2. Barack Obama sought the endorsement of the Chicago DSA which
required rigorous scrutiny
by the party’s Political
Committee as well as Mr. Obama’s signature on a contract
promising “a visible and active relationship with the NP.”
3. Barack Obama actively used the endorsement from the Chicago DSA.
4. Barack Obama won his DSA-endorsed and backed campaign to secure his seat in the Illinois State Senate.
5. Barack Obama continued his involvement with the Chicago DSA
- including directly asking the group to join
“his task forces on Voter Education and Voter Registration"
- and received their endorsements in subsequent
campaigns.
Obama’s participation in and endorsement from the Chicago New Party and
Chicago DSA,
the local affiliate of the
Democratic Socialists of America
(which is the
U.S. affiliate
of the Socialist International)
is quite clear:
1. According to the
write-up
on the July 1995 meeting of Chicago DSA and New Party membership, Barack Obama was
one of about 50 people attending out of their then-300 member local group. Other documents
below will
demonstrate Barack Obama attended and participated in subsequent meetings.
2. The New Party rigorously evaluated its candidate endorsements and claimed “a winning ratio
of 77 of 110 elections.”
This was no passive endorsement.
Candidates must
be approved via a NP political committee. Once approved, candidates must
sign a
contract with the NP.
The contract mandates that they must have a visible and active
relationship with the
NP. -

3. Candidate Barack Obama participated as a panelist at the DSA-sponsored Town Meeting on
February 25, 1996,
entitled “Employment and Survival in Urban America”. As reported in
New Ground,
Barack Obama observed that Martin Luther King’s March on Washington in the 1960s wasn’t
simply
about civil rights but demanded jobs as well. Now the issue is again coming to
the front, but he wished the
issue was on the Democratic agenda not just on Buchanan’s.
One of the themes that has emerged in Barack Obama’s campaign is “what does it take to
create
productive communities”, not just consumptive communities. It is an issue that
joins some of the best
instincts of the conservatives with the better instincts of the
left. He felt the state government has three
constructive roles to play.
The first is “human capital development”. By this he meant public education,
welfare reform, and a
“workforce preparation strategy”. Public education requires equality in funding.
It’s not that money is the
only solution to public education’s problems but it’s a start
toward a solution. The current proposals for
welfare reform are intended to eliminate
welfare but it’s also true that the status quo is not tenable. A true
welfare system would
provide for medical care, child care and job training. While Barack Obama did not
use this
term, it sounded very much like the “social wage” approach used by many social democratic
labor
parties. By “workforce preparation strategy”, Barack Obama simply meant a coordinated,
purposeful
program of job training instead of the ad hoc, fragmented approach used by the
State of Illinois today.
The state government can also play a role in redistribution, the allocation of wages and
jobs. As Barack
Obama noted, when someone gets paid $10 million to eliminate 4,000 jobs,
the voters in his district know
this is an issue of power not economics. The government
can use as tools labor law reform, public works
and contracts.
4. Obama subsequently secured his endorsement from the Chicago DSA
The local Democratic Socialists of America
affiliate issued their
Chicago DSA Endorsements in the March 19th Primary
Election:
Barack Obama is running to gain the Democratic ballot line for Illinois Senate 13th
District. The 13th
District is Alice Palmer’s old district, encompassing parts of Hyde Park and South
Shore.
Mr. Obama graduated from Columbia University and promptly went into community organizing
for the
Developing Communities Project in Roseland and Altgeld Gardens on the far south
side of Chicago. He
went on to Harvard University, where he was editor of the Harvard Law
Review. He graduated with a law
degree. In 1992, he was Director of Illinois Project Vote,
a voter registration campaign that made Carol
Moseley Braun’s election to the U.S. Senate
much easier than it would have been. At present, he practices
law in Judson Miner’s law
firm and is President of the board of the Annenberg Challenge Grant which is
distributing
some $50 million in grants to public school reform efforts.
What best characterizes Barack Obama is a quote from an article in Illinois Issues, a
retrospective look at
his experience as a community organizer while he was completing
his degree at Harvard:
“… community organizations and organizers are hampered by their own dogmas about the style
and
substance of organizing. Most practice … a ‘consumer advocacy’ approach, with a focus
on wrestling
services and resources from outside powers that be. Few are thinking of
harnessing the internal productive
capacities, both in terms of money and people, that
already exist in communities.” (Illinois issues,
September, 1988)
Luckily, Mr. Obama does not have any opposition in the primary. His opponents have all
dropped out or
were ruled off the ballot.
5. Barack Obama Continued Attending Membership Meetings of the Chicago DSA New Party
Obama attended
membership meeting on April 11, 1996,
where he expressed his gratitude for their support. The
report shared that “Barack Obama,
victor in the 13th State Senate District, encouraged NPers to join in his task
forces on
Voter Education and Voter Registration.”
6. Obama won his election with the help of the Chicago DSA’s New Party.
7. Chicago DSA notes in 1998 that Barack Obama eulogized Saul Mendelson, co-founder of the Debs Dinner.
8. In the fall of 1998, Chicago DSA’s New Ground ’s editor offered nomination of Barack Obama for reelection.
9. When Barack Obama challenged Bobby Rush for the 1st Congressional District in 2000, the
Chicago DSA opted to
recommend both:
For Congressman of the 1st Congressional District, the Executive Committee was faced with
two very good
candidates. As we are not making endorsements but merely recommendations,
we felt no conflict in
recommending both Bobby Rush and Barack Obama.
Bobby Rush was the incumbent Congressman. He was also a candidate for Mayor of Chicago
in the last
municipal elections, endorsed by Chicago DSA. While he hasn’t always been the
ideal Congressman from a left
perspective (being a cosponsor of the “NAFTA for Africa” bill,
for example), he’s generally been quite good. To
volunteer, call 773 264 7874.
Contributions may be made to Citizens for Rush, 514 E. 95th St., Chicago, IL
60619.
Barak Obama is serving only his second term in the Illinois State Senate so he might be
fairly charged with
ambition, but the same might have be said of Bobby Rush when he ran
against Congressman Charles Hayes.
Obama also has put in time at the grass roots, working
for five years as a community organizer in Harlem and in
Chicago. When Obama participated
in a 1996 UofC YDS Townhall Meeting on Economic Insecurity, much of
what he had to say was
well within the mainstream of European social democracy.
Conclusion
Barack Obama has a long-term and sustained relationship with the Chicago DSA, an affiliate of the Democratic Socialists of America, and with the Chicago New Party. He participated in multiple membership meetings and in DSA-sponsored events, repeatedly sought their endorsement. This does not answer all questions about Barack Obama’s past relationships with multiple socialist groups. What the media need to find out is this: Has Barack Obama broken his ties with them? If so, when and why?

In late December 2008, the following advertisement was in our post office box. It concerns a book recently published by James Delingpole who is a British citizen that has been subjected to socialism in the United Kingdom for some time now. His book is called Welcome to Obamaland - I've seen your future and it doesn't work. The words in the ad follow.
Barack Obama is going to fix everything, right? That's what the liberal media keeps telling us: he's young, he's personable, he's the sum of everyone's hopes, he's the new FDR, the new Lincoln. He had nothing to do with the recession or the credit crunch or the mistakes that were made in Iraq or Afghanistan or any of the other older-regime bad things. This handsome JFK-revisited guy is going to magically sweep away all those things with his magic broomstick. Right?
Wrong. The land we love has been hi-jacked by a bunch of left-liberal fruitcakes. They don't have much of an idea of how to fix the economy. But they do know exactly how to ruin your life. And they will. In Welcome to Obamaland - I have seen your future and it doesn't work, British author James Delingpole reveals how Delingpole has seen it before: Obama is intent on implementing policies that have already been tried and failed in Britain - not that that country's socialist elite has noticed their failure. He explains how, over the next four or eight long, weary years, our taxes are going to rise, our standard of living is going to drop, and - maybe the worse thing of all for free Americans - our liberties are going to be curtailed.
Socialists, he explains, don't believe in freedom - and socialism is what we've got now. The Democrats won't call it that, says Delingpole, but the results will be the same. They'll dress it up with nice-sounding phrases like "equality", "fairness", "social justice", "freedom of choice", "affirmative action", "multiculturalism", "carbon emission reduction", "ethical foreign policy", "animal rights", and "consumer protection". Under those guises, they will push for higher taxes (needed to fund all the big new government programs Obama will assure us are necessary to ensure fairness and economic justice); enact stringent gun bans; implement government controls, initiatives, and busybody interference in your life in order to meet the imaginary threat of manmade global warming; plunge America into the nightmare of inefficiency known as socialized medicine; perpetuate the great liberal cultural death wish of unrestricted immigration; and pursue appeasement of America's enemies.
But take heart. Delingpole concludes with a number of reasons for conservatives to feel consoled even as Obamamania sweeps the nation and the world. In Obamaland, he provides conservatives with solid arguments and evidence to convince friends and coworkers who have drunk the Obama Kool-Aid to curb their enthusiasm.

The problem that even the so-called conservative media and the conservative public still have
is that they are asleep. They have not read Saul Alinsky's books which outline almost
everything that Obama has done and is doing. For example,
(1) Alinsky says to use "Change" as a mantra because it always works,
(2) to be a "well-integrated political schizoid" (to have the
ability to tell everyone exactly what they want to hear while not believing any of it),
(3) to have an ego that cannot be shaken,
(4) to do things for one supposed reason while actually doing
them for another reason that is not known to anyone else,
(5) to be unconcerned with ethics as such concern is a weakness,
(6) to realize that anything is fair in war (and this is a war),
(7) and to phrase goals in general and misleading terms which appear to be patriotic.
The list of things by Obama's mentor (Alinsky) for taking over the U.S. government is a long one and the foregoing are merely a small part those things. You should note that Alinsky was a student of both Adolph Hitler and Stalin. The foregoing were used very well by Hitler when he took over Germany, enslaved the population, and killed millions of Jews, Catholics, homosexuals, and political dissidents. Although limited due to the short time that movies are allowed to play, the story of Hitler's rise to power and his fall were shown on the History Channel in their treatment of the new film that honors the German patriots who attempted to assinate Hitler, Valkyrie. If one prefers a true and personal story to the dryer paragraphs of history books, this is a film to see - as is the History Channel treatment when it is re-run on television.
One should read Alinsky's books for a more thorough understanding (available from Amazon as they have been used as textbooks in communist's schools here the United States since the early 1930s). Alinsky was a "neo-communist" genius who was dedicated to a communist world government in which all nations, including the United States, would be subservient members without the option of secession. This means taxes imposed by the world government, a world government gestapo, a world government army, and an Afro-Asian alliance with the rest of the communist bloc within that world government - that can vote to enslave or execute those who believe in freedom. Alinsky's books are Reveille for Radicals and Rules for Radicals. If you are interested in learning just how completely you have been taken in by Obama, you should read them. Otherwise look at the book report on the this website.
The somnambulent conservatives are still prattling about how stupid Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and other "Democrats" are regarding free-enterprise economics. These supposed conservatives appear to have no clue to the cunning methods used by communists to dupe the public. The communists have spent years conditioning idealistic individuals (the communists call them "useful idiots") within the population to work for socialist/communist goals. These useful idiots are now so numerous that they, working along with the communists in the U.S. government, can manipulate the rest of the public. The communist triumverate (Obama, Pelosi, and Reid) know exactly what they are doing - and they are cunning - not stupid. Their immediate goal is to create the downfall of America as the first step in an agenda of international communism. This can best be done by appearing to be stupid - but sincere - as they ruin the U.S. economy. And one wonders if most of the so-called conservatives are not also in league with the communists and using apparent stupidity as a red herring.
Added July 1, 2009
Most of this information comes from the September 1, 2008, issue of National Review,
which was published too late for it to have much of an effect on the election - assuming
it could have had an effect, considering the fact that the media in general was either
in love with Obama or part of his communist circle.
According to Obama's autobiography, published 1995, Obama was born in Hawaii. He had a white mother and white grandparents whom he supposedly loved. When he was two years old, his black Kenyan father abandoned his mother. His early life was in Hawaii which is multiracial and Obama hardly ever encountered racism firsthand. At age six, Obama went to live in Indonesia with his white mother and Indonesian stepfather. At age ten, he went back to Hawaii and lived out the rest of his youth with his lower-middle-class white grandparents - and attending an expensive, almost-all-white prep school.
As a youth he had a black mentor who told him the "black people have reason to hate". Obama pondered this and asks whether blacks can love themselves without hating whites. This apparently led to Obama being drawn to Reverend Wright's church, as in the bio Wright's views are in plain sight.
After college, Obama had an affluent white girlfriend who loved and wanted to marry him. Her family warmly accepted him. However, Obama dumped her because she was not black, and therefore threatened him with assimilation into a white culture.
In his his book Dreams, Obama presents the history of the U.S. as story of evil and suffering. Although Obama never experienced it - and possibly wanted to do so to make his viewpoint seem authentic - he shows U.S. society as a "racial caste system" where "color and money" determine where you end up in life. He uses examples of whites abusing blacks, Japanese families interned behind barbed wire, young Russian Jews working in Lower East Side sweatshops, and hardships of dustbowl farmers. He shows Hawaii is the place where whites brought disease, conquest of the natives, and an indenturing system that kept immigrants of other races under a yoke of oppression. When he saw the Apollo astronauts return to Hawaii after splashing down in the Pacific, he asked "How could America send men into space and still keep its black citizens in bondage?"
American affluence offends Obama. As a teenager, he envied the white homes in the suburbs and liked to think of their occupants as depressed and lonely. When studying law and Harvard, he saw American consumer culture as the result of expediency or greed. And when working for a large corporation, has saw himself as a spy behind enemy lines.
Obama defines himself as a black man. As a young man, he viewed his white ancestry as an impediment to achieving authentic blackness. He had little interest in white ancestors or history [which is apparent now as he blunders his way through the China shop of our country]. He is fascinated by his black ancestry and has a deep sense of belonging when he journeys to Kenya. He views U.S. history as whites crushing blacks.
[It should be remembered that Obama wrote his books after he had gone to Alinsky's school in Chicago and after he was on his way into politics. Since Alinsky believed in lying to further the interests of young radicals, there is no reason to believe much of what Obama stated in his books unless such statements did not tend to affect his political agenda in any manner.]
Obama became a community organizer in south Chicago to save the black urban poor and the underclass (according to Obama). He states that he asked a question of himself. Homicide, drug addiction, alcoholism, out-of-wedlock childbearing, and educational failure, which are occurring within the black community, have not been influenced by white thugs - so who is responsible? Why did whites end segregation, create affirmative action, and erect a new welfare state? Obama does not answer these questions and then turns to vague charges about racism and hidden power structures - and he goes on in like manner blaming the whites. Therefore, blame for the black well-being requires must always be placed in historic context - thus, shifted to the whites. His reasoning continues as a series of rationalizations for this premise. Obama states: "The other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart."
In 2008, Heidi Swarts, a Rutgers political scientist, published Organizing Urban America: Secular and Faithbased Progressive Movements, the first book-length study of the organizing tactics and political ideologies of the Chicago-based Gamaliel Foundation and the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). This book uncovers the veil that was kept over Obama by himself, the mainstream Media, and Obama's other supporters.
Gamaliel specializes in ideological stealth, and Obama, a master student of Gamaliel strategy (and Alinsky's techniques), used those tactics during the Presidential campaign to mask his true identity. In fact, today, Obama is still attempting to put through his socialist (and eventually communist) agenda before he is found out by too many of us for what he is. Obama has long been linked to Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Father Michael Pfleger, and the militant activist of ACORN. And now it becomes known that through foundation grants, shared political activism, collaboration on legislation and tactics, and mutual praise and support, he is linked to the Gamaliel Foundation.
The Gamaliel Foundation was co-founded by its executive director, Gregory Galluzzo, who also served as a trainer and mentor for Obama during his 1980s organizing days in Chicago. The Developing Communities Project first hired Obama - and it was part of the Gamaliel network. Obama became a consultant and eventually a trainer of community organizers for Gamaliel, and he has kept his ties with Gamaliel during his time in the U.S. Senate.
Obama is proud of his role as community organizer - perhaps better called a communist agitator - who has its roots in Saul Alinsky's teachings. Dennis Jacobsen wrote a book (Doing Justice: Congregations and Community Organizing - 2001) which is part of the first-year reading list for Gamaliel organizers, laying out the underlying theology of Gamaliel's activities. Jacobsen is the pastor of Incarnation Lutheran Church in Milwaukee and the director of the Gamaliel National Clergy Caucus. Since 1992, he has been presenting his views at Gamaliel's clergy training center.
According to Jacobsen, America is a sinful and fallen nation whose pervasive classism, racism, and militarism must be resisted by authentic Christians. Although many believers are comfortable in the U.S., these unauthentic and misguided Christians have been brainwashed with the false belief that the U.S. is different from other countries, standing as a defender of freedom and democracy. He goes on to say that the urban poor are suffering and that the true Christians would be doing something about this problem. He likens the suffering of the poor in America to the Nazi Holocaust. From this, he goes on to promote community organizing as the solution.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to help the poor - or actually helping the poor. Unfortunately, when government decides that everyone should help the poor, and redistributes the wealth accordingly, everyone loses. The true solution is education of the poor when it is possible to educate them. Tearing down America as Obama seems to be doing now is typical of socialist/communist regimes but has never succeeded in doing anything by bringing everyone down to the same low level. Nevertheless, the Gamaliel people present their communist philosophy as it has always been presented - as practical, pragmatic, and down-to-earth. What Gamaliel and others like them want is for the public as a whole to give funds to the government - and this power grab is framed as "personal responsibility".
ACORN members think of themselves as "oppositional outlaws" and "militants unafraid to confront the powers that be". But ACORN has a deeper dimension that is an agenda forwarded by successive baby steps so as not to awaken the frog that is being boiled. In 2005, the Washington, DC-based Center for Community Change released a report titled Promising Practices in Revenue Generation for Community Organizing. One of the authors was Jean Rudd, Obama's friend and the president of the Woods Fund during Obama's years on that foundation's board. Buried within the report lies the story of Obama's role in expanding the Woods Fund's financial support for groups like Gamaliel and ACORN.
Since the start of Obama's career as an organizer (actually it is still going on as an organizer of the United States), he was recognized as "a great analyst and interpreter of organizing". Obama became a Woods Fund board member and then the board chairman, serving as a key advocate of increased funding for organizing - as he is doing today with our public funds going to his communist organizations such as ACORN. With the Woods Fund, Obama chaired a committee of organizers that advised the Woods Fund on finances. Its report, Evaluation of the Fund's Community Organizing Grant Program is based on big names in Obama's personal organizer network. Greg Galluzo and other Gamaliel Foundation officials were consulted, as were several ACORN organizers. Madeline Talbott, and expert on ACORN's tactics of confrontation and disruption, was one of the consultants. The report holds up Gamaliel and ACORN as models for other groups and supports Talbott's call for "a massive infusion of resources to make organizing a truly mass-based movement."
Community organizers often use confrontation, intimidation, and civil disobedience in the service of their political goals (very much at odds to what is supposed to be a peaceful democratic republic). The Woods Fund was originally a highly respected foundation that consistently supported community organizing - and Obama sought to use their reputation to expand their finances and ACORN, which he used effectively in his political campaign and to aid in causing the economic crisis which actually allowed him to attain the Presidency.
[As an aside, ACORN today (July 1, 2009) is still under investigation, has been found to be as corrupt as suspected, is changing their name to escape further notice (the usual tactic of communist organizations), and is busy demonstrating and using excessive political pressure on lending organizations to force them to lend money, once again, to those who will not be able to pay back their loans (same modus operandi as before which was a major cause of the economic crisis). It seems strange that so many people can be so ignorant as to believe that Obama, ACORN, and the various Soros-connected organizations are merely misguided do-gooders. They are actually the epitome of evil in the world today.]
Obama's tactics as a communist mole in the Presidency are based upon Alinsky's overall teachings and the details for a strategy based upon incremental legislation often designed in collaboration with Gamaliel and ACORN. He claims to be a pragmatist rather than a communist, but he is using methods that come from Gamaliel. He was a trainer for Gamaliel and ACORN as well as means for them to gain federal funding - as he is still doing by means of the bills that are hastily being proposed by the legislature, unread and happily voted in by the the communist representatives and senators.
The gist of Obama's Wood Funds report is the shifting from local to larger organizing. Obama criticizes Alinsky for being excessively focused on local issues, complaining that he did not seek to fundamentally upset the distribution of power to the wider society. According the article in National Review by Stanley Kurtz, the ultimate goal of a the efforts of Obama, Gamaliel, ACORN, and their numerous allies, is the fundamental disruption of America's power structure, and economic redistribution along race, poverty, and gender lines.
[In my view, much more is at issue here. Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Gamaliel, ACORN and the like have made a mockery of democracy by cheating in every way possible during the election. Pelosi has run the communist/Democrat-dominated House like a petty dictator with secret meetings, legislation passed at odd times and with unsurpassed speed that is unread by either Democrats or Republicans, and successful efforts at lying about what is in those bills. The bankrupting beyond repair of the United States, the weakening of the U.S. military, the allowing of more illegal aliens to enter the U.S., the blaming of U.S.-made firearms for the violence in Mexico that the communists and jihadists either allow or cause to exist, the carbon emission legislation that is attempting ruin the lives of us all, the excessive tax on cigarettes which will steal food from the children of nicotine addicts - these things and many more - all are aimed at ruining the United States. The undereducated children and moronic older people that voted in the narcissistic psychopathic communist that some call our President may be responsible for putting the last nails in our coffins. Due to their own ignorance, they will ultimately pay the price after the rest of us are gone. Unless something changes for the better soon, these silly troglodytes may never know how they became serfs after the generations of freedom that preceded their downfall. But some of us still hope that a majority of us will awaken to the fact that we are being deliberately led by traitors into what will amount to a dark age of communist feudalism.]
According to the Constitution, Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. There is no doubt that war is being levied against us by the communists within our own borders. There was a time when spies and traitors were executed. Today, we are naive enough to elect them as our President, House Speaker, Senate Majority Leader, and holders of lesser offices in our own government.
The communist take-over of the United States has been done by stealth and subterfuge. Its perpetrators are either spies, traitors, or both. They are still a very definite minority, but they are a powerful minority as long the rest of us are unaware of their presence, their intentions, and their actions. They exist in strength in our political parties, but that is merely the last step that has come about as the result of their presence in our educational institutions, our media, and our bureaucracies. Many of them are simply puppets of the Shadow Party billionaires (have you ever wondered who the real brains are that work at the other end of Obama's teleprompter?). B.O. has a law degree from a communist-dominated institution. He has learned communist organizing and law - both are being used as a means of disruption rather than growth or healing. B.O. himself is ignorant of the things that matter - so he acquires those who are equally corrupt and greedy and who have learned other things. These are his advisors. But they are there for a different purpose than are most Presidential advisors. They advise B.O. what steps should be taken for the good of the United States so that B.O. can do the exact opposite. They then advise him as to whether or not he has succeeded in understanding how to do the worst possible thing - and how to disguise his actions as "good" for the United States. Even the most stupid of Americans wakes up in morning and notices what is around him. If you have not yet noticed, take a look at what is about to befall you because you were too stupid or too lazy to care.

Freedom First Foundation has the following to say about Obama.
Sarah Hussein Obama, Obama's paternal grandmother, has publicly and repeatedly stated that she was present at Obama's birth in Kenya and that he was born a Muslim.
Frank Marshall Davis, a lifelong Marxist, was Obama's first political mentor.
In 1991, Obama joined ACORN, a grassroots Marxist organization. In the 1990s, ACORN used Obama strategy to lead a national campaign to pressure banks to offer "subprime" mortgages to low-income families. This led to a housing market crash and the current global recession.
At least three of Obama's staff - Cynthia Miller, Jennifer Mason, and Shakir Mohammad - are Nation of Islam members, a racist Muslim sect led by its founder, Louis Farrakhan.
Bill Ayers is one of Obama's closest friends. Ayers was notorious for bombing federal buildings, including the Pentagon, and for the death of police officer. Ayers helped Obama launch his political career.
Obama campaigned for Raila Odinga, a Marxist and radical Islamist (insofar as such a thing is possible). Odinga planned to replace Kenya's Western style law with brutal Islamic Sharia law.
Khalid al-Mansour, an early mentor to Black Panther founders, Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, sponsored Obama's Harvard education and introduced Obama to Saudi sponsors of terror like Saudi King Abdulluh - the one to whom Obama bowed.
For his presidential staff, Obama has chosen Marxist zealots like John Holden, Carol Browner, and Cass Sunstein (who believes government has the right to monitor the Internet and to punish those who uses speech that the government finds "false or misleading.")
President Ronald Wilson Reagan
