EL Defenzor.net: Why was CCPPC affiliated with the Socialist Party USA, the most radical of socialists that we know

Where is Abel Cavada, the coward... who made me join the Progressive Populists?

I, an ex Progressive Populist Member, want some answers from Abel Cavada, its chairman. He told me it was nothing radical and he was as mainstream as anyone can be. Why was he affiliated with the Socialist Party USA, the most radical of socialists that we know.

Les Cassidy, a local member of the Populists here is a state executive member of the Socialist Party of Texas. He sits in a committee in the CCPPC and has explained the group’s rationale and support for Ortiz Jr. as a Democratic candidate for State Representative. Cassidy wrote on the South Texas Chisme Blog: “As for Mr. Ortiz, when he was County Chair, he was receptive to the formation of the PPC (Progressive Populist Caucus) within the party. He was aware that the PPC was opposed to his father's prior support for the war in Iraq and the Bankruptcy reform bill, but as the County Chair he was more concerned with building and expanding the party than in seeking allegiance to his father's political career.” (Note: visit stxc.blogspot.com).

Currently the Corpus Christi Progressive Populist Caucus (CCPPC) and its the main steering committee is headed by a local attorney Abel Cavada who has history of being involved in socialist causes and writing many a exulting article on such deep-seated socialists/communists “heros” as the late Emma Tenayuka (the former Chairman of the American Communist Party of Texas); recently he wrote one defining Hugo Chavez, the President of Venezuela, a man who models himself after Cuba’s Comandante Fidel Castro, as “a true progressive populist” (visit www.larazaunida.com and click on the link entitled Venezuela’s Bolivarian Revolution). In this article, Cavada talks about his fascination with the Venezuelan “circles” (or Russian Marxist-like “soviets”).

Additionally, below please find a letter of intent submitted by Abel and Joy Cavada in joining the Socialist Party USA:

“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. We are also, interested in the rumor of you running for Congress.”

Joy M. Cavada you are so fake. Maybe you need to give your hubby a bottle of viagra.

He will feel better if he steps up to the plate; out of the hole of abulia and into the light of truth. One cannot serve two masters. Reminds him of the words of Emiliano Zapada: "I would rather die on my feet than remain in my knees." He cited that once.

She feels constrained by the "democratic box"
