AMERICA FIRST PARTY OF MICHIGAN SUPPORTS CONGRESSMAN RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT:
The America First Party of Michigan enthusiastically supports the candidacy of Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) for President of the
Congressman Paul is the only candidate running for President who has both national visibility and recognition, and stands for the principles of limited government at home, and non-interventionism abroad, principles embraced by this Party. All other candidates, of all other parties, major or minor, either lack name recognition, embrace principles alien to the American system of government established by the Founders, are either Marxists or statists on the Left, or neo-conservative, big-government phonies on the “Right”, and are otherwise unworthy of the support of true constitutionalists who comprise the membership of the America First Party. Congressman Paul has demonstrated, time and again, by his voting record in Congress, not just his rhetoric, his devotion to true constitutional principles, the independence and sovereignty of the

AMERICA FIRST PARTY OF MICHIGAN PROTESTS MLK MEMORIAL
Whereas: Martin Luther King was a serial adulterer and liar,[i] and
Whereas: Martin Luther King was a proven shameless plagiarist,[ii] and
Whereas: Martin Luther King was a fellow traveler of Communist subversives, his organizations were staffed by Communists, his speeches were written by Communists, and his bills were paid by Communists,[iii] and
Whereas: Martin Luther King did more damage to the cause of race relations in the United States than any other figure during the second half of the twentieth century and the promoters of civil strife and division have created a veritable hell-on-earth, in this country, since the 1960’s, using “Dr.” King as their example and standard-bearer,[iv] and
Whereas: The America First Party of Michigan stands for genuinely peaceful relations between the races,
THEREFORE:
The America First Party of Michigan vigorously protests the construction of the proposed Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, on the National Mall, in Washington, D.C. next to the memorials of Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln, and scheduled for completion by April 4th, 2008, the 40th anniversary of King’s assassination, as a veritable desecration of hallowed ground. Congress has already appropriated ten (10) million dollars of taxpayers’ money towards this project, and we, the America First Party of Michigan, demand that it be halted immediately.
Furthermore; If a memorial must be built for King, let them remove the one already built for FDR, and place it, along with the one for King, on a separate mall, away from Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln, mark it a “mall for Traitors,” and have both be funded by liberal, pro-Communist traitors like the ones being honored. For: we are not sure whether Roosevelt’s treason at Pearl Harbor, in bringing the United States into what would become World War II, or King’s treason to the cause of race relations in the United States, which we believe he set back by 100 years, is greater.
[i] In his 1983 book, The FBI and Martin Luther King, Jr., investigative author David Garrow describes findings of an FBI investigation, ordered by then Attorney General Robert Kennedy, who was concerned about King’s habit of consorting with Communists. According to Garrow, the FBI learned that King was also involved with “embezzlement, employing prostitutes, alienating wives’ affections from their husbands, and violation of the Mann Act” (by taking women across state lines for immoral purposes). In 1989, the Reverend Ralph Abernathy, King’s successor as head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, published a memoir disclosing that King spent the night before he was killed in a sexual liaison with a female friend. (“Socialist Saint”, by William Norman Grigg, The New American magazine, February 11, 2002, page 38)
J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the FBI, once called Martin Luther King “the most notorious liar in the country”. (Please Don’t Help Glorify Martin Luther King, by Mrs. Julia Brown, 9 year member of the Communist Party in Cleveland OH, serving as an undercover operative for the FBI).
[ii] In his “I Have A Dream” speech, MLK appropriated Pastor Archibald Carey’s original summation from the 1952 Republican National Convention. King kept the theme and cadences of Carey’s speech, while altering some of the details. (“Socialist Saint”, by William Norman Grigg, The New American magazine, February 11, 2002, page 37)
Theodore Pappas, in his book Plagiarism And The Culture War, says on page two “As is clear in the first two volumes of The Papers of Martin Luther King, Jr., edited by Clayborne Carson, King plagiarized throughout his career as an undergraduate and graduate student. Those volumes contain carefully honed footnotes that expose King’s wholesale lifting of passages, large and small, on a scale so vast as to leave no room for excuse or exculpation.” (February 8, 2000 Minutes from the Ypsilanti Chapter of the John Birch Society, page 1)
Regarding MLK’s doctoral thesis: Theodore Pappas, in his book mentioned above, comments that King’s theft of another scholar’s work (Jack Boozer) “was an indefensible act that should warrant the revocation of his Ph. D.”
Boston University’ posthumous revocation of King’s doctoral degree addressed a long-standing academic outrage. (“Socialist Saint”, by William Norman Grigg, The New American magazine, February 11, 2002, page 37)
[iii] “Martin Luther King’s longtime advisor – and occasional speechwriter – was New York attorney Stanley Levinson, whom federal investigators identified as a Communist agent. Levinson arranged for King to hire Hunter Pitts O’Dell, a member of the National Committee of the Communist Party. In 1962 Attorney General Robert Kennedy warned King that Communist agents were manipulating King. In 1963, President John Kennedy reiterated this warning, offering a personal appeal to King to sever his ties to Levinson and O’Dell: ‘They’re Communists. You’ve got to get rid of them.’” (“Socialist Saint”, by William Norman Grigg, The New American magazine, February 11, 2002, page 39) & (“King’s Communist Connections”, by Fr. James Thornton, The New American magazine, August 17, 1998, page 41).
Levinson was introduced to King by Bayard Rustin, a former member of the Young Communist League, whereupon Levinson provided King with important fincancial, organizational, and public relations services. (“King’s Communist Connections”, by Fr. James Thornton, The New American magazine, August 17, 1998, page 41).
Coretta Scott King, King’s wife, lauded Levinson as a devoted and trusted friend of her husband and called his contribution to King’s work “indispensable” (“King’s Communist Connections”, by Fr. James Thornton, The New American magazine, August 17, 1998, page 41).
In January of 1987, this writer needed nine pages in Conservative Digest just to highlight major Communist/King connections. This topic is also covered in John Barron’s Operation SOLO, his 1996 book that describes a decades-long FBI operation inside the Kremlin, which also took note of Communists inside King’s entourage. (“Putdown for Helms, Pass for M.L. King, Jr., by William P. Hoar, The New American magazine, October 17, 2005).
Julia Brown, in her publication referenced above, made the following two statements:
- “I learned that several of his aides and assistants were Communists, that he received funds from Communists, and that he was taking directions from Communists.”
- “The [Communist] cells that I was associated with in Cleveland were continually being asked to raise money for Martin Luther King’s activities and to support his movement…I knew Martin Luther King to be closely connected with the Communist Party”.
Life magazine sharply criticized King’s anti-Vietnam War speech in New York City on April 4, 1967, as “a demagogic slander that sounded like a script for Radio Hanoi”. The editorial asked, “Is this the kind of man we should elevate to the same exalted status as the father of our country?” (“Heritage Foundation & Human Events make sharp left turn - Conservative paper Seeks Claim to M. L. King’s ‘Legacy’ ”, by Kevin Lamb, Middle American News, February 2006, page 10)
In November of 1983, Human Events published Sen. Jesse Helm’s speech of October 3, 1983, as an eight-page “special supplement” titled “The Radical Record of Martin Luther King”, which documented King’s communist affiliations and likely KGB connections. (“Heritage Foundation & Human Events make sharp left turn - Conservative paper Seeks Claim to M. L. King’s ‘Legacy’ ”, by Kevin Lamb, Middle American News, February 2006, page 10)
In 1983, shortly after Congress approved the bill which would create a national holiday honoring the late civil rights activist Martin Luther King, former New Hampshire Governor Meldrim Thomson sent a letter to his old friend Ronald Reagan, urging the President not to sign the bill for a holiday honoring "the memory of a man of immoral character whose frequent associations with leading agents of communism is well established."
In response to Thomson, the President wrote: "On the national holiday you mentioned, I have the reservations you have, but here the perception of too many people is based on an image, not reality. Indeed, to them the perception is reality." (Emphasis in original.) In other words, Mr. Reagan knew that Martin Luther King was, in reality, unworthy of national adulation. Nonetheless, on November 2, 1983, he put his signature on the bill and the holiday became law. (“Honoring The King Myth”, by John McManus, The New American magazine, January 4, 1999).
In a conversation with black militant Stokely Carmichael, King referred to “our Viet-Cong comrades-in-arms” (Congressional Record, May 16, 1968, p. E4311)
[iv] “….I also believe that Mr. King was one of the worst enemies my people ever had….when someone served the enemies while alive, and his name is still used by his comrades to promote anti-American activities, shouldn’t people who know the truth speak out?... Communist leaders told us about the demonstrations that would be started, the protest marches, the demands that would be made for massive federal intervention. Every Communist was ordered to help convince American Negroes that we are no better off than slaves. Wherever we went and whatever we did, we were to promote race consciousness and resentment, because the Communists know that the technique of divide and conquer really works.” - Julia Brown - Please Don’t Help Glorify Martin Luther King, by Mrs. Julia Brown, who, again, was a 9 year member of the Communist Party in Cleveland OH, serving as an undercover operative for the FBI).
Syndicated black columnist Carl Rowan wrote that King "has alienated many of the Negro’s friends and armed the Negro’s foes”.
The Communist press, Political Affairs, extolled King’s violence-producing marches and demonstrations, events that customarily led to property damage and loss of life in black neighborhoods.
In October 1988, J. A. Parker of the Washington-based Lincoln Institute, an organization of Black conservatives, refused to buy into the phony image of King and pointed to evidence showing that King had been “under communist discipline.” Parker insisted that the “King holiday is an insult to all Americans – black or white.” He launched a drive to have Congress repeal it. (“Honoring The King Myth”, by John McManus, The New American magazine, January 4, 1999).
