Communist Connections

Houston “Progressives”

According to James Thompson of the Communist Party USA paper People’s World:

Houston also has a strong union movement which is very progressive and is active in electoral politics. The city’s three Congress people Al Green, Gene Green and Sheila Jackson-Lee are at the forefront of the progressive struggle in the House of Representatives.

Stoney Cooks

In the mid-2000s, far left activist Stoney Cooks, served as Sheila Jackson-Lee’s Chief of Staff and Administrative Assistant.

In 1967, Cooks was one of forty-one Americans who traveled to communist Czechoslovakia to meet with representatives of the North Vietnamese communist government and the Viet Cong.

The American delegation included members of Students for a Democratic Society and other leftist groups. According to one participant, the meeting had been initiated by the North Vietnamese and the Americans “were expected not only to oppose the war in Vietnam but also to favor, on balance, an NLF (National Liberation Front) victory.”

Stoney Cooks was among the sponsors of a United States Preparatory Committee for the 10th World Festival of Youth and Students held during 1973 in East Berlin. The committee operated from the offices of the official youth front for the Communist Party USA and its promotional literature was printed by a firm characterized by the Attorney General of the United States as “reliably known to be owned by the Communist Party.”

“Progressive” Connections

Appeal for Redress

The Appeal for Redress held a press conference, on October 17, 2007, on Capitol Hill, in the Rayburn Building. The group of 2,050 active duty military members called on the U.S. Congress “to end the occupation of Iraq.” It also warned the “Bush-Cheney Gang” about “repeating the same mistake in Iran.” Sharing her views in support of the group’s goals was Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee. Sponsoring the event was the Institute for Policy Studies.

Take Back America

Jackson-Lee was a speaker at the March 2007, Take Back America Conference, which was hosted by the Democratic Socialists of America/Institute for Policy Studies affiliated Campaign for America’s Future in Washington, D.C.

Cuban Delegation

In February of 1999, six members of the United States Congressional Black Caucus visited Cuba to evaluate the United States-imposed embargo. Among the visitors were Maxine Waters and Barbara Lee of California, Julia Carson of Indiana and Sheila Jackson-Lee of Texas.

Committees of Correspondence/Aid to Vietnamese Communists

In November of 2007, two representatives of the communist government of Vietnam, Dr. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Phuong, a leading clinician/researcher on the effects of Agent Orange on women and children in Vietnam and another from Tu Du Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, visited Washington, D.C. on a Vietnam Agent Orange Public Health Tour.

Dr. Phuong, Vice President of the Vietnam Association for Victims of Agent Orange, toured Washington, D.C. and attended a conference where a policy of the socialist infiltrated American Public Health Association on Agent Orange (Vietnamese version) was passed in November of 2007.

Dr. Phuong was accompanied by Merle Ratner of the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism and Susan Schall, both leaders of the Committees of Correspondence-dominated Vietnam Agent Orange Relief & Responsibility Campaign.

The delegation met several members of Congress including John Conyers, Bob Filner and Sheila Jackson-Lee.

Dr. Phuong has held many senior positions in Vietnam’s communist government and was touring the USA under communist guidance to extract United States taxpayers’ money for the communist government of Vietnam.
