| Democrats Allow Communists to Infiltrate Their Party Across the Nation |
| 2019-02-11 |
| [Epoch Times] The Communist Party USA (CPUSA) is infiltrating the Democratic Party across the country. Communists, some openly, some secretly, are working in Democratic campaigns, holding Democratic Party leadership positions, and even running for public office on the Democratic Party ballot line. The communists also are pushing their policies inside the Democratic Party, to the point that it’s almost impossible to distinguish between the CPUSA and Democratic Party programs. Many comrades also work closely with influential congressmembers or U.S. senators. The CPUSA supports China, Cuba, Venezuela, and the Russian Communist Party‐all enemies of the United States. The CPUSA still advocates for the "overthrow of the capitalist class" in this country, yet the Democrats do absolutely zilch to keep the communists out of their party. CPUSA infiltration of the Democratic Party is widespread‐it effects every region where the communists have a significant presence. SUPPORT AND INFILTRATION In the San Diego area, two CPUSA members, Carl Wood and Emiliana Sparaco, ran this month for the California Democratic Party Central Committee, from Assembly Districts 76 and 80, respectively. Wood, a lifelong communist, intended to push for the "Healthy California Act that provides improved Medicare for All, a Living Wage of at least $15/hour, the Green New Deal for a healthy environment with good new jobs in a peace economy, and legislation to promote strong Unions." In 1999, California’s then-Democratic Gov. Gray Davis appointed Wood to a six-year term on the California Public Utilities Commission, where he "played a significant role in protecting California from the consequences of its disastrous deregulation experiment." Sparaco, a former leader of the Young Communist League, traveled to Sochi, Russia, in October 2017, as part of a U.S. communist delegation to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution‐keynoted by Vladimir Putin himself. In 2018, Sparaco was a leading activist in Flip the 49th, which helped Democrat Mike Levin win California’s 49th Congressional District. In Northern California, Sacramento area Democratic Congressman Ami Bera, who serves on the House Foreign Relations Committee, has won several super-close elections with communist help. For example, in 2014, CPUSA members Juan Lopez, Cassie Lopez, Michelle Kern, Nell Ranta, and Mik Diddams canvassed and phone-banked out of Bera’s campaign headquarters. |

| #8 Back in the old days, Hubert Humphrey (D) MN - In 1943, Humphrey made his first run for elective office, for Mayor of Minneapolis. He lost, but his poorly funded campaign still captured over 47% of the vote.[21] In 1944, Humphrey was one of the key players in the merger of the Democratic and Farmer-Labor parties of Minnesota to form the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL).[35] He also worked on President Roosevelt's 1944 reelection campaign.[36] When Minnesota Communists tried to seize control of the new party in 1945, Humphrey became an engaged anticommunist and led the successful fight to oust the Communists from the DFL -Wiki They'd paid him back in '68. They don't make them like they used to. |

| #7 The communists are just the Democrats willing to admit their sympathies. |

| #6 The Democratic Party is composed of many little factions that all ask what can my country do for me. It's inevitable that they would want to turn to socialism to force their multitude of micro-agendas to happen. |

| #5 This is different from the state of the Democratic Party during all of the 20th Century? It's called the 'standing headline' - it's evergreen. |
