Dear Comrades and Friends,

2005 is the year that the Communist Party USA will hold its 28th National Convention in Chicago, Illinois from July 1 to 3. The theme of this year's Convention is: The people can win! Defeat the Bush agenda! Build the CPUSA! The National Convention is the highest policy making body of our Party. Since February 2005 we have been engaged in the pre-convention discussions in which we have been examining our work and have been discussing the draft Main Political Resolution (which sets our policy course between conventions) and the Draft Program (which will project our long range policy). Both of the documents are available on line at www.cpusa.org or in hard copy upon request.

The time to evaluate the work of the District, to project our work for the comin period, to elect our delegation which will participate at the National COnvention is at the 28th District Convention.
