&lt;div class=&quot;Section1&quot;&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Dear friend,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;For thirty years the far right has
dominated American
political life. Conservative media institutions like Fox News have been
key to
their domination.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cpusa.org/donate&quot;&gt;While the big
corporations and the mega-rich
back the rightwing media, the Communist Party depends on working people
like
you to support its work.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Now after the Bush Administration has screwed up
the country
and the world with its economic policies and disastrous wars, the right
wing
wants to blame everybody but themselves for the mess we’re in.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;For weeks now, right-wing bloggers and
talk shows have been
trying to paint President Barack Obama as a socialist in order to scare
people away
from his policies. And they have been telling lies about the Communist
Party
USA as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Yesterday, Communist Party National
Chairman Sam Webb
accepted an invitation onto conservative television host Glenn Beck’s
Fox News show
in order to give our side of the story.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;a
href=&quot;http://www.cpusa.org/article/articleview/1026/1/27/&quot;&gt;Watch
the full video on our website.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.cpusa.org/ezimagecatalogue/catalogue/variations/191-400x500.png&quot;&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Sam held his own against Beck despite
being cut off
repeatedly and other gimmicks. Beck’s claim that Hitler was a socialist
doesn’t
hold up to common sense and neither is the idea that “big government”
is the
source of our problems. Obviously Beck and Fox aren’t all that
interested in a
real discussion about the country’s problems.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;As Sam said on the show, “This country
has been brought to
its economic knees because the policies of the Bush Administration and
Wall
Street.” You don’t have to be a communist to agree with that.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cpusa.org/donate&quot;&gt;Help the Communist
Party spread the word
about the roots of the crisis in our country and the solutions for
working
people. Give today.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Communist Party&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br&gt;

roughly 150 people – which shows the tremendous potential of the&lt;br /&gt;
program.  Clubs and districts are encouraged to continue to reach&lt;br /&gt;
out to friends and supporters for contributions, and to hold local fund&lt;br /&gt;
raising events.&lt;a href=&quot;http://cpusa.org/donate&quot;&gt;Donate here &lt;/a&gt;</description>
