We can think back with pride to decades of hard work toward our strategic goal of a big enough, broad enough and united enough labor and all-people’s movement that could overcome the ultra-right blockage to all progress. That all people’s movement has come to life, it is dynamic and it has the potential to keep growing.
The election of Barack Obama and a strengthened Congress creates new conditions in our country. There is now the possibility to shift gears and move forward. This new day requires us to further develop our tactics in order to continue to deepen and broaden labor and people’s unity.
There are thousands of experiences that we all have had in these momentous days, some large, some small, all of which express the enormity of change in thinking and readiness for involvement that is underway and that steels us for the battles ahead. The tears of joy we all shared as crowds gathered to watch the election results here and throughout the world dramatize the new moment we are in. ( Changing the political landscape in 2010 may prove easier then erraticating from our soil all Communist and Socialist that have been entrenched in our socity for decades. They will not go away quietly in the night. They will never stop pushing their idealolgy and will keep coming back again and again, until their shown what real Patriotism means from real Americans. What price Liberty.)
