From Sam Webb, CPUSA National Chair:
"Slightly over a year ago, the American people elected a young African American to the presidency and increased the Democratic majority in the Congress. President Obama's victory represented a repudiation of right-wing ideology, politics and economics and a setback for neoliberalism in both its conservative and liberal skins.
This victory was a long time in coming. When it finally happened it did so not only because of the brilliance of the candidate, but also due to the broad shoulders of a people's coalition.
The swing in the political pendulum ushered in the possibility of a new era. After 30 years of right-wing dominance, the balance of political power tilted once again in a progressive direction."
Above are the opening lines of my recent report to the Communist Party's leading body, the National Committee. In it, I outline the main political challenges working people face today, and the role and tasks of the progressive movement in addressing them.
In the lead-up to the CPUSA National Convention in May 2010, party members, friends and allies will be encouraged to read and discuss this document and others to help us prepare for this important event. The Pre-Convention discussion period will begin January 11, but I invite you to read this paper now. We look forward to hearing your thoughts.
You can read the full report on our website, or download the PDF version to print and read.
And as usual, please forward this email widely and invite friends and coworkers to join our email list.
Sincerely,
Sam Webb
National Chair
