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).

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.
Bump
The non-profit organization most closely associated with the Congressional Progressive Caucus is the American Progressive Caucus Policy Foundation which works to connect the caucus to progressives outside the Congress.
In addition, an array of national liberal organizations work to support the efforts of the progressive caucus, including the Institute for Policy Studies, The Nation magazine, MoveOn.org, National Priorities Project, Jobs with Justice, Peace Action, Americans for Democratic Action, and Progressive Democrats of America. Also co-sponsoring the kickoff event were the NAACP, ACLU, Progressive Majority, League of United Latin American Citizens, Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, National Council of La Raza, Hip Hop Caucus, Human Rights Campaign, Association of Farmworker Opportunity Programs, and the National Hip Hop Political Convention.
Here, I seen many of the avowed members of DSA, are now part of DSA
Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is a democratic socialist organization in the United States and the U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International, a federation of social democratic, democratic socialist and labor parties and organizations.
DSA was formed in 1982 by a merger of the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee (DSOC) and the New American Movement (NAM). DSOC was the largest group to emerge from the splintering of the Socialist Party of America in 1973; two other Socialist Party factions went on to form Social Democrats USA and the Socialist Party USA. NAM was a coalition of writers and intellectuals with roots in both the New Left movements of the 1960s and the more traditional parties of the Old Left.
NOTE:
The DSA gained more attention after Barack Obama announced his presidential campaign in 2008. After learning of his plans to reform American health care, the Right accused Obama of being a socialist. The criticism become more widespread when Sarah Palin and John McCain both accused Obama and his policies of being socialistic during the 2008 presidential election. This led to widespread media attention to American socialist organizations, such as the Socialist Party USA and the DSA. This led to a comment by Frank Llewellyn: "Over the past 12 months, the Democratic Socialists of America has received more media attention than it has over the past 12 years
Democratic Socialists of America Ideology
Michael Harrington, the DSA's founding chairperson, had been a chairman of the League for Industrial Democracy in 1964 and was a former member of the national executive board of the Socialist Party of America from 1960 through 1968. In 1982 Harrington was elected co-chairperson of the DSA. When asked if the brand of socialism Harrington and the DSA promoted resembled the Communist system of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, Harrington said:
"Put it this way. Marx was a democrat with a small d. The Democratic Socialists envision a humane social order based on popular control of resources and production, economic planning [...] and racial equality. I share an immediate program with liberals in this country because the best liberalism leads toward socialism. [...] I want to be on the left wing of the possible."
Harrington made it clear that even if the traditional Marxist vision of a marketless, stateless society was not possible, he did not understand why this needed to "result in the social consequence of some people eating while others starve."[14] The DSA was critically supportive of Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms in the Soviet Union, writing about them in their publication Democratic Left: "The aim of democrats and socialists should be [...] to help the chances of successful reform in the Soviet bloc [...] While supporting liberalization and economic reforms from above, socialists should be particularly active in contacting and encouraging the tender shoots of democracy from below." Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the DSA voiced opposition to the bureaucratically-managed economy of the Soviet Union and its satellite states.
I tried, in vain, to get the Clinton media to listen to me. Nothing, of course, ever came of it.
In light (Not Ellie) of this administration, I felt obligated to compare the Progressives now ruining our country.
Welcome to the Website of the Congressional Progressive Caucus
So when these flaming Socialists 'act' incensed that we call them what they are, Communists, I would like for all to see the trail and connecting these dots is irrefutable!
“...the legalization of same-sex marriage...”
Juan McCain’s wife and daughter and probably McCain are for that. Is he part of the group too? He votes like he is.
Ever hear of “McCain-Feingold?
All to pathetic. We have way too many 'masked'- and unmasked - enemies; domestic and foreign, working within; and ALL with intentions of remaking America in frighteningly un-American images; while using our Constitution and America's most powerful address to do so.
We can measure their success by the incremental advancement of their noxious and toxic MO's; OR, we can just test regularly; America's eyesight/hearing; and corresponding levels of commitment to enemy-enabling, political correctness.
OR. . .perhaps there is just a magnetic meter that can give a seismic reading per America's death wish.

AN index will soon be provided to direct you to the right ObamaFile report (there are 94 right now plus special reports).
There is a lot of information on both organizations and indivdiduals at this website.
Also see www.frontpagemagazine.com, “DiscoverTheNetwork.org” for more information on these groups and individuals.
Lots more goodies coming folks. Soon it’s gonna be showtime.
Here’s a quick rundown on the members of the Congressional Democratic Caucus/Progressive Caucus as mentioned in the first post.
Marxist: Dellums
Communist Party USA -Filner is the son of two identified CPUSA members/organizers
Patsy Mink - something big may come up about her past affiliations
Waters - crazy red: long record of supporting CPUSA and SWP fronts and causes; also the Workers World Party fronts ANSWER/IAC
Sanders - avowed socialist - translated means marxist
Major Owens - the more you look, the more CPUSA front affiliations you find
George Miller - the closet red. Serious sponsor of CPUSA and Hanoi Lobby fronts
Pet Stark - another supporter of CPUSA fronts and causes
Woolsey - wild-eyed marxist
Hinchey - a nutty red
Barney Frank - has a limited record of CPUSA &/or SWP front affiliations but was a key sponsor of the repeal of the Walter McCarren Act which kept communists/sympathizers and terrorist supporters out of America. And he is proud of it.
Bonior- David - another closet red. Record of supporting selected communist fronts/causes but has allied himself with the DSA and other marxist labor groups in recent years.
Velazquez - leftist. Need more research on her background but it is not a good one.
Dellums- hardcore communist/marxist/traitor (the Grenada report with his marxist staffer Barbara Lee, now a Representative, and Carliotta Scott, the lover of executed marxist dictator of Grenada, Maurice Bishop).
Dellums record is too long to put here. About as many CPUSA and SWP fronts as John Conyers had, and Bella Abzug had.
McDermott - a real fruitcake and traitor. The perfect dupe for the reds.
Nadler - The fat man had some funny connections in New York, including CPUSA fronts, with real estate developers, etc. Not to be trusted at all.
There are other reds in the DSA/PCP who will be exposed in a while. Color the Progressive Caucus - RED.
thanks for that list.
My local congresscritter made the list.
I will forward this website to his opponent.
Thank you JustPiper. Appreciate the thoughts. December and January are typically bad months for deaths, but this is way too much for one week for me.
Liberalism sounds good ...only it is anything but ... liberal ... it is tyrannical, and oppressive. It seeks to turn the poor, uneducated, or the super rich (that know they do not truly deserve to be so wealthy); and thus they are easily deceived by platitudes regarding their true intentions.
Progressives are also opposite what the name suggests. They are anything but making progress, (except to their own agenda, and doctrine) unless a return to enslavement is ones idea of progress.
It is totally presented as a lie. The so called 'smartest people' to ever be in charge are attempting to destroy the greatest and best system man has had. We gradually have crept away from the foundations, day by day, year by year, until now we are far from our Constitution, loss of , balance of powers, illegal changes by activist Judges making law, and many other incursions on our Constitution and freedom, liberty's foundation's.
God help us in our day, in Jesus name, amen.

Obama Just Got His Private Army
By Nancy Matthis | Friday, March 26th, 2010 at 9:46 am
Remember when Obama said he wanted a “national security force”? Not the national guard, but a civilian one that has not sworn to uphold the Constitution? On July 2, 2008 in a speech in Colorado Springs, Barack Obama called for a police state.
