Beating Kesha Rogers - Congressional District 22
Email I was forwarded by my Precinct Chair (south of Houston - precinct 60 now)
By Chairman Steve Brown
What if I told you that a candidate in the Democratic Primary would like to have President Barack Obama impeached? What if I told you that she’s a thirty-something, photogenic and articulate African American woman? Finally, what if I told you that two years ago she actually won the Democratic nomination for Congressional District 22, and went on to enter the general election by viciously attacking our President? If you are not already aware of this person, then let me introduce you to Kesha Rogers.
Rogers is a member of a political cult led by Lyndon LaRouche. LaRouche’s main goal is to elect Members of Congress who will advocate for the colonization of the moon, the impeachment of President Obama, and the restoration of an obscure 1933 banking standard.
Over the years, this cult has joined forces with a number of unseemly and racially divisive organizations, like the Ku Klux Klan.
In fact, LaRouche himself has been known to spew anti-sematic and racist views throughout the years. In newsletters he wrote in 1973 and 1974, he characterizes Black women as “sadistic,” and young Black men as “zombie killers out of control.” LaRouche’s racism isn’t just limited to African Americans. He refers to Asians as “subhuman” and Hispanics as “miserable.”
However, he saves a great deal of his venom to vilify President Barack Obama. In 2009 he compared Pres. Obama to a trained monkey by stating, “And we have a dictatorship in the United States…under a President who doesn't have much conscience, because he doesn't have any brains. He's trained to talk like a trained monkey or something out of a mechanical zoo."
Rogers has adopted this type of hate speech in her current campaign. In a recent YouTube clip on her website, she suggests that Pres. Obama’s doctor should, “administer some pentothal of sodium” on him. Pentothal is an ingredient commonly used in lethal injections.
I hope and trust that the appropriate federal authorities are keeping a close watch on this cult, as any insinuations about the assassination of our President should be handled with the utmost urgency and seriousness,especially by those who not only wish him harm but hold other dangerous ideas.
As Democrats, we cannot afford for anyone representing LaRouche’s cult to be a nominee on the Democratic ballot. A Rogers’ victory on May 29 is not only a distraction for those of us working hard to re-elect President Obama, but it also hurts our local, qualified candidates who need a surge in straight-ticket voting during the general election. Everyone, from judicial candidates to state representatives, should be concerned about sharing the Democratic slate with Rogers.
Voters in Congressional District 22 have a choice. KP George is running against Rogers on a platform to work with Pres. Obama on improving the economy, keeping our shores safe and providing health care for all. KP is the only Democrat in this race, and he’s ready to serve.
So, why would Rogers choose to align with LaRouche? I can’t say. Perhaps you should ask her if you ever meet her.
But as Texas Democrats, we must develop protocols to ensure that “Democratic” imposters don’t find their way on our ballot. By doing so, we protect the integrity of the Democratic primary while also ensuring that our voters don’t become fooled by candidates that don’t represent their interests.
In the meantime, we can use this election to send a message to any future LaRouche candidate by convincingly defeating Kesha Rogers on May 29, 2012. Our President would appreciate it.
Steve Brown is the Chairman of the Fort Bend County Democratic Party.

Look, I've been voting Dem even before inmate Tom DeLay was in 22.
I thought Richard Morrison's campaign was the most exciting parade ever, but Tom was still going strong.
When Lampson won, we were all excited till he got a little disconnected from local Dems but he was still there fighting for issues that concerned us. In all these good Dems campaign, I've never seen the youth support that KP has.
KP's plan is to run on anti-corruption (big surprise--Delay District), conservative Dem, and very grassroots platform. If I had to guess KP has the largest youth based campaign team in the US, but at least for sure in TX. Good social networking interaction too: [link:http://www.facebook.com/kpgeorgeforcongress| All he needs is more money now...
I think if we win the immigrant & Asian vote, KP's going to take it from Pete. Hopefully extremist teabagger Carlson wins though...would make his job much easier.
I think I will find time to work that into my day.

LaRouche is a major anti-Semite and blames Jews and Jewish financial interests for the world’s problems. LaRouche has sued the ADL twice once in the 1970s and again in the 1980s for pointing out that LaRouche is an anti-Semite and the ADL won both cases.
Kesha is upset with the signs that point out that she is not a Democrat and is call KP George an anti-Semite. http://twitter.com/#!/KeshaRogersTX22/status/202542635901124609/photo/1
My opponent's idea of debating the issues is to use libel. Really KP? Anti-Semite? You should be ashamed #electkpgeorge
:large
Kesha has a very strange definition of anti-Semite and anti-Semitism. The fact that Kesha is so upset by these pictures make me smile. I am going to be picking up one of these yard signs tomorrow night
Susan Bankston does the Juanita Jean blog and has been having fun with Kesha. Kesha has been attempting to hide the "Kesha Rogers is not a Democrat" signs http://juanitajean.com/2012/05/20/kesha-rogers-is-a-silly-little-girl/
I told you about the signs her opponent had made that say she’s not a Democrat. I wanted them to say that she’s the Fairy Princess of Cultville, but he wouldn’t do that.
Little Bubba went up to vote last Friday and saw that Kesha and her Band of Bozos had placed her poll signs in an odd position. She moved her signs to place them directly in front our our signs.
The signs about Kesha not being a Democrat has upset Kesha. I am not sure why Kesha is upset. Kesha's own signs state that she is for the impeachment of President Obama and so most people are not going to confuse Kesha with being a democrat. This race is going to be fun to watch and Susan is having a great deal of fun with Kesha's antics.
but I'll check KT's facebook page again. I have kids, dogs, and a husband who works all the time so it is not as easy to get out as you would think. But, if I were able to make some calls during the day (especially from home) I may be able to help out. I did do some in 2008 for Obama - even door to door which was much easier when my youngest was still in a stroller
up here and thought we'd like to hear about impeaching Obama. Nutcase LaRouchies ... 
how did your day go as election judge? The only time I was ever involved was during the 2008 primary. I served as co-captain for Precinct 58 and worked the caucus, etc. Really interesting and glad I did it. I usually shy away from actual involvement so that was a big step for me I will volunteer for Obama again this fall.
