Chairperson Frank Llewellyn (National Director)

There is no Senate leader or House leader 'now'

Maxine Waters was the Executive Secretary back then. At about the same time the DSA consgressional list was removed publically from the DSA website, up pops this:
Look at this list from what they are NOW known as, Congressional Progressive Caucus:

The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) was established in 1991 by five members of the United States House of Representatives: Representatives Ron Dellums (D-CA), Lane Evans (D-IL), Peter DeFazio (D-OR), Maxine Waters (D-CA), and Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Then-Representative Bernie Sanders was the convener and first. The founding members were concerned about the economic hardship imposed by the deepening recession, and the growing inequality brought about by the "timidity of the Democratic Party response at the time".

Additional House representatives joined soon, including Major Owens (D-NY), Nydia Velazquez (D-NY), David Bonior (D-MI), Bob Filner (D-CA), Barney Frank (D-MA), Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), Jim McDermott (D-WA), Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Patsy Mink (D-HI), George Miller (D-CA), Pete Stark (D-CA), John Olver (D-MA), Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), and Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

House members
Map showing districts represented by House members of the CPC, excluding the Virgin Islands.

All members are members of the Democratic Party or caucus with the Democratic Party. There are currently 82 total declared Progressives including 79 voting Representatives, 2 non-voting Delegates, and 1 Senator.

See complete list here:
The Congressional Progressive Caucus Ideology

According to its website, the CPC advocates "universal access to affordable, high quality healthcare," fair trade agreements, living wage laws, the right of all workers to organize into labor unions and engage in collective bargaining, the abolition of significant portions of the USA PATRIOT Act, the legalization of same-sex marriage, strict campaign finance reform laws, a complete pullout from the war in Iraq, a crackdown on corporate welfare and influence, an increase in income tax rates on the wealthy, tax cuts for the poor, and an increase in welfare spending by the federal government.

I think you might want to contact the folks @ WorldNetDaily anout this. If I remember correctly, they were the ones who “outed” the House Progressive Caucus (about 6 yrs ago, maybe???), & shortly after their story was told on WND, the DSA nade some major changes to their website. I hope that will help you.

Bump for tomorrow. ;-)

I hope Obamacare is dead, but let’s not get our guard down. Obama/Pelosi, et al are very devious. We need to keep calling our reps, and write letters to editors, and make it clear we don’t want this.

[onyx]

PLACEMARK.
Thanks, Piper!

[Neil E. Wright]

BUMP for later reading ... thanks JustPiper

[freekitty]

Thank you. What about the stimulous bill? Doesn’t it have some of the things proposed in the health care bill and the cap and trade.

We should expect our newly elected reps to reverse and kill this.

[Hardastarboard]

I read the Wikipedia article part way through, skimmed the rest, and even though I saw some pretty good descriptions of the different strains of Communism, the one thing I didn’t see was how many eggs they broke to make a sh!t omelet. No mention whatsoever of the mass murders committed in the name of economic equality and trying to move the proletariat to paradise. But then, again, it’s Wikipedia.

The new Demonrat mantra! Woof, woof, let granny eat dog food...spoof on 'let them eat cake'. obama's war on seniors See the links in post 43-46 and on the last page.

Expanding support for families balancing work with caring for elderly relatives with a $102.5 million Caregiver Initiative adding $52.5 million in funding to Department of Health and Human Services caregiver support programs that provide temporary respite care, counseling, training, and referrals to critical services. The administration says the extra funding will allow nearly 200,000 additional caregivers to be served and 3 million more hours of respite care to be provided. It also adds $50 million to programs that provide transportation help, adult day care, and in-home services, such as aides to help seniors bathe and cook, help which eases the burden for family members and helps seniors stay in their homes.

Wrong link. Here is the correct one.

It isn't dead and will not be until the ring leaders are out of power.

There's a nice little tool called The Wayback Machine. It scrapes most of the Web sites and archives what they looked like at a point in time.

Here's the timeline for DSA. Just click on a date link and it will give you an interactive view of the site on that date. Enjoy!

America’s Mein Kampf
 
Most of the citizens of America do not comprehend what is happening to their country. The changes we see in America did not happen overnight. We hear people remark over and over “It wasn’t like this when I was a kid!”, “What is happening to my countery?”.
Today you can see that the Socialists are repeating the same strategy on Iraq they used on the Vietnam war, “Make the people think we are loosing the war, it is costing too much, etc.”. If the people of America would open their eyes they would see there are Socialists ALL AROUND THEM! The Democrats don’t deny they are Socialists, they just don’t talk about it too much. The Democratic Party was taken over by the Socialists subversives many years ago. Zell Miller said it best: “There are strangers living in my basement…” Those strangers took over the Democrat Party!!
The old “Frog in a pan of water” comparison fits very well to what is taking place. Our principals, our morality and our Constitution are under assault and half of the citizens of our country do not see it. Some of these “45 goals” being achieved are:
Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press
Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history
Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
“What is happening to my country” started over forty years ago. The changes to be made were charted out and documented in the: Communist Goals (1963). The many groups of Socialist front groups have achieved most of the items listed in the “Communists Goals”.
            They are working with other socialist countries and for the UN. The goal is to damage the United States of America with every opportunity either real or made up. We must make the people see who the Socialists are and what they want to do to America.
Does anyone remember the phrase/term “Parliamentary Pirates” from the “1950s? The communists used every obscure rule and by law to take over union meetings and then the unions themselves. This is still happening today. The majority controlled by a minority.
We have to quit calling them “Progressive, Liberal, Left Wing, Democrats, “Rinos” etc”. They are SOCIALISTS DAMN IT!!!!  Yes, “THEY” have been busy for YEARS! This is a perfect example of incrementalism, “Social or political gradualism”.
History tells us how this started. The Mc Carthy hearings were stopped before they were complete. The many “seeds” (read CELLS) were left to grow and multiply. Ronald Reagan and Walt Disney both testified at these hearings: 
http://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/6458/
Mr. REAGAN: “Well, sir . . . 99 percent of us are pretty well aware of what is going on…  ….with their usual tactics, trying to run a majority of an organization with a well organized minority”.
Mr. DISNEY: “In my opinion they are Communists. No one has any way of proving those things.”
The young radicals of the 60’s were financed supported and directed by foreign communists/socialists. They have become college professors, teachers, lawyers, politicians, clergy, news and entertainment media and the business world elite. They are “educating” and recruiting our young for their replacements.
They have gotten environmental and regulatory control (NGO’s) over most businesses, resources of water, forests, oil, farming, ranching and mining in order to eliminate their profits and shut them down.
They are in the process of bankrupting the people and government with lawsuits, social programs, financing the UN and foreign countries, environmental programs and out-right GIVING money to socialist front (ACLU) groups which attack us.
They are eliminating our jobs as much as they can with the above methods and with foreign treaties and international laws.
If the people of America would open their eyes they would see there are Socialists ALL AROUND THEM! The Democrats don’t deny they are Socialists, they just don’t talk about it too much.
Dean: Socialist victory equals win for Dems         “The media, Gov. Dean, and the Democratic Party at large may not find it objectionable that Dean endorsed the current-day equivalent of the Kremlin to run for the U.S. Senate.”
Democratic Socialists of America’s Progressive Caucus of the U.S. House of Representatives
Taken verbatim from the Internet web site of the Democratic Socialists of America
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the largest socialist organization in the United States, and the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International. DSA’s members are building progressive movements for social change while establishing an openly socialist presence in American communities and politics.
What is Democratic Socialism?
Question: Aren’t you a party that’s in competition with the Democratic Party for votes and support?
No, we are not a separate party. Like our friends and allies in the feminist, labor, civil rights, religious, and community organizing movements, many of us have been active in the Democratic Party. We work with those movements to strengthen the party’s leftwing, represented by the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

Today you can see that the Socialists are repeating the same strategy they used on the Vietnam war. They are attempting to remove our support for our troops in Iraq, “Make the people think we are loosing the war, it is costing too much, etc.”.

We must make the American people see who the Socialists are and what they want to do to America. Does anyone remember the phrase/term “Parliamentary Pirates” from the “1950s? The communists used every obscure rule and by law to take over union meetings and eventually the unions themselves. This is still happening today, “The majority controlled by a minority”.
We have to quit calling them “Progressive, Liberal, Left Wing, Democrats, Special interest groups, etc”. They are SOCIALISTS DAMN IT!!!!  They want to destoy America. Yes, “THEY” have been busy for YEARS! This is a perfect example of incrementalism, “Social or political gradualism”.
