INTRODUCTION

Sam’s report lays out the extraordinary democratic struggle engulfing our country, and challenges us as Communists to make our contribution to the forward motion of our class and people.

The unprecedented voter turnout in the Democratic primaries reflects excitement at the possibility of the first African American or the first women President. Even more, participation in the primaries is being driven by the desire to pull the country out of Iraq, out of the economic crisis, out of the health care crisis, out of concern for immigrant rights, and out of the nightmare conditions in the country after three decades of ultra-right corporate power.

Millions of voters are making the connections between spending on the war and their own economic well-being. This election presents an historic opportunity to breakthrough and change the political landscape.

The grand coalition of the AFL-CIO and Change to Win along with National Council of La Raza, Women’s Vote, ACORN, MoveOn and Rock the Vote has launched the biggest ever independent voter mobilization, which is at the heart of winning a massive turnout on election day and after.

The purpose of this report is to discuss how we contribute to the remarkable movement growing in our country, how we can help build the unity needed to defeat the ultra-right with a landslide vote, and how we can build the movement and the Communist Party and YCL to achieve bold and sweeping gains in the post-election period.

LANDSLIDE

Mobilizing a landslide win against the ultra right, necessary to turn the country around, is at the center of our tactics.

The severe damage from three decades of policy rooted in super exploitation and world domination will not be easy to reverse. A token recovery package will not lift working people out of the economic crisis that is crashing down around us. A massive voter turnout in November is needed to provide a strong enough mandate for a completely new set of policies..
