Panetta started in politics in 1966 as a legislative assistant to Republican, Senator Thomas Kuchel, the United States Senate Minority Whip from California, whom Panetta has called "a tremendous role model".[10] In 1969 he became the assistant to Robert H. Finch, Secretary of the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare under the Nixon administration. Soon thereafter he was appointed Director of the Office for Civil Rights.[11] Panetta chose to enforce civil rights and equal education laws.[citation needed] Secretary Robert Finch and Assistant Secretary John Veneman refused to fire Panetta, threatening to resign if forced to do so.[citation needed] A few weeks later in 1970, Panetta resigned and left Washington to work as Executive Assistant for John Lindsay, the Republican Mayor of New York City. He wrote about this experience in his 1971 book Bring Us Together." He moved back to Monterey to practice law at Panetta, Thompson & Panetta from 1971 through to 1976.[12] [edit] Congressional work Panetta switched to the Democratic Party in 1971, because he thought that the Republican Party was moving away from the political center.[citation

Reagan became President in 1980 with a Democrat Congress and obviously some Republicans out of tune with the work that Reagan had done in California to stem the tide of Communism. First, I was astounded as I read this------------according to the article Panetta was a part of the Congress that was in existence when Reagan was in office in 1983. That was a Congress not controlled by Republicans. According to the following article there was Panetta working in the 1980's to protect the communist in both Nicaraga and Grenada-----------Panetta had taken positions diametrically opposite to Reagan's goals of fighting communism. Beginning of Article attributed to Accuracy In Media in 2011 "These revelations fit smoothly with Panetta's history. In addition to this evidence, we have congressional hearings, information about a communist cell active in Santa Cruz, and Panetta's own record as a member of Congress, where he fought during the 1980s to protect communist advances in such countries as Nicaragua and Grenada and worked feverishly to undermine President Reagan's anti-communist foreign policy and military defense build-up. Incidentally, back then Panetta was a foe of CIA covert action to protect America's vital interests, which makes Obama's selection of him as CIA director even more interesting. According to veteran journalist Wes Vernon, DeLacy was not only a prominent member of the Communist Party USA, but also a personal contact of identified Soviet spies Solomon Adler and Frank Coe and accused spy John Stewart Service. In short, we have still more evidence that America's worst enemies have taken the helm. The full effects of what they are doing to our country won't become evident until after the next election." eon Panetta's Communist Ties Posted by Dave Blount at June 15, 2011 moonbattery.com America's Survival - Leon Panetta Security Risk ?
