Email by CPUSA Lake-of-the-Woods Club Co-Chair Alan L. Maki on the Censorship of the KKE Greetings to the CPUSA 29th National Convention May 26, 2010 Posted on MySpace Gus Hall Discussion Club by the Gus Hall Action Club: May 22, 2010 6:48 PM: I just recently received this important e-mail: "Please give this the widest circulation and distribution possible. Make into leaflets and distribute widely. Post to blogs and on list serves, FaceBook, MySpace, etc. Discuss at Club meetings and union meetings. Please distribute to your e-mail lists. Everyone has a right to read and discuss this most important message from the KKE. Those delegates in attendance at the CPUSA National Convention now in progress in New York should use Robert’s Rules of Order and call for the suspension of the rules of the convention for the purpose of discussing this Message from the KKE. Note: This is the link to PAME, the All Workers’ Militant Front, as mentioned below.: http://www.pamehellas.gr/main.php?lang=2 The CPUSA should be fulfilling its responsibility for international solidarity and working class unity by bringing a delegation from the KKE and PAME on tour in the United States in order to build support against our common enemies on Wall Street and the other centers of capital. We need to know why Sam Webb and the National Board of the CPUSA have been suppressing this message which they received on May 15, 2010. This Message from the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) should have been released to the entire membership of the CPUSA, the trade union movement and the public at the time it was received. It should have been available on the CPUSA website, in the People’s Weekly World and Political Affairs as well as made available to the media--- including to C-Span listeners as part of Sam Webb’s “Main Report” to the Convention which would have been more appropriate than his stupid jokes that were nothing but a distraction from important issues affecting working peoples’ lives. There needs to be a thorough discussion as part of the CPUSA National Convention as to what is going to be done here in the United States in the way of solidarity with the Greek working class fighting to maintain their rights and livelihoods and how the austerity measures capital is trying to shove down the throats of Greek workers is part of capital’s drive to undermine living standards of working people here in the United States and workers all over the world. Now is the time to vigorously speak up against Sam Webb and the revisionists who have hi-jacked our Party in the name of “new” and “change” and of all things, in the name of “democracy” as they suppress this Message from the KKE and refuse to distribute this Message to all Party members, friends and the trade union movement here in the United States--- what kind of “democracy” is this?
