Democratic U.S. Senate Candidate Kesha Rogers, Shunned by County Democratic Party, Shares Message Locally

U.S. Senate Candidate Kesha Rogers is spending a few days in the Rio Grande Valley, spreading a message she shares with longtime political candidate and economist Lyndon LaRouche, that President Obama should be impeached immediately and Wall Street bankrupted with a reinstatement of the Glass-Steagall Act.  

"How is your call for Obama to be impeached accepted in the African-American community?" was my question to Rogers, herself a 37 year old African- American from Houston.

"Well, it's better accepted now, than at first.  Obama currently has a 37 per cent approval rating, so, many people are not happy with his performance as President," Rogers stated.  (Of course, among African Americans, that approval rating would likely be much higher.)

"Is Obama the first President you've wanted impeached?" I asked.

"Oh, no.  I called for the impeachment of George W. Bush and (Vice President) Dick Cheney," replied Rogers.

The articulate Ms. Rogers, a 2001 graduate of Texas State University, fielded questions with ease in our Wednesday morning interview.  Former Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy are her political heroes, because they fought against British imperialism.  She views British Queen Elizabeth, her husband Prince Philip and son, Prince Charles, as real threats to the United States.

When I stated that I viewed Queen Elizabeth as an old lady who drank tea and her husband, Prince Phillip, as a man who simply walked three steps behind her, Rogers whipped out a chart detailing the vast control of the old British empire. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, initially wanted a concord with Adolph Hitler, Rogers explained, but was persuaded by President Roosevelt to oppose Hitler's push to control Europe.

"Are there any of the teachings of Lyndon LaRouche with which you disagree?"  I asked.  Ms. Rogers pondered for a moment.  She was sure there were some areas of disagreement, but she couldn't think of any at that moment.  

Then, pointing to her husband, Ian Overton, and another associate, I asked:  "Do you ever disagree with these folks on political issues?"  

"We had a political disagreement just this morning," her husband stated.

Rogers states that Obama has been dismissive about technology available to destroy asteroids before they enter the earth's atmosphere.  Global warming, CO2 emissions into the atmosphere are not legitimate scientific issues in Roger's view.

Rogers, who Sunday gave "musical testimony" at a Brownsville church, is scheduled to appear at the monthly meeting of the local Tea Party at Antonio's Restaurant on Paredes Line Road at 6:30 PM Wednesday night.  

Efforts to meet with Cameron County Democratic officials have been rebuffed.  "Amber won't meet with me," stated Rogers, in reference to Cameron County Democratic Chair, Amber Medina.  Rogers suspected this was due to the influence of Gilberto Hinojosa, the Texas State Democratic Chair, who has tried to undermine the Rogers candidacy.

Rogers finished 2nd among 5 candidates in the Texas Democratic Primary March 4, 2014.  She faces millionaire David Alameel in the May 27 runoff election.
