DOES THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY STILL EXIST?

----------------------------------------------------------------

Nueces County, TX -- Solomon P. Ortiz Jr., son of Congressman Solomon P. Ortiz Jr, while serving as Democratic Chair of Nueces County both assisted and accommodated a fringe of organizers affiliated with the Socialist Party USA. The latter organization is a radical organization that calls for the “transformation” of U. S. Society from a Democratic Free Enterprise System into an arrant Socialist System.

Both minutes and emails exchanged by inner core members of the Socialist Party USA/ Socialist Party Texas reveal that the socialist camarilla had been planning the penetration of the Democratic Party in South Texas for a few years prior.

To make a long story short, this Socialist fringe (a triad -- John Kelley, Les Cassidy and Abel Cavada) in 2004 approached then-Democratic Chair Ortiz Jr. and announced that they were considering running a candidate (s) against his father Congressman Solomon P. Ortiz Sr. It was also pointed out that their party was dissatisfied with his father’s voting record such as this pro-war position (Iraq/Afganistan conflict) and with his position of being pro-NAFTA and pro-CAFTA.

Solomon P. Ortiz Jr. instead of “sounding the alarm” and warning the membership of the deceptive and hostile intentions of the socialist fringe which manifested itself at the time in the form of a TRIAD, instead “broke bread with them” and accommodate their abberant whims and schemes so to speak. He assisted them in forming a trojan horse political organization that is known today as the CORPUS CHRISTI PROGRESSIVE POPULIST CAUCUS (CCPPC). Ortiz Jr., even gave their organizational projects free publicty in the Democratic Website and even place a link to their website.

Abel Cavada, who has traveled to CUBA, is the current chairman of the organization and has a long history of being involved with radical socialist movements. Records show that Cavada and his wife Joy Miller Cavada (who is active with the organization also) submitted an application to join the Socialist Party of Texas. Please read it below:

“We are from Corpus Christi and travel to the valley weekly on business. Abel, is an attorney and I do all the rest, I am sure you know what that means… Abel, my husband was involved in La Raza Unida in his younger years. We are seeking to be involved again. We tried a group here in Corpus Christi, but they seem stuck in the Democratic box. We are wondering about your group.”

Addressed to: Steve Rossignol; Socialist Party of Texas, Sun Oct 16 11:21:55 EST 2005

Read carefully the phrase above – “they seem stuck in the Democratic box”; they are referring to Corpus Christi Progressive Populist Caucus. It eminates a disenchantement with the two party system and the slow process of system. The phrase also seems to be suggesting it is not radically exciting enough.

Mr. Cavada (that is, the entire TRIAD) also attended a State Convention of the Socialist Party of Texas last year to work on what has been defined as “mutual interests.” However, Cavada’s name does not appear in the roster; Kelley has let it be known in an internet posting.

The TRIAD even bragged at the cited meeting, official minutes reflect, how the CCPPC was working with the Socialist Party of Texas for “mutual aims.”

Last year, Ortiz Jr., announced that he would not be seeking office as Party Chair. Soon after, John Kelley (a member of the TRIAD) in an unorthodox move announced that he would be running for Democratic Chair post. He even received the informal endorsement of Ortiz Jr. as well as absorbed the endorsement so of the Coastal Bend Labor Council and even the Corpus Christi Police Officers Association.

Kelley lost, but a run off between Businessman Alex Garcia and Attorney Jerry Trevino remained. He used his former following as a negotional chip to barter with the two remaining candidates. Disenchanted, one day he began referring to then-run off candidate Alex Garcia a “Repubican” and a person “without backbone.” Subsequently, he scheduled a meeting with then-candidate Attorney Jerry Trevino and requested that Trevino’s campaign manager, Mike Chavez not be present. Kelley tried to barter with Garcia, requesting important appointments and concessions in return for his endorsement.

At this point in time, Mike Chavez let it know that Kelley (was part of a group) which had socialist leanings and was obviously attempting to penetrate the party. Kelley, fired back, claiming Chavez was a “racist” – adding that his participation in Hispanic Civil Rights Groups had clouded his judgment of Anglos. Kelley harped on the Karl Marx rhetoric that there was a “class war” going on, and that “ethnic struggles” were just delaying the inevitable.

Little did Chavez know about Kelley affiliation with persons and a specific fringe that was calling for a “reorganization” of U.S. Society away from Democratic Free Enterprise to arrant Socialism. However Chavez, an ex-military veteran had a “gut feeling” that would later not only enlighted but shock many a member of the Nueces County community.

After this incident, word began to trickle down into the grassroots community that there was a socialist fringe attempting to take over the regional Democratic Party. The question back then was: “What type of socialist movement is it? Is it working within the system or does it have implications of a total reconstruction of our society as we know it?”

Finally, Alex Garcia wins for office; however, Kelley (and the two other members of the TRIAD) have postured themselves with the party. Kelley via the help of Ortiz Jr. become the “informal Chair” of the Democratic Party. They have created a “soviet” circle effect – an organizational artifice used by the former Soviet Union in which important political matters and power orbits arounds a person or individual. The CCPPC, chaired by Cavada becomes the dominant political organization; however, it has been argued by some repeatedly, that within it an inner core (a TRIAD) exists that meets clandestinely and keeps the other members in the dark.

In fact recently John Kelley via an email to all the prospective advertisers claims that his group was responsible for Ortiz Jr.’s endorsement by the majority of the Democratic precinct chairs for District 33 State Represenative.

Many more organization are jumping into the TRIAD’s movement: Beach Access Coalition, Unity and Peace Movement, Anti-Recruitment efforts, some Anti-war activists, Labor groups.

Solomon P. Ortiz Sr. has also used his influence to help this core group advance their propaganda instuments such as their monthy paper WE THE PEOPLE and Radio Station (affilaited with Air America) here regionally. Prominent businessmen such as George Finley and CC Distributors have bankrolled their print editions, even though the anti-Free Enterprise, anti-Capitalism rhetoric, pro-abortion agenda is so glaringly obvious. Even the Texas Democratic Women organiztion led by Gloria Casares and Treasurer Barbara Cline have enrolled John Kelley and have even channelled thousands of dollars to the propaganda instument.

Progressive Populist Chair Abel Cavada announced in a local radio station that now the group is going to start targeting moderate Rebpublicans. The group claims to have enrolled at least 75 members.
