Maxine Waters is a far left Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives, representing the 35th district of California.
In the news recently over allegations of corruption, Maxine Waters, if the media was doing its job, should be equally well known for her socialist connections.
Waters has consistently attempted to present herself as a mainstream politician. However the facts tell a different story.
In May 1992 Waters put her name to a supplement in the Communist Party‘s newspaper, the People’s Weekly World which called for readers to “support our continuing struggle for justice and dignity.” Virtually all other signatories were known Communist Party members or supporters.
In October, later that year, she was the keynote speaker at a Coalition of Black Trade Unionists meeting in St Louis Missouri. The Coalition began as a Communist Party front.
In June 1996, the Communist Party’s People’s Weekly World held a tribute event for Southern California labor unionists Jerry Acosta and Gil Cedillo. Presentations to the honorees were made on behalf of Maxine Waters and (now U.S. Secretary of labor), Hilda Solis, by their staffers who were present at the event.
In 1997 Waters put her name to a “Jobs Bill” which had been originally introduced to Congress at the request of over 50 prominent labor leaders – many of whom were known members or supporters of the Communist Party.
Waters has been a member of the Democratic Socialists of America – linked Congressional Progressive Caucus from as early as 1998 up til the present. Her mid 1990s press secretary and speech-writer, Patrick Lacefield was a former National Director of the D.S.A.
Waters also serves on the Advisory Board for Progressive Democrats of America, an activist network within the Democratic Party, which is led by several D.S.A. connected activists, including National Director Tim Carpenter.
In May 2008, Waters made an embarassing tongue-slip during her televised questioning of a Shell Oil Executive. She queried, “…And guess what this liberal will be all about? This liberal will be all about socializing, uh, umm – will be about, basically. taking over, and the Government running all of your companies.” The video of this incident can be viewed here.
If Maxine Waters is found guilty of ethics violations, it will one more example of the corruption/socialism connection, now so common in the U.S. Congress.
Another stinking Commie in the peoples house. Why the hell is she still there ? Oh, I know the answer….she is black…therefore she is protected.
I am afraid my dear country has lost its way. This should be a wake up call to all US citizens that elected this bum Obama. Obama is another Commie, who should have never been elected to the presidency. The fact that he was indicates the stupidity and ignorance of the Americans. This ignorance and stupidity is a result of an education system that has failed, and has been compromised by the Marxist teachers unions, and administrators. Parents are to blame too. Parents of the 70′s and beyond were not involved with the schools and their Childrens studies. Had they been, they would have seen that their kids were being fed revisionist history and social studies, and the lack of any Physical education and competitive sports.
By the time these kids became adult voters, they had lost the will to compete, believed in a US history that never happened as they learned it, and a view of the world that left out American exceptionalism.
And so we shall see if the sleeping Boomers, the children of the “greatest generation” can rise up and steer America back to being what is always was before Obama. Hence the new term “BO” meaning “before Obama”
Obviously “AO” is now “after Obama. I look forword to the US returning to the BO state, very soon AO.
Jaque.
