In our previous post connecting the targets of recent FBI terror-related search warrants to Barack Obama’s New Party, we noted Gateway Pundit’s reporting on the connections of at least one of those targets to SEIU.
Now another one of the targets of the FBI subpoenas, Thomas Burke, is connected to the same SEIU local as Joseph Iosbaker!
Tom Burke, who held the registration to the website FRSO.org (Freedom Road Socialist Organization) until it was made anonymous, was also on the executive board of SEIU Chicago Local 73.

Moreover, the group that filed the complaint, the National Right to Work Foundation (NRWF), did not receive a full explanation of the FEC’s decision in the case until after 111 days had passed, ensuring that its right to file an appeal had lapsed…

Update: from KeyWiki, Terror Suspects were Active in Obama’s Socialist “New Party”
Cross-posting from the New Zeal blog
On September 24, about 20 FBI agents spent most of the day searching the Logan Square residence of Chicago activists Stephanie Weiner and her husband, Joseph Iosbaker, reports the Chicago Tribune.

The New Party was an electoral alliance dedicated to electing leftist candidates to office-usually through the Democratic Party. It dissolved in 1998. Three organizations formed the backbone of the New Party – theDemocratic Socialists of America, the U.S.’s largest marxist organization,ACORN and radical labor union SEIU. Also heavily involved were theCommunist Party USA breakaway group Committees of Correspondence and far left “think tank” the Institute for Policy Studies.
Obama not only worked closely with these New Party candidates, he himself was a both a member of the New Party and its parent organization Progressive Chicago. New Party News Spring 1996 page 1, celebrated the Danny K. Davis’s Congressional victory and went on to say;
- “New Party members won three other primaries this Spring in Chicago: Barack Obama (State Senate), Michael Chandler (Democratic Party Committee) and Patricia Martin (Cook County Judiciary)…”these victories prove that small ‘d’ democracy can work’ said Obama”…
