Felicitaciones en una extraordinaria e histórica elección.
Podemos contemplar en las décadas pasadas que luchamos para obtener una meta estratégica que fuese bastante grande y amplia, y que abarcara las fuerzas laborales y los movimientos del pueblo para poder superar los obstáculos al progreso que habían sido fijados por la extrema derecha. El movimiento de todo el pueblo ha brotado y muestra una dinámica y el potencial de continuar desarrollándose.
La elección de Barack Obama y de un congreso fortalecido han creado nuevas condiciones en el país. Ahora existe la posibilidad de cambiar la dirección del país y de movernos hacia adelante. Este nuevo día requiere que ampliemos aún más nuestras tácticas para poder continuar y profundizar la unidad y el trabajo del pueblo.

Edwin Stanton, el incansable secretario de guerra en el gabinete del presidente Abraham Lincoln dijo al morir Lincoln, “Él pertenece a todas las épocas”. Casi lo mismo se puede decir de estas elecciones: Pertenece a todas las épocas.
Las elecciones retaron cosas que se pensaban verdad por muchos años, rompió récord el número que votaron, y rompió barreras que parecían invulnerables – de estas ninguna más históricas que la elección de un presidente afroestadounidense por primera vez. Y todo esto pasó con una campaña negativa que llamaba a lo peor del pueblo norteamericano. Pero, para crédito nuestro, repudiamos la política vieja de temor, división, palabras con significados racistas, ataques contra inmigrantes, y un llamado nostálgico a un tiempo y país que nunca existió...

Edwin Stanton, the
tireless Secretary of War in President Abraham Lincoln’s
cabinet said at the time of Lincoln’s death, “He belongs
to the ages.” Much the same can be said about this election.
The election challenged long-held assumptions, broke voter turnout records, and shattered seemingly unbreakable barriers – none more historic than the election of an African-American president for the first time. And all this happened in the face of negative appeals to the worst angels of the American people. But to our credit, we repudiated the old politics of fear, division, racial code words, red-baiting, immigrant bashing, and nostalgic appeals to a country and time that never were.

The National Committee of the Communist Party USA calls on all of those concerned about the economic crisis that has gripped our country and the world to unite and fight for the election mandate.
We hail the tens of millions who came to the polls and registered an historic defeat of the ultra right. These voters saw through the direct and indirect appeals to racism and voted for Obama. We salute those who rejected the Republican anti-communist, anti-immigrant attacks and numerous other slanders and voted their hopes and not their fears. Their votes represent the highest expression of patriotism.

The following motion passed at the NC meeting:
The specific issues and forms of struggle will vary in different places as the economic crisis deepens and spreads. Every club and district should work to build grassroots movements as the struggles unfold, and to build the Communist Party as an essential part of the working-class movement...

Congratulations on an extraordinary history making election!
We can think back with pride to decades of hard work toward our strategic goal of a big enough, broad enough and united enough labor and all-people’s movement that could overcome the ultra-right blockage to all progress. That all people’s movement has come to life, it is dynamic and it has the potential to keep growing.
