must all be aware.
When Obama met with ACORN leaders in November, he reminded them of his history with ACORN and his beginnings in Illinois as a Project Vote organizer, a nonprofit focused on voter rights and education. Senator Obama said, "I come out of a grassroots organizing background. That's what I did for three and half years before I went to law school. That's the reason I moved to Chicago was to organize. So this is something that I know personally, the work you do, the importance of it. I've been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.”

I worry that things are happenning so fast, we won’t have time to react. They are not just happenning fast, things are happenning with such frequency, I don’t know which way to turn. The news is coming at us so fast and furious. It makes my head spin. This stuff must have been happenning for the last decade under the radar! They weren’t kidding about “tentacles”.
ACORN in public schroooooool....... Know what your kids are being taught... Private school is best.....
The 3 R’s in the Age of Obama: Rappin’, revolution & radicalism
By now...we all know the left's plan....
I am a firm believer in local organization. Be aware of the national implications, but participate where you can be most effective.
Local community organizers, councilmen & mayoral elections grow into United States Representatives and Senators and Presidents. Beat em at the local ballot box.....and use all the tactics that have been successful for the left...no need to reinvent the wheel....
They are getting very clever though, the last local election we had none of the participants listed their political persuasion. I had to ask what political party they represented. I have had the local republican ladies approach me to join...I have been reluctant, as I am an Independent, but at this point I think it’s most important to get the current government out. What are your thoughts on this? You seem very in tune. What should I do? I feel I have to do something.
