LaRouche Candidate Kesha Rogers
Wins Democratic Primary in Texas!

On March 3, 2010, Democratic voters in the 22nd Congressional district in Texas gave a resounding victory to to Kesha Rogers, the LaRouche Democrat for Congress. According to the final tally, she received 52.3% of the vote, while her opponents, Doug Blatt and John Wieder, got only 27.7% and 20.0% respectively. Their vote total combined trails Kesha by almost 5%.

Kesha Roger's victory has sent an unmistakable message to the White House, and its British imperial controllers: your days are numbered, commented LaRouche's spokesman Harley Schlanger. “Kesha's campaign hit relentlessly at a single theme, that President Obama must go, that his attacks on this nation with his dismantling of the manned space program, his efforts to ram through a fascist, killer health care policy, his endless bailouts for Wall Street swindlers, while demanding budget cuts which will increase the death rates among the poor, the sick, the elderly and the unemployed are not acceptable, and will not be tolerated.”

Skeptics said that LaRouche's approach is unworkable, that Democrats would never support someone who is calling for the President's impeachment. The voters proved them wrong. As Kesha told the Galveston Daily News on election night, when a reporter asked if she expected support from the Democratic Party in the fall election: "I am leading a war against the British Empire. I'm not worried about what Democratic Party hacks say or do."

The arrogance of those hacks was evident in the statement issued by her losing opponent, Doug Blatt, who was endorsed by all the "official" Democratic clubs in the District and who presented himself as “the Democrat who doesn't want to impeach Obama”. He claimed that most voters simply didn't know who they were voting for, otherwise they wouldn't have chosen a LaRouche candidate.

“He is wrong”, Schlanger said. “The voters knew exactly what they were doing when they cast their ballots for Rogers. They saw Kesha and her campaign army every day. The LYM forces ruled the streets, walking the neighborhoods, taking an uncompromising message to the voters: This is your time to make history, to take this country back from the global speculators who are destroying everything precious to us. After we impeach Obama, we are going to implement the LaRouche Plan, beginning with a global Glass-Steagall, and full-funding for a Moon-Mars mission, as the essential science driver behind a major commitment to build the modern infrastructure this nation needs.

“And the voters responded, proving again, that courage and imagination will defeat immoral skepticism and cowardly capitulation.”
