Oh Murphy!
I will post this here on this new thread- sorry I posted in the other thread too.
Just wanted to give heads up: Check out this RNC Ad that just came up. And this is mild compared to what is going to happen…the sleeping giant (extreme right wing) has been in slumber but is about to wake up and fight. We had a great woman warrior- battle tested and ready to fight for us. Who does our Party send into the ring? The Jr. Apprentice!!!
Here’s the RNC ad:

Please, everyone, let’s start organizing ourselves while Murphy is dong the 1,000 Reasons letters. If you are from AL GA FL please email me at shortermerpuma@gmail.com.
“In a CNN poll released Friday, 60 percent of Clinton supporters said they would vote for Obama, but 17 percent said they would vote for McCain and 22 percent, said they would not vote at all if Clinton were not the nominee”.
So with 18 million votes. That puts it…
17% = 3,060,000 votes 3 million+ for McCain
22% not voting,= 3,960,000 votes about 4 million Not voting.
added together
3,060,000 + 3,960,000 = 7,020,000 votes NOT going to obama.
I HOPE THAT ENCOURAGES MOST OF YOU… Your NOT ALONE!
Oh, I forgot to mention California has the marriage act bill on the ballot this year, the last time that happened THERE WAS A HUGE TURN-OUT of ? God fearing voters, (don’t know what to call them) so alot of REPUB”S and DEMS that are for that, which resulted in HUGE REPUB votes… SO experts are watching cali for it to possibly turn into a RED 55 State for McCain this year as all the voters come out of the wood-work to vote for marraige act and they will also vote for McCain… LOOK IT UP! no one is talking about tis but a few so-called expert election type people, and most agree if cali does go RED it really does not matter who the Democrat Candidate is, they will lose. So, I hope Hillary DOES NOT take the VP if asked to, it is going to be a landslide for McCain look deep peeps, there is alot more out there, I will post them, if I see other snot posting them,, CALI is a another major part people are missing.
I hear people on the other Blogs , and this may sound stupid but how can we be sure we are not being set up by one of those Obamboozle, these Obama people are just plain UGLY….. I want to give out my e-mail and contact number so we here in Texas can get together and plan to attend the March and whatever else but I’m not sure how we do that and stay safe. Anyone on here from Texas can understand, I worked the poll and the caucus here and dam there was jump people were voting from as far away as New York with no ID and we were told to allow them to vote, The elderly and disabled were told to go the He## Home or else ,they were announcing on the HipHop Stations that Obama was losing in the polls so SWAMP the CAUCUS and that they did , This Chicago 1960′s like Politics is dangerous….
REPOST:
Some of you are talking about taking a sweeping widespread action to make an impact. Do you know how much money it takes to do that? How many of you have actually hit the contribute button?
Turning this “thing” around will take the fortitude and personal commitment of every person. Looking for direction and someone to do our bidding is what got us to this point. For years, we allowed the DNC to give us direction and do our bidding without questions.
almost 18 million people voted for Hillary Clinton.
I challenge each person on this website –
to get 25 new people here
to get 25 more letters to John Dean
to get 25 more letters/emails to Fox News, Lou Dobbs, or the Guardian (forget mainstream media)
to get 25 more re-registered to Independent
to get 25 people to donate $5
I will do the list for Pennsylvania & Ohio
BevGarr1@aol.com
I will post every morning by 9:00am with the listing for those two states.
Murphy, Made some errors in my letter. Is it possible or necessary to correst?
How many are we? Does anyone have any estimates?
I’m concerned about infiltration, manipulation, and security, as well. I don’t put anything must his supporters or the DNC, for that matter.
If McCain runs what would be a normal or respectful campaign and DNC/Obama runs a Chicago campaign like in the primary, the only rules will be those made up by the Obama campaign with reason and civility out the window – dirty politics.
Anybody willing to get travel sized deodorant and mail to SD’s? I could do it all, but would be part of a group that does this. May take SD names and divy them out alphabetically.
TYPO I don’t put anything “past” his supporters or the DNC, for that matter!
Also, and I know you are very busy, but, Murphy would you please tell us a little bit about you. We want to trust, but heysandy and democratnomore have a point.
And I know that myself and at least one other blogger have been victims of credit card theft during this election process.
P.S. The deodorant sent to sd’s should have a note that says No to BO.
Just signed up with PUMA (love what it stands for “Party Unity My Ass”). Give me a day to just settle in. Heck I’ll be happy just to get posted as a start. I had so much frustration at HillaryClinton.com with only two of my 50 something comments ever getting posted.
Just came from there as a matter of fact. It’s like a ghost town. I doubt much donating is going on. Only saw 39 posts last I checked. Used to be a bustling community. Now HillaryClinton.com looks forlorn a place. I wonder what will happen over there in the coming days.
Time to press submit and see what happens. Bye for
now.

I am in talks with some women from all over the USA and we are trying to put together a coalition together of HRC supporters especially women so our voice becomes POWERFUL come NOV. and then the country especially the DNC can see that they messed with the wrong demographic.
We must NOT be taken for granted!
I need to collect emails of those interested esp. women… we are currently brainstorming on how to make our coalition one of power and millions.
Please if you are interested… please email me at n_otero@verizon.net.
I will then included you in our mailing list once we have an idea of how we are going to proceed.
If you have ideas on how to make this MAJOR please also include that in your email so I can forward this.
WOMEN LETS GO!!!! Lets MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
I need as many as we can get… if we want the movement to be MAGICAL, POWERFUL WE MUST BE A COALITION THAT IS A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH!!!!
Thanks
Hey Sandy,
It’s only a screen name and email address. This info is mainly for an estimate of members and future action alerts.
What can the obots do with that? Hell, I’ve been spammed with less info. I’ve been spammed glancing at a webpage.
Only your personal actions can make a difference. Obots are banking that you will “fall into line” because you know nothing else. Obots are banking that your finger will press the Obama button in November. You and only you can make that decision.
A screen name and email address can’t do that for you.
Shortterm, are we even asking for email addresses.
Good Night everybody~
Have to get some sleep, I work tonight see you all in the A.M.~
May God Bless us one & All~
add me Please! from Monroe County, Newport Michigan~
Hi Democratnomore,
I would start by creating a new e-mail address, just in case you start receiving e-mails you don’t want you can delete that one and start over. I’m also from TX and I would say that we just need to stay on task (support Hillary, protest the Dems actions, and making sure our votes count). I wouldn’t attend anything unless you’ve asked this group about it beforehand to see if it is legit. Don’t meet people in a private home or give your private information to just anyone. Let’s just be careful, but not too paranoid. That’s what I would say, but if people disagree please comment.
-Lara08
Hey Hill Family,
May take awhile for everyone to settle in but I hope we can all get to work here and at other sites to stop Obama. I am actually looking at it this way. I am not working to get McCain elected but to make sure Obama is not. Remember:
Say No to “O”
TXPUMA…I’m from CA — thanks!

I want to be added. Southern California 4hillinca
Oops forgot to add Zee to Mass…
Please add me to the Maryland list. I have some lists of super delegates if that helps.
ShortTermer, tried to email you…didn’t work. Says your email address doesn’t exist. I used the hyperlink in your post.
ShortTermer and All,
I am a private citizen from Boston MA. I am 39 years old. I have been active in politics as a volunteer, a small financial contributor, and voter since I was 18. I volunteered for Hillary’s campaign in Philadelphia and was present with Guest credentials for the RBC in DC last week. I have never been employed by any campaign or political party or politician in my life.
My extended family, all in Boston and its suburbs, have been Democrats since our parents and grandparents stepped off the boat from Ireland in the early 1900′s. Members of my family include a Boston police officer, a chief prosecutor for the county DA’s office, a Boston school teacher, a non-profit Boston social worker, laborers in Local 223 of the laborer’s union, and a nurse at Mass General Hospital. We are true blue democrats.
You are right to be careful about your security. That’s why we use paypal for contributions. The funds we receive are regulated by IRS rules and laws about 527 organizations. The money does NOT go to me personally — Paypal will only release funds to an official PumaPAC bank account.
I also need to be careful about my security. I am a private citizen. If you, or anyone, have any questions that you would like to ask me personally, please email me at murphy@pumapac.org. I will respond to your email.
Could you please add me to list for Missouri?
Thanks
Democratnomore,
I’m in the same boat here. I don’t want to give out my email and I’m also in Texas. If someone can think of a way for us to communicate securely let me know. I live in Houston.
I would like to make a prediction and see if it comes true. I believe our single greatest ally against NObama is none other than President George Bush.
It is believed that in Bush’s recent trip to Israel he gave the green light to Israel to go ahead and attack Iran.
See: http://bl121w.blu121.mail.live.com/mail/ReadMessageLight.aspx?AllowUnsafe=True&FolderID=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000005&InboxSortAscending=False&InboxSortBy=Date&OpenMessageBody=True&ReadMessageId=1fdb02a3-084e-4be8-b449-e0d4d31e320a&n=736175323
I have believed this for months now. I just can’t believe the majority of Americans seriously support NObama as Commander in Chief. If America and Israel are going to move on Iran it HAS to be before the election.
Besides the most obvious reasons for the Iran strike (preventing them from getting nuclear weapons and becoming a more viable threat to Israel) is the fact that our economy is seriously on the brink of Destitution. We have always been a military-based economy. And NObama has promised to seriously cut our defense capabilities, etc. I shudder to think of him in charge these next 4 years.
Anyone care to bet I am wrong? What better way does Bush have of supporting a Republican candidate and effectively taking the wind out of Democratic sails? Think about it.
Thanks, Murph! I am at your disposal! Let me know how I can help.
Good evening everyone! I emailed Normita yesterday, I had some computer problems, will see what happens.
Hope everyone is feeling better after yesterday. I had a problem with my newpaper this morning; “Hillary threw in the towel,” I just couldn’t take it. Tried to read the New York Times, couldn’t do that either……..TV is OFF for the rest of the summer. Hopefully, this blog will keep me updated. Hillary’s blog, had only 39 messages, and some were BO’s. I cannot support Obama, I just cannot do it. Still praying that Hillary will Prevail; maybe something will be revealed before the convention. Did most of the “Hillsters” keep the same names? I was in tears again this morning after trying to blog on HillaryClinton.com………..
Hi, My name is Terri and I live in WA state. I am a long term Hillary supporter and I want to help anyway I can. I have donated to Puma and will donate on a weekly basis. I have never been politically active until Hillary motivated me and I check out information for BO. And now I am determined to do something about this. I was on the phone for Hillary on 6/3 and was in tears as the day progressed.
Please let me know what I can do to help, I have changed to independent from Democrat. I have cancelled my newspaper, when I stayed on the line to tell them why, they finally said they would forward my message to the opinion dept, they had been getting numerous calls. I believe we are even more powerful than we think.
Let me know how I can help.
TXpuma,
Could you add me for texas. Houston. Thanks.
dont forget to add me too!
from Monroe County~ Newport, Michigan
Ok really am going to bed now~ Nite All~
go to bed, gokim….take care of yourself.
I’ve been on gretawire.com blogs and yes the Obama people are unreal..I’d be leary of leaving my email addy. One blogger here did and I responded all to get it sent back…guess he found out it was a bad idea too.
I am very new here and it’s hard to navigate, reply, respond and I know I won’t find this post.
I’m CJ on greta’s blog unless someone hiyjacks my name…so far no one has…
I will communicate better there…until I learn this blog.

Naboo — I think your suggestion is fabulous. We all need to be united in one cause! I’ve been looking for such an organization for weeks. That being said, one of the things that has been so encouraging to me about PUMA is that men are including their gripes as well. Did you see all the men, young and old, at Hillary’s speech yesterday? I very much support a women’s movement but I ‘ve come to learn in my blogging that there are many individuals who feel disenfranchised, including fathers with daughters, veterans, etc…they seem to be making a valuable contribution to the cause, imo. Will your group be separated from or possibly linked with PUMA — I think there is so much more potential for making a powerful impact when all of us are in one place.
It has been suggested that PUMAs get organized by state — what a great idea! Could your group be incorporated in that way…could we all work side by side toward a common cause?
My name got bumped off.
hillfan4mccain in NC
Please add me back……thanks bunches
I was reading in our newspaper about a sign a woman had on her back: “Remember in November. Vote Present. Had to share…thought it was worth remembering!
I just wanted to ask if there is any of you writers that can do an excellent press release. There are great companies out there that will put up free press releases. Some, in order to get better placement you need to pay for. But I do think with the excitment going on here, we don’t need to pay for it. Puma has already attracted some great press. Why not continue to throw them a bone?
Tell me your thoughts
I put my name under Texas- but it’s not appearing on there anymore.
A big hi to Gay Guy who is finally here.
I know we are all getting settled in here and on other blogs. We need to start figuring out what we are going to do. I am glad Pumas are sending out that letter to Dean.
But what else can we do?
HireHeels says on its site it is organizing a million woman protest march to the convention in August.
Should we also organize a PUMA March along with them?
Well- it’s still June. So I guess we have time to figure out what we need to do. In the meantime I think blogging at the sites like Huffington and the MSMs is good for now until we get organized.
i was moved by a previous e-mail that spoke about how critical our contributions are at this point. This is what I can give right now (see below), but I’m sure that if all you can donate is $5 that Puma PAC will appreciate it.
Donation amount
Contribute to the Puma PAC
Total Amount: $25.00 USD
Also, I know the group is only a few days old, but at some point we need to break down the work by tasks (or committees). Perhaps we can do this by creating different committees and then asking for volunteers for each.
-Lara08
OK,
Just made my first contribution but not my last. Yes, it will take money but I’m confident we will be heard!!!!
Hi Lillabet great to hear from you…I don’t know if you remember me but, I too get very emotional over how Our Hillary Who Is Very Best Commander in Chief and President has been treated.. And, now they Democratic party is forcing her to back BO…Haven’t they got their fill of hate and sexism and backstabbing???SICKENING!!!!I am so glad that 2 week ago I changed to Independent…But, enough tears and I am back with a true Hillary fighting spirit….It ain’t over yet…..I hope Hillary is getting some most deserved rest..for now, until she is our next President of the United States of America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I will never,never,never,never,never, never oh well, you get it ….vote for BO……..NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please add me, too

I am a late bloomer in the game of politics. I never voted in primaries until this year and I’m amazed to realize our votes don’t count, not only because of the 2000 fiasco and this year with Florida & Michigan, for it’s the delegates and Super Delegates that put the nominee in not the American people.
I do not want anymore Republicans in office: a party that brought us to our knees, put us in a wasteful war, turned our allies against us, jobless American people, housing and bank crisis and allows the big money people who play the stock market to gamble with oil, also not allowing alternatives ways to produce fuel or to get the automotive companies to change the car systems to run on other than oil. This has caused the United States to be dependent on the people who want to see the United States of America fall down…the terrorist who control oil …who control us.
I don’t want Obama for I fear him; not trust or respect him. I do not see that he is good for our country and the people of the United States.
There is so much strategy in an election that it takes away the right of the people to choose who they feel is best for them….it’s a game and we are not given the same rules as those who created the game.
To me, I see that the Clintons are so disliked by those responsible for this farce of an election and are adamant about keeping them away from putting into effect the policies that will help our country and our people. So intent about this they are willing to put a man with terrorist ties and white hatred in the White House giving him the most powerful of control. It is well known about his book of the Audacity of Hope and his wife’s thesis and words of hatred towards whites and all this is sloshed under the table while they bash the Clintons. Some, just a few in the media have tried but each negative word gave Obama more delegates. This is a game I don’t want to play anymore.
Hillary won the votes of the majority of the people and she should have been the nominee.
I’m voting for McCain to keep Obama out.
But the power and money behind Obama is a fright..

Hello, will someone please add me to the list…..I would greatly appreciate it….I live in Southern California….Thank You!!!!Suzanne ps I would do it…but, I don’t know how…………………..
Please add my name on the Kentucky list. I will donate next week. Just had two major surgeries and doctor bills have ate me alive. But, will do my part.
Can someone add me to CA — Bay Area — thanks!
Hello Everyone, I’m new to this site and would like to do all I can to see that Hillary supporters are heard. This is no longer about her, she stood steadfast till the end and has now suspended her campaign. Her future in politics is on the line if she does not abide by the DNC rules. I know in my heart that this was probably the most painful thing she has ever had to do in her life and my heart goes out to her. I was hoping she would run as an independent, however, I can understand that would be a very risky thing to do in her position.
We, her supporters still have a task to do to ensure that our voice be heard. I still don’t know what can be done to assure that besides voting for McCain. I am prepared to do that and out of all the republicans to vote for, he, is more of an independent. Even his party did not want him to win, but they had no other choice after the voters spoke. At least the republican votes were heard and counted for. If Florida and Michigan votes were heard to begin with, Hillary would have been our candidate early in the election. I’m trying to move on and stop dwelling on things I cannot change, but it is hard.
Lilabet – IT IS WONDERFUL TO SEE you here and joining the rest of us – we need to get Patrollie, Poochgirl, Okie4Hillary, operafan4hillary, silentreader, David Power and Normita here as well – and then the village will be almost full again – so nice to hear from you
I do hope this State thing will end soon as I have an old browser and it can hardly take all the space used on this site right now.
I posted this earlier for those to respond – not once but twice but no takers – I guess more interested in the State thing – but here is my question one more time – and then I am done with it – I personally believe in the element of surprise as you can conquer any opposition with it IF YOU are organized – I have been promoting Puma to HRC people on that site and family and friends – but I am afraid if the media gets too much attention that Obarf will put pressure on our Hillary to concede rather than suspend – what say you Hillsters??? Also if you think it is wise I have a couple of friends at AARP that do owe me some favors – besides women – us senior citizens was another one of the big demographics for Hillary – perhaps I could convenice them to do an article on PUMA – maybe Murphy could help out with exactly what to say to them – be more than happy if this is prudent.
Please someone anyone – stop with the States for awhile and give me some guidance.
I think I had made this suggestion before, but will post it again. If you go to google and type in gmail then you can set up an email address with whatever name you want and include puma in the address ie: linda4puma@gmail.com. That way we will be able to change it if it starts to get spammed.
Hi Lillabet- it’s me Evy. I am just going by my first name.
Yes- I was one of those who put her own real name out there because I didn’t know how to change it to a cool screen name. But will go by just my nickname here- evy.
Great to see you here. I feel like we were run out of our home in a way. It is a ghost town over at the Hill site- taken over by Jr.’s trolls. I “brought” our candles over here because I felt we were leaving them behind.
This place is a good site and very welcoming and most important of all Pro Hillary all the way.
I hope Normita comes on board soon. Until she does, I will take over reminding about our candle vigil.
Notice I signed some of the ‘PUMA”.
http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=hrc
Please add my name to a Missouri list. Thanks.
Lillabet, Gay Guy and so many others, so relieved you escaped and found your way here. This site is good for the BP! With blinders on (left and right) this IS my only resource to outside politics right now. Straight ahead !
I don’t think it will take us long to get organized and on our mission..Hillary and all of you taught the family well. We just need to stay focused.
And don’t forget to write your letter to DEAN also on this site. This a great opportunity for us to be heard …and possibly picked-up by some (limited) Media..ya never know.
Hello to everyone from Hillary’s blog…I posted there as EasyChoice..Some of you sent me your email so we could stay in touch..Thanks…glad we have a new home…So… I’m new to this blog and was wonder what this list for?.. would some one pls add me…
Williamsburg, Kentucky
also I’ll be posting my letter to the (DNC) and Mr.Dean as soon as I get it typed up…
I look forward to standing up for Hillary with ALL of you..Together we will be heard with ONE VOICE..
Hi everyone,
Welcome to all the newbies! We are growing so fast, it’s amazing! If you haven’t already, please go vote at the AOL straw poll. Our Hillary used to rule on it, but now McCain is kicking Obama’s butt:)
http://news.aol.com/political-machine/2008/06/05/aol-straw-poll-june-5-june-13/
THE LIST:
ADD: drae (Benton County)
drae posted a DEAN letter, but I don’t see her listed w/me under OREGON. If any more Oregonians out there, please request that your name be added to THE LIST.
I highly recommend watching the 2 new videos that were put up today at http://comealongway.blogspot.com/ . One is called: “Hillary Rodham Clinton- Not Ready To Make Nice”. The other one is: “I won’t Do That”. I think they are well worth checking out. One of them even has clips from Hillary’s speech yesterday.
Hi Everyone,
Ive been a member of hillaryclinton.com for a few months. However, it looks like the Obama group has hijacked the site, just another thing they stole belonging to Hillary.
I live in Canada and I’ve followed Hillary’s carreer for many years. I have the upmost respect for her and am saddened and angered over the way she has been treated. But I have faith she will be the next President.
Basically, I want to offer my support in any way I can. I sent an e-mail to Murphy but I think she (forgive me if you’re not a she, I am assuming) is swamped right now, so i’ll ask my question here. Can canadians contribute to this cause?
Also, if you need someone to help with work that can be done from a distance I’m available. I have experience working on politcal campaigns and am pretty good with working on databases, researching and basically anything computer oriented. So, please let me know if you need anything, I’ll be more than happy to help.
The person who is in power in the US, has much influence over Canadian trade, etc. I love my country and my freedom, we need the best person in the white House to ensure we remain neighbours who support each other, not divide each other. Which is why I wish to do what I can to help all of you get Hillary in the Presidency.
wow it is really hapening

Hey Pumas,
Just lit my candle and called it PUMA! Why don’t we all do this as a show of solidarity from now on? Like we used to put “Yes” going into primaries. What do you think?
Goalucard4Hill,
Your suggestion is very good, senior citizens are the MOST reliable voting block for both parties aside from women voters. If you can convince members of AARP to join PUMA, we would be a force to reckon with.
Hi Evy & Lillabet,
Good to see you ladies over here. You are so right Evy, I have been trying to post for two days on the Hill site, I guess we are being censored now. I am not going over there anymore, in fact I am un subscribing, because I don’t want them to have my information, email address or any personal information. Nice to see you again. I hope everyone follows us here.

smellslikebo on 06.08.08 at 7:39 pm
smellslikebo, if you’re still here, I have a question on your earlier post. You said:
“… SO experts are watching cali for it to possibly turn into a RED 55 State for McCain this year as all the voters come out of the wood-work to vote for marraige act and they will also vote for McCain… LOOK IT UP! no one is talking about tis but a few so-called expert election type people, and most agree if cali does go RED it really does not matter who the Democrat Candidate is, they will lose.”
But didn’t we see that a large number of Republicans who don’t like, even hate, McCain–and especially women–said they would vote for Hillary? Isn’t it possible that if SHE is the nominee, a good proportion of these “values voters” will vote for her and keep CA blue? Not for O, of course, but for her.
Just got a e-mail from Coward dean asking for money an unity. Below is my response.
ARE YOU CRAZY. YOU MUST BE. UNITY MY ASS.
YOU AND DONNA BRAZILLA HAVE CONSPIRED FROM THE BEGINNING TO GET THIS FOR OBLAMA. HE IS THE SELECTED JUST LIKE GW BUSH NOT THE ELECTED.
NO HELP

NO SUPPORT
NO UNITY
NO VOTE FOR ANY DEMOCRAT THAT SUPPORTED THIS FARCE.
YOU SHOULD HAVE FOLLOWED THE RULES AND COUNTED THE VOTES. BUT YOU DIDN’T SO YOU GET NOTHING FROM ME EITHER. I AN MY FELLOW REAL DEMOCRATS YOU KNOW US BITTER BIBLE TOTTING GUN LOVING KIND WILL MAKE YOU AN OBLAMA PAY IN NOVEMBER. McCAIN WILL GET ALL MY

Hi Goalucard4hill, good to hear from you… Yes, you are absolutely right about getting organized and connecting all of the websites together to bring all of us together for Hillary….I have been in contact with a few different organizations that will be coming together very soon….We all need to stay focused and pull all of our resources together…You, Alucard are a guiding light with courage and sense to give us direction and we need your help and encouragement to carry on…Please, keep up the advice and determination…We love You…And, we all know how much our Hillary depends on each and everyone one of us to stand up for her…I can’t stress that enough….She is depending on us NOW!!!! Please everyone, do what you can and make a difference….
This was posted in the comments at the AOL Straw Poll I thought it funny ..actually scary :
Marty3:36PMJun 2nd 2008
A reading from the Obama Scriptures for June 6, 2008.
From the Book of St. Marx
Chapter 6
Verse 66
In the beginning there was video tape.
and the Tape captured the Word.
and the Word was HATE.
and the Word sprung from the mouth of a Man.
and the Man was Wright.
And try as they might to keep
the Tape from the people
they could not.
After the lands of many caucuses had voted
the Tape was seen.
And the Lord Obama appeared distraught
because the people cried out Why Lord?
Why did you keep this man of hate in your midst?
And the Lord appeared to them and spoke:
This man is not a man of hate.
You do not understand what goes on in his pulpit.
Hate is Love
Mocking is Forgivenes
Insults are Ecstasy
Everything you believe about reality is wrong.
I am the Light and the Way.
Afterward the Olbermann tribe was first to sing out:
YES! YES LORD!
Lies are truth!
Hate is Love!
Division is Unity!
Soon the CNN Tribe, and the Huffington Tribe sang out
in praise of the Lord.
And those who knew
in their American guts
something was still wrong
tried to speak
but they were called racists
and scoundrels
and lepers.
And so the Arugulas worshipped their Lord in the public square
and worshiped St. Marx in secret.
And it came to pass that the Word of Hate was made normal.
And the march of the Lord went on as before.
The people pulled the wool back over their eyes.
And all was well.
And the Lord took a break to sneak a smoketh.
Hi Silent/Easy Choice. The states list was for us to see where we were from so we could organize by state.
I don’t know who is taking over adding names to the list.
I know Murphy- our webmaster/moderator is doing everything right now on his own. Thank you Murphy for starting this site.
Add me to the list please – Minneapolis, MN
prplvette85,
Don’t unsubscribe from hillaryclinton.com. Well actually if you did, you can always resubsribe to her site again. They’re not going to give out your info to the BO campaign unless you signup on the front page. There may be future emails from the Hillary campaign, and I want to make sure that I’m still on their mailing list and get them.
Hey, everyone, good to see the energy and interest here. Murphy, I am in Philadelphia and worked for Hillary here as well. I wonder if we met?? It was a good time. I just drove by the old office yesterday and shed a tear or two.
Back to organization–Shorterm was going to send out postcards to Super D’s. I think it is a great idea. Should we all write something for the postcard? Should we have a coordinated postcard campaign? I think we should have something short and catchy. Any ideas? Shorterm, do you want help? Something like:
“You can still change your mind–Senator Hillary Clinton, The People’s President. We are 18 million strong and we are on the move. We are PUMA’s hear us Roar” Then I think we would have to put something like “This message is not connected to the Hillary Clinton Campaign–this is an independent movement”
Someone else coined the phrase “The People’s President” which I thought was great.
Other ideas?
Please add my name to Tennessee.
I am thrilled to be here and will do whatever I can to help Sen. CLinton
Slient,
Wow, Marty3 is quite talented! I agree with you. It’s humorous, but also disturbing in a way. Sometimes I just stop and ask myself, “What in the world is happening to our country?” Sadly, I’m not really sure.
Thank you antifish for lighting a candle.
Yes- let’s name our candles PUMA as a show of solidarity.
I feel so at a loss without having states to call…
Tomorrow I will blog at the major sites for Hillary-
Message: Hillary is the rightful nominee- say no to o
I won’t do that- here’s that video that was posted!
I won’t vote for Jr.- no way!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9afuODNDYoQ&eurl=http://comealongway.blogspot.com/
FYI-
The video was made by Hillary site blogger- clefnote.
He did it right before he left the site.
He has emailed me. I have emailed everyone who’s emailing me to come over here.
Will send them a reminder. It’s neat that his video got posted on a blog already.
We need to invite all our friends and family to come over here to join PUMA.
March 24, 2008: Obama is photographed lounging in a swimsuit in the Virgin Islands while Hillary Clinton is in Pennsylvania talking to the people of rural America who Obama thinks are clinging to guns and God because they are bitter about their financial circumstances. She wants them to understand that she will bring real change to make their lives better (or, as Obama would have it, so that they can set their guns and God aside).
June 7, 2008: Obama is spotted leaving his Chicago home with golf clubs while Hillary Clinton is giving a unity speech calling on all Democrats to work hard to elect him the next President of the United States. She knows that if she will have a chance to make a real difference in the lives of Americans as a U. S. Senator, she will first have to make the failed leadership of the Democratic Party happy by endorsing a weasel for president.
“Barack Obama, Change We Have To Believe In” because there’s just no evidence that he will ever actually do any of the hard work that will produce any of the change that he talks about. Maybe when he says that he will change American politics he means that his handlers will decide what’s best for us and formulate the fluffy rhetoric that he can deliver that will make some believe that they’re actually getting everything he is promising them…
Go PUMAS
One of the 18 Million
Hey!
I made it! I was a supporter and a monthly donor to Hillary! Sometimes I donated 3 times a month! I also called states and begged for friends and family to support Hillary! I never posted a lot but I was there with everyone to help Hillary fight this battle!
I am so mad at the DNC and Media! They now have who THEY want!
Hills site is being taken down as we speak! I tried to post all day but nothing!
Do they really think we will be obedient little voters and just vote Obama because they tell us we must? I will not vote Obama! It would be VERY HARD even with Hillary on the ticket.
I had 2 emails from the DNC the last 2 days for donations! I hit the reply button and typed:
“No Hillary..No vote in November..And no money!..” McCain 08!!
Jumper ~ The other Gay guy!
The List:
Murphy, is possible to have a thread just for “the list”?
It is getting long and names are getting dropped. I don’t mind adding names while I am here. I see some new bloggers asking to be on it.
Hello evy glad to see so many of us here…BTW did you get the email i fowarded to you..
Evy,
Thanks for posting the candle link. You always seem to read my mind and post what I’m thinking. I actually lit a few for PUMA yesterday. I’ve always appreciated your posts at the Hill site. Although I never posted much I still felt very connected to the regulars there. Watching the transition the past few days has been very painful. I was hoping that most of you would find your way here. Thank goodness so many of you showed up. I posted a few times as JC in NC, but since I’m not big on writing or typing I usually just read and light candles.
I hope more consider lighting candles for PUMA, and continue to light them for Hillary. She has passed on the torch. Let’s keep it lit.
RISE HILLARY RISE!
OK! What is the list? Ive only been here for a few minutes and am trying to read as much as possible!
Thank you both Asian4Hillary and Casper Cat – I will start working on the AARP – would love for Murphy to help me with what to say about PUMA – I could take it off the website here but would prefer to represent exactly the way that it should be –
Robin from Gary – I remember how proud of you I was during the Indiana primary and your reports to us – unfortunately I could not get my posts to post saying that to you – I love this site – we can say what we want here –
Again thank you Casper Cat for your kind words to me – I love Hillary – as I said in my last post at HRC – living on Social Security alone – I would donate every penny I had and eat a chicken pot pie for dinner for .62 cents knowing that Hillary could use what I could send – and I am like you Evy – anxious to call to make sure voters are out there voting for our Hillary – guess we will just have to save all that energy for the GE .
I was just thinking about all the people that feel that their only solution now is to support BHO. Many may not know about PUMA. What if we were to post on BO blog pumapac. It might give some the idea there is still hope.
Just updated the list. TXPuma (or anyone keeping track) please compare with yours and update. Anybody missing from the list or newcomers please asked to be added. Thanks

What a strange election year this is. Democrats are mad, Rs are mad…..How in the world is this going to all shake out??
I support all that you are doing to organize the disenfranchised Hillary supporters (like me) who say, NO to obama and company. Thank you for this site! Stay strong!
Looks good!! Everyone be sure to use the last list posted when adding your name.

I would like to take a moment to say that I had been visiting Hillary’s site for months to read the press releases but that I never looked at the blogs until just a few days ago. Sorry! On a brighter note, I’ve left plenty of comments at CNN’s political ticker in order to press the case of true leadership vs sleazy weaselship.
Here’s the comment I’ve been trying to leave all day today, but CNN’s moderators just won’t have it:
The Religious Right and the Neo-Conservatives (the “Radical Right”) highjacked the Republican Party from 1994 to 2008 by means of a combination of Clinton bashing and clever marketing that convinced just enough people to vote for Bush because of what he appeared to represent rather than because of what he was: a shallow and sleazy guy with lofty-sounding slogans and empty rhetoric.
The Lunatic Left and its Loser Leadership has highjacked our party now by means of a combination of Clinton bashing and clever marketing that has convinced just enough people to vote for Obama because of what he appears to represent rather than because of what he is: a shallow and sleazy guy with lofty-sounding slogans and empty rhetoric.
Eerie, huh?
At the same time that the Republicans are finally getting their party back, too many of us have been tricked into turning our party over to the Lunatic Left’s version of the same empty nonsense.
As for all you people who were so easily tricked by the Lunatic Left, its Loser Leadership, and by their false nominee’s flowery rhetoric and empty slogans, how many times have you stupidly written that Hillary is EVIL? How many times, morons? She was and will be the best hope any of us have of actually realizing the change that should be more important to you than all your adulation of Obama Almighty.
Go PUMA PAC
Sincerely,
Brian Knoxville, TN
Puma Democrat
I said it before and I’ll say it again………..when you go to a church for 20 plus years and don’t know what is going on he must have slept through the ranting and raving sermons. Too many other things he has been involved with to get my vote…………. mo isn’t much better saying this is the first time in her adult life that she is proud to be an American. dean and brazile aren’t any better. I’ll vote McCain before I vote fo bo.
Unity, Organize, Be Heard, do anything but don’t sit back and wait to see what happens. We can and will make a difference and bring very real change. 18 million voices can make great change to this country. Just remember we were called morons and uneducated voters so we need to show them we won’t sit in silence. Organize…..Organize…….Organize
Spread the word, this is important as we can change history like they have never seen it happen before.
please add me for New Jersey (Morristown)
Welcome to the team, Jumper, we are happy to have you – Could someone post me under Kentucky – would really appreciate it – have tried three times, but I surely did something wrong.
I keep getting kicked off the List.
Please add me to FLORIDA. Thank you.
Susy T, my email is
shorttermerpuma@gmail.com
please retry; I have gotten mail already, so it works.
Would those of you from FL AL GA email me so we can start to work on something while Murphy does the 1,000 Reasons letters [which was an excellent idea!].
Thank you Murphy for your bio.
There is a list of those up for re-election at
http://camille424.wordpress.com/
There are many many of our Hillaryis44 people there.

Anyone else check out Citizens for McCain or WomenCount Pac?
Thoughts?
TXPuma,
Just looking over list. Noticed EWard is under California and Texas.
Hi all,
1. On the list I am listed in Georgia? I am in Corvallis, Oregon. :-0
2. I am getting concerned as well with all of the groups going every which way. The only way our voices will be heard and to take huge actions, like the march, mailings or whatever, are for everyone to do it at the same time. ya know
This is in no way meant as anything critical. I just want to help so much, but I also want to know who I am giving money, name, hope to. There are some problems that will arise with fake groups.
For ex. I went to but did not save the address of a puma group that is NOT this one. I am not web savey, and at the time just thought it weird because I knew this was the right one, but I am concerned. I am trying to find it now. It was definitely NOT this address.
Hello,
Nice to be here. I am an independent voter and I have been a strong supporter of Hillary’s candidacy. I am “left-leaning”, but I cannot vote for Obama, no matter what. He will not get my vote, and neither will McCain. I will vote independent again, like I used to before.
Speaking of “independent” voters: I feel I would like to say a word here about the mainstream media in general and Lou Dobbs(“Mr. Independent”) in particular. The mainstream media has been despicable in its coverage of Hillary’s campaign. I watched CNN almost every day this year, and I was horrified by the blatant bias against Hillary. HOWEVER, I also watched “Lou Dobbs Tonight” regularly. And he was THE ONLY ONE who treated Hillary with respect and gave her candidacy the courtesy it deserved, even though he is by no means a Democrat. In fact, Lou Dobbs personally and repeatedly called out the mainstream media for its anti-Hillary bias, saying that in his long career as a journalist, he has never seen anything like the favoritism that has been shown toward Obama. Dobbs also called repeatedly for a re-vote in Michigan and Florida, and often brought up the obvious mysogyny and sexism that was heaped upon Hillary throughout her campaign.
Lou Dobbs also had a nightly panel of political commentators which usually included DNC member and Hillary supporter Robert Zimmerman. Robert was always treated well by Dobbs and their repartee was often humorous and sharp, with Dobbs frequently siding with Zimmerman in defense of Hillary against other panelists who supported Obama and McCain.
So, please, those of you who are writing protest letters and cards — by all means, tell CNN, Donna Brazile, Jack Cafferty, and whoever a thing or two about CNN’s disgraceful trashing of Hillary, but Lou Dobbs actually deserves the gratitude of Hillary’s supporters for swimming against the tide on this one. I have sent him several emails throughout the primaries telling him that I am a Hillary supporter and thanking him for his fair treatment of her candidacy. He deserves credit for this.

I am the one who started that pesky state list; I would gladly add you to my spreadsheet if you email me; but I need to report to the group here all the names with locations and AN EMAIL address so you can be contacted.
I had suggested on a prior blog here that it would please me very much if each of you went to gmail and got a new edress for use here with PUMA as part of the edress. This would also serve as a promotion of this blog as we email others. Please get a new email address and mail me at
shorttermerpuma@gmail.com
Brian in Knoxville—interesting…very interesting. And it is the truth.
Brian Knoxville,
That is a great post and so true. CNN will never post it. I quit trying to post there months ago. My comments always stayed in perpetual moderation. I even wrote to them and complained to no avail.
Security will be a BIG issue now. I really believe this campaign for the White House could and will become very ugly. Use caution with your personal info.
Thanks Murphy for the site! I hope there’s a secure donation link…
Jumper
I just keep thinking of things:
-how will we quickly be able to access the Latinos, gays, Jewish people, uneducated working people, you know the OLD coalition? We need these people and they need us.
-what if we sent in editorials to the papers?
-what if we sent in flyers or letters-to-request help in spreading the word to the pators and preachers – ask them to preach on it?
Goalucard4Hill and Murphy–
I just got emails from 2 Hill site bloggers who say they have not been able to get on-
They really want to s to join us!
I emailed them your email Murphy so you can help them with their technical problems of getting on.
–Others I am emailing to get on here are:
Who else is missing? Normita! Lucy in Missouri- are you here? Suef is here, right?
Well, Sen McCaskill thinks I’m just some bitter, religious, gun totin’, spam!
Thank you for contacting my office. I appreciate hearing from you.
Unfortunately, your message was caught in Senate spam filters designed to address the tens of thousands of spam e-mails received every month. In order to provide a responsive level of service for my Missouri constituents, please submit your comments through the webform on my Senate website – http://mccaskill.senate.gov. I apologize in advance for the inconvenience, and appreciate your understanding.
Again, thanks for your e-mail.

Here are some folks that requested to be added to the list in the 1000 letters thread… if anyone’s here to do that..
bluegrasstrina on 06.08.08 at 6:32 pm Please add my name to the list under elliott co, Kentucky
CasperCat on 06.08.08 at 7:23 pm Mayoro1o2, you be so kind to post for me ??? I live in Southern California and I would like to be added to the growing list of supporter’s around the United states..Thank You..
bruce555 on 06.08.08 at 9:41 pm Please add me to the list, Bruce555, Coral Springs, FL
marie on 06.08.08 at 4:04 pm what is the list for would like to sign it and pass message on
FL_Debby_Puma on 06.08.08 at 3:53 pm … PLZ ad me to the Florida list and im in Citrus County
drae in GA-go to your browser and check out your history. It tells you what links that your computer logged onto in the last 24/48 hours.
I love the energy I’m feeling on this board. I just left a rant over at No Quarter because a number of folks there were saying: you know, I feel calm now. I really feel relaxed, yada, yada.
Baloney to that!
I’m still mad as a hornet over this whole mess. And I don’t think sitting back, hoping for the best is the way to go. I read another very disturbing piece on Rezko Watch about an Obama supporter who was apparently featured on the official Obama site, directly contradicting everything Obama said at AIPAC. Of course, BO immediately contradicted himself the next day. The material has since been scrubbed from the website. I even find that troubling, how quickly the Obama folks wipe off fingerprints on anything problematic. The Obama gaffe machine.
Of course, the real question is: why was there anti-semitic material there to begin with?
In any case, I’m glad this group is using collective dissent as a tool. We have our vote and we have our voice.
Oh, btw? What’s the list for? I’ve already posted my note to Dr. Dean on the other thread. But, I’m Margaret from Knox Co., Tennessee.
Impressive TXPuma. Can you add Harris County by my name. Can I do it without screwing up this list? This is frickin amazing!
Hello everyone,
My comments were never posted on the hillaryclinton website, but I recognize some of you from reading that blog. Good to see you and the new users.
We need to get the word out to other organizations. What groups/people supported Hillary? LULAC and the AARP are good places to start, but we need to contact many others. The first stage is letting people know that we exist. If you worked on Hillary’s campaign and have some names please pass them on or send an introductory e-mail to them. Tell them about blog.pumapac.org and the blog’s goals (as spelled out on the home page).
What happened to the press release idea? If people aren’t sure how to put one out I can go to another org website read one over and design one for us. I’m not a media person, but I’m willing to learn to help the group.
Also, several people have commented on how moved they were by the letters we posted for Howard Dean. I’m going to e-mail or send a hard copy of my letter to my local paper tomorrow. I’m going to sign my name and write “PUMA Democrat.” I’m trying to keep the momentum going. Your letters are great. Send them out. We need to get the Dem party to listen to us and they can choose to ignore us if they aren’t pressured by from all angles. Don’t let them ignore us. We need to call attention to ourselves!
Thanks,
Lara08
I saw the Yahoo Headline………………..I hope Hillary is having some relaxing moments she really deserves it.
We have control of the remote just remember that. I don’t watch it anymore, spend time chatting with Hillary supporters and preparing for one of the largest movements in the history of the United States….Headed by PUMA’s You know PUMA’s we can make the History books and really make CHANGE the honest way.
NYCgirl,
I agree about Lou Dobbs. I used to get angry with him when he seemed obsessed with illegal immigration. For a time, he was really out there! I think the primary came at a good time and gave him a diversion before he went off the deep end. He and Joe Scarborough were the only talk show hosts who treated Hillary fairly.
You are right, we should send a Puma Pac letter of appreciation to him. If Murphy approves, of course:)
Regarding CNN, the last time I posted there was like January??? I had one of my posts “moderating” for over 48 hours. That is when I really started seeing the media’s game. I had suspicions but that did it.
hi all please add me to list pa.(north East)Thanks.
Hi Everyone!! So glad I found you all! This is my first post here. I’ve been feeling a little lost the last couple of days. So glad I found some like minded people!
Please add me to the list also.. I live in Knoxville, TN
Here is another suggestion for letting latino, gays & Jewish people know about Puma. Craigs list is huge, maybe we put a post on each states Craigs list.
I put together a flyer advertising the PUMA website. I want to post it everywhere, from telephone poles, mailboxes, cars and business cork boards. I know it’s such a basic idea and there is a lot of footwork involved, but I feel like I don’t know what else to do and it is better than doing nothing.
Can you please give me your opinion, and if you like the flyer, you’re welcome to make copies and post them as well. My email is gina613ca@comcast.net
Please add me to the KENTUCKY list. I have asked a couple of times, what am I doing wrong?

Jumper ………….I think the same that it can become ugly, not on our part though. We are doing this the right way. I kiddingly told my husband if anyone comes with Koolaid don’t drink it……… I agree be careful with personal information. When I went door to door I had a few people that were bo supporters and was nearly physically thrown off properties. I don’t know why people have to act like this but it happens. I never remember being irrate with anyone about their choice in voting. I think times have changed with the economy and everyone struggling to make ends meet, the war and stress about the future, still doesn’t make it acceptable behavior. Heck look at what we have been through and we are handling this the right way, organizing to make our voices heard.
Hey shorttermer,
Just did that. Great ida, the more puma addresses the better. Besides we can communicate better when we need to.
Gonna take off for now, ya all have a great night.
Can all the northern california people email me and we can exchange contact info? gina613ca@comcast.net
This is hilarious:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080608/ap_on_el_pr/clinton_analysis;_ylt=AjqfuHw6gjIxt5y6Tlyn6N2s0NUE
Please everyone remember the benefits of positive thinking. I can easily visualize Hillary standing in January taking the oath of office…Think Positive and keep praying to whom ever you feel are your spiritual powers…Prayers can move mountains!
Shorttermer
I created a gmail address and sent you an email for “The List”. I think form now on we should simply refer to it as “The List” in case there are any trolls. Make them wonder what “The List” is (HeHe)

Welcome!
Hey, I’m new here! I joined yesterday. Can someone add me to the list? Wisconsin – 1st!
Thanks. I am looking for solidarity with others, because if we are not unified in this, we will not be strong.
In Solidarity,
daiseymae
Where in Denver is the convention doing to be?
gina613-The idea is great. Alot of Hill supporters are tuning out right now. We need to respect that as I do. I have been preparing myself for this “war” since Feb. I saw it coming after the primaries in March. PA and IN really P.O. them. North Carolina was the “whack” along with John Edwards. Not that it meant much but the morale. Hill support is tremendous. We need to give them every reason to know there are options.
I just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to Murphy…This is a rewarding pleasure to be a guest on your website….this folks….IS A “CHANGE” WE CAN BELIEVE IN……Thanks, Now let’s pull our effort’s together so Our Hillary will prevail in November……………….
The ones that I really feel sorry for are the regulars at TaylorMarsh. No offense to TM and she has her views and told her bloggers that she would be Dem first. They are just being used. Enough of that! I will hand out flyers anytime, anywhere!

OMG………my brain has NOT been firing off all cyclinders. (I’m one of those uneducated white old fat women after all that clings to my guns and religion) I finally figured out how to add my dag gone name to the list!! YAHOOOOOO
Hello All!
I’m an Independent outsider to all of this. I don’t have a vote to count in the primaries, but I have watched very carefully and would vote for Clinton in the GE. Since I have watched this primary so close, I have to agree with the Democratic supporters that Hillary was railroaded by the DNC, the media, and a bunch of Incumbents drawn in by Obama and the promise of money for re-election. People can justify anything. Sad.
So, it seems as though there is a lot of concern about how to organize. Why not start by putting similar links as the candidates on this site: tell 5 friends link, etc. Also, platforms such as myspace, youtube, etc are free! Obama got out there by utilizing such resources. His campaign was savy. Also, I don’t know where the money for donations here go, but advertising on well know sites seems to be a good way to spend it (CNN, MSNBC, NYTIMES, etc). Also, how about hiring someone that does promotion? (I don’t do such things, but there must be someone out there that does this work that supports Hillary and maybe would come on board). From what I was reading on the other sites, campaigns use phone calls. That could also be a start. Do what you do best when you were working for Hillary. Get it out there. Do the people who were calling still have the phone lists (I don’t know how it works).
Just some thoughts.
Also, here’s an interesting link I ran accross a while ago. It’s quite a read:
http://www.thecityedition.com/Pages/Archive/Winter08/2008Election.html
Best,
JGoldman1
I have went over to the hc.com site to have a look see, and it’s so sad. No one seems to be home anymore. Lot’s of Nobama folks there. I tried to post there the past three days and it didn’t get posted.
I think it would be a great statement for PUMA’s to do a MILLION WOMEN MARCH to protest against the DNC!
Please help out with a public pressure campaign underway to get the Senate Commerce Committee to hold hearings on the relentless media bias in the election. There are FCC and anti-trust violations going on here, and perhaps a criminal conspiracy, because networks are not reporting at all on Obama’s links to organized crime. For more info and contacts, visit thecityedition.com. Here’s a direct:
http://www.thecityedition.com/Pages/Archive/Winter08/MediaPushbackCampaign.html
That would get national attention & let them know we will NOT be silenced! Hear us ROARRRRR!

I am off to bed …good night all.
ShortTermer,
I’m from GA. I’ve tried to email you twice and gotten errors. Please just add my email to your list -
antifishpuma@gmail.com
Hold News Channels Accountable;
BOYCOTT ADVERTISERS!
If everyone is just as disgusted with media channels as I am, then the best way to hold channels like MSN, Fox, CNN and others accountable for their “news” is to BOYCOTT the advertisers and their products.
Stop buying advertised products. Email these BIG NAME companies and tell them WHY you are not going to be supporting them!
Tell them how disgraceful the anchors have been. Tell them all the insulting remarks they made about Hillary.
Go once step more, go to the media websites, check out their online advertisers….BOYCOTT those company products as well!
Nothing hurts worse than taking $$$ from these companies. They will not be pleased with the media.
Imagine how it would affect them if 18 million voters decided to BOYCOTT their goods because of the media!
Let’s face it…MONEY TALKS and BO walks!
JGoldman1, thanks. If you have an email friend from HRC’s site, tell them. If you have a friend from NoQuarter, tell them. Use the grassroot tool we have now. I have told many, but they are suspicious. Give them that time…the sorrow will turn into POSITIVE ENERGY ..when they are ready.
Thank you Evy for your contact of our old villagers – yes Suef is on here – I think that I counted about 18 of us now – we still need: Douglas Ruark, Sabrina in Calif, Normita, Today, I am Desitny, SparkforHill, Beca, David Power, Silentreader, Titute, Lorelai, Operafan4Hillary, Artic907, Iowa Hillsters, Wela, Poochergirl, Rosa Nunez, Abigirl Tx, Radiofan, Okie4Hillary, Rip33, ABG, Gay Gal, Okie4Hillary, Maria in NJ, – I think that would conclude those that were regular bloggers that we enjoyed hearing from hourly and daily.
Murphy, I want to contribute, but I prefer to mail a check rather than doing it online. Do you have a PO Box address for mail contributions? The protest letters are excellent!
Please add ‘Elaine’ in Maine to the list. Thanks.
Please add me to the OHIO list,
I’m really “by the lake” in Ashtabula!
Dear all,
Here is the most recent version. Antifish, you’re right Eward is under CA and TX. I don’t know where Eward belongs to so I left it intact. I think if we place the time stamp every time it is updated/corrected it will be easy to identify the most recent/updated/corrected version.
Please look at #109 a suggestion by ShortTermer. I second it. It’s a great idea. Come on people get onboard. Time to go to bed. Good night all.

YRM, I thought the same thing. In fact, I wrote Fox News asking why all the hate calls from “Clinton Supporters” that made national news was not under investigation.
All phones calls into a place are recorded forever in a database that can really tell who the callers where. I know it was not Hillary’s!!
Murphy, can you please do a link so all these sites do not get lost in a blog and when newbies come on board, like myself (actually I finally figured out how to sign-in…duh…I think my brain was getting BO waves from the news), we could go there and in a few hours…hundreds can send out letters.
Thanks a million for a great site and your dedication!!

Hi Everyone,
I just got started here. I’m a little confused but what is the list for with the names? Is it on a previous thread because I couldn’t find an answer on this one?
I just sent an e-mail to all of LULAC’s main officers introducing PUMA Pac. If you know state/local people in AARP/LULAC and so forth please send them a polite e-mail introducing the group and the blog site. Also include the groups’ goals, which are stated in the “About” page on this site. Also, I haven’t watched CNN, MSNBC, or FOX in months because of how they covered the primaries, but people can try writing them and sending them info about us (the letters that we posted) and the blog’s address. Maybe somebody will read them.
I’d write Craig’s list to post, but I don’t know how it works. If you do, please take it upon yourself to start posting tonight.

Evy did your contacts check their spam file – generally once you sign up here you very quickly get an email back with a password unless it goes into their spam file -
hey everybody! i am glad i found puma!!! i have been reading different postings and i feel charged!!!! what a great community.
i dont know what to do though. i read this earlier and now i feel torn up inside. i think mccain is a honorable war hero but it looks like he is typical male in addition to being a war hero. look what he did to his first wife:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1024927/The-wife-John-McCain-callously-left-behind.html
now i dont know who to vote for. maybe hillary will run as an independent after all???????
Just made a small donation (more later) to say thank you, Murphy. I’d probably be hopelessly depressed w/out this site. I want to give all that I can as I’m sure PUMA PAC is going to grow immensly…daily.
Are comments holding in moderation? Curious.
Thanks TXPuma for the revision on this list. Hope everyone has a great week!
Add me to the list in Florida. Orlando
Thanks!
I am getting emails from Hill site bloggers telling me they can’t get on this site! They want to be PUMAS but some can’t get registered or else they have registered but their comments are not getting posted.
I know Murphy that right now it’s just you working your heart out on this site! I told them to be patient and gave them your email that you posted on here. So please answer their emails when you get them. This are great people- already organizing a drive against Keith Oberman- or whatever his name is from MSNBC.
Ad me in OH plz. In Cleveland to be more exactly.
And can you please copy post this graphics from the
Times Magazine.
http://www.time.com/time/2008/margin_of_victory/
Is just a small and constant reminder of why we are doing what we are doing.
Thanks
pumapower,
I have read that other groups are talking about a MILLION WOMEN MARCH. I believe one of them is the “Hired Heels” ladies. I’ve also read that all hotels are booked up. Now that could be a problem. May have to take a REAL BIG TENT.
Ok, I wrote my card to Hillary and stuck a dollar in it. I wrote “one of 18 million” across the dollar too and said that I hoped the other 18 million was on it’s way…I’m going to send another card as a back up. In fact I might send her a card every day for the next week…Good night folks.
One more thing. I wanted to say another big THANK YOU MURPHY for this site…I can’t believe how it’s grown in just two days.
TXPuma,
Please add me to Texas RalphB (Austin)
Thanks
I also think a million women march is a great idea. We will not be silenced and I will not be told to “fall in line.”
evy#169. If they have registered and have recieved a password mixed with letter and numbers, tell them to copy and paste their passwords when logging on. If the log in is successful, the tell them the check the box that says “remember me.”
I read the links from JGoldman1 and YRM. Once you read both stories, you begin to realize what a far-reaching concerted effort Hillary was against. This is big, people, I hope it’s not too much for us to tackle. Hopefully, we can find some honest people left in Washington and in the MSM to listen to us.
Hope this helps
With regards to the “Jewish vote”, I would suggest http://www.americanthinker.com They have been anti-Obama in the past. In fact, some of their articles are why I became so anti-Obama. The Jerusalem Post on the other hand was not.
diva moon that time magazine graphic is amazing!!!! thanks for posting!!!!
Evy and Others, please tell newcomers to follow the new directions in the first paragraph of the Open Thread post. They need to register with WordPress in order to start commenting. Or they can click on this link:

Hi, My name should be under CA. Thank you for checking!
Please add me to the list for Texas. Thanks!
Jeremy… I couldn’t make any friends at Hillary’s site -even though I followed it for a while. It would never post my stuff -so I couldn’t reply to anyone and get to know them. i do recognize some people here from her site though…
JGoldman
Wow! I just finished my letter to Dean in the 1000 reasons … thread. I read through everyone’s and it took me forever! Feels good though. I swear, I’ve written him about 15 times now! (And I plan to keep at it!)
I wanted to stop over here, too and say that I was psyched to see the PUMA signatures on the candle site. What a great idea to show our PUMA solidarity! For anyone that would like to visit the site and light candles, here’s a link:
http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=hrc
I’m going to start signing mine with “PUMA” too!
I’ll have to catch up on reading everyone’s posts – this site is slammin’!!!
When the state location list is updated, would someone please add my name to Connecticut?
Have a restful night, all. Thanks so much, Murph, for all you’re doing to keep us connected.
I am in Arizona and would like to help organize and do what I can to keep obama out of the White House. I am a fierce Clinton fan. I love reading all your posts and know that we must get organized soon.
I already emailed some of you as I was reading your posts. Add me to the list for Arizona. I mean business.
I plan on voting for McCain in November and have already signed up on his official site. I bought a t-shirt and a button and will wear it often so others will know that McCain is popular and has a strong backing.
Go Puma!
A poster earlier said she/he wrote 1 in 18million on her dollar. A great guerilla marketing tactic would be for each of us to write “1 in 18 Million for HRC” on all our paper money; and she how quickly people start asking questions.
If you’re an emotional person, like me, you may not want to watch this, but it’s a beautiful tribute to Hillary’s campaign. I’m still in tears!

Please add me, DJ , to the list of people from Massachusetts.
Murphy – can you tell us how many users or ‘hits’ this site has gotten so far? With so many of us, so quickly, I’m feeling optimistic that we’ll get Hillary the nomination in August.
Many thanks,
DJ
Thank you Jeremy! I just emailed them with your instructions.
I know what you mean about the old site- sometimes my posts would be getting posted and then all of a sudden- nada. I kept thinking everyone thought I had left–but then they would start appearing again…
I hope they are able to get on–they are emailing me very frustrated!
Murphy- maybe you have to put an explanation on there for what they have to do when you send them the confirmation email…
Jeremy & Antifish,
To be fair to CNN, they do post enough of my comments. Not so much on the weekends, though. It might be bcz I can’t say what needs to be said in under 500 words!
If you ever go back over there, flip back three days ago to their ticker story on June 6 entitled: “CNN Poll: McCain and Obama locked in a dead heat.” I got up the first comment, which was essentially the letter I posted for Dr. Dean on this site. It really roused the hatred of the Obama fans!
I tried to respond to the haters with the following comment on another story, but it never got through:
People like me aren’t racists or white Republicans who are afraid of change or double agents in the pay of the McCain campaign (though we appreciate the fact that you care enough to target us with the sum of all your hate).
We are Democrats who know damn well what will happen if we let you tightly wound fanatical hate-mongers (the “Lunatic Left”), who can do nothing but rant irrationally against anyone who does not worship Obama Almighty, take control of our party. And we are the Democrats who know that the leadership of the Democratic Party has failed us all (Go PUMA PAC!).
Have we all already forgotten that the Religious Right and the Neo-Conservatives (the “Radical Right”) highjacked the Republican Party in 1994 and have only in the last few months finally lost their control over it? How did that 14-year tyranny turn out for the Republican Party and for us all? (Rhetorical question.)
—Btw, they’ve been letting me post “Go PUMA PAC” with my comments for a few days now (I started adding it before I even registered here).
Wow, I think I may be in a wrong website. First of all, I’m an independent from the start. I made a mistake by voting for Bush, his first term…and voted for Kerry in 2004. I had contributed to HRC nearly $1K in the past months. Second, I’m not a female but I join PUMA just to show my support. I just registered to McCain team Yesterday b/c I can’t stand Obama. Am I welcome?
Idea… I like Lou Dobbs (Some may not). As another poster was saying, he is the only one that gave Hillary her proper due and went after the media establishment for their unfair and sexist slams on Hillary. Maybe we should start an email campaign to Lou Dobbs (Independent). That would get PUMA on CNN??? Just a thought for recognition…
I have to go to bed!
It’s been nice to be able to post!
Best,
JGoldman
Sheila7,
The list is a list of Pumas by state. Just blog what state you’re from and maybe sar_ny can add you?
Evy, I’ve edited the instructions as the top of the Open Thread post.
If folks are still stuck, please go back up there and read the 1st paragraph again. Thanks
GLORIA STEINEM HAS FALLING IN LINE AND IS GOING FOR BHO… SHE IS HAVING BUTTONS MADE THAT READ “I AM FOR OBAMA BECAUSE HILLARY IS FOR OBAMA”
THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!
IT IS NOW OR NEVER FOR US… ESPECIALLY US WOMEN.
Is it a requirement to have a 12 year old mentality if you blog for Obama? The battle field is bloody out there. It felt so good, I think I knocked a couple teeth out, and pretty sure I left one crippled. All’s fair in love and politics.
So good to have found you guys, the air is much better in here … like you, the message went unposted on HilaryClinton site … God I feel like we were attacked and the site was under siege … and as each person showed up somewhere, you were like wow, good thing you made it out alive.
Please add my name to list for PA .. .Eastern PA, between Philly and the Lehigh valley.
Thanks Robin for the heads up.
Can you add me to the list from Connecticut?

naboo,
Where did you hear this?

Re: DNC pressure on Hillary to concede.
I understand they are in the process of deciding who they want for VP and plan to make their choice known within two weeks (so was stated by one of the corporate media).
If we can wait until then, as Hillary will most likely not be their choice (or MO’s choice), it will give us more leeway to do what we need to do, without worrying about the reprecussions against our gal.
Another consideration:
The reason the REPs chose McBush as their Nominee is because they hate him too (except for Poor Joe Lieberman!!!!). They felt that they were going to lose anyway (as we all did to Hillary), and that it might as well be someone they could afford to sacrifice.
So! As I see it. We can’t be mamby, pamby, if we want BO to LOSE. We need to SCREW back both the REPs (for GW) and the DEMs, by making sure that McBush wins the GE (of course, if Hillary doesn’t!).
Another concern is that we cannot afford to weaken the Democratic Congress, which is predicted to be veto proof – at least not this time around.
We can work on rehabilitating the DNC after the election!
I’m new at this – These are my pearls for whatever they are worth.
scoozy,
Of course you are.

With a name like scoozy you got to be cool …
Please add me on to the list for Montana. Looks like Ill be the first! Thanks!
From a lady who was at the rally.
=(
I just posted on Greta Wire and told Hillary supporters to come over to pumapac.com and they posted it.
scoozy,
Of course, you’re welcome! Many of us are Democrats that recently switched to independent, some of us are still Democrats, and we’ve even got a few Republicans here. The one thing we all pretty much have in common is we believe Hillary got shafted and we do not support Obama.
Also, we are women and men. Many of us, myself included, have registered at McCain’s site. Some will sit the election out and some will vote for third party candidates. Welcome, and please read “About” at the top of the page.
antifish…………………..Nothing is impossible especially when we have 18 million standing with us. You would be surprised at how easy it is to pull people in once they know what is going on. This is History folks !!! Always remember it is possible and we will make a difference and change things so this never happens again. PUMA’s will be in the history books and long after we are gone people will read about what happened to cause this many people to stand together for our rights.
oops I meant to say .org
i’m going to post this again because i think its important!!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1024927/The-wife-John-McCain-callously-left-behind.html
also please add me to the list from new york! its great to see so many energized people in one place!!! okay gotta be up early!! good night everyone!!
scoozy,
Of course you are welcome. Thanks for joining.
pls add me to this list, im from Knoxville, Tennessee. thanks

Add me to the list. Beverly Leslie southern california
Antifish,
Thank you for the info.
I am newly registered with PUMA today. It is so nice to be on here and see some of the same ppl from HRC site.
I had been trying for the past week to post on there and NONE of them posted. I checked it out today and there is hardly anything there. Mostly OB cross overs which I AM NOT ONE OF and NEVER WILL BE.
I WILL NEVER EVER IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM VOTE FOR OB!
So really look forward to talking with all of you….
If someone could I would appreciate if you could please add me to the list for MN.
Thanks!

GS was there… as you know she was a HRC supporter, but I guess she was that fast to change her mind!
I think I should still knock at her apt.. and call her out.
Don’t know if anyone has used this site for delegates for Hillary http://www.lobbydelegates.com/
At the site you can still lobby delegates for Hillary. It shows who is who and those that are for him can also be contacted. They will send a free fax
Tomorrow another day for Hillary and America!!

suzieforhill,
Thanks. Sometimes I’m overwhelmed by what I witnessed in this primary. I’ve never, in my life, seen a candidate treated like our Hillary. She was so vilified and disrespected! And, the fact that Obama survived Rezko, Wright, Farrakhan, Bittergate, Michelle’s remarks and Pfleger seems beyond comprehension. I have to check and see what country I’m living in at times.
acccck!! I can’t stop reading all the posts!! I must go to bed
It’s just so motivating!
When the list is updated, would you please add me to Connecticut (Litchfield County) ?
Thanks!
Scoozy – of course you are welcome here – I think a lot of people on this site went from Democrats to Independent recently – join in and give some opinions – we all grow from them.
Yesterday, I’ve said I’ve made my final contribution to Hillarys’ campaign. But tonight after much thought, I feel I can’t let her hang dry out there and make those people in DNC have power over her because she still has bills to pay with vendors for this primary. So tonight, I’ve made another donation to her campaign. I feel good about it. The money she’s receiving up to now online from her website or by snail mail goes to her campaign not to NONAME or DNC. That’s the reason she suspend her campaign, that way she wouldn’t be spending any more but whatever donation she received from her supporters goes straight to her vendors.
Hillary has not given up her pledged delegates and superdelegates, she’s going all the way to the convention. She needs funding to go to the convention, this is the where real spending comes into play and her financial standing. Hillary must be debt free from vendors before the convention. Guys/Gals, we must continue contributing to her campaign. Whatever amount you can afford, she needs all the help we can give her.
Money for DNC will be solicited by DNC and attach a note from Hillary for us supporters to contribute.
I read the link about McCain and I think that’s the Obama machine behind that. We do not know what went on in their personal lives and his ex said she is still close to him. It doesn’t change my perception of him. His record and what he has scraficed for this country makes him a hero in my eyes. A POW for five and a half years? Is this correct? Like when Bill Clinton did what he did, IMO, that was between Bill and Hillary and none of my business. So if Hillary isn’t on the top of the ticket, then I”m voting for McCain. I want to make sure BO does not get elected!!!
gordana…………….we can organize now and be prepared to act as soon as we need to. I will be shocked if bo has Hillary for VP. Remember the Minute Men well the PUMA’s are going to be prepared. After the GE we need to work on changing the primary voting system. We do not need delegates or super delegates. We need to vote and count each vote. The system we have right now is all about control. Government control and that needs to be changed. We the People will change the voting system so we elect and not have our government select who they think we should have in office.
The heavens are not opening; the light is not streaming down; there are not heavenly choirs singing; and there is not a voice coming from heavenly throne, but there should be!!! And it should be saying, “Come with me, for anything is possible even Hillary being placed as the Nominee of the undemocratic Democratic Party.”
I can not believe it………another one bites the dust -drank the Kool-Aid and big time. Read the excerpt from their first article and you will read that they are asking their followers to do just about everything now that will have no effect on the support for Hillary and our endeavor for equality and a little liberty. If we do not act now Heaven Help our country! And the couple of known trolls are now embattled with good people. I think I will be sick. Excerpt below:
“As we prepare for subsequent Action Items (Note: our first Action Items will deal with organizational issues such as notifications, capturing youtubes and information on Hillary’s website before it disappears and preparing state by state email lists) we want to repeat and make clear once again what our official stance for this NOvember’s general elections will be.
We will not vote nor ask anyone to vote for John McCain or any Republican because we care too much about the issues before the nation.
McCain too has insulted Hillary in the past or stood by while Hillary was insulted. To his credit McCain apologized to Hillary personally for these insults.
Obama has spread anonymous memos personally attacking Bill and Hillary Clinton and no apologies were ever extended.
More importantly, Obama’s attacks on Hillary were also attacks on her supporters. We were, and are, called “racists” and “Republicans” among other choice slanders by Obama’s campaign and supporters. Hillary is a great and gracious woman capable of forgiving those who have attacked her. We decide how we respond when we are called “racists” and “Republicans”. Our choice is not to vote for the race-baiting, gay-bashing, woman hating, not qualified to be president, Obama.
As much as we respect, admire, and yes, love many of Hillary Clinton’s qualities, we have never been a cult like the incense burners in the Hopium dens. We can disagree, even disapprove of some of Hillary Clinton’s actions yet continue to admire and respect, and yes love Hillary.
Hillary has been and is our candidate, role model, and inspiration. Hillary has never been our Messiah.
We will write in Hillary’s name in NOvember.
We also will not leave the Democratic? Party and we urge everyone to stay in the Party and fight to restore the great party of FDR to its former greatness. We will fight within the party, vote in the Democratic? Party primaries against those who helped the race-baiting, gay-bashing, woman-hating, not qualified to be president, Obama.
We do understand that our view will not be accepted by all Hillary Clinton supporters. Guess what? We will respect your choices. We will respect your decisions. We will not insult anyone who decides to leave the Party that presumes it has no need of them.
Also, the McCain campaign is setting up meetings and an internet webcast for Hillary supporters. We will not participate. Those who wish to participate we will not insult – we will respect your decision even as we disagree.”
Scoozy, I second that. Welcome
I was a regular at hillaryclinton.com but, like many other people experienced, most of my posts didn’t show up. I tried several times to get a final post posted in their last two blogs with no luck. It was disappointing and frustrating not being able to share my ideas for activism and be part of the Hill family discussions (though I read the posts daily, so I know a lot of you already)… Now that I have moved over here to Puma, as a way of introducing myself, I am pasting that final post I tried to post in hillary.com’s final blogs (and which, of course, didn’t show up):
Hillary’s speech on Saturday was very powerful and she really spoke from her heart. I was filled with emotions and cried a few times… But in the part where she was endorsing Obama I could tell that it was not as heartfelt and that she said those things because she had to do it. CBS even commented on this.
As a protest against the unfair treatment that the media and the democratic party have given Hillary, I will vote for McCain in November. (Also, I just don’t think BO is fit to be our president!)
I am an ardent supporter of Hillary. I’ve devoted the last few months to campaigning for Hillary and have donated several hundred dollars. I am deeply saddened at how things have turned out and how this election has been stolen from HRC.
WE WILL REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!!!
Hillary, please do NOT take the VP position! You do NOT deserve to be in second place, playing second fiddle, subordinate to the inexperienced man.
SmellslikeBO – I thought McCain was against gay marriages and Obama was for it – not living in California I do not know exactly but thought I saw that on TV just after reading your post – if that were the case then the Dems would take California – just an uneducated person here that may have been blurry eyed from posting all day to see exactly – maybe someone else on here would know for sure.
Murphy, the excerpt from the article was posted at Hillaryis44.
Scoozy, welcome…………a lot of us were Dems and changed or are changing to Independent. You donated for Hillary so come on in.
NYCgirl, I agree Lou Dobbs sometimes really gave me the impression that he did not like that Obama was getting a free ride. Plus a few times he’d say something to the PHONY Donna Brazile. I still can not believe that she made that speech that is capture on tape and the DNC still allow her to get away with stateing “That they the Black Congressional Caucus , as well as herself HAD THE POWER to SELECT THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE and if don’t think we can think again..” She got it done now it’s up to us to do the right thing and undo it….. GO HILLARY

Just a few examples of anti-Obama articles posted from the Jewish community.
Hi everyone, I’m oklahomahills from guess where?
Oklahoma.
I’m in the fight for democracy and taking back the Democratic Party from the insider thieves and the big media. I will vote John McCain over the selected nominee, BO. They must be stopped or they will do it again.
Goalucard4Hill I think she meant that the people against Gay marriage would come out of the woodwork to vote against this, which would make them go red. I think this is right???
Please add me to the list in Southern Washington (state).
IMPORTANT: About two weeks ago on Fox News, at the end of the Shepard Smith show, they were asking for information on voter fraud. I tried everyday to post this on Hillary’s site but never got it posted. I am asking all of you to let those people know, who witnessed the fraud, especially at caucases, to send the info. to: voterfraud@foxnews.com . They didn’t give a time limit, so I say send EVERY experience or example as soon as possible. They may or may not do anything with it. But let’s try to expose this mess!!
Trying to register for this site (based on my experience):
Please tell the people who are having a hard time getting in to just go to: Register, instead of sending an email to join. This should get you right to sign up and getting a temporary password. (They use weird fonts, cases, symbols, etc. so pay very close attention when you type in your password). I have also been having big problems with trying to get a new password because for some reason, my password wasn’t being accepted. I am not very computer literate, but am asking if ANYONE out there could help with the site, please volunteer to Murphy (I assume that is who is handling the blogs because everyone is mentioning it to him). This is a great place to go, let’s make it happen. Has anyone tried reaching Lindsay Levin from Hillary’s staff to see if she can help out — depending on where her position is. If she is still helping Hillary, she might not be able to help us but may be able to send us to someone that could help.
For those of you concerned about your privacy, set up a different email, on gmail or whoever your provider is and like someone said, use that email for those sites like Puma or other Hillary sites. Keep your regular email for friends, etc.
Rallies, Denver convention and how to organize:
One thought is, if any of you knows or are a conference or wedding planner, this would be a good place to start for information and planning to help get organized either for Denver and other activities.
Those of you out there that planned rallies are already leaders and organizers and may be able to help organizing in different states and/or cities. I think Destiny planned the rally in Studio City, CA so she knows how to organize one. I don’t know if she is here with us but if you are, please let us know. Anyone in Denver? Can you talk to the city about what needs to be done to have a large rally in Denver? If possible, look for a large place for all participants to get together like convention areas at different hotels. Hotels that accommodate large weddings can give you all sorts of information. They have planners in the hotels that know all about putting together a a large-scale meeting in their facilities. Find out how much it cost to rent one of their large convention rooms for everyone to meet and rally. Then we can start getting a handle on budget and what it might cost each of us to contribute to the gathering place. We could organize as a group from one of those places, have tables and microphones set up, maybe even have them make lunches for us each day. These things all cost but we donate and/or charge the attendees ahead of time and the money is distributed between all of the rallyers (don’t think that is a word, but oh well..). We may even be able to get some sponsors??! We can meet at each place in a large group, then break out by states and off to the rally. We could do this each day of the Denver convention.
I have done some planning and organizing but on a much smaller scale than of a million people. I have ideas but unfortunately have major back problems so I can only help out to a limited degree.
One more thought, I don’t actually know if Geraldine Ferraro is an actual member of Congress but maybe someone could contact her and delicately feel her out generally about where she stands on the way Hillary was treated and how far she might want to go with it. It would be great to get some people who are major people in politics and we KNOW feel like us about how Hillary and women in general were treatedduring this campaign and if they want to try and make schanges to the abusive system. We don’t want to give her al the details but a kep politician and even some movie stars who might want to help could FORCE the media to cover us.
I desperately want to make things happen so we can fiercely stand up for Hillary, her rights, our rights and how we feel about the tactics of the DNC, BO and his bots. This isn’t the time to get mad, it is time to get even!!!
Sorry if I rattled on… but this is SOOO important to me and I want HIllary to be sworn in in January as our new President.
Diva1
My goal is to have Hillary for our President. Plain and simple but if I can not have Hillary in 08 then I will do everything in my power so bo is not elected ( or will it be selected ) I am not sure if I have faith in the system especially what happened these last 7 1/2 years. I am down right scared if I don’t go out and vote in Nov for McCain then bo might just be our president. As far as the party goes I am going Independent to send a message loud and clear. I have been a dem for 40 years so this isn’t the easiest thing for me to do but they will get the message.
I’ve enjoyed “talking” to all the Pumas today! Good night, everyone.
JGoldman1-I understand what you are saying. My posts were sparse in the site you mentioned. I don’t want to dramatize it. Then I got re-directed to a site that had quick reads and feedback. Again, I won’t mention it. I don’t won’t to sound like a cynic. But I hear the frustration. I thank Murphy for this outlet.
Wow, it took me like 20 minutes scanning and reading all of your posts!!
Please add my name to the list! Denver, COLORADO is in the house!

Just got thie form WomenCount PAC! We are not alone!
Dear friends of WomenCount PAC,
For all of us, this has been a difficult week. We, like you, are listening to our hearts, searching our brains, and deliberating where we go from here.
Here is what we know:
First, Hillary’s loss in the primary does not in any way defeat her vision or undercut our respect for her. Indeed, it reinforces our commitment to her, her values, and the wisdom and conviction she would have brought to the job she so courageously sought.
Second, Hillary showed us how to lead. Hillary showed us how to stand erect and proud in the face of constant onslaught. Her dignity, strength, and grace through this election made all of us stronger, kinder, and more determined to act.
And most important of all, Hillary challenged us to continue the fight for what we hold so dear: health care for everyone, a good start for our children, a sound economy, a strong foreign policy, and a smart energy policy, to name just a few.
Hillary said she wanted to be president to address the needs of those Americans who too often are “invisible.” Well, now, we must not be invisible. We must speak, act and organize to make sure that our vision is respected and our values are addressed.
WomenCount PAC, through our advertising campaign, has done just that and we intend to continue. We want to publish another ad the end of this week, and we need your help.
If you have already contributed and can give again, please do. If not, please consider a contribution to support our effort. Go to http://www.womencountpac.com for instructions on giving.
We have talked throughout the campaign about our votes and our voices and the importance of being heard. Now, more than ever, we must shout from the rooftops why 18 million people voted for Hillary Clinton. Please, join our proud, defiant chorus!
Warmly,
The WomenCount PAC Team
jgoldman and yrm…thanks for the links.
Unfortunately, it all makes sense.
I got the same impression about Lou Dobbs, I don’t think he liked the free ride at all…Obama bashes him every chance he gets.
Got to sleep.
Good night all.
I ordered from cafepress.com, a bumper sticker that says nobama with an upside down democratic symbol next to it. I will cut the nobama part off with his pic and just have the upside down democratic symbol on the back of my Jeep!
I don’t want a pic of the barry on my car!
Time for site maintenance Folks. Comments will be held until the morning. Thank you for all the letters and inspiration. See you in the am.
Night all!
Genevieve is doing “the list”, but I don’t know what criteria she is using. If you posted on the postcard-1000 ideas thread, I did not enter your name and state unless you requested. I’ve tried to update as much as possible. This will be read in the morning (Monday). I’ll be at work and home around 3 PDT on West Coast. Gnevieve, should I stop doing this. I have it on MS Word. I can pick up those in the evening since I’m on the West Coast if you need help. Let me know.

Hi everyone! there seems to be some confusion on the threads with some who question whether we are actually doing something, or just blogging & belly aching:
the answer is, we are
-writing letters to Hillary, DNC, to the SD’s,
-sending Dean our torn up party affiliation cards,
-registering independent,
-helping the McCain campaign to stop Obama,
-contacting and/or contributing $ to the opponents of the Dems that participated in this debacle
-contacting our newspaper editors, talk radio, media outlets and other blogs about pumapac
-contacting our own representatives
-sending pumapac $$ to get paid advertising and activism
-refusing to be labeled racist just because we don’t want to vote for him, but do want to stand up for our rights.
-printing flyers, post cards and business cards to hand out to people, to get more people involved with the fight
-emailing and calling everyone we know, and asking them to do the same to get the word out.
-some (or alot?) are going to Denver, taking it to the streets
-some are designing things like t shirts, bumper stickers, etc. not only to get the word out but to raise $$ for pumapac.
-some are beginning to organize locally
-boycotting TV Stations that have propaganda machines rather than balanced journalism
-contributing to Hillarys debt, or Senate re-election
WOW, I guess we’re doing quite alot for only being a few days!
-Oh almost forgot, we’re gonna vote, en masse, to keep Obama out of the White house.
did I forget anything?
TXpuma (or anyone being so kind),
Could you add me for
Cate Gray
San Diego County, California
THANKS!
Good nite folks…………….tomorrow is coming quickly
Everyone rest, refresh and remember our goals.
Take care
DottieParker….LOVE your name —Dorothy Parker is a hero of mine and one of America’s greatest writers.
And I SO TOTALLY agree that your link is important. I detest McCain for dumping his wife like that, and she is SO RIGHT, all these aging hideous men want to be 25 and blame their wives for aging but through prestige or money get bimbos to agree to be arm-candy (or in McCain’s case, also a Sugar Mama).
It is a testament to how much I detest the FRAUD Obama that I could ever be induced to vote for McCain.
But 4 more years of thug hell is the PRESCRIPTION for what ails us. A lot of “medicine” is made from poison. We can take this last small dose for the cure for our national sickness.
Please check and DO NOT CUT AND PASTE. Just e-mail the correction and/or request (name, state and any extra information). I have refrained from giving e-mails. The list was just for knowledge of who is in each region of the country. If you give your e-mail, its up to you to be responsible for its posting (security reasons).

Hillaryis44 has drunk the Kool Aid, but without warning. Evidently Paul Villareall, one of the two brothers who did a lot of posting and did a number of YouTube videos, was not able to get dissention posted so he went to his own place and posted there.
We need to bring those good people over here where they will not get brainwashed and where they will not get discouraged. Some are already here but over there fighting the good fight. I made this post there a little while ago:

Understand this:
-a vote for McCain is a 2fer, Obama has to get one vote to cance, and he has to get another vote to gain – Voting McCain if Hillary is not the nominee is the only options are:
-a write is not possible in a number of states, deadlines have past or about to pass in many states, the candidate has to register/get signatures/and pay a fee; many states do not even let a candidate who was on a primary ballot register for write in status
-staying at home would not work this election cycle because that would be one vote that did not go against Obama; and he can do things like resurrect the dead for their votes-every vote AGAINST him is NEEDED if you do not want Obama to be elected.A number of states bundle the write ins and give it to that party’s candidate – this would be a vote for Obama.
-changing to INDEPENDENT voting status is the single most important thing that we can do, it is like hitting Obama over the head with a 2×4; and it feels so liberating because then you can support the candidate and not any undemocratic Democratic Party- not changing status means that Obama can steal your votes
-remember that the undemocratic Democratic Party LEFT YOU, you did not leave the undemocratic Democratic Party.
Make them work to woo you back after the general election-you would have some power then.
-people have a right to make their own decision about what to do about the THEFT of America; but if these fundamental calls to action above are no adhered to – God Save Our Country! The people who say things contrary to these calls to action are not a friend to America; they are likely Obamabots; or else they have been strongarmed by the Chicago styles politics.
Enjoyed Paul Villareall’s post off site. Paul come to
blog.pumapac.org, we have not drunk the Kool Aide.
HELLO everyone i finally found my way over here Whew!!! Ive been looking for everyone since i cant post at Hillary clinton.com I was luckytlc over there and im glad to find of the names that i know and have seen for over 15 months !!!! Back with my TEAM HILLARY YEAH!!!!!
cAN SOMEONE PLEASE ADD MY NAME TO THE LIST
IMLUCKYTLC FROM CALIFORNIA
Hi everyone! Have been busy with family all day. Just now got a chance to settle down and check on my PUMAS! You guys have been busy and productive. GREAT JOB PUMAS!!! I’ll try to catch up and read some of the comments. Will post more later!
BTW, add me to the list for Tennessee, city of Clarksville!
Hello everyone, this is my first of many post to this website I’m sure. I want to introduce myself to you, and to say I know this is going to be a long, hard fight,but Hillary is worth it all. Murph seems to know what he is doing, so Murph, I’m trusting you to lead us. This is one of the most important things in my life. Senator Clinton has endured so much during this campaign that it’s truly remarkable that she held on until the end. I can’t recall ever having such feelings of hatred in all my life such as what I’ve felt over the past 3 or 4 months. I’m still crying and heartbroken. I want everyone from Nancy Pelosi to Chris Matthews to suffer for the unfair and biased way in which they have treated Hillary. We are the American people and we will not tolerate this. It’s unconstitutional what has happened. My heart goes out to Senator Clinton. I’m certain she is very hurt , and behind closed doors she has probably cried an ocean of tears. It’s a sad day in America for millions. I’m with all of you that want to fight for Hillary Clinton. I’m in to win.
Action Item: Email Nancy Pelosi at:AmericanVoices@mail.house.gov
As we get our bearings and organize at our new PUMA Village, let’s each send an email tomorrow to Nancy Pelosi with our own personal comments, reactions to what has transpired. Saturday was one of the saddest days of my adult life (didn’t I hear something like that before?). I so want Monday to be a wake up call for our Speaker of the House of what’s to come from the PUMAS…how can she honestly get a good night’s sleep knowing what a grave injustice has happened- caused by our own dear Party…
God Bless and Good Night!
Okay. Here we go again. Remember, DO NOT CUT AND PASTE. Give your username and state. No e-mails for this list. Last Updated list: 10:20 PM PDT . Goodnight.

I am a 65 yr old single male, and a life long democrat. Have been a supporter of the Clintons since 1992. I have had the honor of seeing the Clintons here in upstate NY several times. They vacationed about 10 miles from me at Terry Macauliffe’s home in the summer of ’98′. They have been in my home town several times to visit the Harriet Tubman home and the William H. Seward Home. Hillary has been in Seneca Falls several times to visit the birthplace of “Womens Rights”, and every year they come to the NY State Fair in Syracuse. I am proud to have Hillary Clinton as my Senator from New York!!
Gratefulness Candles
Oh, and we brought our candle altar/vigil from the Hillary site with us over here. At the Hillary site, we kept a candle vigil going for a long time at this site under group HRC. The candles last 48 hours so we keep going and lighting the candles to keep them going…
You can sign them PUMA in honor of our new home…
Beware that some O trolls like to lurk there just ignore them.

Hi All!
Add me to the list of members:

Knox County, Tennessee
Whoever’s running the list, I’m in Arizona! Please add me!
ACTION ALERT: PUMA SUPERDELEGATE COMMITTEE
We have 78 DAYS until the Denver convention–78 DAYS during which Obama is NOT the official nominee. This is a gift which we cannot afford to waste. Hillary’s pledged delegates are safe (secured in a lock-box a la Al Gore), so we need to focus our energy on SUPERDELEGATES. I think the priority should be:
1. UNDECLARED SDs in Congress whose states/districts went for Hillary.
2. SDs WHO ENDORSED CLINTON and stuck to it! We must hold on to their votes.
3. SDs WHO ENDORSED CLINTON BUT SWITCHED TO OBAMA under DNC pressure. Better leverage for us if their constituents supported Hillary.
4. SDs WHO ENDORSED OBAMA whose states/districts went for Hillary.
Our letters/calls will of course be POSITIVE and PRO-HILL–the perfect accompaniment to Obama’s downward spiral. Not a single superdelegate vote has been cast yet.
Murphy: Can we start a thread dedicated solely to this purpose? Not an open discussion thread, but one in which we can keep an organized, ongoing list of superdelegates, whom (if anyone) they endorsed, who won in their states/districts, and how many PUMAs have contacted each of them. I volunteer to help lead this project so as not to overburden our good moderator. Who else wants to join me? Please send an e-mail to margenau08@gmail.com and we will discuss logistics. A semi-automated system/form would be best, I think–this might take a few days to set up. (Murphy, I have some experience with web design and can help implement the system if you want. Thanks for all you do!)
I hope that other committees (publicity etc.) will get underway soon.
From the DNCC site:
“When the 45th Democratic National Convention is called to order on Monday, August 25, 2008 in Denver, Colorado, it will be the culmination of more than 24 months of formal planning by the Democratic Party to structure a nominating cycle and nominating Convention that represents the Party’s principles of openness, fairness and diversity.”
Let’s give the Party one last chance to uphold those “principles.”

Hey- we just had our heart broken on Saturday and our brain feels like when you drink a margarita too fast- for those who have done so–and you have a brain freeze because we are stunned with the injustice of what we have witnessed…and yet the MSM and the Party wants to go on like nothing was amiss…but we know what’s up..that’s why we are here…

Haitianpuma from Keystone heights, Florida
it is 1:45 AM and there is a debate in CNN were BOH is being compared to Bob Kennedy’s glory.
Is the media trying to recreate the uprising of 1968…The Hillary revolution will be a peaceful one while justice will be done
Good night pumas
i’m glad i can come on here and see familiar names from hillaryclinton.com my name is star hassfeld, on there…….it’s most definetly a ghost town over there…..i don’t think they have mods working the blogs anymore, because i have sent countless comments with none of them being posted……
one thing i have to mention, on cnn.com (which i’m trying my darndest to stay away from) says that hillary has to convince us to vote for obama, i say what the heck??? shouldn’t HE be the one trying to convince us???? not that it’s going to work because i for one will NOT be voting for him, but it just continues to infuriate me (again, another reason why i’m trying to stay away)
anyhoo…..have a good night everyone, i look forward to hearing more about a million woman march, that’s something i would love to partake in
good night PUMAs 
A friend sent me this by Heather Wilson, a Republican Rep from New Mexico. Heather responded to an op-ed in the Times called ‘What Went Wrong’. with her piece called ‘The Hermione Clinton’ “The Democratic nominating system favors the most liberal candidate — in this case, Barack Obama. But there is a second reason Hillary Clinton lost that some are reluctant to openly acknowledge: a latent and lamentable sexism. She lost because the superdelegates — the Democratic establishment — went against her. She became a caricature: too smart, too strong, too assertive, too rational, too competent. Think how the young Harry Potter and his male friends initially reacted to Hermione Granger and you get the idea.” I’m so glad to see this in the Times, and by a Republican no less. I bet we’ll start seeing more supportive pieces like this for Hillary.
Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to check in and let you all know that I will get my letter to Howard Dean ready tomorrow. Also, gina613, can you email me a copy of the pamphlet? My addy is mpayton23@yahoo.com Thanks! I’m going to try to get many from WV to join our cause!

McCain’s site is about the last place I expected to find humor, but this is cute.
http://www.johnmccain.com/mccainreport/Read.aspx?guid=b9b8f2d2-2a47-4d45-8667-407cb744e9a0#
That doesn’t mean the thought of voting Republican doesn’t make me blow chunks. Cynthia McKinney is looking pretty good.
Please add me to the list in New York City.
Just wanted to highlight a great Anglachelg thought:
“The deep problem of Obama’s campaign is that he and his supporters do not want to face the political reality of their own conflicting desires. They both want to sweep to victory in November and they want to purge the party of anything connected to the Clintons, which includes all of the voting contituencies represented by that amazing and talented duo. The failure of the Unity Pony stems directly from that fantasy of majority status without majority support and the political work and compromises that go with cultivating that support. ”
PUMA I
Hi Puma’s!
I, like many of you, have been a member of HillaryClinton.com for months and months and never once have I actually seen any of my many attempts to post and become part of that community, so I do hope this shows up!
Please add me to the list of members, and also, whoever is doing it, you might want to go up to the beginning of this blog and pick up the remainder of the Washington State group, because it looks like you dropped off several of them.
Thanks!
Chris in Washington State (southwest washington)
Remember the article that said, Puma Company should come and check out our logo. I found out why:
http://www.pumaparty.com/forum/
Murphy are you in anyway connected with this group?If not you may want to rebutt that article.
Everyone on this site needs to remember the old media too. Write letters to the editors of the newspapers in your state. So far they have loved the disaffected Hillary voter stories — let’s give them more. If you know a reporter, see if s/he will interview you and write a PUMA story. In all letters to the editor, include the PUMA pac url so people know where to come. If you get a story or a letter printed, let us know about it.
Murphy, how about getting a P.O. box for snail mail responses from readers of our letters to the editors who don’t have internet access? We should reach out to the seniors and others who are dems but have been disgarded by “the One.”
GOOD MORNING FELLOW PUMAS! I chatted with both of my parents last night. Both have been life long democrats except for my dad’s lapse to Reagan in his first term. Both of them will be voting for McCain because Senator Obama is simply not fit to be Commander-in-Chief. They live in Florida and tell me that none of the other retirees that they know will be voting for Obama. They needed no convincing.
I really don’t think that the so-called “super-delegates” who voted for Obama thought this out. There will always be people who vote for their party out of some blind sense of party loyalty. But it always the people who choose to make independent decisions who decide who will win the Presidency. We must keep our chins up and stay strong, no matter who drinks the Kool Aide.
Good morning (early morning) fellow PUMA’s.
First let me say that those of us that have come to the conclusion to leave the undemocratic Democratic Party need to make our voices heard as much as possible so in addition to drafting a letter Howard Dean, I am also drafting a letter to the Head of the Demcratic Party Chair for the state of Florida, indicating why I can not fall in-line, If enough of us do speak out we will eventually be heard, and if not our voice, then our actions. For anyone interested the Chair for the Democratic Party in Florida is
Congresswoman Karen L. Thurman

On a side note, I have decided that if god forbid Obama should continue to be the nominee after the convention in August when anyone of the Obamabots contacts me and attempts to pursuade me to “drunk” the KOOL-AIDE I will simply state that I am a PUMA, I will never ever back or support Obama.
Also (i’m sure as most of us are aware of the processes in our states we reside in) I just wanted to let everyone know that some states do have closed primaries which simply means that you can only vote within the party you are registered for in a primary election. I believe in Florida you need to register 28 days prior to any primary for the party in which your candidate is in. (just want to put that out for future reference for 2012) those who leave the party will have to rejoin the party for the primary season in 2012 to back Hillary then. Being a person that has volunteered in the “polling arena” on election day, I have seen all to often the independent walking in on Primary day and wondering why they have “no choices” for President.
Some states have “open” primaries which means independents can choose which ever candidate they choose and again I know this is not vital information just want the information to be circulated so that we make no errors the next time around.
ADDITIONALLY, I’m not sure what the list is that I keep seeing posted (not sure if it’s just for tracking purposes or what, I somehow or another missed that thread, but please DO ADD ME TO IT, and again I’m in Ft Lauderdale, Fl.
In local protests or marchs I will be a part of, any protests or marches on Denver and the convention (unforunately being a person who has been diagnosed with AIDS and has an extremely limited income) I would not be able to do without some sort of sponsorship, I dont mention this looking for some sort of financial support, rather again just want to say that for OUR CAUSE, for OUR rally, for OUR protest I will stand tall and say that I am proud to be a PUMA.
I will do all that I can do phsyically for this movement unfortunately I can not to much this movement in terms of finances. With that said MURPHY thank you for giving us this place to band together, and please let me know via email if there is any other way other than making a donation to the cause that I can assist you with the efforts here, because I am willing, able and ready to help making our voices heard.
While refusing to drunk the kool aide I am also patiently awaiting the implosion of Nobama.
I am PUMA hear me ROAR (wait do puma’s roar??)

I think it’s time for us to begin discussing our groups intentions for protesting at the convention . I , for one will be there if I have to ride my horse all the way to Denver , but I would love to see us make a legitimate plan to protest as a group . Feedback ?
I love the spirit here.
The media is already blaming Hillary if BO loses in November. Check it out here.

Also Womencount wants to do another add this week; they are looking for help.
Good Morning all,
For my family today is the first day of summer, school is out! The tears have finally stopped, the puffiness from my eyes gone, and I think I can talk politics today without hitting people. lol Its a new day!
Time to (as Hill says) roll up my sleeves and be ready on day one! Letters will be flying, postcards will be mailed, more emails will be sent, more phone calls will be made, and connections will be forged!
Thank you for starting PUMA this will be a proud time in our history when all is done. Kids will be reading about this movement in future history books as we will prevail.
As stated here at Puma: We Will Take it From Here!
……better get coffee……………. linda

Good morning, PUMA friends!
Please add me to the list – Southwestern PA
xdemocrat, thanks for pointing our Anglachel’s essay. Her blog is a daily MUST READ for Pumas. Her political analysis and brilliant insight put the millionaire professionals on TV and in the papers to SHAME. Please, everyone — read Anglachel and Riverdaughter and Corrente-Wire every day. They’re in the blogroll in the right sidebar.
In OHIO I was told by the election board whom I just phoned that I can not change my registration until 2010!
What?
I wanted to change to independent to send my message to the DNC.
Now I’m really disgusted. Never tell a pre-menopausal women “you can’t”.
Anyone else in OHIO have this problem?
My morning comment to Anderson Cooper on his ‘Morning Buzz” Blog regarding the new attempt to place the blame on Hillary when the Dems lose the GE (doubt he will post it ..)
It’s amazing the way the media , and the DNC are putting it all on Sen. Clinton to bring her die hard voters ‘back into the fold ” . The obvious structure of this directive that has been given to the candidate who won the popular vote is nothing less than , ” bring them back or you will be blamed for our defeat in November .”
Unlike many of the Obama supporters , Clinton backers have supported the SUBSTANCE and POLICIES of our candidate , not just the personae . Our core beliefs have not changed overnight .
To add to our unwillingness to ‘fall in line’ behind the candidate who was SELECTED by the Democratic leadership NOT elected by the people is the unethical actions of the R&B committee in dividing the votes in Mi. by actually TAKING votes from Sen Clinton , and giving Obama votes that were never even cast for him .
The hypocricy of the Leadership of the DNC has been blatant during this primary season from Ms. Brazile objecting to SDs choosing the candidate early on then changing her position when the SDs put her candidate on the top of the ticket , to Nancy Pelosi flip flopping on the SDs supporting the popular vorte winner , to Howard Dean strong arming the entire process in favor of Obama.
Our position to protest the Nov. election if Obama is still at the top of the ticket has NOTHING to do with race or being loyal to our candidate . It is about PRINCIPLE . Our core values and personal truths .
We are protesting the DNC and the unregulated caucus system that awards more delegates for fewer votes , the rampant sexism and misogyny that was perpetuated throughout the campaign , the decision by the R&B committee not to count all of the votes from Fla. and Michigan , and their not recognizing the popular vote winner as the nominee .
We support Sen. Clinton , we feel that she won the nomination , but we will not support the Democratic Party or a candidate who has the audacity to proclaim himself the winner of an election by not allowing all of the votes to be counted .
Until the Party amends these infractions and rectifies the nominating process , we do not consider ourselves to be Democrats . We will continue to support our candidate , the winner of the popular vote , as Pumacrats for Sen.Clinton .
Hello, wonderful people. I’m very new here. Never blogged in, but I have read your hearts and souls for days now, and it is the only thing that has given me hope. My concern is that we must take all of these feelings of betrayal and make them really, really work. We must convey the seriousness of what they have done to such a remarkable lady and how it has shattered our trust. I need to vent. We all will. But there has to be something that can come of us that will make the idiotic DNC and Obamanuts sit up and say “WHOA! What was that noise?”
I am preparing a letter for Mean Dean,and I will donate to PUMA. This was the first election in my many years on the planet that I actually donated so much money and tears. It has to mean something.
I’m a teacher in Alabama and Hillary was the ONLY candidate who had a decent plan for the No Child Left Behind Act (she was going to scrap it–as it should be). With Junior in the running–it won’t happen.
More later–luvya

Lin4Hill , please go to the “1000 reasons” thread on this website and post your letter there to Mr. Dean .
Glad to see you on here ! Welcome !
There are lots of reasons to be here at PUMA. Certainly the FL and MI votes should have been counted. On Cnn I have heard members of the RBC state that FL and MI delegations will be reinstated by the convention. There is no question that BO did not have a right to Hillary’s delegates. BO and the DNC suppressed the required delegates and inflated his delegate count. These are serious wrongs to HC, the party and the people.
I think, though it is important to focus on something right. Hillary Clinton believes in the American people. She trusts the good in Americans. She knows how serious our problems are – they are very serious.
At the same time, not only does she know what she is doing, but her belief in us and our goodness combined with powerful persistence gives her the confidence to know we can solve our problems.
One of the reasons I am here is because I am tired of the sneering contempt of the media and Obamabrats. It is high time we had a leader who is about the best in us not the worst.
Keep the faith.
Does anyone know whether the teacher’s union has endorsed Obama? If not, is it a group we could partner up with?
Hello everyone. I would first like to say that I am a Republican. Not what you would call a conservative but a moderate. Even though I am a McCain supporter it wouldn’t have been a problem with me if Senator Clinton won the white house. A lot of my fellow Republicans would look at me like I was insane if they heard me say that BUT when you compare her to Obama…Hilary wins hands down. The reason it wouldn’t have bothered me is because I know she is qualified and understands what needs to be done for our country. I don’t always agree with her but in my experience you never agree with someone 100% of the time. At least with Senator Clinton I can find common ground. Not even close with Obama. When it comes down to it I am an American first and a Republican second. That’s why I would have had no problem with Senator Clinton as president. She is a tough lady and has shown that she can lead. Even if I don’t always agree with her she has my utmost respect. Whether anyone will admit it or not a lot of Republicans feel the same way. To be honest, the idea of Obama as president scares me. I can’t believe he has gotten such a free pass which would have drove McCain and Clinton out of the race if they had the same associates and problems. One of the main reasons I wanted to join this site is to say how despicable I think it is the way the press treated Senator Clinton. They couldn’t come down on her because of the issues. They had to twist everything she said and turn it negative. IF she or Bill Clinton dared to say that Obama was not qualified it got turned into a race issue. Just look at what they did to Geraldine Ferraro. It was disgraceful. As a woman it angered me that they had to critique her make up and clothing. Where Clinton looked stiff in her appearance…Obama looked relaxed without his tie. WTF? is that all about and how did it have anything to do with what’s going on in this country?? That’s called journalism now of days. Did anyone see that video of all the women reporters moaning and stuff because Obama was in jeans?? Okay…sorry…I am rambling. I just wanted to point out that I think it’s great what you guys are doing. I am not one of the Republicans who think it’s great that Obama is the nominee because he may be easier to beat. I look at the bigger picture and wonder what would happen to this country if he actually won. At least with Senator Clinton I know I am going to get someone qualified and who can actually run this country. That’s more important to me then which party the person belongs to. One other thing…I lurk on a lot of sites and I have will to say that Senator Clinton supporters are so much more respectful to other POV’s than Obama supporters. Don’t get me wrong…there are some pretty nasty Republicans out there….my point is that Obama supporters seem to think that free speech only applies to them. That old saying…free speech for me…and not for thee. For the record not all of us Republicans are evil. Some of our views may be different but there are a lot of us who just want what’s best for our country and if that means Senator Clinton or Senator McCain then I am fine with it. Just not Obama. Thanks for listening.
Good Morning Puma Family RE: If Barack doesn’t win – Of course they will blame Hillary and her supporters because they don’t get it that millions of people won’t vote for him because he doesn’t have any experience . Let the Media and pundits and BO’s camp keep saying these things, and anyone who might be thinking of supporting him, will soon be here in droves. Have the media and pundits learned nothing?
Please add me to the Massachusetts list.
Glad to see you all here-
Keep the Faith!
Please add me to Colorado (Boulder)
Someone on Gretawire pointed out the interview in which MO was asked if she would support Hillary if she was the nominee and her response was , “I’ll have to think about it .”
I think that is a brilliant statement to point out . The Obamas have been held to a completely different set of standards throughout this entire process .
Good morning! Please add me to the list for Northeastern PA.
Glad to see some familiar names here!

Okay, I have finished with the list of MSNBC sponsors and contact information (still working on CNN). It has come to my attention…didn’t occur to me before…that we can notify GE, parent company of MSNBC, that we can boycott the Olympics which are to be aired on NBC. Is this too rash? Do we want to send a powerful message to the network that we will not abide by the sexist treatment that Hillary received? (as someone said in an earlier blog…remember Imus). If this is something the PUMA Pac wants to do, then I will compose a letter that we can each forward to GE, MSNBC, etc., with copies to all of the sponsors. So, if this is a go, please send me suggestions of what you want to be included in this letter. I will get cracking on it after work today if this is the stance we want to take as a group. There is always the alternative of each of us sending our own letters…this is merely a question I am posing to PUMAS.
WHY I SUPPORT HILLARY HILLARY CLINTON
Hillary Clinton is the strongest Democratic candidate to face John McCain in the general election. Below are the reasons why I believe this is the case.
1. More public service experience
2. More legislative experience in the U.S. congress
3. More established foreign government leadership relationships
4. More detailed solutions to problems
5. More tenacity and toughness to handle a foreseeable brutal general election campaign
In the workplace, I support the hiring of candidates with the best experience and capabilities. As such, based on Hillary Clinton’s experience, I support her over Barack Obama for the most powerful position in the world today.
WHY I AM ANGRY WTIH THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY . . .
I am very angry with the Democratic Party’s leadership because they disenfranchised Floirida and Michigan rank-and-file Democrats, and pushed Hillary Clinton out of the race.
FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN PRIMARIES MATTER . . .
Florida and Michigan rank-and-file Democrats should have never been told by the Democratic Party that they could not participate in the selection of the nominee because state legislatures set voting dates that were NOT aligned with the DNC’s schedule.
PUSHING HILLARY CLINTON OUT OF THE RACE . . .
The Democratic Party’s leadership should have been independent and impartial. They should have allowed Hillary Clinton to stay in the race until all super delegate votes were cast at the convention.

My first post here…please add me to the list (NJ).
P.S. Thanks for giving us a united voice!
Hello, friends! I finally made it here to join many of the good people I have known from the Hillary Blog on her website. I hope to be back in contact with all of you wonderful people! Say hello to me anytime!
Steve ( Owensboro Steve)
People, I know the list of names and places we hail from is long and hard to scroll through. It is useful however. When our site is upgraded this week we will move the list over to its own page so that people can update and add themselves on their own.
Please bear with us.
We will hit the 100,000 site visits mark before noon today — that is in just a handful of days.
PLEASE consider sending a contribution. We really do need it to keep this site going and our movement growing.
$5 or $10 from a lot of people goes a LONG way. Funds collected are used EXCLUSIVELY for building the Puma PAC and blog. We are a political action committee registered with the Federal Elections Commission.
Click on the link to contribute, and thank you so much to those who have contributed already.

I am really angry about the way Hillary has been treated by the Democrats.
There is proof Obama cheated in Fla. Obama not his “helpers”.
He took his name off the ticket voluntarily in Michigan.
He should have recieved no delegates.
Has anyone independant of the Dems. looked it to the buying of Delegates ? After all there was one ON TV that said he was up for sale to the highest bidder. If the buying that was being done was that open it shouldn’t be that hard to prove, and to find out who was doing it.
It is time to show the politicians who runs the country.
I am so sad about Hillary’s website. Now it just says to support Obama. I will not do it. There is no reason why she should concede when she has the popular vote and she should be the nominee. The DNC has completely ignored the will of the people and have run her into the ground. It is so good to see so many of the wonderful people from Hillary’s blog here continuing to do what we do.

Please record me as being from MA.
I’m purchasing some T-shirts for my friends. If anyone is interested here is the link: http://dyo.customink.com/cink/r.jsp?E=mpdamon%40comcast.net&F=party
I have no financial interest in this company . . . just wanted an obvious way to engage acquaintances in conversation.
Good moning fellow PUMAS – there is a letter to the editor in the MPLS Star Trib this am from an *61 supporter thanking Hillary “for your inspiring & historic run for the presidency of the US. As a fervent supporter of women’s equality, a not-so-long-ago avid defender of your husband, a life-long Democrat and a ‘recent supporter of Barack Obama’, I was somewhat saddened as I watched the delegate count surge over the top for Obama on Tuesday night. You should take heart that, despite the end of your campaign, you earned some accolades and there is still some important work for you to do.
Your tenacious campaign has energized the party, prepared Obama to run a stronger compaign in the fall, demonstrated your awesome political skill, and helped show the world that the citizens of this country want to retreat from the Bush/McCain policies of endless war and bad government.
Congratulations for a good fight. Thank you for the dignity and grace of your campaign, your commitment to uniting the country in a very important election in November, and your future help in governing in the Obama administration. Signed Steve Dahl, Minneapolis”
Please, please hold me back – WTF? I was starting to calm down some after Saturday but now I’m back up to the point that I need someone to hold me back. I will be writing a letter to the editor about how I personally feel – and since words are so important according to the bot, the words will be – I’m not ready to play nice, Hell has no fury like a woman scorned, I will remember in November. I am not a stupid, uneducated, ignorant, tired old white female trash clinging to guns and religion, but I am a member of PUMA and 1 of 18 million who have not given up on Hillary Clinton being our presidental nominee in November. I will do everything in my power to see that Obama is not elected president – even if (my hands are shaking) that means voting for a republican. I am so hoping that Hillary will be on the ballot come November that I can’t focus on McCain and the republicans right now. This bastard has the audacity (ugh) – his letter reads like he is patting the little woman on the head & saying you really tried your best – now just go away and shut up but before you do that, support the man………anyone else who feels inclined to send a letter – the email address is opinion@startribune.com. They want letters brief, up to 250 words – at the moment, I have way more than 250 – gotta calm down & then write the letter.
Thanks for letting me vent………………….
Good morning! I should be listed under CA.
I wanted to respond about the media comments. It is typical *61 spin for the MSM to preblame her if he loses. What nonsense! I am sick and tired of the pundits making excuses for this unworthy candidate.
Please keep writing your brilliant letters across the web. The posts that I’ve read here are terrific and why *61 is an unacceptable presidential candidate. Someone had written that Hillary was fighting the establishment and her mountain to climb was tremendous. Well, we have her back and need to take the offensive full-speed ahead to defeat *61.
Murphy -
saw this (in response to my request to people to check you out) on the Confluence from someone named Marla – don’t know if it is any big deal, but I am concerned about people being mislead when they try to google your page:
PUMApac seems to be under attack already. Is that what you refer to, among other things? I’m still struggling with learning about blogs and had just typed in pumpac.org in Google. A website came up saying PUMApac could not have registered so quickly, is not legitimate, and is just taking money from the “disenfranchised.” It tells the reader not to donate. It’s pumas4change.wordpress.com/ I wonder if Murphy has seen it.
Good Morning,
My name is off the list. Terrig Washington Snohomish County.
Thanks,
what is this list? I am a registerd user in FL but don’t see my name on it. I am very adamant about the cause, I need to wait till wednesday to donate but I will at that time.
Good morning everyone – I just wanted to say that we need to find Arctic907 and Gay Gal too!
thanks murphy, thats a great idea!
Yes, they’ve been blaming Hillary for everything, and they are definitely going to blame her when Obama tanks.
How about laying some responsibility on Barack to be the Uniter he bragged he is? How about his friendly wife who threatens to scratch people’s eyes out and snarled that she’d have to think long and hard about supporting a Hillary win? Don’t we have that same privilege to think long and hard?
Finally, Donna Braziele said we’re not even needed.
How about some bowing, scraping and pleading from those three?
Hmmm…this sounds like a meme we could easily push back on by writing letters to local outlets.
Suzie1945 – you go girl – let em have it – I found while blogging on all the newspapers in Penna, Texas, Ohio, N. Carolina, Indiana, Oregon, Kentucky, West Virginia, South Dakota and Montana – I got started late in the blogging game – that whenever I found an article like that I would go back with my 200 words or less and stir it up with the nice things and it started an avalanche of other Hillary supporters out there that just seemed to be waiting in the background for someone else to start it FIRST – that will be my biggest goal of trying to get her the nominee – go back to all the newspapers – promote puma on each and everyone of them – would spend 12 hours a day doing this – and it worked – well except for Montana for some reason – I have played nice and we came in 2nd place with that – I will not be like the Obarf supporters – but I will be persistent – now wish me luck with AARP today to get them to endorse US – GO Hillary – GO PUMAS – another bright and sunny day for our girl.
Daie, Thank you for that sincere and heartfelt message. I was really touched by it and , for one, welcome you. I am so encouraged to hear that Senator Clinton has won the respect of so many people of both parties. I am certainly not surprised because I have heard that she has done the same in the senate. This is totally contradictory to what the press would have you believe–she is divisive. Nothing could be further from the truth. I think it would be great if we could have more Republicans stepping up to the plate and saying what you have said–misogyny has no party, ethnic or socioeconomic barriers. Thank you, daie!
Mac had a good idea about posting on the political sections of each state’s craigslist.
It’s free…and you get people already online.
However, I’m wondering if Murphy will weigh in on how exponentially this site can afford to grow? How much longer can each post be individually moderated? Wouldn’t it be better to have new registrants be the only ones kept in moderation until proven not a troll?
Also, without threaded posts where we can respond directly beneath each comment, these conversations are going to become impossible to navigate.
Are we ready to grow?
Greetings to all fellow PUMAs. Murphy may wish to either
delete this or move it to another thread.
The topic offered is based on the statement of purpose posted by Murphy. It stated support for the candidacy of Hillary Clinton, and the need to fix what is wrong with the Dem. party, including ‘divisiveness’. I write in support of those objectives.
I’ll begin with the last point: divisiveness. I’ve been appalled by the puerile mudslinging and character assassinations so prominent on both the Obama site and, sadly, at the HRC site. For me a national election is far too important to be usurped by fanatics, regardless of who’s personality cult they think they have joined. No candidate is without flaws, and most have something of value to offer, even those I strongly dislike or disagree with. I find
HRC to be the strongest candidate, despite some normal human and professional imperfections. That doesn’t excuse demonizing Obama, who I find to be a more flawed, weaker option, or McCain, with whom I disagree powerfully on so many issues.
Why mention this? Because if we come across like a bunch of raving mudslingers ourselves, trashing the opponents on a personal level, we are apt to be perceived as just another collection of garden variety partisan fanatics.
There are plenty of solid points on which to attack Obama’s policy positions, lack of relevant experience, and examples of questionable (wrong) judgment, all without using Limbaugh/Rove smear tactics.
If we are aiming for a better way, we can set an example. Nearly as many voters chose the other candidate; not all of them are stupid or mean-spirited (though some obviously have some issues…).
Let’s work from the high ground, making our case without
screaming insults, and acknowledging that there is room for reasonable people to disagree. A fair election is supposed to involve civil discourse. Fixing a blatantly unfair process, which is a big part of our mission, should
be done in the same spirit.
This is not a plea to “make nice”, sit down and shut up.
To the contrary, it’s about how to be effective, rather than
just appearing to be self-righteous. We can be (and should be!) forceful without gutter tactics.

Dragonfly — thanks. I have heard about that site, but literally havent had a moment to dedicate to their rumor-mongering. The Obama Movement has been on the defensive since at least Saturday. They are starting to be scared.
Our group is legitimate, legal and sincere. Read the “About” and “Goals” pages on the sidebars. Scroll through the posts and the comments. I think our sincerity as a classic grassroots movement shines through. If anyone has any questions, please email me at murphy@pumapac.org. I will respond.
Folks, this is the United States of America. We still live in a free and democratic society. We don’t need permission to organize politically. We don’t need a green light from the IRS, the FEC, the Obama campaign, the DNC or anybody else.
We do need to follow all of the rules, laws and regulations that apply to political action committees, especially as regarding the collection and distribution of donation. Those laws and regulations PROTECT us from fraud and hucksterism. They do not exist to squash our First Amendment rights to free political assembly.
We are a political association because we say we are. We dont need any official permission to be American citizens.
Upthread someone mentioned all the hotels in Denver are booked. This is one of many reasons why we need some serious heavy lifting to organize any show of strength in landlocked Denver. My guess is that if Denver (and Boulder) are booked up, there isn’t going to be a heck of a lot of other lodging out there in the Rockies.
I still think coordinated rallies all across the nation would be a more doable show of strength.
WooHoo – I counted 39 states now – won’t be long until we are in all 50 states and move on up the road – welcome Owensboro Steve – glad to see you over here with us all – remembered your posts at HRC.
hillgirl, havent you heard? We Pumas call them Hillary Republicans.
If the DNC had not selected Obama and let Hillary be elected by the voters, I am CONVINCED she would have inspired millions of voters in the GOP to become Hillary republicans.
Regarding a question in the thread: The AEA and the AFT teachers’ unions endorsed Hillary. I assume they are mulling over their leanings now. Any self-respecting educator would never have voted for “Junior.” Hillary’s understanding of what is happening in public schools and how to remedy it was very deep and well-thought out. Junior will only add some attractive words to his speeches to make it sound like he gets it. He doesn’t get it. And he won’t ever get my vote.
Although Alice Palmer and others wouldnt be surprised to learn that the Obama and his Movement is trying to squash political opponents with the Power of the State.
Murphy,
I don’t have any doubts – I’m a contributing member. I just wanted to give you the heads up. On the Confluence, bloggers have spoken up for your site and our PAC. One of the pod people’s sites is pumas4change.wordpress.com. Please everyone be ambassadors for our PAC and make sure Hillary’s supporters know the right place to go.
Ya gotta love it.
Howard Dean said that if Obama lost the nomination African-American’s would be angry and feel disenfranchised. It would seem that the converse is that IF Hillary loses the nomination, her supporters, especially women, would be angry and feel disenfranchised. It turns out that the DNC and the media do not agree and are not concerned about assuaging the feelings of Hillary’s supporters, but instead have decided to attack and blame them for Obama’s losses.
That is a wonderful manipulation of the essence of the voting process where the candidate is supposed to woo voters to his or her campaign because of his or her character, integrity, patriotism, honesty, experience and good judgment. Instead of wooing, the Obama campaign has made it crystal clear that I am not what they are looking for. Donna Brazile said on CNN that the new Democratic Party has moved away from its old base and has a new coalition that will lead it to victory.
That new coalition contains the people who will bear the responsibility when Obama loses, not me.
Did anyone see this article on how two of Hillary’s staunchest backers pushed her out of the race at the end? I’ve talked to Barney Frank about this topic before and I’ve heard him speak on it as well. He’s of the belief you can’t buck the media. He says you have a tiny window of opportunity and can get only that much done.
And he is darned good at getting media attention.
This is why I think we need a way to push back on the MSM drumbeat. A quick way to combat every last meme, such as that rot that it’s “up to Hillary” to bring her followers to Obama.
Anyway, boo to both of you, Barney Frank and Charles Rangel!
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0608/10886.html
Poochgirl are you on here under another name – we need you – I just went back to the archives of the old HRC site – and read some of the great posts that some of you did while we were going through troubled times – we need all of you here – think that site is now dead – even the pictures of Lindsey Levin is off – at least on my computer screen it is –
Hopefully Evy your contacts will be able to sign in with us today – I am off now blogging newspapers and sending emails to super delegates and writing a letter to friends at AARP to endorse us – anyone else have agendas for Hillary for today = speak up – lets hear you .
Of course the MSM and DNC are going to blame Hillary if Obama loses. It couldn’t possibly be the fault of the ‘great messiah’. The DNC couldn’t possibly be responsible for picking the wrong candidate. It will be Hillary’s fault and all the uneducated, gun toting, bible pushing whiteys fault. It couldn’t possibly be due to the fact that a lot of people have no idea what Obama is really about, or disagree with him on issues, or don’t feel comfortable with his associates or the own words that come out of his mouth…NOPE…those things have nothing to do with it. It’s all because of Hillary and her racist followers…and let’s not forget all those EVIL Republicans. I was reading a post on here and the person made reference to how Obama supporters are treating them like Republicans. They went on to mention ‘white Republicans’. Maybe I took it the wrong way but just because you are a Republican it doesn’t mean you are white and just because you are a Republican it doesn’t mean you are a racist. I hate that kind of stuff and if that is what the person thinks then they are just as guilty as the Obama supporters accusing Hillary supporters of being racist. My problem with Obama has nothing to do with his skin color but his stance on the issues. Every Republican I know wouldn’t care if the person was white, black, red, green or blue as long as they agreed with their politics. So please don’t make it seem that all Republicans are racist.
Thanks Dragonfly — you have been a very helpful and effective contributor.
My comment was in response to yours, but really addressed to all the readers here who may have heard some of the rumors.
We are not the haters, the dividers, or the reckless. We dont engage in rumors, or personal attacks, or intimidation. We are motivated by our desire to change our party so that it better reflects the will of its voter members. We are a real and sincere grassroots movement.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SEND YOUR “I AM ONE OF 18 MILLION” thank you card to Senator Clinton. We must flood the senate! I mailed mine of Friday and I have 5 of my family members to mail today. Here is the address and please post this on every blog you go on. We must do this in mass to be effective!
THE HONORABLE HILLARY CLINTON
UNITED STATES SENATE
476 RUSSELL SENATE OFFICE BUILDING
WASHINGTON, DC 20510-3203
THIS IS NOT OVER FRIENDS! KEEP FIGHTING!!!!!
Good Morning! It is great to see that our list of states represented here is growing. There are so many blogs and sites springing up that we may need to try to unify these for greater impact. If you come across one of these, please put up a post about the “real” PUMA. We need a strong and cohesive voice for Denver.
Hi all, This is my first post here! I have read through many of the posts on the site. I am thrilled to have a new place to “meet”. I was on HRC website as well. I tried to post about a dozen times over the weekend and nothing posted. Time to move on.
Anyway, I am here to help! I will add my letter to Mr. Dean later. I love what everyone has written so far!
If anyone is updating the “list” I am from Missouri.
Ready to roll up my sleeves and get started.
Please add titan90 – Austin, TX to the list.
I live right outside Austin – but close enough.
Grassroots, indeed…heh…let’s hope we are KUDZUROOTS. And they become tumbleweeds.
Thanks, Murphy.
—-
MamaPuma, well put! They bear the burden of healing the wounds they inflicted and the responsibility of their own inevitable loss because they continue to think browbeating is some kind of strategy.
THE DNC IS A DISGRACE! IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE MIGHTY DOLLAR AND WHO THEY FEEL THEY CONTROL. HILLARY WON’T ROLL OVER AND TAKE IT LIKE OBAMA. I AM NOT GIVING UP ON HER! I AM A GAY WOMAN WHO WILL VOTE REPUBLICAN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE IF HILLARY IS NOT THE NOMINEE AND I THINK THAT SAYS VOLUMES! My partners parents were over yesterday and they are the biggest republicans on earth and they even said they would rather have Hillary over Obama. I thought the world would spin off its axis after hearing that! NOW THAT IS SAYING SOMETHING BIG!
I haven’t read any post on here where people have been smearing Obama. You should see some of the things they say about him on some of the Republican sites. What I have read on here has been people giving their honest opinions about his inexperience and lack of judgement. Also, how Hillary is a better candidate. That’s not smearing IMO. It can get pretty bad in some places. There are a lot of conservatives who dislike McCain and say terrible things about him…which I consider actually smearing…compared to those sites this place is pretty tame when it comes to Obama. In a way I can relate to Hillary supporters because the right wing of the Republican party can be very nasty to us moderates. They yell at us and say stuff like McCain works with the Dems. Well, hello, the Congress has Democrat majority…who is he suppose to work with…Dumbo?? Stuff like that. Okay…I am rambling again. My point here is that people on this site are very respectful of Obama when compared to the smears that went out against Hillary and that will come out on McCain. Already on the some of the other sites are mocking McCain’s teeth…which were knocked out by the Vietnamese and making up stories about how he made video’s in support of the Vietnamese during the Vietnam war. They fail to mention that he was made to do it after being severely tortured. Those are examples of nasty smear tactics. I haven’t seen any here.
Can someone please direct me to a post on Confluence where Riverdaughter said that if Florida delegates were counted fully and correctly and Michigan delegates were assigned according to the way Michigan voted then Hillary would have been ahead in the delegat count.
Does anyone know if this is accurate?
Good morning Puma Family. I’ve logged on just for a quick glance on what’s happening at least back East before I run to work out here in the PNW. I’m so grateful to see more Pumas from Oregon being added. It’s been a difficult campaign for us Family members in this state in particular. Definitely want to us 6-Oregon Pumas to group-up at some point. We are not solo now. See you tonight.
GoaluCard4Hill…..THANKS for welcoming me and remembering my posts. I am still trying to figure out who some of my HILL-FRIENDS are from the Hillary blog, but please remind me if you send me a message or e-mail who you were on the old site. It’s so good to be here STILL supporting Hillary. I’ll get going with my thoughts again soon… right now I am just reveling in this site, enjoying this site, reading all the passionate messages. I feel like I am HOME AGAIN!! HILLARY ’08 and ’12 !!
Susie1945,
Don’t get mad, get even. We’d be seeing more of that from here on out. They’re trying to demoralize Hillary supporters. They knew we are deeply entrenched, they also knew Hillary’s support is much broader and deeper. A lot of people claiming to be Hillary supporters and now NONAME supporters are his supporters from the very beginning. Real Hillary supporters are not voting for the party but for the PERSON. We’d be electing a PERSON for President NOT the party.
We have to “brush it off” like he brush off Hillary. We musn’t toe the party line, we must cast our vote what is best for our country not for the party. This general election will make or break USA, we must vote wisely, too much is at stake in this election. Therefore, we cannot vote for someone who is inexperience, no track record to speak of, racist and anti-America. McCain may not be the best, but he is the second best after Hillary.
Although I am supporting McCain right now, I’m still waiting what would be the outcome of Denver Convention; I’m still optimistic Hillary will come out on top. I’ll always be a loyal Hillary supporter, to vote for NONAME because she ask us to support him, that is downright betrayal of my loyalty towards her. I will not stay at home in November, I will cast my vote for McCain. If we want to change the system, we must ALL stand up and be counted this November.
Happy Monday, Murph and all the rest of our growing PUMA family!!! It’s exciting to watch the list grow. We WILL make a difference.
We know that BO and his cadre will fuel the flames in the media (not that the MSM needs encouragement to spread the propaganda!) and attempt to blame Hillary for BO losing the general election. But, we also know the TRUTH – that the DNC, unDemocratic Party “leaders”, and obamabots have NO ONE to blame for the failure but themselves.
Well, maybe just maybe – the truth will prevail, BO will be truly scrutinized and NOT BE NOMINATED!! Maybe, just maybe – the qualified, experienced, worthy, and honorable Democrat named Hillary Rodham Clinton will be the nominee coming out of the convention!
Today, we have another 24 hours to email superdelegates and MSM and continue to fight this good fight in the many other ways that we choose. Hard work, faith, patience …. imagine what we can accomplish!
Here’s the quick link, again, to our candle vigil – lots of positive energy out there !
http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=hrc
I got my email from WomenCountPAC, too, and I’m going to check out that site again today. I’ll be sending my donation to both PUMApac and WomenCountpac when I get paid on Friday. I wish I could send more, but it’s so true – if we each send even $5 whenever we can – it adds up to $$$$$$$$ !!
Thank you, Murph. Thank you PUMAS all for being here! Carpe diem !!! xo, Lizzy
Uppity Woman has started a ‘vote against Obama’ petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/petition/370845477
Please put DJ back on the list for Massachusetts. I’ve dropped off!
thanks
Daie, thank you for your comment. Pumas are building a disciplined, mature, and principled democratic movement.
Barack Obama is a seriously flawed candidate. Many of us continue to be unmoved by his personal appeal (to put it mildly). However, the Puma movement really isn’t about him. It’s not even about Hilary Clinton now that she’s suspended her campaign.
It’s about bringing the Democratic party back from the brink. It’s about changing the media environment that propagated hateful sexism and humiliation of one of our most distinguished American citizens. It’s about supporting those public figures who stood up against the media and DNC onslaught.
The forums on Puma PAC’s blog will never be places for hate, racism, sexism, or exclusionary comments of any kind. Rumor-mongering and baiting will not be welcome.
We’re the good guys. Remember, we voted for Hillary.
Iron Jawed Angels is on HBO, about what women went thru to be able to vote. Beatings, prison, force feedings and finally in 1920 the right to vote. I feel we are fighting again for justice. Between the tricky Obamites, the biased news media and even the DNC and their illegal acts. Black men could vote in 1868!!
I too have protested to news media. One in particular complaining about MSNBC’s disrespect to Hillary. I recieved an answer from Steve Capus, president of NBC telling me to stop the hateful email. It was like I had NO RiGHT TO COMPLAIN. Google Steve Capus and you will see, in my eyes, what our worthless media is all about. I also complained to CNN regarding favorable posts re: Hillary being deleted but favorable posts re Obama and detrimental to Hillary were being read on air. I copied the offending posts and sent to every CNN person I could find an address on. To no avail. Seems to me there is nation wide manipulation by the DNC AND OTHERS. It will be a false election in the fall.
I am from Highland Village, Denton Co., Texas Please add me.
I am from Blackwood, NJ Please add me.
Thank you,
Terry
I now have my list of to do’s – anyone else want to join me in the same – and a couple of questions out there for anyone – l. AARP letter to endorse use here.
2. Blog newspapers throughout all the States. 3. As a Veteran will contact the Hqs for endorsements. 4. I do not know how to go about this but John King on CNN had a magic board that showed the counties that Hillary won – anyone have an idea where I can find those counties and contact the editors of the newspapers or anyone else located there to join our group – if for some reason Hillary is not our nominee – which I know she will be if we continue our movement here – its all good to be used for McCain for the GE – anyone but Obarf. 5. Emails to the superdelegates and 6. My letter to Howard Dean – this will keep me busy and out of trouble for the next couple of weeks for sure.
Anyone else out there that have definite plans on a TO DO list??

I very much appreciate this forum to send the DNC a message! So many of the pundits on news channels are so bias that it is hard to listen to. I have to turn off those channels. I hope they all get the message that we will not support them.
Thank you so much for starting this group!!
GOOD MORNING…..
HERE’S SOME MEAT…..nice snack for PUMAS
READ THE 4TH PARAGRAPH…..PUMAS NEED TO
refresh…..the “hunt instinct” …..like all infor…
on BO ….this show the path he cont. to walk….
…it’s some more of the teaching material…..

Sorry, Marleta, I think you are already on there, so now you are on there 2 times. Hey, y’all, I am not great at math, but it looks like 200 of us have signed up
Hi everyone,
i will update the list every 30 mins as its too long now. Murphy soon will upgrade a new feature to this site so you guy can add your name on the list by urself –> GREAT!
I’m wondering if only the current members list should be posted and the rest deleted. I think this would save some time for those doing the updating.
Names are dropping off because people adding their own names are posting old lists.
My name has been dropped.
Hey, Murphy–I love it! Hillary Republicans! We are all making history here–bringing together Republicans and Democrats–now that’s what I call Unity! I was astonished to find that Pat Buchanan, Ann Coulter, Joe Scarborough were Hillary supporters. Shawn Hannity, Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh also respect her even if they do not agree with all of her policies. And then there is Richard Scaife–wow was that amazing when his paper endorsed her after many years of Clinton bashing. Hillary knows how to embrace her foes and win their respect. We need to do the same.
So, sorry, I have to return to my monotonous drumbeat here which I have seen also stated by others–how are we organizing? Murphy, is it possible to have a sign up section of this website where people sign up for what they want to do and perhaps have a ‘chair’ or organizer of each group? I am raring to go, but I want to proceed as a united group.
my earlier blog….is not about smearing….
IT’S INFO ON THE TAKE OVER OF THE DNC..
CURRENTLY BO IS REMAKING IT….INTO..
HIS CORRUPT PATHWAY…..WE GOT TO STOP DNC..CONT.ING ON THIS PATH…..OF LEAVING
THE PEOPLE VOICE…..”THE VOTE”….COUNT EVERY VOTE
This post by c4hill was posted to the “1,000 Reasons Puma Democrats Are Protesting the 2008 Presidential Election ” Category and I would like to take a shot at answering it here because to do so in the other category is not the right place to do it. So if any of you know c4hill could you please direct them to this category instead.
#361 c4hill on 06.09.08 at 9:03 am
“my husband is giving me so much grief-he says I am a poor loser-he supports BO and said that he had the lead in elected delegates-and we are arrogant to think that the SG’s would over turn that..what do I say to him?
To c4Hill.
When your husband or anyone else says that we or the SuperDelegates cannot change their minds, you respond:
Oh, YES WE CAN!
~smile
In Peace and Harmony — Cosmeta
Huong ~ thank you for updating the list! It’s awesome to watch it grow
Alucard ~ excellent idea about writing AARP. I will add that to my to do list for today. Also, my husband is a Veteran. I will ask him to contact HQs for endorsements. Thanks for the suggestions!
DancesWithPumas,
can i know ur state?
Please make a correction to a name under Ohio on the list. go_Ohio_lady should be ‘go_Ohio_girl’. Thanks.
For TerriG in Washington.
I don’t know what part of Washington you live in, but I am in Bellingham, in the NW corner just south of the Canandian border. I am happy to get together and network with you to see what we might do to contribute to this wonderful effort. My email is: ashleighgrace@yahoo.com
Also any other folks from Washington, send me a note.
Thanks, Huong, for updating the list!
Please add to the list, mnforhillary MN Anoka county
Thanks.
LizzyinCT,
you are rite. its GREAT to see so many ppl join in this PUMA group
Thank you LizzyinCt – I think the more letters the merrier and we will succeed in changing the way the Democratic party does allocations of delegates, caucuses, and pick our nominee for us – there are too many of us out there to let go of this steam roller now – we can do it -
Could someone please add me to the list?
Amber D. (Etown, KY)
thanks!!
Hill4Me,
have a nice day at work! see you soon..
i love Oregon, its beautiful, especially the canyons at The Dalles.
Hill Girl- Great idea! If we all had specific tasks that we could sign up for, then everyone could focus on what they are best at. We would be able to monitor if there is enough resources on that particular task. We could have a group that target sponsors, another writing the media or the DNC/SD.
Yesterday, I went for a late night walk with my sister and we put up a 100 flyer to come join PUMA. I did this late, because I didn’t want to deal with any confrontation. In the morning people will see them. It’s good to target areas that will be crowded in the morning. If anyone wants my flyer email me at gina613ca@comcast.net

Bad news already start coming out for the Democratic Party and it is their FAULT, they’ve SELECTED a nominee instead of following the WILL OF THE PEOPLE.
McCain already has ADVANTAGE on ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES, the Democratic Party will be scrambling where to get theirs. Serves them right!
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/06/how_different_will_the_2008_wh.html
ONLY HILLARY CAN DEFEAT MCCAIN IN GENERAL ELECTION!
Maybe No Quarter USA should be on the blog roll. It never ceases to amaze we what comes up on nobama.
http://noquarterusa.net/blog/
Well, people, I’m at work. So, I will be popping in and out.
Great job Murphy!! I am really proud of the comments I’ve been reading on this site.
While just reading these current postings (and yesterday contributing a post to the 1,000 reasons) the phone rings and would you believe it, a campaigner for BO! My blood pressure began to boil and I stated to him to never call me again and slammed the phone on the hook. I guess you can say it’s pent up anger.
Great site Mrphy, thank you.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE STOP THE LIST THAT I STARTED that you copy and paste your name on! It is a flawed idea; people keep using old lists that eliminate the newer people on there. It has become a nightmare.
See what will probably be post #391.
If you wish your name to be on the “LIST” please email me at shorttermerpuma@gmail.com. The info I need
are:
Name [will not be posted here]
City or area
State [if you do not give your state, I can not add you]
your edress
Everyone is encouraged to get a new gmail address with “puma” in the edress.
gina, That is fantastic! What a great idea!
Here is my list from the other day for suggested committees or task forces. Sorry for being repetitious. Please add or edit.
1. Letter writing
2. PR/Marketing
3. Visibility/Ground Troops–Million Woman March
4. Media Response
5. Research
6. Political Action- State by state campaigning against DNC elites and obstructionists
I was also thinking about a time line. What do we want to do by the August convention the goals being:
1. a chance to overturn the presumptive nominee; and 2. visibility and making our cause known.
Then what happens after August, assuming Obama remains the nominee?
1. Strategy for General Election
2. State-by-state political action and advocacy

“Just signed up with PUMA (love what it stands for “Party Unity My Ass”). Give me a day to just settle in. Heck I’ll be happy just to get posted as a start. I had so much frustration at HillaryClinton.com with only two of my 50 something comments ever getting posted.”
I had the same problem and had written to the CONTACT for Website Technical support a few times. But none of my posts ever made it in. Had the same problem posting to CNN blogs. So I came to the conclusion that it was either my older pc using Win98 or an older Browser version.
I find blog software somewhat limiting. I have a web site of my own (would post the url, but not sure if that is allowed) so will direct the webmaster here to a .php based software program called WowBB. (Just do a search). It is a web site bullitin board software as opposed to this WordPress blog which is free and somewhat limiting. WowBB is fairly inexpensive and for a one time purchase all updates and support are free for life.
Forums and categories and specific topics can be created with WowBB. Plus there is user friendly appeal in that users can edit their own posted messages. Anyway check it out, it is just as good as vBullitin or invbullitin but much less expensive. It even has a built in way to accept Paypal or other credit card options. ~smile
What do other PUMAS think about calling one of our drives the “Republican for a Day Campaign.” This would be consistent with our ultimate goal of reforming the Democratic Party by sending a message to the Democratic Party through our votes in the Presidential Election on November 4rth. It also doesn’t put us in a position of joining with the Republicans and supporting their misogynist agenda. I think this message would strengthen our campaign because the action is aimed more strategically.
Maybe this is a better way of doing it. Please email me
at shorttermerpuma@gmail to be on this contact list.

Lioness, I’m with you, that’s EXACTLY what we’re going to do in General election if Hillary is not the nominee for our party.
Please add me to New Jersey. For all others in Jersey, I just called the NJ Board of Elections to see how a write-in in the GE is treated. I was put on hold and then she came back and said “It will be counted.” I then asked her in what way. She said any name not on the ballot will be counted as a “write-in.” That’s good enough for me. As a former Dem, you know, the Dems who had principles, I simply cannot vote for McCain. And any vote for McCain just gets mixed in with those who are actually FOR McCain. So I’m happy to register my protest vote in New Jersey by writing in (all right, typing in) Hillary Clinton. If any others are in New Jersey, you should call and ask the exact same question, just to “make some noise.” Don’t forget to ask follow-up questions, like “So if I write-in Hillary Clinton, exactly how is that vote counted?” The NJ Board of Elections phone no is 609-292-3760. Our voices must be heard.
Done. ShortTermer is the Keeper of the Lists. Email her at shorttermerpuma@gmail.com to add your name to your state’s list. You need to send your real name (will be kept private), your username, your city or area, and your state.
Thank you to Shorttermer, Star, Genevieve, Huong, and others who have taken the initiative on this.
Our site will be upgraded just as soon as is possible. Please contribute $5 for this effort if you possibly can.
Thank you sincerely.
ARE YOU ONE OF 18 MILLION VOTERS WHO WANT HILLARY TO BRING IT TO DENVER? LET HILLARY KNOW! WRITE OUT YOUR THANK YOU CARD TODAY!

Huong, please see #392, #396 and #400. Please do not continue to update this list. It has become a nightmare.
“Huong on 06.09.08 at 10:59 am Hi everyone,
i will update the list every 30 mins as its too long now. Murphy soon will upgrade a new feature to this site so you guy can add your name on the list by urself –> GREAT!”
This past weekend I’ve been talking to people and discovered there are more than I thought that are dismayed and angry over what just happened to Hillary. Most said they will not vote at all, a few will vote for McCain and only one woman “promised” her vote to Obama from early on because he voted against the war and she is committed to her word.
A man made an interesting point though, maybe Obama voted against the war because he knew Muslims would be killed?
When Bush & others were making the case for the war the legislators and we were told it would be very short term, get in, Iraquis will welcome us with flowers and food, remove Sadam Hussein and the weapons of mass destruction, and then we leave. Our mission would be accomplished.
Still, Obama voted against it, has anyone wondered why?
I am a 59 yr old EDUCATED woman retired from the healthcare field. I will do whatever I can to support Hillary and protest the unfair Democratic party processes and sexism. I have blogged, written the newspapers, Howard Dean, Pelosi, Reid, the superdelegates and I will not quit until this travesty of injustice is rectified…even if it takes 4 more years to see the rightful, and most qualified candidate in the Presidency. If I have to I will vote for McCain in November but I will NOT fall in line. Do these party elites think we have such short memories? This UNdemocratic fiasco will stay with me the rest of my life. Remember in November!!!!
MURPHY……NEED…….A GROUP…..TO START ORG..
….THIS NEEDS MORE…INCLUSION…..TITLE…..
“”"MILLION MARCH OF ‘”COUNT EVERY VOTE”"”
this is not just a woman issue……..
IT’S AM AMERICAN VOTING ISSUE

alittle exclusion sounding…
3. Visibility/Ground Troops–Million Woman March
One more thing, and I will go away for a while.
Go to johnmccaindotcom and view the
powerpoint/video of their new strategy, and then come
back and tell me how badly you think that the DNC messed up not picking Hillary.
I tried to post and tell them they ain’t seen nothing yet if they are going to run a “respectful” campaign against the thugs of Chicago. And I emailed them to tell them without criticizing them that their blog is not useful as it is now ——– way way way too slow and has a colorway that makes it impossible for me to read the bloggers names. Just wanted to be helpful to them – I almost feel sorry for them against the MAFIA.
KENDALBLUE on 06.09.08 at 11:42 am Good morning Hillary people. Just want to say to everyone to please stand strong in our strength in numbers. We will not go away quietly into the night. We will not be silenced, Go home and bake cookies and iron shirts. We will be heard, and in November the DNC will hear ALL OF US ROAR !!! We must hold steadfast to our heart and convictions. We must not waver in the travisty of democracy, and those trying to silence our voices, and take away our votes. We will be tempted to MAKE NICE, but stand strong and proud with conviction and pride for our nation,and never ever give up on this fight against sexism,racism, and blatant disrespect for our candidate as well as our voices that were never heard. Together we will take back this nation, our voices, and send the message to all of those who think they can make decisions for US, THE PEOPLE !!!
I’M NOT READY TO MAKE NICE !!! WE ARE NOT READY TO MAKE NICE !!!!
MAD AS HELL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great catch, Star! “March for Democracy”?? “The 18 Million March”?? We don’t want to forget those wonderful men who have stood up for Hillary!
Hillgirl – I agree with Star. It should not be a Million Woman march but an 18 Million Voters Count march. But Hillgirl thank you for encouraging us to be organized and have a strategy. I think Murphy has started that and is working hard. We all need to volunteer to be in charge of various efforts if we have a consensus on what actions, beyond what is already stated here, on how to meet the goals of the PAC. Shorttermer, you are kind. I don’t feel sorry for those fools against the MAFIA. They utterly screwed up and deserve consequences.
From Arizona here. I posted yesterday, but my message is not posted here yet.
Also, I find it hard to navigate through these threads. They are sooo long. I would like to help this group anyway I can.
Also, there is another great group called Hillary Is Our Choice and they want to connect with a group that is serious about keeping Obama out of the White House.
hillaryisourchoice.com
There are thousands of people who are like minded, but they are dispersed all over the place.
I have told them about you and wanted to tell you about them.

Listen guys we need someone out there for PR we need to get out to the press more. Will give us more strength. Murphy did you read what i wrote about Dr. Lynette Long??? I am behind you time wise. Havn’t been up long
Good morning everyone,
I tried to read most of the comments that were posted since last night when I logged off and here are a few responses to some of those.
-I don’t think we should “support” Lou Dobbs because he is known as MR. anti-immigrant and we will appear to support that. Consequently, we will ostracize Hispanics. We need a wide coalition (men, women, all racial/ethnic backgrounds, etc…). We should keep focusing on how the Dems behavior was an attack on democracy itself.
-I saw people forming committees. That’s great! I haven’t read everyone’s comments but if there’s a media/newsroom committee please count me in or I’ll start one. Just send me an e-mail to Lara4Hillary08@yahoo.com and we can start working.
-Gina613, I haven’t been able to open your file. But, hopefully others have. I’m sure your poster will be thought-provoking. Perhaps you can send it to Murphy and it can be posted on this website.
-Re: Obama endorsements
That appears to be one of the only tricks they have up their sleeves. They still don’t get that we think for ourselves and that we have to follow our own conscience. We can see right through them and it really makes them angry. Also, perhaps Hillary team spoke to Steinem and she knows more about Clinton’s plan than we do. Finally, I can’t believe the media/BO team focused on that endorsement. They still think this is just about some pi**ed off women. Unbelievable!
I keep thinking that I’ll wake up and I’ll be less angry, but it hasn’t happened yet. The longer this goes on the angrier I get. I think one of the legacies of this whole debacle is that now millions of Americans will not trust the media (and of course neither the Dems).
Finally, do you think we should start writing our elected officials so they can start looking into this in an official way? Let me reiterate that what happened has to be looked into. What I’m experiencing are not just hurt feelings. I think the last time I was affected this way (by a non-personal event) was 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. At least with Hurricane Katrina there was amateur video and some gutsy journalists that documented that horror. Who is covering this? My gut and my brain tells me that this is big.
Best,
Lara08
Hey, Kendalblue, awesome! Hillgirl, I forgot to say, we ought to all be encouraging people to add their letter to the 1000 Reasons post. We have about 200 on the list Shorttermer will keep (Kendalblue, please email Shorttermer at shorttermerpuma@gmail.com to add your name if you haven’t yet), but we need so many more. Sadly, I am surrounded by die hard Republicans and Obamabots. I don’t even know 25 people to talk to about this. I was at a party the other night and got razzed with misogynistic jokes for my support of Hillary and also had a well-intentioned but in my face woman tell me I should vote Obama. Many of these people were either racists sticking with McCain or “I can’t believe I’m a racist voting for Obama because our country is in big trouble and McCain is an idiot” types. I am so thankful for the sanity of this site!! You are all wonderful.
I just check on the hillaryclinton.com blog, and they have added new comments. However, only pro-Obama comments (trolls) are being let through unless your pro-Hillary comment doesn’t mention Obama. I see they have changed things quite a bit there. Oh well.
She wouls be a asset to us as she loves the Clintons and has been a strong supporter of them and is heart broken.

Hillary site – Has anyone been back on the Hillary.com site? Seems people are getting soft there (or there are Obama people on there making it look that way. hmmm)
I am still for Hillary!!! NO VOTE FOR OBAMA – no way no how!!!!
Let’s keep fighting for Hillary – we still have the convention!!!
Murphy, you should know that people posting on Taylormarsh.com, and others are claiming you are a Republican operative who is operating this website to capture disgruntled Hillary Dems and their emails in order to bolster the Republican’s potential voting base. They are stating that you are not seriously acting to benefit Hillary, and all of our posts and other things are just for your amusement and they paint a picture of the RNC sitting back laughing at us. This is getting around quite a bit, so you might want to nip it in the bud.
Thank you Star for bringing forth the idea of 18 million march – there are us men and senior men here that support our Hillary all the way – you know you can’t live with us or without us and we are there 100% – and can help with this movement.
I just got the following comment posted at CNN’s political ticker at the story “Can Bush show Europe he is still president?”
Brian Knoxville, TN
June 9th, 2008 12:18 pm ET
He is no less the selected president of the United States than is Barack Obama the selected nominee of the failed Democratic Party.
Xavier, St. Louis, MO: the Democratic Senate Majority leader in 2002, Tom Daschle, pushed forward the resolution for the Invasion of Iraq in the Senate to “get it out of the way” for the 2002 midterm election and the Democratic Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, took impeaching Bush “off the table” to look forward to the 2008 election. What do these two losers have in common? They both helped push on us Barack Obama, an unknown, inexperienced and unqualified politician, as the party’s nominee.
The leadership of the Democratic Party has failed us… yet again.
True Democrats, Moderate Democrats and Disillusioned Democrats will vote McCain in ’08
Senator Clinton may ask us to support the golden child, but remember golden idols doomed Moses and his people as they will doom the DNC. Another Hill-o-crat voting for McCain in November.
ShortTermer, are you there my friend? Tried to email you yesterday…please see my email address in above post and email me regarding how I can help per your post yesterday regarding getting organized by state.
I AM UP FOR THE MARCH!
“THE 18 MILLION MARCH” IN FRONT OF THE DNC!
jdona,
I am too busy to respond to rumor-mongers and haters. Anyone who visits here will soon find that we are sincere and determined. I posted a short bio in comments this morning (or was it last night?). They are only hoping and dreaming that we are not for real.
This is what grass-roots actually looks like.
Anyone with questions can email me at murphy@pumapac.org. I will respond.
sorry shorttermer, but that is the final one, no more PUMA list being posted. btw, i’ve already sent you an email about my infos thru gmail. thanks again
I definitely agree on the 18 million march….it will be wonderful to make the statement that there are many secure men who support Hillary and denounce misogyny.
There is a new Open Action Thread posted. Please read it and start taking the actions outlined.
Please pass the word about the new post, and please pass the word to your friends and families about what we are doing.
Hillgirl,
Thanks for the post to establish committees. I think we need to start getting organized, August is right around the corner. I add my name for the Marketing/PR
Thanks!
Hillary site – Has anyone been back on the Hillary.com site? Seems people are getting soft there (or there are Obama people on there making it look that way. hmmm)
I am still for Hillary!!! NO VOTE FOR OBAMA – no way no how!!!!
Let’s keep fighting for Hillary – we still have the convention
ya the obama fest the was our previous home sickens me… they spit in our faces called us racists, bigots, gun toting, undereducated poor trash and now they want us to kiss and hold hands while sybil (BO) changes his “stances” on a daily basis!!
We need more exposure guys and Lynette Long can do it. I thought that Murphy could call and talk to her. She wrote some awesome columns about the sexixt and bias tretment of Hillary.
If Murphy is a Republican, then I say “thank you for unwittingly helping true Democrats take their party back.” I wouldn’t care if he’s a half yellow, half purple elephant. Besides, the haters who think they’re taking over my party have called me worse!
Lara08,
I think the reason we are all so angry is that we were insulted time and time again, and they did this over the airways. When they insulted Sen. Clinton and trivialized her as a politician, we took it personally, as which we should. It has become obvious to each one of us that they do not think we matter in the scheme of things. Even though we work hard everyday and keep this nation running, we are still required to shut up and be good little girls or good little boys.
We have been insulted. We have been discriminated against. Because they did this over the airways, they increased the legitimacy of sexism. And we will not take it anymore. We will do this for ourselves and for our children and their children.
Not voting for Obama is the perfect chance to let the nation know, once and for all, that we mean business. They thought they had this election all wrapped up in a nice package. They insulted us and berated us in the process.
Stay angry. Only then will something get done.
I will add myself to the LIST when you have that portion up.
As we all settle in here from Hillary’s site..I think we need to start getting to work. I am so happy to be here. I posted almost daily but like others my posts rarely showed up on that site. I live in Va. where Nobama had his first GE rallies. We need to write the superdelegates in this state. Gov. Tim Kaine has totally disappointed me in his early endorsement of Nobama. Sen Jim Webb, who the media has talked about as one of the possible VP picks, waited until the end of the primaries, but now is out on the campaign trail. We need to let them know how many of us are not behind this ticket. The other superdelegates from Virginia are:
Backed Obama:
Rep. Robert Scott
James P. Moran
Rick Boucher
Uncommitted until end of Primary???
Richard Cranwell – chairman of the DP in Va
Alexis Herman – former Clinton admin Labor Secretary
Jim Leaman – Va AFL-CIO Pres
John Johnson – party activist
Jerome Wiley-Segovia -party activist
These were/are pro Clinton:
Terry McAuliffe!!!
Del. Lionell Spruill Sr.
Del. Jennifer L. McClellan -defected to Obama
Barbara Easterling
Mame Reiley
Susan Swecker
I don’t know email’s but you can look them up. Anyone have any good ideas about what we should be writing now? I think we need to start going beyond what is perceived as whining, but we need to be firm and POLITE as we let them know we mean business and are not going to capitulate. Hillary had to but we don’t. FYI Gov. Tim Kain had an article in the Richmond Ties Dispatch when Rev. Wright broke and he said it wouldn’t hurt Nobama….that made me so mad. They seem to be buds and it makes me sick.
Diva1 and PM – sorry that I did not get back to your posts yesterday – but the long list of States seems to distract from moving on action – great idea Diva1 do not let that one go even though you may not have gotten the response you should have on it – probably too many people with the same problem that I had yesterday with my old browser and PM – thanks for keeping track for us on everything that we are doing – would be nice to have a list by each name on what they are doing so that we can jump in and help out or keep everyone informed of our progress much like we did at the old HRC site with our calls to the various undecideds in the States – only problem with that is the opposition now knows what we are doing – and as I have said many times in this post – its all about the element of surprise that takes home the winner.
Just saw this on FoxNews:
They are asking viewers to email them with any issues involving voter fraud, at voterfraud@foxnews.com — It would appear as if some states have begun a process of illiminating voter fraud; I am assuming but do not know, in anticipation against the tight race between BHO and McCain; foxnews normally being a republican cable news outlet.
For example, Conneticut has just removed the names of 5,000 dead people from their voter rolls.

Brian Knoxville,
My family has been Democrats since they stepped off the boat into James Michael Curley’s waiting arms.
Hi PumaPac!
I am Uppity Woman –
http://hyper-educated-uppity-woman.blogspot.com
I am sorry I have been remiss in registering, please accept my apologies. Things are crazy. I also write for No Quarter so be sure to stop by.
I have your back and will do a post about you soon.
Apparently I am more than a little popular among Obama thugs and you might see my name and link on various sites claiming that I just love barky obama, or that I have changed my mind. Please know that if you see such a post it is a forgery. Please feel free to change the poster’s name to OBAMA THUG and reroute the link to an appropriate Marxist site.
Actually I am kind of honored. The only bad part about being forged is the writers are borderline illiterate. And by the way, when they call you a “Republican Operative,” or a “shill,” just remind them that you were a Democrat when they will still having bladder accidents at school, and that Real Democrats have problems with Marxism. Ticks them off every time.
DRAGONFLY @@@@@@@@ Thanks for your response. I have e-mailed shottermer. You can always email me at jwoods2306@hotmail.com.. I understand how you feel. I don’t have much support here where I live in N.C . Would be nice to chat with my fellow army members of Hillary…stay strong……..Jeannie
Remember in November.
We will take it from here.
Nobody puts Hillary in the corner, and she doesn’t have to clean up the mess of the DNC–Women, put down your brooms and dusters! Hillary speaks for the 18 million who voted for her, but we also speak for ourselves, thank you very much.
Remember what you may have learned in college from Speech 101?? That the “media is the message” ??? This travesty was the intentional work of the media–that is our Public Enemy Number One here, and should be a primary target.
I am a news junkie–or was until June 7–the Day the Music Died. The news media was relentless in their smears upon Hillary–calling her narcissistic, manipulative, a piece of the Clinton Dynasty. But I hardly heard a single word aimed at her opponent–other than his association with That Church. The media was the message, and they had been bought off, or had fallen under the spell, and they were determined to write the story of 2008.
Here’s another point. I think about this a lot. It’s like they were watching some movie where the almost- unheard-of- guy/hero comes from nowhere and knocks the established and favored “in the Beltway” candidate out. They are probably already sending out casting calls for the TV movie. The problem was–it wasn’t a movie. It was REAL LIFE. And their favorite son hasn’t really done anything to justify the highest position in the land. He needed to grow up a little longer–actually do something. We can’t put our country in his hands.
The media was the message. Now they need to hear ours. We’ll remember in November.
Murphy, My family unfortunately has been apolitical since my grandmother stepped off the boat in 1914 and my grandfather in 1922… with the exception of one uncle, who was a staunch Republican.
Seriously, thank you. I was having a tough time not knowing what to do after Hillary’s suspension of the campaign until I registered here yesterday.
I’ll do my best to keep my ideas and thoughts concise, solid and useful.
Concerning voter fraud: In my own state, the state of NJ we use a push button type of machine with X marks to select. Well, the X was placed on BHO’s name by default because his first name was ahead of Hillary Clinton’s. In other words, they listed his name alphabetically but by his first name and not his last. So that, if someone entered the booth just to vote for a Proposition and wanted to throw their vote away by not voting, Mr B would have gotten the vote by default because the X was left on his name—unless you moved it.—See!
I hope this makes sense to some of you, because my explaination is not that great. But I think some of you who worked the polls will understand what I mean.
Hey Imluckytlc – glad you are here – remember your posts – jump in the water is perfect – and thank you CorkyupstateNY for joining us as well – I am sure your knowledge and background of Terry and the Clintons will prove valuable in the next weeks to come.

“…Hillary site – Has anyone been back on the Hillary.com site? Seems people are getting soft there (or there are Obama people on there making it look that way. hmmm…”
MY RESPONSE:
You are right. The Hillary Clinton blog has been taken over by Barack Obama supports. A very strategic move. There are a lot of new organizations with website whose purpose is to show a collective displeasure with the actions of the Democratic Party’s leadership and the mainstream media (CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, etc.). The leaders of these organizations need to coordinate and brainstorm. The Democratic Party leadership is absolutely down-playing a rift in the Democratic Party. I just don’t see enough cohesiveness with the anti-DNC movement yet, but I hope to soon. I have heard about “Million Woman March,” “18 Million March,” petititions to pledge “not to vote for Barack Obama.” A lot of things, but someone needs to step up the efforts to organize a grassroots effort, especially, in the so-called “swing” or “battleground” states. By the way, I am an African-American man, so it is more than just women who are angry at the leadership of the Democratic Party.
PUMA STATE PAC GROUP under MURPHY & his group
TRY THIS ON……WE ORG. A GROUP FROM EACH STATE…….with each of these state group….have a

M.O.V.E. it OVER
(move on voters election rights)
MILLION MARCH ON DENVER
the group can decide what to name it…table ideas
IT TAKES $ SO CLICK THE BUTTON
NotFallinginLine – I knew there was another huge group of people that I left out from AARP, Veterans, etc – it was the unions that endorsed Hillary – nurses etc – yes – we need to get all their support behind us as well – anyone know where we can find the listing of Hillary supporters – many of the 18 million have just given up – we need to give them hope that we can and will change this Democratic party now – not 4 years from now – and we can only hope that Obarf will screw up in his “town hall meetings” with McCain – adding fire to the fuel already started – Go Hillary
Good to see you here MART – you were on my list that we needed over here – jump in the water is nice and warm -
RIP33 – you are here too – you were another one on my list to get over here now – yes I have seen the HRC site – its over obviously – hopefully some of our other villagers will find us – if they will only read some of the last posts I referred everyone over to this location. Welcome aboard – just in the water is fine.
I just had a chance to check in and don’t see any responses to my post. I really need to know what direction PUMAS want to take. I’m going to repost my earlier message here.
Okay, I have finished with the list of MSNBC sponsors and contact information (still working on CNN). It has come to my attention…didn’t occur to me before…that we can notify GE, parent company of MSNBC, that we can boycott the Olympics which are to be aired on NBC. Is this too rash? Do we want to send a powerful message to the network that we will not abide by the sexist treatment that Hillary received? (as someone said in an earlier blog…remember Imus). If this is something the PUMA Pac wants to do, then I will compose a letter that we can each forward to GE, MSNBC, etc., with copies to all of the sponsors. So, if this is a go, please send me suggestions of what you want to be included in this letter. I will get cracking on it after work today if this is the stance we want to take as a group. There is always the alternative of each of us sending our own letters…this is merely a question I am posing to PUMAS.
Murphy,
You need to start generating income. How feasible is it to start selling t-shirts, buttons, stickers with puma pac “logo”? I don’t know about graphic design, but if someone does please step forward. We are a grassroots org, so at the very least it could just have a black backdrop and it could say “puma pac” in contrasting color. Like you now have it on top of blog screen. I’ll make some calls to see how expensive it would be to make a whole bunch of buttons. I’ll write in once I find out.
sandipuma mentioned Dr. Lynette Long. If you know her perhaps you could give her a call to ask for her support. We might need to reach out to people on our own for now until we get more organized.

“…we can boycott the Olympics which are to be aired on NBC…”
MY RESPONSE:
I like that idea. I want to start doing something concrete, as opposed to just placing comments on blogs. I am very frustrated about not seeing coordinated effort to get something done. The leaders of all of the anti-DNC organizations and websites need to have a conference call or meeting or something.
Star on 06.09.08 at 12:45 pm SAID:

MY RESPONSE:
Super idea. I love the brainstorming. I want to act, now! Please let me know how I can help. I am hoping the PUMA will organize efforts beyond these blog comments.
Thanks all for welcoming me! This is a great website. At least I can relate myself with you. Nobama ’08 and ever!
Missy- It sounds like you’re on the right track. Thanks for doing a wonderful job!
Suggest we start posting this website on CNN, MSNBC,
NBC, FOX, etc. We need to be more visable. I have sent e-mail to democracynow.org . . . perhaps we can get some coverage from independent media. Brian Lehrer
was discussing “political sexism” today. Isn’t it amazing that now the media, Pelosi, Feinstein, and Dean are all conceding that we have not been imagining
this. MA politicians endorsed Obama BEFORE the Primary ( MA went overwhelmingly for Clinton ). Offending parties are: Govenor Patrick, Senators Kerry and Kennedy, Representative Delahunt, and also the Boston Globe. Yes, I did e-mail the offending parties at the time to ensure them that they had lost my support.
I put together a flyer advertising PUMA. I want to post it everywhere, from telephone poles, mailboxes, cars and business cork boards. I know it’s such a basic idea and there is a lot of footwork involved, but I feel like I don’t know what else to do and it is better than doing nothing.
Can you please give me your opinion, and if you like the flyer, you’re welcome to make copies and post them as well. My email is gina613ca@comcast.net
Can all N Californians email me as well, so we can exchange info?
Hi wsingl,
Yes, I totally agree and I as well as others have pushed for this on several occasions. I’m trying to be understanding, given that they have to deal with their own group’s needs right now. Let’s break this down:
1.) We need a list of sites/blogs/org that are moving on this. Can you put this together?
2.) They need to be contacted. Can you do this? I can help you.
3.) People are spread all over the country. It needs to be decided when and by what method (phone or blog) people will all communicate with each other. Let’s decide on a day and time when all the people will talk to one another. Give them an option when you contact them: for example, 11 a.m. EST on Tuesday, June 10th.
What do you think? Lara08
I’m wondering if we couldn’t buy a full page ad (or ads) in some of the major newspapers and magazines across the country-about PUMA-the number of members-and so on-we have to get people’s attention -this isn’t my area of expertise at all but it seems to me we have to counter this nonsense from the DNC about unity-a unity that doesn’t exist
Murphy -
Please check out #329 – Dragonfly.
I CONCUR. WE ARE UNDER ATTACK.
I’m hoping that none of the people whom I referred here, will not be sidetracked to there – AWFUL PEOPLE!
KENDALBLUE on 06.09.08 at 1:07 pm KENDALBLUE on 06.09.08 at 11:42 am Good morning Hillary people. Just want to say to everyone to please stand strong in our strength in numbers. We will not go away quietly into the night. We will not be silenced, Go home and bake cookies and iron shirts. We will be heard, and in November the DNC will hear ALL OF US ROAR !!! We must hold steadfast to our heart and convictions. We must not waver in the travisty of democracy, and those trying to silence our voices, and take away our votes. We will be tempted to MAKE NICE, but stand strong and proud with conviction and pride for our nation,and never ever give up on this fight against sexism,racism, and blatant disrespect for our candidate as well as our voices that were never heard. Together we will take back this nation, our voices, and send the message to all of those who think they can make decisions for US, THE PEOPLE !!!
I’M NOT READY TO MAKE NICE !!! WE ARE NOT READY TO MAKE NICE !!!!
MAD AS HELL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is there anyway that we can get comments threaded? It would be so much easier to follow and to discuss strategies.
On the Hillary site they occasionally would put up a money meter-that would be a great idea for this site-for some of the stuff-if not all-we are going to need some money-I just donated 100.00 today
I visited the Hillary Clinton site earlier today and it felt as though it was a country that had been taken over by the enemy. Yuck! I had to come here immediately.
One of my biggest gripes of this whole primary is the MSM especially Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann. I believe Chris Matthews started implying early on that the Clintons and some of their supporters were racist among other things and Olbermann is just hateful. I’ll be reading these blogs to see what we can do about them.
shortermer,

I tried to email you and it failed.
Thanks.
Bruce555, I wanted to straighten out a misconception that your friend and a lot of people have. Obama DID NOT VOTE against the war. He was not on the Senate at the time the vote took place. He merely gave a speech against the war in Chicago at a time when not much was at stake for him. Once he was in the Senate, he actually voted to fund the war. He also said later on that if he had been in the Senate at the time of the Iraq vote, that he didn’t know how he would have voted given the information that was given at the time.
Here’s my letter to Dean. I hope the DNC gets the idea soon that we really care about our country and they need to honor the people and our values.
To Howard Dean:
For many years, the Democratic Party has been the hope of this nation – the promise of more humane and enlightened leadership. That was reflected in principles of the party of fair reflection and equal rights. That has now all changed.
When the RBC met, you and many of the 30 members of that committee threw the party and women under the bus. It was inexcusable that the committee did not challenge the insistence of the Obama campaign that Florida votes count at 50% when asked their opinion about full reinstatement. It was unacceptable to punish the people for something beyond their control. That’s like blaming the people of New orleans for Katrina.
I have also never heard more nonsense about rules. There are many rules. States have them. Localities have them. Families have them. Companies have them. We are drowning in rules. They often conflict. Those conflicts are a test of leadership which the Democratic Party failed miserably and one candidate took advantage of to the detriment of the party and the people of the country.
Michigan’s issue was resolved in an even more egregious manner. Never in the history of the party has one candidate been stripped of earned delegates.
It is inexcusabloe to game the primary by removing your name from the ballot and then play the victim and act deprived. And you went along with it. What about the harm to other candidate?
I have heard members of the RBC on news programs state that there will be full restoration of the FL and MI delegations at the convention. So I gather you deliberately set out to suppress the required delegates and inflate Obama’s earned delegates. Did you think no one would notice? Did you think that because we do not like Bush that you can do whatever you want and we will go along?
You have taken the voters and women for granted. Worse you have allowed one of the best people in government in our history be viciously attacked. Obama was more than happy to capitalize both on racism and sexism. His dismissive arrogance and ignorance are so bad I do not want him anywhere near the White House. I cannot see a way to vote for him.
I hope you get the picture soon, that it is not just the election that is at risk. The Democratic Party is at risk. Fix the problem; you may not survive it.

Thank you Missy. I think that challenging the media is a great idea. I will support your effort.
Murphy, this is my response to your request: “MEMBERS, please use this Action Open Thread to post when you accomplish any of the following actions:”
1.Done, but need to change (resubmit) my signature on my letter to Puma Independent instead of Puma Democrat.
2.I changed my registration from Democrat to Independent. (located Sec. of State of MS online & downloaded form “MS Voter Registration Application” form. I called Madison County Voter Reg. dept., to ensure that I might use the form. They agreed. I was told I could fax/mail the form.
3.Done. I informed the DNC of my change to Independent asked the them to remove my name from their list. All of my money went to HRC so I am not asking fro a $ refund.

Hi, Uppity. I read you on noquarter all the time, and I am really admire your spunk. Once upon a time I had spunk too, then somewhere I mellowed in my middle years. Now, in my older years, instead of people calling me spunky, I’m just old, catankerous and grumpy. All at the ripe old age of 51. Oh well, that’s life. Hey Murph, I remember seeing a post over on hillaryclintonforum.net that was promoting the idea of PUMA way back when, was that you? Or maybe it was at riverdaughter? We need to list a few other pro-hillary websites, they are really pushing PUMA here, might help a lot to do some crosslinks.
Former Anchor Tom Brokaw has come out and criticized the media’s preoccupation with driving Hillary from the primary race. He reiterates many of our points that the media did not do their job in covering the issues during the primary. What we are fighting for is not only the soul of the Democratic party but also for return to responsible journalism instead of the ‘punditocracy.’

Good Morning all of you Hill supporters!! Am anxious to see you all at Denver!!
Fox News is still looking for info on voter fraud as mentioned in my comments on an earlier post. Please send your experiences about this to: voterfraud@foxnews.com. On HIllary’s website there were many MANY examples of fraud, especially at caucases. If you remember seeing any of those would you please send this info to them on the blogs where they posted their examples. We may also be able to use these later as we develop our goals and themes.
I wanted to throw out the idea of networking with NOW regarding our ideas. I just recently rejoined the organization and they seem to want all the things we want. They should be very experienced in rallies, press releases, getting letters to SD’s and the DNC and more. We can make it a million women (and men) march in Denver if we can try to pull in more women’s groups. If anyone out there has been a NOW longtime member, maybe you can get more infor. form them on how we could work together? One more thought is I am sure they already have sites set up in each state and many cities. If we could combine efforts, it might help our organizing go a bit easier.
Finally, I apologize to Murphy, I think I may have called you a man because of your name (boy wasn’t too smart on my part!) I hear you are of the female persuasion. Please forgive me and my dumb assumption. I am eternally grateful for what you are doing to bring us all together!!
Will donate later today to PUMA.
To President Clinton — Hip Hip Hooray!! Go all the way!

Please put Newcatontheblock on your list i’m from Kansas
I just had to stop by and see what was going on at Hillary’s blog…It has been oven ran by the Ob camp…Now I’m sick ..
After all the hateful launge they used before ..Now they are trying to be nice ..like nothing every happened…
For someone to treat Hillary the way they have and then to come back and try to “use” her because they need something that she has(18 million votes) is pretty dam low… Sorry folks I just cant vote for him…
not because he’s black.. I’d vote for Colan Powell..
It’s because he has the least experience of any candidate.uummm that I EVER remember running of President..It’s because It took him 20years to leave his racist church..Only because he had too..
Because he stole every idea and solution that Hillary spoke so passionately about and then tried to pass them as his own…
He has done nothing orginal..Not even he’s “glorified” speaches..He even copied them..
Read his book .. Its because he telling the young AA comunity that its “white-ies” fault that they live in the “ghetto”..
Well ..I was raised in the “ghetto” too.. But I’m not blaming them for it.. My mother worked hard for us to have a better life..Never not one time did she say it was the blacks fault or latino’s fault..
There are many many reasons why I will Never Ever sopport O..But yet ALL he’s people say Hope and Change…Give me a break…

Please repost your comment up on the Open Action thread above?
You are great!
I only have one suggestion for Obama supporters who are upset about BO being smeared “if you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen’. A quote from one of my favorite Democrats Harry Truman, for those of you too young to remember.
I want to add my 2cents on the caucuses and voting fraud. In TX we get to vote twice. We have a primary and a caucus. The primaries rarely get to TX as the candidate is usually decided before our date, as we all know that was not the case this year. I voted early in the primary and then attended the caucus….what a freaking circus!! They passed around a piece of paper….no clip board… people were using other’s backs to write, walls and even the floor. I could have written as many names is as I wanted if I had their drivers license. Plus I heard they suspended the counting as they couldn’t get it done in the required time. Just as well as I think there were only 4 or 5 names for Hillary on the sheet I signed. You could have handed in bogus papers with names and no one know the difference. I think the caucuses should be outlawed.
I also think the primaries should be closer together…I know people in IA who have changed their mind and would vote for Hillary after hearing some of BO’s comments of late.
Hi,
I am doing several things most complete, I wrote my letter to Dean and I called the supervisor of elections in my area to send me the form to change my party, boy did her voice change when she pulled me up in the computer and saw I am a dem wanting to change. On wed I hope to contribute to this great movement ! Great job everyone I pass the site around every chance I get.
Hello Everyone!

Hey guys – come on over to the current thread – and for those that want to send emails to the undecided super delegates – Look at Mac #34 and click on the undecided spreadsheet – it is a little outdated 5/31 – but hey even those that went over to the no named one won’t hurt to all get emails from us – IT GIVES THE ACTUAL EMAILS so you don’t have to look anything up – go into your email account – type up the body of text you want to send out and then each time just resend through forward to a new email listing – if we all did this – it WILL MAKE A difference – of the 45 that I did through the HRC site – 37 did endorse Hillary – I know I wasn’t the only one doing it – so give it a try – it will make you feel good.
Great job Everyone! If you posted your “brag” comment here, please repost it in the Action Open thread upstairs.

Excellent letter to Dean — Hill.maria – please please may I use some of your words to the undecided superdelegates – you said it so well – about rules -
Thank you for your words.
Other blogs are reportng that MSNBC just said that the Obama Campaign has appointed a special PR/advisory personnel to handle attacks waged against Michelle Obama.
Apparently, they will represent Michelle and answer for her, in the event that personal attackes are directed at her.
I have not been able to verify this, but if it’s true then it’s reasonable to think they are anticipating some development.
Hi everyone…glad to see so many HRC supporters here. I recognize so many names from the blog on her site. I tried to post but they never showed up, still reading your comments was heart warming.
I want to thank Murphy for starting this site. I think pumapac can be very influential. I made a small donation and will again as soon as I can.
I truly believe our impact will go beyond our immediate goals. 18 million voices–we will be heard. I have already done my letter for Dean and am now composing a letter for the NV superdelegates. Through our outrage we have the opportunity to initiate “REAL” change.
I do have one concern. There are so many sites for Clinton, against Obama, demanding change of the DNC. We are so splintered.
One of the most memorable parts of Hillary’s speech was the one about the 18 million cracks. We did that because we were united. Somehow we need to get all these groups working together…that’s where our strength lies.
United We Stand 4 Hillary – AMAZING job on the logos!
I like logo #1, United. thank you for doing that! what do you think, Murphy?

I agree with you. I have tracked over 10 organizations and/or blogs doing the same thing. I believe that the Democratic Party leadership is depending on dissenters not being well-organized.
Are any of you aware that Lanny Davis has started a petition to get Hillary Clinton on the BHO ticket as VP. If not, then go to this website and check it out.

I realise this is not what PUMA is seeking; but it is a way for the webmasters to link together thus increasing your website visibility within the search engines; which I hope you are listing this site with. In either case, if there are blogs there as well, it is within your grasp to go there and post information about PUMA. ~smile

God bless you, my fellow PUMA’s!! I just donated $15, who’s gonna match me?
I just saw PUMA on Fox news!
I don’t know if this has been addressed yet, but I have been very depressed watching the way the nominating process shook itself out. As a loyal Clinton supporter, I’ve been nearly reduced to tears as I watch the MSM gloat and giggle over their victory in finally besting the Clintons. I, for one, hope that Hillary does NOT accept the VP spot. This is going to sound pretty crass, but she’s got more legislative ability in one of her butt hairs than BHO has in his entire body! She should not, MUST NOT, take a back seat to anyone. Further, I find Mr. Obama’s condescension to be absolutely disgusting.
i’ve written a couple articles i plan on sending to local newspapers. they’re a bit long but i feel they would have some sort of effect on those who dont agree with who the “D”NC chose as THEIR nominee…
So….now that I’ve donated, can anyone tell me exactly what kind of ACTION we’re going to take? Who is the leadership of our group?
Hello All… I hope everyone is well today. A lot of activity here since I logged off last night… A lot of great ideas running around…
[I was just at the HillaryClinton.com blog. It's making me a little sick now. It looks like a case of the abused running to support their abuser(s)]
JGoldman1
am quite new at PUMA. I contributed the maximum possible for my husband and I at a time when Hillary’s campaign looked really slim last month. However, I noticed that many of my posts, like a lot of yours did not appear on the HillaryClinton.com site. I think from a political stand point, it would be very touchy for her to keep an active “Hell raising” blog when she is supposed to be backing Obama.
That said, I was looking to blog elsewhere since I am extremely sickened by all this. I see that there is an enormous amount of websites, blogs etc that are condemming the DNC and opposing Obama’s nomination (fist bumping Presidential candidate is not for me !!) . There are a lot of very passionate women and men (my husband being one that is deeply saddened – he wanted Hillary to be president 8 years ago and there are a ton of men who love her).
I think we need someone who is politically connected, who knows the ins and outs of politics, has contacts and so on…. to help us. I am thinking if any one knows how to contact Geraldine Feraro who resigned from her campaign just to speak out against Obama. I think she has the fire and the conviction to help us.. if not sticking out her neck, at least tell us what we need to do. It is a huge task, taking on the DNC and Obama, it is mind boggling but look, the Wall was taken down in Russia, anything is possible. I think GERALDINE FERARO OR IF ANY ONE HAS ANY IDEA WHO IS REALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT HILLARY, PLEASE THROW IT OUT HERE.
We need some serious help to get our arms around this thing. DNC and Obama’s people are hoping in 5 months, we would have calmed down and the angry Hillary supporters will have forgotten.. look at cnn.com from today to read what they said… Would you forget if someone has stabbed you in the heart from the back ?
Not me !!!
P/S: I have found GERALDINE FERRARO’S ADDRESS IN NEW YORK AND I AM SENDING HER A LETTER NOW.

Hello, all,
It took a while to scan all of the comments on here!
On this blog yesterday, I posted an appreciation of Lou Dobbs’ consistently fair treatment of Hillary’s candidacy on his CNN program. That was post #107 NYCgirl, if anyone wants to go back and read it. Some people here acknowledged that Dobbs has been one of the few in the MSM to actually give Hillary the respect she deserved. However, one poster said we should not thank Lou Dobbs because he is “anti-immigrant”. Without opening that discussion, I would just like to say that Dobbs never said he agreed with Hillary’s positions on the issues — on the contrary, he does not support most of her social policies. But he did not let that stop him from covering her campaign with courtesy and mostly impartial commentary which was sometimes sympathetic to her efforts and sometimes not. Lou Dobbs was an example of competent and intelligent journalism. He also objected vocally and repeatedly to the free pass that Obama was getting from the media, saying at one point “I am not among his adoring media!”
So, say what you want about his politics — I am an independent lefty, so I don’t always agree with him — but he did right by Hillary, and I still think he deserves credit for that — all the more so, knowing that he actually disagreed with her viewpoint.
Thanks for this site, Murphy.
NYCgirl
If my words help anyone feel free to use them.
I have just completed my application to become an independent, which I am excited about. It’s also exciting to see all the PUMA energy.

Visiting the Clinton site in the past few days is like visiting the site of a heinous crime, heck, it is, isn’t it? It’s like a trekking off to a cemetary. All we need is a few placards and some bouquets of flowers, “In Memory Of….”
Maybe they can shut her down, but they can’t shut US down!
Thank heavens for PUMA and the multitude of other sites springing up all over the place to do something about this mess.
I wish there was so spot on the site that listed all the supers that did what Kennedy and Kerry did and voted Obama even though he lost in their states. (Always thought what was good for the gander was good for the goose….)
Would be great to have a list of email/snail mail addresses/tel #’s of Democratic Leadership Orgs and leaders/members, i.e. Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Howard Dean, etc., all in one place, so we could write to them, contact them, etc. and protest ad nauseum. It’s a little daunting to try to locate all the names and contact info. (And work to defeat them….)
It would be fun to flood media outlets with our opposition to their lame reporting on what “we’re” going to do in November. I don’t see anyone flocking over to Obama, don’t even see too many people struggling with the decision about what they’re going to do (i.e. NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA)…..See an awful lot of people flocking over to McCain (I’m one of them. Easiest decision I ever had to make….). Media still hasn’t caught up with us yet. They will. They will.
I’d like to see us work to defeat all the old establishment Dems. Time for them to go, especially the hypocrites. This ain’t the Democratic Party I once knew.
Be a good idea to use Sharpton/Jackson stategies on the media (write to advertisers, execs) at major media outlets protesting biased coverage, outright distortions etc. A list with names and contact info on them would be great too. Everytime they have some talking head telling the world how we’re going to vote (i.e. we’ll come back into the fold, etc., we’d never abandon the Dem. Party), I’d love it if we’d flood the media outlet AND the speaker and the advertisers with protests and corrections.
And to be perfectly honest, even if the Democratic Party “fixes” itself, I doubt I’ll be back. EVER.
I’ll support Hillary. Democratic Party? Not a chance. And that’s “change you can believe in.”
MA PUMAs alert!
Ed O’Reilly (John Kerry’s contender!) is on NECN tonight at 8!
Here is the notice I got:
TONIGHT from 8PM – 8:30PM NewsNight with Jim Braude
Ed will be appearing with Jim Braude on NECN’s News Night–TONIGHT from 8 pm to 8:30 pm. No other local program provides this type of edgy, insightful and in-depth news coverage. Please tune in.
Dear PUMA Democrats ,
I’m also going to post this comment on the action thread.
I think it’s time to start thinking long term. I am deeply committed to protesting the Dem Party’s actions towards Hillary Clinton and their appointment of BO, but we’ve gotten some media exposure so this is now a critical point in our movement. If we seem too angry it will isolate us. We need to take a breather and determine our plan of action for the next few weeks, at least. Personally, the headache I’ve had since Hillary’s speech on Saturday started to subside after I regrouped and thought about how Hillary and her supporters were attacked before the TX and OH primaries. We still won because of Hillary’s plan of action. If you’ve forgotten, this was her message: stay on the issues, stay the course, and realize that your supporter’s personal commitment is the most important advertisement for your candidacy (BO’s money and round-the-clock advertising couldn’t counter that). Let’s stay the course. I am committed to continuing my protest and spreading our message until the convention. I’ve also started planning how I will make it to Denver in August for our protest (I need to save a little each month, need to determine where I will stay once there and so forth). Please start planning for that. Don’t use up your sick days at work so you can take a few days off in August.
Let’s trust in people’s ability to see through the media’s lies. We were able to do so, so it’s only logical that millions of people out there will also. I don’t mean that we should stop writing media outlets, Dem party or gov’t officials. Let’s just calm down and start planning. We can prevail, but only if we don’t attack one another and keep thinking about the real reasons why we are protesting. If you forget, please reread the letters on “1,000 Reasons PUMA Democrats are Protesting the 2008 Presidential Election.” We can keep fighting for our cause without the anger because what we are seeking is reasonable and just.
Once again, let’s calm down. We have a few months before the August convention. We have a better chance of succeeding if we stop and develop a plan of action.
Just a thought,
Lara08

MY RESPONSE:
I agree with you that Lou Dobbs’ coverage of the Democratic presidential nomination race has been fair and balanced.
email: WNDRFUL@AOL.COM
Right now I think I am experiencing a moment of hesitancy. I’m wondering just how we can be effective in achieving our goals when the object of our support, Hillary Clinton, promised on Saturday to “work her heart out to support Obama”. How do we reconcile with that?
And what if Bill Clinton decides to support Obama in an effort to unite the Democratic Party? And Chelsea.
Hoe do we contest the Democratic Party and support Hillary for President when she in fact is supporting Obama?
Are we strong enough to persuade Bill and Hillary to remain neutral and adopt a wait and see focus?
And how does her $20-30 million debt influence the greater picture?
I don’t know what could transpire to relegate Obama’s campaign significance. Unless the United States supports and attack on Iran by Israel. In which case, I doubt many would support Obama as our potential commander in chief.Maybe if we push the economic card….we are already suffering economically and the only way Obama can possibly achieve his plans is to INCREASE our taxes.
I’d really like to hear what our troops overseas think of Obama as President.
Somehow, our numbers have to grow to significant enough proportion to sway the Clintons to be less than completely supportive of Obama and the Democratic Party.
BrooklynNY – I agree completely. I think we should make a list of products/companies to boycott and prominently display it. Companies that advertise during Olbermann or Matthews, for instance.
Hi Everyone – I am so glad to see so many Hillary supporters here – I used to blog on Hillary’s site – it will be a cold day in hell before I vote for Obama. I have now changed to non-affiliated here in NY. I will not stand with a party that nullifies the will of the people for a fraud! Let’s keep working – there are so many skeletons in BO’s closet that he needs more than 1!
**I posted a couple comments earlier today but now I don’t see them – oh well. It is nice to see all the Hillary supporters on here from Hillary’s Blog.
Many times I tried to post on Hillary’s blog and could never get through – but each of you has touched me with your unwavering support for Hillary.
I too will vote McCain this November – BO and his radical friends don’t belong in the White House
but I am still praying for a Miracle in August.
I am also saddened because Hillary’s blog is over for us – the Obamabots have taken it over talking harmony.
God Bless you all for setting up this site.
Mountain Song – I know what you mean – I am hoping Bill and Hillary will change their minds after Michelle Obama’s whitey rant becomes public. Apparently she said alot of racial remarks about the Clintons. I believe this tape/video exists why else would MO need a spokesperson ?
I was doing some research on Howard Dean, head of the DNC on the Wikipedia Encyclopedia and read this on his background;
The Yale years;
Dean attended Yale University. As a freshman, he requested specifically to room with an AFRICAN-American. The university housing office complied and Dean roomed with two Southern black students and one white student from Pennsylvania.[7] One of Dean’s roommates was Ralph Dawson, the son of a sheet metal worker in Charleston, South Carolina and today a “New York City” labor lawyer.

STANDING FOR REFORM…….COUNT EVERY VOTE !
Hi all,
I just sent another e-mail to Hillary’s TX delegates and the uncommitted delegates using:
https://www.lobbydelegates.com/default.aspx
I don’t know if this site is still working, so if you know of a site that has all the superdelegates’ contact info (including e-mails) please post.
Here is my message to Hillary’s committed delegates:
“I, like millions of other Americans, am very disillusioned with how the Democratic Party has acted during the past few months. I have been a proud member of the Democratic Party since I was old enough to vote, but this year it was hijacked by misogynistic and unethical individuals who mercilessly attacked Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the candidate who had the best chance of winning in November’s presidential election. It is for that reason that I will think long and hard before I decide what candidates to vote for this November. In addition, the decisions the DNC have made regarding the status of MI and FL votes/delegates are highly suspect and possibly unconstitutional. Please stand strong and keep supporting Senator Clinton. Your defection will not help unite this party. Your job is to represent the voters and by neglecting this responsibility you also attack the very foundations of our democracy.”
I made some changes to the e-mail I sent to the uncommitted delegates.
Re post #512 by MountainSong:
I think many of us are thinking about that. That’s why we need to keep writing people and expressing our views, so that Hillary and the Dems know that they can’t convince us to support a candidate that wasn’t elected. Keep voting for John McCain in polls. If the poll numbers don’t start changing by August then they will really start to worry. We need to make them reconsider this decision.
This takes me to the other reason I’m fighting so hard to get Hillary Clinton as the pres. nominee. I just don’t believe BO can win and I need to know that I did all I could to get a moral/ethical Democrat elected to the White House (that being Hillary R. Clinton). When the election season first started I listened to what Obama and Hillary had to say with an open mind. Soon though, I realized that the only candidate I could support and who had a realistic chance of winning was Sen. Clinton. The Obama camp possibly spent $40 million trying to convince people to vote for BO and they weren’t able to convince a majority of people. What does that say about him as a candidate? He looks even worse now than he did 15 months ago.

If my last message wasn’t interesting read the following news article, you will have to copy and paste I think. Imagine Dawson and Dean still buddies.
Dawson is quoted saying, “”I’m telling you – while there are a lot of common themes and approaches, this is not locked down,” said New York attorney Ralph Dawson, a Rules Committee member and undeclared superdelegate from New York.”

*********************************************
I see a real problem with this. Is it me? Or are there two rats?
MountainSong,
I am not worried about Bill and Chelsea supporting Obama’s campaign. It won’t change a thing for me, regarding Obama or the Democratic Party and it won’t affect my admiration for Bill (and Chelsea) one iota. I WILL completely disregard anything they say in support of Obama, but I will maintain my love for them both. I don’t think we need to do anything to convince them to remain neutral, refrain from supporting Obama, etc. That’s just wasted energy.
Hillary has a job to do and issues she fervently believes in. She can only remain effective as a Senator for NY and a major player on the political scene if she remains in the Democratic Party’s good graces. So she’s doing what she’s got to do, FOR the time being. Read behind the lines when you see Hillary (Bill or Chelsea) voicing support for Obama, if indeed any of them do. Ignore it.
Don’t lose hope. Do whatever you feel comfortable doing regarding your election choices, OTHER than voting for Obama, and/or supporting the DNC. Personally, I’m going to do everything I can to ensure John McCain is elected.
“Our Time Will Come.” Be patient. But FIGHT, in whatever way you see fit.
When a man like Ted Kennedy can take his superdelegate vote and throw it behind the candidate that LOST in his state and then stand back silently when his choice threatens any and all other delegates with , “There’ll be hell to pay if you superdelegates don’t vote for me if your states did,” times have changed. (AND not in a good way).
When a man like Ted Kennedy, who’s fought against racism, sexism, ageism and discrimination of all kinds all his professional life, can stand by idylly while his chosen candidate and that candidate’s supporters exhibit the most vile, transparent, repulsive sexism towards her and say nothing, do nothing, times have changed.
When a man of this caliber with his history can do these things….Well, all it tells me is the Democratic Party is rotten to the core. Time to throw it out. It’s morphed into its ArchEnemy, the Old Republican Party.
Support John McCain. With any luck, Hillary will be the Democratic nominee after the Dems realize they’re going to lose in November. If they’re stupid and cynical enough to stick with their current candidate, their problem….John McCain is our best hope. If you put the country first, as I’m sure Hillary did, Hillary has more of a chance of working WITH McCain to accomplish her legislative hopes and dreams than she does with Obama (even if Obama is elected). But of course, first she’d still have to be Democrat in goodstanding with the Party. It’s mighty cold out there all alone…..
And if McCain is the next president, at least we’ll be in sane hands.
And then in 2012, all of us can mobilize once again, smarter and tougher for all we’ve been through this round, AND GET HER ELECTED!
So, the key is, in my mind, anyway, that we stay focused (Keep your eyes on the ball) and organize ourselves effectively, make our voices heard and take back the democratic process!
That’s the challenge.
We’ve got to do it.
Murphy – I would suggest getting the puma site listed on the http://justsaynodeal.com/ web site along with all the other pro-Hillary sites.
There is some confusion – there seems to be other puma sites out there.
I am a huge Hillary supporter from Ohio, I tried posting numerous times at hillary’s website and my comments were never posted. I am thrilled at the prospect of communicating with other like minded Hillary supporters. Don’t know where to begin, first off Obama will never get my vote and I do mean NEVER. We in Ohio worked tirelessly to ensure a Senator Clinton victory, what a travesty to give the nomination to a underqualified, nobody, that has not a prayer of winning in the general election. I have tried to no avail to change party affiliation, but here, sorry to report ,was told that i can not do so until 2012, although the NICE LADY I spoke to informed me of my right to vote for the candidate of my choosing, YOU THINK? I still fully believe and support Senator Clinton’s candidacy, and feel very strongly that we all need to continue to fight for what rightfully belongs to her and us. We need a better tomorrow and she is the only person qualified to bring the change that is necessary. I am ready to continue the fight, as are many of my friends and family members, ON TO DENVER. The DNC needs to see the tragic choice that they have bestowed upon us. We will not now, or in the future fall in line with these idiots, we will not give up the fight to put the best possible choice forth for the nomination of this once great party, they need to restore themselves in my eyes and the eyes of many. I am patiently waiting for my marching orders, and am fully confident that together we can put the fear of GOD in the minds and hearts of all the disloyal party leaders and followers! Again ON TO DENVER, let us the people, take back our voices and our country, and put them in the very capable hands of Senator Clinton!
NotFallingInLine,
I agree. Don’t forget Tim Russert, Nora O’Donnell, David Shuster (the guy who accused the Clintons of “pimping out Chelsea”), etc.
How do we get this list going? Where do we start? Any info from anyone out there would be terrific!
Larry King Live at 9 pm on CNN promos ‘can Obama get Hillary voters back?’
Mountainsong,
I believe one way is to keep in contact with Hillary. You can send snail mail, you can visit her MySpace page and send messages from there, and we need to Get LOUD enough so that they still hear us.
I see a lot of LOUD here with all of the letter and email writing to DNC, media, superD’s, etc. We just keep going.
Did anyone else get a snail letter from Hillary dated June 4th? I got one today.

There are 2 threads going with similar names. Maybe your earlier comments were posted on the other thread.
Hillary will be our next President, in spite of everything the media has done to harm her, ignore her and attack President Clinton. All the pundits, and especially chris matthews have much to be ashamed of this year.
They decided early on that it was their agenda to attack her and puff up obama. They are not real journalists, because their sole mission is to prop up their candidate.
BrookylynNY,
I have prepared a list of sponsors for MSNBC, product use list and contact information. Since GE is the parent company of NBC and all of its affiliates, I have posted earlier…should we as a group boycott the Olympics? (I also want to include boycotting all of their channels) Notifiying GE and all of its sponsors could have a powerful impact if we do this collectively. I am asking for support, suggestions for a group letter, etc. The response here has been lukewarm…but I have to admit that I am having problems without threaded posts. For those of you that think this might work for PUMAs, please email me at MissyPuma@gmail.com — I welcome critiques and suggestions alike.
Missy,
I think this is an excellent idea. Go for their bottom line and they will listen. I haven’t bought GE products for years (for other reasons).
I am not sure about the Olympics. What would that look like?

I too tried to post on the Hillary blog and couldn’t get on. Right now it looks like it’s been taken over by the political equivalent of the Moonies. It creepy.
In the last few days I’ve been checking out John McCain’s blog sites. Quite impressive. There are very pretty decent, intelligent people there. They’ve treated the Hillary supporters (who’re coming there in droves) with such
