The lone vote in the House of Representatives opposing military action in response to the terrorist attacks on the U.S. has a long history of associations with Communist Party and extremist groups and individuals, WorldNetDaily investigations show. ..."
"...The San Francisco paper Lee represented in Cuba was edited at the time by the late Carlton Goodlett. On April 22, 1970, Goodlett received the Lenin Peace Prize in Moscow. It was quite an affair -- attended by Leonid Brezhnev and other party notables. The date marked Lenin's 100th birthday.
Until 1956, the Lenin Prize was called the Stalin Stipend. The name was changed only after Nikita Khruschev denounced mass murderer Josef Stalin at the 20th Party Congress in Moscow. It was not just an honorary award for promoting the cause of world Communism and Soviet hegemony. The prize was established in 1928 as the socialist rival to the Nobel Prize and paid its recipients amounts ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 rubles.
When Goodlett returned with his cash, he proceeded to file as a candidate for governor of California in that year's election. He also bankrolled the first big election bids of former California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown and Dellums.
In October 1997, a Freedom of Information Act request was filed with the FBI. It sought information about Goodlett, particularly with respect to the Lenin Prize and about his backing of Dellums. A few weeks later, Dellums surprised virtually everyone on Capitol Hill, throughout his district and across the nation by resigning in the middle of his two-year term...."
"...The votes in the House and Senate were remarkable for their gravity, urgency and absence of opposition or even debate. Discussions took a mere five hours and the final vote was 420 to 1.
"There must be some of us who say, let's step back for a moment and think through the implications of our actions today -- let us more fully understand its consequences," Lee said. "Far too many innocent people have already died."
The Senate passed the appropriations bill unanimously, 97-0, with three abstentions, Sens. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., and Barbara Mikulski, D-Maryland."
