Let’s have a peaceful night. Riverdaughter reminds us that anger, though necessary and inevitable, must be harnessed and directed thoughtfully in order to prevent it from becoming destructive. We especially need to avoid the sometimes self-destructive outcomes born of anger and frustration. Yes, we are angry and we have cause to be. Yes, we are right and the DNC, the media, and the Obama Movement are wrong. But we have many days and nights and weeks of work ahead of us. Let’s not allow our impatience and frustration with a broken system, an indifferent and dismissive leadership, and an antagonistic media to force us down — down into discouragement, down into despair, or down into distrust of each other. We really are all in this TOGETHER, or all outside alone.
Be wonderful to each other.

Thank you, Murphy. My sentiments exactly. Proud to be a PUMA
We need some more Pumas up here I guess everyone is still down stairs.
let sleeping cats lie???? LOL Not us Pumas!
StarDust
I just invited them all over to the Cat Chat.
Mayor0102
I guess we all need reminders about our tone periodically.
Thanks for nudging us on the previous thread. That’s part of what makes us different from many Obama supporters. We encourage each other to do the right thing and speak kindly.
That’s not to say that there aren’t a lot of good (albeit misguided) people supporting Obama too. But we sure see many of them encouraging impolite behavior.
I’m here! Isn’t it fantastic that even at midnight i can still follow directions!
Yeah Mayor0102
I had to call em all upstairs the other night too.
Night all, see ya tomorrow
night goandersen
Directions? What are those? I need a Garmin.
Went south on I-5 to Portland, OR this afternoon to the airport. Not one O bumpsticker yet!
Idea? Thought about renting a PUMA costume for the July 4th parade and handing out PUMA fliers. But someone might shoot me (they’d need a hunting license). I thought about asking to be placed inbetween the Democratic and Republican floats.
GOODNIGHT GOANDERSON!
Goodnight goanderson. Did you let your pigs, sheep and goats out?
Not that its midnight where some of you are, let’s just peacefully doze on good dreams about PUMA power during this election season.
mayor
I suppose I’m lucky in terms of bumper stickers…here in SC you still see W stickers, so not too many o stickers at all
Nite Nite to everyone. I’ll be back on tomorrow. This puma needs a good cat nap.

I want to let all the new members know that you can buy t-shirts and mugs on the PUMA PAC website. Just go back to home page and look for the PUMA Pac Gear link. There it will tell you the description of the shirts and mugs, t-shirt colors and prices for both. You can order by credit card, check or money order. If ordering thru the mail by check, send murphy an e-mail and she will give you the address.

#10 MAYOR0102
You made me laugh!
Hi Murphy,
Did you get my email?
Hi everyone and i hope everything is ok Murphy
So, is this upstairs?
I hadn’t been able to figure out what “upstairs” was.
#21 Dem4Hillary
Yes, this is upstairs.
ha, yeah, I found upstairs, cool. At first I thought like 12 bloggers were all in the same house!
Well i went into the Gretawirw blog and left a letter size blog. signed it with our site…97% were not happy with pee ewww BO
I can’t chat very long tonight because I have to get up early tomorrow. After three weeks of misery, I’m doing something different tomorrow and going in the field.
well goodnight all….
They were all talking about Ayers and that they believe it. Hey i had a hard time climbing the stairs
Hopefully, I’ll be back later in the week.
Goodnight Dem4Hillary!
But I’ll leave you with this thought, I watched President Clinton’s inagural speech tonight and in the first 5 minutes he was talking about the change that we needed in the country in 93 and he said paraphrased:
“but we cannot have change for only the sake of change”
Bluesgal
Sandipuma – Murphy? Emergency room? Said it wasn’t serious so we just have to trust that was the case. And remember, emergency rooms take forever.
#10 Mayor0102
Even your remark can be taken wrongly. I think we should all get on track and stop the remarks that can be misunderstood.
Night Dem4HIllary Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Purr, purr, purr!
#32 Mayor0102
Emergency rooms do take forever. That’s why I don’t like going there unless I really have to.
Good Nite everyone have kind dreams
I was thinking we could send out little limos with Ayers and pee ewws pictures on them
Barbara
You’re very wise. Good dreams! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, purr, purr, purr!
GOOD NIGHT BARBARA4HILL!
Yes and they do take a long time. Bless her heart
Has anybody got any responces to their letters that they wrote the newspapers?
Poor Murphy she works so hard at this. I sent her tons of pages. She must be exhausted now having to go to emergency.I pray everything is ok
I havn’t got one back
Thats why everyone needs to call their Local TV stations and get their interest in us.
I haven’t got any responces either. But , I have been on my computer so much, they probably couldn’t reach me. I have only got one line..
Oh well give us another week and everyone will know us. I’m going to a meeting saturday at 1:00 with locals for Hillary and we will discuss issues and they all want to go to Denver. I want to go too
Bluesgal, My letter appeared yesterday, Saturday. The editor didn’t change a word. I was at a wedding reception yesterday and most of the newspaper staff was there. Not one word was said by any of them and I’d hoped that it wouldn’t be because of the type of event that we were all at. A superior court judge came by me and quietly said to me, “Quite a letter.” She smiled very positively. A couple of other women also noted the letter with a positive response. We’ll see what happens in the next week or so in the Letters to the Editor that reply to my letter. We can only submit one letter a month (the same person). Thanks for asking. I will get busy tomorrow with additional letters to all our SDs in the state. All are supporting O now.
same here i just have one line and my printer isn’t working. So my son said when he gets here he will get me a new one. Heck thats 5 months away lol
Hes going to move here and build a house for him and me.He wants to build his own shop too
Mayor0102
Wow! I am glad they printed your letter. Sometimes it is hard to get one in there. It sounds like you are getting thru to people. Thats what we need.
a lot of the SD’s recieved payoffs to i’m sure
#48 Sandipuma
I bet you do miss your printer. Does your son live far away?
Bluesgal,
I live in a small town (35,000). It’s not hard to get a letter submitted unless there is a huge event of some kind. I also am going to send a flier to all the Hillary donors in the area. Have about 20 names, but no addresses. So that’s a job too. The local library has a business directory (that most towns have) and I can usually find addresses in those books. These are just little things, but one person can make a difference as we all know. I’m off to finish the washing before bed so Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz and purrs for me. As Barbara reminded me, I can also make remarks that can be misunderstood so I promise to work hard. Thanks, all PUMAs
well i guess i’ll go and rest my eyes. Good night all and see ya later.
Mayor0102
Have you got your PUMA Pac t-shirt, already? I ordered some but haven’t got them yet. Murphy says it takes about two weeks.
Bluesgal
I’m expecting it any day now. It’s been not quite two weeks since I ordered.
GOOD NIGHT MAYOR0102!!!
My son lives 3,200 miles away
GOOD NIGHT SANDIPUMA!
Good Night ((( PUMAS)))
Sweet Dreams
I’ll try again, I went to the Foxnes Obama eyeing Clinton Donors, it said leave a comment. I did….it still says no comments yet..and I was even nice. Murphy, hope you are not at E.R. long.
Witchy 1 saying goodnight and blessings to all.
MAYOR0102
You need to put your letter that you wrote to your hometown paper back on the blogs so everyone can see it. Some might of missed it.
Good night Witchy 1!
I am hoping, I sent Larry Johnson the Obama is a Flip Flopper graphic I designed to go with our flip flop campaign. The first response was an automatic reply. The second response was from Larry and said. “thanks, [my name].
I love the Riverdaughter blog tonight a lot. I was depressed and angry when i thought i was alone. Now, this is fun. Again, i say, every PUMA needs a break. Go rent a movie. Not just any movie; ‘Iron-Jawed angels’ or see on HBO Friday. or buy it from Amazon.com. The election of 1916 for the suffragists was so much like 2008 is — everyone saying the suffragists had to support the dems because the peace issue was so important. But being PUMAs, they didn’t. They said PUMA by holding up signs with quotes, like Susan B. Anthony saying she wouldn’t support any party that didn’t support women. and they had incredible .. and sometimes fun … actions. OK .. here’s an idea. How about posting signs that say; ‘Great Grandma and the suffragists wouldn’t support party unity in 1916 … so they got the vote by 1920′ .. maybe that photo of that Susan B. quote. Well, ok, the sign needs some work. But we can elevate our actions by pointing that all our foremother PUMAs in 1916 got suffrage ONLY by refusing unity with the Dems. no unity before suffrage. guess where they learned that .. in England — also the way women got the vote there. So go get that movie and laugh and cry and watch our great grandmas doing their version of PUMA. now 88 years later we are on the verge of getting our votes counted. so when they call us crazy and stupid for no party unity, we just say, ‘heck, we’re good girls doing what great grandma always taught. Don’t support any party that doesn’t support women. Grandma was always right.’zzzzz bed time.
G’night all. Greetings from Palm Springs. I’ll be leaving some flyers around town perhaps there are other pumas in the desert.
#10, Mayor0102: I like the puma suit in the July 4th parade. Especially being between the dems and republicans. Great idea. Humor is important. We don’t want to become those sort of people like Olberman on MSNBC. He always looks so pained, I can’t watch him and no one would ever want to join him in his cause.
I would like to say that I think that some of the ‘socializing’ here is appropriate. Personally, I like getting to know fellow PUMA members and I think that this is a valuable bonding activity. This type of bonding helps us to form a stronger organization; I am more likely to stand by a friend than I am by a distant acquaintance. Also, laughter is the best medicine in dark times.
phantom joel – I can understand that you are anxious for action. You have had may posts telling you what you can do to get your ideas heard and acted upon.
I would like to point out that not all of us are able to participate in the same way or to the same degree. We are not all the same – we are a diverse group and each of us has different talents and different restrictions and limitations on time, resources, etc. I would ask for some tolerance from you on this point.
Are ideas for cartoons still being solicited?
If so, where would we post our ideas?
#48 sandipuma
what about printing in the library and then making copies? Kinko’s charges for using their computers.
Hey guys,
I just found this article on NYTimes website. It looks like HBO is working with ethanol special interest companies too. Isn’t that something? Here’s the link:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/23/us/politics/23ethanol.html?_r=1&ref=politics&oref=slogin
I am falling asleep and can’t type. Can somebody pleas send this link about HBO passing out signs to his supporters behind him. I sent it to every show on Fox except Hannity and Colmes and On the Record. Here’s the link:

Thank you
Does anybody have an email address for Donna Brazile? I tried to send her a link the the BO storm blog, asking her to stop the hate, but the email came back from info@brazileassociates. Any others?
Guys,
There must be something wrong with my email. I didn’t get the confirmation from anybody who I sent this video. What should I do? I sent it to Situation room and Cafferty, and all of the Fox news programs except Hannity and Colmes and Greta.
Thank you
Sorry, I have no clue. I am off to bed. It’s 3:40 a.m. in CA. Talk to you guys later.

Happy Monday Pumas,
Murphy-thank you for your kind words the other day.
It appears that NoName has changed his mind again. Instead of sticking to his 18 state strategy, he is now flooding all 50, partly for new voters, and partly for new donors. I believe the article says he plans to spend a total of $300 million. Wow, wouldn’t that feed a lot of folks. I found this on Fox:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25306929/
I plan to work on emails/letters to Minnesota and Wisconsin this week. I have only sent to the state Dem party, but will add the state Repub party as well. It can’t hurt to include them.
Have a good Monday — the start of another great week!
Good Morning Pumas! Ugggg…my schedule is a little off so Mondays are like my hangover dayz:(
Fox and Friends just mentioned PUMA!!!!
Yea, I saw Fox too. Steve D said PUMAs were the group to watch!!!!
go Ducey!
GM
I took a survey this am.
It would be great if we can all do this survey and show who we would actual vote for. The questions were fair.
Check it out……..

LETTER TO HILLARY FROM US
Spent a good deal of time faxing the Letter to Hillary from us. I faxed it to her 9 New York Senate offices and to her main Senate Office in Washington DC. i also emailed it to her at her senate office.
I noted that there was a disclaimer of sorts on her website that said snail mail takes a long long time to get through, especially if there are items in packages, so maybe she will acknowledge she has received her $1 bills – or she has not received them if they are tied up in the security scanning system.
Morning ACTION Post up — Today is Flip-Flop Action Monday!
Take it upstairs!
Utah Puma, yeah wouldn’t that 300 million feed a lot of starving families right here in “good ole USA”!! Talk about arrogance and wasteful management of 300 million..it breaks my heart that this country allows him to get away with it!!
That’s not what I got on hear to say, but as usual, I read something, and it gets by blood boiling.
What I wanted to say is that , I wish I could stay up long enough to chat and have a cocktail with the rest of you on late night . You do seem to enjoy yourselves!
