BBB:Jesse Jackson's Communist Platform

   Very few Americans are aware of the fact that Gus Hall, former
president of the Communist Party in America, has officially approved of
the Democratic platform, not only in 1988 and 1989, but as far back as
1963, he set up Jesse Jackson's platform. We quote Gus Hall from
Straight Talk, vol. 53, no. 16, April 21, 1988.

   Gus Hall says, "What is needed is a system of basic federal laws
that will apply and supercede all state laws.

   "(1) Reapportionment of all electoral districts on the basis of
population.

   "(2) A federal law protecting the right of labor to organize and to
strike and to use its finances and strength in political campaigns.

   "(3) A federal law that will remove special privileges for monopoly.

   "(4) A federal law prohibiting discrimination or segregation.

   "(5) A federal minimum wage law.

   "(6) A uniform federal system of unemployment insurance and old age
benefits.

   "(7) A federal law RESTRICTING THE USE OF CITY AND STATE POLICE."

   That socialistic program put forth by the former president of the
Communist Party in 1963 is almost word-for-word what Jesse Jackson is
now saying while he is "stumping" up and down the country. Americans
now see a genuine Communist on the ballot.
