Opening remarks to the National Committee. '...in that horrific instant and the weeks that have followed, domestic and world politics took an altogether new, frightening, dangerous, and unanticipated turn.'

Afghanistan: Some overlooked history

Since the horrific events of Sept. 11, much has been said about the desperate situation of the Afghani people now crushed under the heel of the theocratic, dictatorial Taliban, and about the role of the Northern Alliance and other Taliban opponents who now figure in Washington's plans for the region.

Pre-Convention Opening Report

This is a political crisis of serious proportions. Bush and his crowd are trying to achieve by anti-democratic - one could convincingly argue fascist - methods what they could not achieve by fair and democratic means. It is a thinly veiled attempt to undo the people's will and takeover over all three branches of our federal government. It is a clear and imminent danger to our constitutional and democratic rights....

We are dealing with the largest working class in our history. Not counting farm labor, figures that I was not able to come up with, there are roughly 130 million workers in the U.S. economy today. If you add in the unemployed, who are very much part of the working class, then the figure is probably closer to 135 million. For comparison, in 1948 there were a little more than...

Keynote Address, 27th CPUSA National Convention

A Convention is a crowning moment in the life of a Communist Party. It is the highest deliberative and decision-making body in our Party's structure. Unlike the conventions of the Democratic and Republican parties, our Convention doesn't aim to showcase a few leaders, but rather to be a model of working-class democracy, of thoughtful and comradely discussion, and of democratic decision-making.
