| SOCIALISTS IN
CONGRESS

When you think you are strong enough that your opposition
can't harm you, you can be brazen enough to go public.
Democratic Socialists of America now list their
Congressional members on their website.
"Socialism" is (1) a political system in which production
and distribution of goods are controlled by 'the people'
according to 'equity and fairness' rather than market
principles, (2) a Socialist political movement, typically
advocating the end to private property ownership and
exploitation of workers, (3) a Marxist system in which pay
and benefits are distributed according to 'need' rather than
according to work done, (4) the intermediate Proletarian
Revolution phase as society changes from Capitalism to
Communism.
Socialism's endgame is Communism. Communism is the
opposite of our Republican form of national government.
Communism requires abandoning Constitutionally-guaranteed
rights of individual citizens for the "common good" of
collective society.
The Communist Manifesto demands the following: (1) end of
private property ownership, (2) progressive and heavy
taxation, (3) end of inheritance rights, (4) government
confiscation of property of emigrants and rebels, (5) a
national central bank, (6) government control of
transportation and communication, (7) government ownership
of factories and agriculture, (8) government control of
labor, (9) corporate mega-farms to replace family farms,
(10) regional planning, (11) government control of
education.
If you think America is abandoning its Constitution and
slouching into Socialism, consider yourself perceptive.
According to the Democratic Socialists of America internet
website -- http://bernie.house.gov/pc/ -- and the Socialist
elected officials members list on the Progressive Caucus
website -- http://bernie.house.gov/pc/members.asp -- America
now has 58 elected Congressional Representatives in the US
House of Representatives who are members of the Democratic
Socialists of America. They help create our national
policies and laws.
Article 6 of our US Constitution says, in part, ". . .
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned (in
Article 6), and the Members of the several State
Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both
of the United States and of the several States, shall be
bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution .
. . "
Elected officials who support the goals of Socialism do
not and can not support the US Constitution. Those are
mutually exclusive philosophies of government. Congressional
Socialists violate their Oath Of Office, fraudulently
continue serving in office, and are prime candidates for
prosecution for treason.
Socialists in Congress tend to support legislation such
as HR-701, the Conservation And Reinvestment Act (CARA)
which would spend US Treasury funds to condemn and force
buyout of rural citizens' land and to relocate rural folks
to giant hive cities where they can be more easily
controlled and managed through dependency on government.
Congressional Socialists tend to support massive
land-grabs such as The Wildlands Project designed to return
50% of the United States to pre-Columbian wilderness.
Congressional Socialists tend to support massive tax
increases, massive government spending, restrictive
regulations, unlimited immigration, taxing workers to reward
drone citizens, federal control of education, and supporting
and expanding international control of America through the
United Nations.
