That's right comrades! We must elect the candidate endorsed by CPUSA! 
Comrade Kerry! Only he will lead the fight for the overthrow of the 
capitalist running dogs USA and the establishment of global socialism!


Communist Party USA ( CPUSA ) endorses Kerry:

From:
http://www.cpusa.org/article/articleview/590/1/56/

"It was no surprise to me that virtually everyone I met during a recent 
three-week trip across the Midwest was quick to remind me that this 
election is the most important in their lifetime. While agreeing that the 
overriding political task is to defeat Bush and his counterparts in 
Congress and elect Kerry and a more people-friendly Congress, no one 
reduced this to simply a contest between the Democratic and Republican 
parties. 

This election, they told me, will continue the nearly 24-year struggle 
against the forces of extreme political reaction who are now entrenched in 
the White House, Congress and Supreme Court - but with this difference: 
Nov. 2 could well mark a turning point for better or worse. 

A Bush victory would give the ultra-right a green light to ramp up their 
project to drastically and unilaterally reshape the domestic and 
international landscape in the interests of U.S. imperialism. 

On the other hand, a victory by Kerry and the broad democratic movement 
that supports him would be a body blow to the extreme right, bring some 
relief on bread and butter issues, and lift the siege on our nation's 
constitution. 

It also would create a much more favorable political terrain on which the 
people's movement could struggle for its agenda, beginning with an end to 
the occupation of Iraq. 

Thus the stakes are high, and what adds to the drama is that the electorate 
is so divided that the outcome will depend on which campaign is able to 
turn out the biggest vote. 

Given these circumstances, what should be the role of left and progressive 
people? 

It is not to parse every word, vet every speech, and scrutinize every 
statement of Kerry. Nor is it to damn Kerry with faint praise. Rather its 
main task, as I see it, is to bring into sharper focus the differences in 
the two lines of policy represented by Kerry and Bush, to delineate the 
vastly improved political playing field that a Kerry victory would bring, 
and, above all, to become involved in the grassroots efforts to mobilize 
the vote. 

In so doing, the left will help voters gain an understanding of the bigger 
picture, extend the practical efforts to reach the electorate, and enhance 
its connections to the main democratic organizations - connections which 
are critical to post-election struggles. 

Across the country there is a growing anti-Bush feeling, but that alone is 
not enough. To win requires that millions be convinced that the differences 
between Bush and Kerry are real, substantial and consequential to their 
lives on the whole range of issues: Social Security, Medicare, health care, 
overtime, minimum wage, public education, affirmative action, civil rights, 
reproductive rights, immigrant rights, gay rights, civil liberties, tax 
policy, environmental protection, Cuba, preemptive war, and nuclear weapons 
testing and use. 

Even on Iraq, there are differences between the two. But more importantly, 
the defeat of Bush would be a repudiation of his policies of war and 
occupation, and that could not be ignored by a Kerry administration. 

Thus, the remark heard in some left circles, "I will vote for Kerry but 
hold my nose," misses the point and is demobilizing. It may bring some 
momentary self-satisfaction to those expressing it. But it will do little 
to convince swing, undecided, or stay-at-home voters to go to the polls. 

In my experience, aside from right wing talk show hosts and their loyal 
listeners, few people believe that Kerry is a candidate of the left and 
progressive movement. Most know that he is closely tied to the U.S. ruling 
class and a defender of capitalism, as is Bush. 

That common class affiliation and fondness for the "free enterprise" 
system, however, doesn't prevent millions of voters from understanding that 
Kerry is a political centrist and espouses different policies than Bush. 

Nor does it keep them from realizing that a Kerry victory would give the 
broader movements more political leverage than they now have. 

The biggest danger in this election is not that people have unrealistic 
expectations of a Kerry administration, but rather that a substantial 
section of voters still believe that it doesn't make much of a difference 
who they vote for on Nov. 2. The responsibility of left and progressive 
people is not to spend their time bellyaching over Kerry's shortcomings, 
but to convince millions of people that there is a choice and that the 
outcome of this election will have enormous consequences for our nation's 
future.

And the Democratic Socialists of America endorse Kerry:

"Socialists Urge Support for Kerry
July 23, 2004

The Democratic Socialists of America Political Action Committee (DSAPAC) 
released a statement today urging its members to work for the election of 
John Kerry in the 2004 presidential election.

"Kerry was hardly the first choice of our members. Most supported Dennis 
Kucinich or Howard Dean in the Democratic primary elections and would be 
very critical of Senator Kerry's voting record on trade issues, as well as 
his support for the resolution authorizing the use of force in Iraq; but 
the most important concern of our members now is to defeat Bush," said 
Frank Llewellyn, the National Director of Democratic Socialists of America 
(DSA).

The DSAPAC statement was very critical of the current direction of the 
Democratic Party, lamenting the strength of the Democratic Leadership 
Council as compared to the Congressional Progressive Caucus in Party 
circles. But the statement condemned the much greater threat to the 
interests of the average American posed by Republican control of all three 
branches of government.

The statement urged DSA members to participate in get-out-the-vote and 
voter education projects with other progressive organizations. "It is very 
important that progressive movements keep organizing and mobilizing so that 
we will be in a position to make demands on a new administration," 
Llewellyn continued.

The Democratic Socialists of America is the largest socialist organization 
in the United States, with 5500 members and local organizations in most 
large cities. It is affiliated to the Socialist International, a federation 
of the world's socialist, social democratic and labor parties.

Communist Vietnamese honor John Kerry, the war protestor, as a hero in 
their victory over the United States in the Vietnam War -- Part II.
On Memorial Day, May 31, 2004, Vietnam Vets for the Truth broke an 
extraordinary story about a photograph hanging in the Vietnamese Communist 
War Remnants Museum (formerly known as the "War Crimes Museum") in Ho Chi 
Minh City (Saigon). The photograph, displayed in a room dedicated to 
foreign activists who contributed to the Communist victory over America in 
the Vietnam War, shows Senator John Kerry being greeted by Comrade Do Muoi, 
General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam. Jeffrey M. Epstein of 
Vietnam Vets for the Truth acquired the photograph during the Memorial Day 
weekend in response to a general request for photographs and records 
detailing Kerry's activities on behalf of the enemy. 
Vietnam Vets for the Truth has now further documented the photograph. 
Photographer Bill Lupetti returned to the War Remnants Museum in Saigon on 
June 2 at the request of Dr. Jerome Corsi, co-author of the original 
article, and photographed a current edition of the "Viet Nam News" next to 
the display honoring John Kerry.

the Communist Party of Vietnam, in Vietnam. Photo displayed in the War 
Remnants Museum (formerly the "War Crimes Museum") in Saigon. The June 2, 
2004, edition of "Viet Nam News" is held beside the Kerry photograph to 
confirm the date the photo was taken. English-language placard below 
photograph reads: "Mr. Do Muoi, Secretary General of the Vietnam Communist 
Party met with Congressmen and Veterans Delegation in Vietnam (July 15-18, 
1993)."
Dr. Corsi asked Mr. Lupetti to more thoroughly document the layout and 
scope of the museum, particularly the section featuring those foreign anti-
war activists whom the Vietnamese communists wished to honor. He took a 
number of additional photos at the War Remnants Museum and elsewhere, 
several of which are presented below.
Dr. Corsi also contacted Dan Tran of the Vietnam Human Rights Project, who 
asked associates in Saigon to go into the museum to make sure the 
photograph of John Kerry was actually there. Mr. Tran's contacts confirmed 
that the photograph is still in the museum.

Museum (formerly the "War Crimes Museum") in Saigon. 
Dan Tran also asked his Vietnamese associates to get a more precise wording 
of the placards under the photo. Below are the English and French captions:
"Mr. Do Muoi, Secretary General of the Vietnam Communist Party met with 
Congressmen and Veterans Delegation in Vietnam (July 15-18, 1993)"
"Camarade Do Muoi -- Secr�taire General du Parti Communiste du Vietnam -- 
recevait une d�l�gation de S�nateurs et Anciens V�t�rans du Vietnam le 18 
Juillet 1993"
Bill Lupetti, who had served as a Navy corpsman working with Swift Boat 
sailors in An Thoi, was in Vietnam and happened upon the Kerry photo 
display while visiting the War Remnants Museum. Mr. Lupetti posted the 
photo to an album maintained on MyFamily.com by Swift Boat veteran Jim Deal 
that contains hundreds of Vietnam War era photos posted by participating 
Swift Boat veterans. One of those veterans, Bob Shirley, forwarded the 
Kerry photo to Jeff Epstein of Vietnam Vets for the Truth in response to an 
Internet request for photographs documenting John Kerry's activities as a 
Naval officer and as an antiwar protestor.
----------
Several members of the mainstream media have questioned the authenticity of 
the photograph on the grounds that they have no proof that Senator Kerry 
was in Vietnam during July 15-18, 1993.
According to a AP newswire report carried in The Chronicle-Telegram of 
Elyria, Ohio, on July 17, 1993, a US delegation headed by US Deputy 
Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Hershel Gober, was in Vietnam on a mission 
sent by President Clinton, to deliver to the Vietnamese microfilm of some 3 
million captured Vietnam War documents that pertained to finding American 
POWs and MIAs. The newspaper states that the mission was scheduled to meet 
with Communist Party General Secretary Do Muoi.
The reports do not confirm that Senator Kerry was part of the US 
delegation; however, in his press release of July 2, 1993 announcing the 
formation of the delegation, President Clinton mentioned John Kerry and 
noted that "Members of Congress and representatives of veterans groups have 
traveled to Vietnam to press for the goal" of resolving the fate of 
American service personnel who did not return from Vietnam. There is ample 
documentation that John Kerry has met with General Secretary Do Muoi. The 
Far Eastern Economical Review of February 11, 1999 notes that Senator Kerry 
met with Do Muoi when he visited Hanoi in December 1998. In a speech given 
on the Senate Floor on April 29, 1992 Senator Kerry discussed in detail a 
meeting he had recently had with Do Muoi in Vietnam to discuss the fate of 
American POWs and MIAs. A photo widely circulated on the Internet shows 
John Kerry formally posed with Do Muoi. The two men are seated with a 
statue of Ho Chi Minh in the background.
The existence of photographs showing Senator Kerry meeting with General 
Secretary Do Muoi is not in question. In the course of pursuing the POW and 
MIA issue, it is reasonable that Senator Kerry would seek to meet with the 
communist leaders of Vietnam. The critical issue is that the Vietnamese 
communists have chosen to honor Senator Kerry in their War Crimes Museum 
for his assistance in helping them achieve victory over the United States. 
The sign outside the entrance to the room where Kerry's photo is displayed 
reads: "The World Supports Vietnam in its Resistance." Also exhibited 
inside the room are protest banners and emblems from various nations and 
photographs of international leaders who supported North Vietnam's cause.
----------
Mr. Lupetti also photographed a picture honoring Jane Fonda, who stands 
next to Nguyen Thi Dinh, deputy commander of the Viet Cong.

The photographs shown below accurately reflect the appearance and content 
of the War Remnants Museum in Saigon as of June 2, 2004, and document the 
context of the photo placed to honor the service John Kerry rendered to the 
Vietnamese communists with his anti-war protest activities. Bill Lupetti 
has reported that as he photographed exhibits in the Museum he began to 
attract police attention. He and the Vietnamese who were with him were 
reluctant to return to the Museum to take additional photographs after June 
2.

John Kerry helped North Vietnam and the Vietcong win their war against 
America. More than 30 years later, the Vietnamese communists still 
recognize his contribution to their victory.
