June 16, 2007 (LPAC)--The Franklin Roosevelt Legacy Democratic Club's monthly meeting on June 14 was characterized by renewed optimism, political outreach, and collaboration with Democratic Party and labor leaders of the state. The meeting was held on June 14, following Lyndon LaRouche's videoconference webcast, which featured LaRouche with Agustin Rodriguez of STUNAM (Trade Union of Workers of the national Autonomous University of Mexico), and Yasmir Farina of FENAFUCH (Federation of University of Chile Employees) and featured dialogue on the webcast with two Calfornia Democratic Party leaders.
Quincy O'Neal, chairman of the Franklin Roosevelt Legacy Democratic Club (FDRLC), and Vice Chairman of the California State African American Caucus of the Democratic Party opened the meeting by announcing that the guest speakers Darren Parker, the Chairman of the African American Caucus, and Daniel McCrory, a friend of Parker, and candidate for the 40th assembly district of California, were going to respond to LaRouche's historic webcast.
After viewing LaRouche's opening and closing remarks, McCrory, who also belongs to the Communications Workers of America union (CWA), responded to the remarks made on globalization by LaRouche and Rodriguez, saying that what was covered by the two, was very scary; and most of his remarks reflected union views on opposing Free Trade, NAFTA, etc. But, McCrory was unable to respond to whether he would support a new global financial system.
It was obvious that McCrory and Parker were friends, by the way they both playfully interrupted, rebutted, and one-upped one another, with Parker interrupting McCrory during his response to a question about the impotence of the Democratic party, following November 7th elections, to quote from LaRouche's January 11th webcast answer to a new Freshman Caucus member, saying that the future of the Democratic party lay with the LYM's New Politics.
Once Darren Parker was introduced, he very openly and bluntly declared his affection and respect for Quincy, as the youngest Vice-Chair of a State Democratic Caucus in California history.
