Transcript: Kesha Rogers Victory Statement

The following is a victory statement issued by Kesha Rogers, member of the LaRouche national candidates slate, and now the 2012 Democratic Nominee for Congress in the 22nd District of Texas. The full video -- a message to her supporters -- which she recorded following her victory on Tuesday, May 29, can be viewed on her website www.kesharogers.com

Hello everyone, this is Kesha Rogers, LaRouche Democrat for Congress, and your nominee for the 22nd Congressional District of Texas. I want to thank each and every voter and the supporters who came out yesterday, in the Texas primary, to join with me in issuing a decisive blow to the party hacks, Obama, and the British Empire, that we will not be defeated! Throughout this campaign, people have stood by this fight, and have continued to wage the war that has to be waged, that the American people will not sit by any longer, as they're watching our Constitution and our nation be destroyed, by the likes of Obama and his British and Wall Street financial backers.

What you signified yesterday, in voting for me, is paving the way for our National Slate of candidates throughout the United States to continue to push forth the very vital solutions that are needed at this very moment in time, as the entire financial system is headed toward a total disintegration. As we continue to watch the breakdown and meltdown of the euro system, and the continued drive toward austerity and chaos, throughout Europe and throughout the United States, as Obama continues to bail out the Wall Street financial interests, what you said on yesterday, is that "Obama must go now!"

This is sending a clear message to the White House, and we have to continue the job.

The solutions have been threefold, and continue to be the only solutions that are viable for us to fight for at this given time: That we must end the Wall Street bailouts, with the drive and reinstatement of Glass-Steagall banking reorganization, modeled on Franklin Roosevelt; a credit system, of our U.S. Constitution, so that we can move forward on the development of high, science-driver technological progress, and creation of NAWAPA XXI, for millions of productive jobs.

This is what you stood for on yesterday, and I want to thank all of those who have written into my website, everyone from across the United States, everyone from across the world, who knows that this is not just a fight for the citizens and the voters of the 22nd Congressional District of Texas, this is not just a victory for the 22nd Congressional District of Texas, this is a victory that is sending ringing shocks around the world, that our National Slate is committed to the defeat of this British Empire, and committed to the defeat of the system of monetarism, that's continuing to destroy the sovereignty of nation-states.

With that, as we know, right now, Obama and his British backers, and NATO are destined to move toward, in the midst of this collapse, a strike on Syria. We must make it clear, right now, and I'm standing here to make it clear, that there must not be any moves toward a military strike or military action towards Syria! This must be stopped now, and the way we are going to do this, is by making sure that the moves to dump Obama, to get Obama out of the White House are made now, that the 25th Amendment, Section 4 of our U.S. Constitution, or impeachment, must be our next step.

Once this is done, we can then start to move toward the actual policies of collaboration, of sovereign nation-states, so that a policy toward war would be thrown out, and a policy toward development and collaboration around a mission-orientation for mankind must be our fight. This is not going to happen as long as Obama and his British backers are driving toward thermonuclear war.

So, as you can see, we have a lot of work to do: The fight has just begun. Before November, we have to make it clear, that Obama and his Wall Street backers are done. We have to make it clear to everyone, that despite everything that the party hacks of the local party tried to do to stop us and to suppress the vote, keep you from coming out to vote, and continuing to push lies and slanders against everything we represent, we have shown them that we will stand in the face of the enemy, and we will continue to fight for these policies.

I want to thank you once again, and we will continue to wage the fight on the front lines, and we'll see you there.

Thank you.

"Impeachment Candidate" Kesha Rogers Victory Invigorates Drive Against Obama

May 31, 2012 • 12:12PM

The failure of the Obama campaign team to demoralize all Texas Democrats, as demonstrated by the victory by LaRouche Congressional slate member Kesha Rogers on May 29, points to an enhanced potential for both the sudden removal of the President from the Oval Office, and the reintroduction of Glass-Steagall banking standards. When briefed on Kesha's victory Wednesday morning, Lyndon LaRouche said that this is an opportunity for us to "press our advantage," as we have been right about him. He is evil, and is destroying the nation.

"Look what his campaign did in Texas, engaging in voter suppression," LaRouche said, noting that they are destroying what's left of their own base of support. He added, "While most Texas Democrats ought to be ashamed that they tolerate such evil, at least some [those who voted for Kesha, and gave her the victory] emerged with their dignity."

LaRouche said that we now must move more aggressively to get Obama out, as he is committing the U.S. to military action in Syria, which will lead to a thermonuclear confrontation with Russia. Kesha Roger's victory in Texas is an important signal, that Obama's days are numbered, and that he can be removed before he destroys civilization.

On the subject of vote suppression, it should be noted that Eric Holder's Department of Justice, aka, the Holder Posse, sent a team of DOJ officials, allegedly to monitor the polls in Fort Bend and Harris County, to guard against "voter intimidation." They said they were responding to rumors that the "King Street Patriots," a right-wing group, had engaged in intimidation in 2010, and might do so again. There were no reported incidents. The real voter intimidation was done by the Obama Democrats, in convincing voters — especially African-American voters — to stay home. The point of their dirty smears and campaign tactics against Kesha Rogers was to prevent African-Americans from voting for Kesha.

While the reverberations from Kesha's win are just beginning, there are two immediate results. In Texas, there is much discussion, from the haters, as well as from some true patriots. From the haters, there is an obvious deflation, with one moaning that she has a hangover, even though she drank nothing last night. After a string of nasty attacks against Kesha during the campaign, she is now turning on Kesha's opponent, the hapless K.P. George, accusing him of losing because he "has a big ego."

One of the more important Democratic email lists in the state ran the Executive Intelligence Review editorial, "Kesha Rogers Wins Again (http://larouchepac.com/node/22871)", with a note attached calling on Democrats to recognize that it is time to dump Obama. A leader of the Texas Veterans Caucus, who is a labor lawyer, called in to Rogers' campaign office to congratulate Kesha. This win is just in time, he said, as he agrees that we are facing new wars, including the potential for a nuclear war. He reported that many of the old generation of San Antonio Hispanic Democrats, who dumped Hillary Clinton in '08 and went along with Obama, were voted out in city-wide elections this year, replaced by younger "progressive," i.e., anti-Obama, Democrats. A former county chair, who was a Hillary supporter, and has defended Kesha Rogers in the past against the Obama Party, said, "The second time must be even more sweet for you. I tried to warn them not to mess with Kesha." He said that the anti-Kesha "Get-Out-The-Vote" operation never got off the ground, and that there is no love for Obama among labor in Texas.

And nationally, Kesha Rogers' victory was immediately tweeted from coast-to-coast, especially by recently rejuvenated former Hillary networks. The Hillary2012 network retweeted the LPAC posting of the EIR Editorial on Kesha to more than 120,000 recipients, and a very active Occupy Wall Street grouping agreed to work to get out votes for another member of the LaRouche National Slate, candidate Diane Sare in New Jersey (http://dianesare.com/), after making an effort for Kesha. Diane Sare's primary is coming up next Tuesday, June 5th. One activist sent out a tweet which said, "Obama took a big hit in Texas, let's give him another in NJ."

Kesha Rogers has released a victory statement, available on her website www.kesharogers.com, reasserting the urgency of removing Obama and getting Glass-Steagall implemented, before the financial system implodes.
