You state that the Socialist National Committee ("the committee") is the national committee of the Socialist Party of the United States of America ("Socialist Party").

Also, reports filed by the Committee with the Commission indicate that the Committee has made coordinated expenditures totalling more than $1,000. The Act defines "national committee" as "the organization which by virtue of the bylaws of a political party, is responsible for the day-to-day operation of such political party at the national level." 2 U.S.C 431(14).

    Close to Home Yale Daily News Magazine, February 2012 cover BY SARAH MASLIN Tuesday, February 21, 2012 “Afghanistan doesn’t deserve to be in the U.N.,” he said on the third day of class. “It’s too primitive.” All the heads in the room turned to look at the girl in the hijab. She had her head down, scribbling notes, but she felt their eyes watching her, waiting for her to blow up or burst into tears. Wazhma Sadat said nothing. Though her classmates didn’t know it, a battle was unfolding inside her head. Should she say something, or remain silent? She knew she couldn’t stop herself from getting upset: “When somebody says something about Afghanistan not knowing enough about it, I know that by not saying anything, I’m not doing it justice,” she said later. Sadat is the only Afghan student at Yale. “But,” she added, “I can’t say things without hiding my emotions.” During class that day, as she struggled to control her anger, Sadat remembered her childhood in Kabul. While her classmates argued about nuclear warfare, she remembers thinking to herself, “Do people know what they mean when they talk about people dying? Or is it just numbers for them, is it just video games?” When Sadat first saw video games where the goal was to “Kill Talibs,” she was horrified. “Maybe they haven’t seen people dying,” Sadat thought. She has. The struggle to hide her emotions, Sadat says, evoked powerful memories. Sadat spent much of her childhood hiding: in basements during rocket blasts, in an unfamiliar country to escape the Taliban, in a U.S.
