P.U.M.A. PAC Responds To Malicious Harassment and First Amendment Interference by Obama Supporters

Boston, MA – July 1, 2008

P.U.M.A. PAC, the Voice of the Voters in the Democratic Party, has been the victim of relentless, targeted internet attacks by Senator Obama’s supporters.  In an attempt to silence our voices, we have been the target of a focused campaign of internet harassment, vandalism, slander and technological tampering.

On June 25, 2008, a multitude of false ‘spam blog’ reports, all occurring within one night, triggered Google to LOCK DOWN our Blogspot.com site.  We still have not been able to access the blog or update our members.  It has now been six days that we have had NO ACCESS to our private forum. Our blog is a private forum in which we exercise our First Amendment right to free speech.  We use freely distributed software which is available to everyone, and pay the cost of web-hosting to a third-party internet service provider.  We know by the email addresses and ISP addresses that these attacks were coordinated and carried out by Senator Obama’s supporters. It is a violation of our civil rights for Senator Obama’s supporters to try to prevent us from making public political statements in private forums – forums for which we pay significant costs.

Since June 13, our entry in Wikipedia has been the focus of repeated malicious attacks by Senator Obama’s supporters, who continue to add racist, sexist, and blatantly untrue statements, with the intent of slandering our reputation and infringing on our right to make political statements. Our entry has been repeatedly deleted against our will and in spite of our efforts to protect it.  We know by the email addresses and ISP addresses that these attacks were coordinated and carried out by Senator Obama’s supporters. We have asked Wikipedia to investigate this obvious violation of its policies. Wikipedia has been less than helpful.

P.U.M.A. PAC is the Voice of the Voters. We are a legally established political action committee, protected by the laws and regulations of the Federal Election Commission and the Constitution of the United States. Political dissent is perhaps the most precious of all the rights we are entitled to as American citizens. It is a chilling thought indeed that the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party for the Presidency of the United States, and the sitting Governor of one of our nation’s largest and most influential states would in any way, whether explicitly or implicitly, condone, coordinate, or seek to benefit from the illegal and unconstitutional actions of those un-American citizens who try to silence or intimidate opponents by attacking their right to publicly dissent.

We organize and promote lawful, peaceful, and effective civil action by US citizens.  We never condone or support destructive, violent, or unlawful acts.  We demand that our constitutional and civil rights as citizens be protected and respected by our elected officials.  We call on Senator Obama, Governor Rendell and the leadership of the DNC to denounce those responsible for these malicious attacks on our organization, our property, and our members.  

UPDATE 7/1/08 AT 9:10AM: PUMA PAC IS NOT THE ONLY GROUP TARGETED BY SENATOR OBAMA’S INTERNET THUGS. DOZENS OF OTHERS IN THE JUST SAY NO DEAL COALITION HAVE BEEN TARGETED. ALL OF US ARE VULNERABLE. ALL OF US ARE TRUE GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS AND OFTEN LACK THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND/OR TECHNICAL SKILLS TO PROTECT OURSELVES FROM THESE COORDINATED ATTACKS. IF YOU KNOW OF ANY OTHER GROUP, OR IF YOU YOURSELF, HAVE BEEN THE TARGET OF THESE UNCONSTITUTIONAL ATTACKS, PLEASE TELL US ABOUT IT IN COMMENTS AND EMAIL ME AT MURPHY@PUMAPAC.ORG. THANK YOU TO WILL AND DIANE AT JUST SAY NO DEAL FOR SPEAKING UP AND CONTINUING TO BRAVE THE SEXIST HATEFUL ONSLAUGHT THAT IS DAILY RELEASED BY SENATOR OBAMA’S SUPPORTERS. SENATOR OBAMA CONTINUOUSLY REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACTIONS OF HIS SUPPORTERS. HE AIMS TO BENEFIT FROM THEIR ACTS WITHOUT EVER ACKNOWLEDGING OR ADMITTING THEM. THIS IS A PATTERN WITH SENATOR OBAMA — ONE WHICH SHOULD GIVE EVEN HIS SUPPORTERS PAUSE.

PRINT OUT THIS LETTER; FAX OR EMAIL IT TO SENATOR OBAMA AND GOVERNOR RENDELL. TELL THEM TO CALL OFF THEIR DOGS!
Senator Barack Obama, Obama for America, P.O. Box 802798, Chicago IL 60680
EMAIL HERE!
FAX: (202) 228-4260
Governor Rendell, 225 Main Capitol Building, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17120
EMAIL HERE!
Fax: (717) 772-8284
UPDATE 7/1/08 AT 12:23PM: Perhaps the thugs are attacking because the nightmares are making them do it. They are now dreaming about what a horrendous mistake they made in selecting such a disastrously unprepared candidate. Like we said the other day to the DNC and the Obama Movement: DREAM ON!

UPDATE 7/1/08 AT 12:36PM: Just received this email from a HOUND Dog who is upset. Thought I’d pass it along: 
Subject:   Oh murphy.. give it a rest
From:   deleted
Date:   Tue, July 1, 2008 9:23 am
To:   murphy@pumapac.org
Options:  
 
Despite what you may think Murphy, your Republican coalition is not being targeted
by Obama. You are not the "voice of the voters" and I find it astounding that you
cling to this notion that you are a group of 18 million. haha 

Despite your ideas that the world revolves around you and PUMA, Senator Obama and
Gov. Rendell are not in charge of what others do. It is not their problem if you
can't access your cess pools of ignorance.
You arent going to get anywhere calling Democrats "dogs" because that further
reveals the glaring truism that you are no Democrat. Did you eve get that $500 back
from rape-appeasing McCain? How about your contributions to Al Gore? Oh that's
right- you didn't contribute a thing to him.

You want to talk about "exercising" free speech- yet you censor your site to ONLY
PUMA voters. And you should see how some of your pac behave. My oh my momma cat
would be mighty disappointed. You don't (nor do any of your flock) allow any
objective opinion or thought to cross through your vitriolic echo chamber. 

So please, give it a rest with the hypocrisy.
Deal with it.
You're being exposed more and more each day.
You're GOP attacks are not going swift boat another Democrat.

Pumas, be sure to send this letter — fax is best, but email is good too. Esp to Gov Rendell, as his staff probably actually reads the mail he receives.

This is a coordinated attack ON US. We must defend our rights vigorously and LOUDLY.

Fax your letters!

Reposting bmw60’s links from downstairs.

“Below are YouTube links that are wonderful and tell a great story. I will try to give you titles of them also. Please rate them and leave comments … we need to make them popular and please pass these links on to your friends… hope this helps us all stay strong and not let the DNC or Obama assume our votes and maybe we can say to them once again, “Just get over it.”

Wow, Murphy, thanks for the update and some of the evidence I was requesting. That is really disturbing. I had not realized that the internet sabotoge was actually traced to particular people or organizations. Thank you for investigating this and for all of the amazing work that you do! Happy birthday PUMA and Happy “Independent’s” day to all!. Off to work. :)

#4 DawnE on 07.01.08 at 9:01 am

morning PUMA’s
this letter would go nicely in Letter to the Editors in newspapers as well…
I also have a comment about the money spent on Secret Service guarding BO. Would that money not be better spent watching over our tireless Murphy?

#5 utahpuma on 07.01.08 at 9:02 am

Murphy

I just emailed you my new email address.

I will fax the Press Releases right now. Great write up and hopefully the word gets out to the nation.

I also emailed Oprah today. I have a feeling I’ll hear back from her. :)

REPOST FROM DOWNSTAIRS

When I was on the link referenced by #371 jrhed above, I noticed a link to an article in the Baltimore Sun.
As you may be aware Maryland (my state) is a very pro-Obama state ( free donuts, hotdogs and transportation gets you lots of votes).
This article explains how Obama needs to capture the Independent Voters. There is a comments section following the article.
We are going to need lots of exposure in this state and I am asking that everyone visit this article and post a comment.
I am going to do mine as soon as I return from my meetings this AM.

Thanks jrhed for the article. Sun Article in referenced down the right hand side of the page.

Thanks everyone!

#7 prplvette85 on 07.01.08 at 9:05 am

Is there some sort of cease and decist..(did I spell that right:) order or class action law suit that we can file against Obama and his supporters? Maybe we should ask Heidi Li…she is a lawyer. Do we have any lawyers in our Puma Family? Isn’t this against our civil rights? can we call the aclu? sharpton lol…..wonder what he would tell us…never mind…I already know :). But seriously there must be something we can do legally.
This is censorship at its worst. Remember when everyone was in an uproar with Tipper Gore because she wanted to censor music and books? I believe this is far worse.

#8 vadaryl on 07.01.08 at 9:08 am

Greta blog is still up, has that letter been posted on it yet. There has been over 1,000 posts.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080701/ap_on_el_pr/obama_faith

“But Obama’s support for letting religious charities that receive federal funding consider religion in employment decisions could invite a storm of protest from those who view such faith requirements as discrimination.”

I don’t even have words to say anything about this…… I’m speachless……

#10 MuchAdoAboutSomething on 07.01.08 at 9:11 am

#11 antifish on 07.01.08 at 9:11 am

Done, Murphy. Emails sent to both. My “application” for nominee is in the mailbox waiting to be picked up along with three different solicitations from various party groups. I just stick a Puma bill in the postage paid envelopes they provide and send them back.

#12 prplvette85 on 07.01.08 at 9:13 am

utahpuma: speaking of oprah, I have tried to unsubscribe to her website for 2 months now. It keeps saying it cannot be processed at this time. I have emailed her, and her tech support, and written letters to no avail. now I just keep putting it as spam, as nothing else has worked. makes you wanna say hmmmmm………

#13 antifish on 07.01.08 at 9:14 am

Wanted to post the AOL Straw Poll link again since we moved up. If you haven’t voted already please do so. If you have, please visit and look at the pretty red color on the map. :)

#14 Headclunker on 07.01.08 at 9:17 am

ALL ABOUT THE MONEY

I believe that all the harassment we are seeing is because the BO campaign is failing. They are getting desperate. I believe that both the DNC and the BO Campaign are finding out that Americans also vote with their MONEY. And if you significantly disregard the popular votes, or obtain them fraudulently, they may find this a more effective alternate way to let you know how they feel.

I signed up for email from the DNC, GOP and the major candidates this election because I intended to get more involved than I did during the last disasterous presidential election. At this point, I am really enjoying the email I get from the BO campaign. I especially enjoy telling them off when they ask for donations. The last several mentioned that the month end closing for contributions was here. The one prior to that blamed the P.A.C.’s for them being behind on fund raising.

Have we been BAD CATS!?

#15 PumaAllie on 07.01.08 at 9:19 am

Speaking of youtube, have you seen this great new video from beethovenqueen? (out today)

PUMA: Kiss Him Goodbye, Hillary!!!

of course it got added to the PUMA Alliance channel.

The choicest PUMA of YouTube.

Our PUMA comments are still in “moderation” on the NYT caucus blog regarding our protest against Google.

#17 Goalucard4Hill on 07.01.08 at 9:22 am

Happy Birthday, PUMA. Meow - prrr - hssst –

This post is for Matt, PiePiePie, and Iam - last night as I was watching the local news - there were about 12 young people ages 18 to 22 - all had taken on the cause to change their name to add Hussein as the middle name - is this for solidarity for the nonameone - so that whenever someone says anything about him - they are saying the same about them as well - like in Sparatus movie - when they wanted him to step forward so they could go after him - and all his men said they were Sparatus - sorry I am asking you three - but enjoyed our conversations last night and want to learn how to go forward through your thoughts and eyes - Have a good day all.

#18 NoMoreInFL on 07.01.08 at 9:24 am

Morning PUMAS and Happy Birthday!! :)

Thank God we live in America where free speech is protected. Guess some will have to learn the hard way when their actions (actually a blessing in disguise) will bring down *61.

Six minutes and counting…

#19 ladyhawkke on 07.01.08 at 9:26 am

Will do. Thanks, Murphy.
#332 downstairs That link has been removed. Imagine that! We are lucky to have this site as everything negative about Obama is still being removed. I saved Michelle Obama’s thesis to my computer as way back someone said this would happen.

#8 Just posted on Greta site…

Did you get a e-mail from the dems and them selling t-shirts !! I just deleted it.

Had a conversation with my husband last night on politics. He is a Dem and is so desparate to get rid of the Bush Administration and all it’s workings, that he can’t see through the mess and vote McCain. However, he did admit that he has always liked McCain. The repeat of the republican and Bush mess is a big one to be up against in November.

Not sure what’s next, but McCain needs to come up big.

#31 NoMoreInFL on 07.01.08 at 9:37 am

Murphy, please check your e-mail. Sending you a contact and waiting for info on attacks.

What one should always remember…don’t piss off a PUMA with attacking free speech!!

#32 hillaryistheone on 07.01.08 at 9:37 am

Sent emails and have letter ready to mail for Dean. The only question I have is, how can people support his guy Obama…including Hillary and Bill….. can’t they see just how evil Obama and his supporters are?????

I just don’t understand!!

This is the third stage - they fight you… ;D

#35 Ergot4Hill on 07.01.08 at 9:40 am

This is an outrage, and more evidence that NObama will do anything to win.

I am madder than a disenfranchised Michigan voter who stayed home because they were told the primary didn’t count.

#36 Goalucard4Hill on 07.01.08 at 9:42 am

Good post from last night BMW60 - regarding cults and their followers - how DO WE fight them then??? Fire with fire?? Do we lie down and take it - right now we are doing everything by the book and the law - where do we go from here - will pure numbers make a difference - I have posted on newspapers, written letters to Senators and Governors, boycotted advertisers of the mainstream media - and these other people keep on keeping on - there must be a way - perhaps legally that we can overcome this tradegy before its too late - I do remember seeing someone post on here that she was a lawyer - making we could get her suggestions.
Off for the day - but had to get my Puma comments in.

Back later

Good Morning Fellow PUMA’s!

I just caught up on my reading and am shocked at the happenings of last night/evening!

Just sent my letter - I received their canned reply of being unable to respond due to volume, etc. I gave them another piece of my mind.

As Rosanna Dan said: “If it’s not one thing, it’s another”!
It seems to be their game plan! Soon! They will implode and then, maybe then, people will start to think for themselves instead of being swept up by emotion only.

GROWL POWER!

P.S. I forgot - THANK YOU, MURPHY!!!!

#43 sweetpea on 07.01.08 at 9:46 am

Rec’d EMail requesting $30.00 donation and get free shirt from OBAMA CAMPAIGN.

Made my remarks about NO BAMA and sent back to DNC.
This is my way of showing NO SUPPORT for OBAMA.

#44 bmw60 on 07.01.08 at 9:46 am

We cannot fight the cultist, but we must try to reason with them and understand how they think… here is a bit I found on the internet and perhaps it will help all here:

Everyone take note: Cultists are fiercly fraternal. They take personal offense to any and all things critical to their brethren. They attack en masse, and will often recruit Cultists for backup whenever they need to portray the appearance of popularity. One should expect a flood of Cultist rhetoric at that point.
Pay attention everyone. This type of Cultist is among the more reasonable types. They are able to understand right from wrong, and generally are well informed and honest. The issue with this type is they are radically naive. This cultist is arguing something like: A Nazi soldier was not necessarily anti-semetic, he may have been just really proud to be German and serve in the Army. While technically true, only the most naive among us would come to the same conclusion. (ignoring Nazi conscrpits)
This is a prime example of the Cultist mentality. He/she cannot grasp anything as fact (even the obvious) unless their leader says it to be true. A Cultist can look at this video and actually be offended by the obvious. This explains why a Cultist will fall for their leader praising the public financing system, and then saying it’s fundamentally broken within a 7 month period. They will do so passionately and with a straight face, because this is a cult.

Comment by obama cultist

First off, u don’t know Obama. You never been to Chicago–this is so clear due to ur ignorance on Obama’s history while working as an organizer for the Roseland Community. End of Story!
Further more, you should, 1st, tell us who u are and what have u contributed to society??? “nothing is my guess”. How can u make a serious statement when no one knows “jack” about u? what would come up if we googled u? a news article about u being busted smoking crack??? I wonder.

bigticer (22 hours ago)
Reply
Now, look how this Cultist still cannot articulate a cogent argument; even after intial criticism. He/she assumes I’ve never been to Chicago based on NOTHING; for all they know I could be blogging FROM Chicago. And, then, of course, the required childish insult; in this case “smoking crack.” To a Cultist, opposition to Obama is, by definition, ignorance.

#46 EWard on 07.01.08 at 9:49 am

Our PUMA letters have been liberated from “moderation” and are now posted on the NYT caucus blog about the Google fiasco.

#47 NoMoreInFL on 07.01.08 at 9:52 am

Yes, we will win!! Thanks SparkForHill, sometimes we forget when the bombs are falling all around that the “hill” is just a few more steps away!! :)

#48 Goalucard4Hill on 07.01.08 at 9:53 am

bmw60 - I have tried via email and when canvassing for Hillary to REASON with them and I can tell by their voices their eyes have already glazed over - could never get them to even listen to anything that I tried to say about HOPE and CHANGE what - politics??? Yeah right - there must be a way to deprogram back to normal thinking again - if you can figure that one out - I will be the first one out there to try it.

#49 utahpuma on 07.01.08 at 9:53 am

Murphy
I already emailed you about the threats I had and why I had to change my email.

Already faxed to NoName and Gov. Hound

So being a growl-on Puma with claws out (actually a pissed off Puma) I will FAX and/or email the above Puma Press Release to the newspapers I have already contacted in Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, Montana, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. I kept up a database on them.

With faxes I don’t have to give out a phone number.

Time to go to work.

#50 MtGirl on 07.01.08 at 10:05 am

It is finally becoming clear to everyone that OB and his other DNC fellows are serious about taking away our right to free speech. They are always playing the race card if it gives them an edge and they watched every single word Pres. Clinton ever uttered so they could jump on it. Now they are organized about shutting PUMA up?? What are they SO AFRAID of anyhow?? As if I didn’t know.

#51 ladyhawkke on 07.01.08 at 10:06 am

Murphy, am I to cut and paste your letter exactly and then add my comments and sign my name? Usually you have a link to the action. So, please clarify for me. Thanks.

#52 greenfun on 07.01.08 at 10:09 am

Just sent a fax of the letter to both Owanna and recreant Rendell.

#53 SparkForHill on 07.01.08 at 10:10 am

bmw60 counted downstairs that we have about 35 active bloggers. bmw60 asked how many are with Puma pac. Murphy would know more, but I guess the first week we had 600-700 letters to DNC on reasons… We then had 400-500 on introduction thread. We have millions of hits and viewers - include MO, do not you think so?

DMurphy, per your request to fax or snail mail the letter, might you have an email address for Gov Rendell?

#56 TrishfromCanada on 07.01.08 at 10:18 am

E-mailed the letters. I will fax them later when I go out, don’t want the fax traced to my phone line , call me paranoid :)

#57 goDGS on 07.01.08 at 10:18 am

I think that we can expect a lot of this kind of activity in the future. They do have the technological expertise to do this form of criminal harrassement.
This is reminiscent of the ‘brownshirts’ when the nazis were coming into power. I guess this gives a clue at the Obamat mentality.
The good news is that we are frightening them! We will not quit nor will we back down.
I have my Hillary sticker on the car and if we can evolve a PUMA sticker, I will put that next to it.
I do expect some harrassment in Denver, but they will not stop us!!

PUMA PAC

#58 murphy on 07.01.08 at 10:19 am

SparkForHill #52 — that is correct.

ladyhawke #50 — cut and paste, add to it if you like, print and fax. or email. Details arent all that important — the important thing is that Obama and Rendell hear from HUNDREDS of Pumas today that we are all OUTRAGED at these Obama attacks on the civil rights of ALL of us.

This isn’t about “Me” — I’m immune to their personal attacks. This is about Puma PAC, our movement, and our right to political dissent.

If they come after me and my site today, what will stop them from coming after you and your site tomorrow??

#59 Lin4Hill on 07.01.08 at 10:24 am

Murphy - never mind –disregard my email. Something funky happened, but I hope I’ve fixed it.

#60 SparkForHill on 07.01.08 at 10:24 am

Email Sent. Exactly Murphy - they can do to one, they can do all her supporters. If they are the true winner, why they have to do theese.

#61 Pretjene on 07.01.08 at 10:24 am

SADLY, these Obama supporters I have talked to on Yahoo and explained that this kind of “hacking” of websites and blogs that express different political beliefs are in SUPPORT of the hacking! NEVERMIND the FACT that many of the websites that were anti Hillary were not only riddled with lies, and blatant derrogatory comments but also done in poor taste! These Obama Sheeple are too far gone for them to EVER see that this type of censorship effects all of us! They feel justified and PROUD of the way in which this campaign has been run. THIS is YET another reason why I can NEVER unite with the party under Barack Obama! They also claim that GOOGLE supports Obama! THIS is always their answer that is suppose to make this attacks acceptable!

Irreverent Rev. Jeremiah Wright: Just words?
By Marie Jon
“America was given a small snippet of what was obviously an ongoing theme within the sanctuary of Obama’s church. We can see clearly how Rev. Jeremiah Wright brought out the worst in human nature. The congregation’s unrighteous shouts of “amen” were uttered with glee, along with inappropriate laughter as hateful words were spewed by their senior pastor.”

Obama Camp Rejects New Black Panther Party Endorsement After Removing Web Posting

Wednesday, March 19, 2008

“The New Black Panthers, who inherited their name from the Black Panther Party of the 1960s, had the page on the Obama campaign’s public forums. The group’s message said it is backing Obama because he “represents ‘positive change’ for all of America. Obama will stir the ‘Melting Pot’ into a better ‘Molten America.’”

NRA plans $40M fall blitz targeting Obama
By JONATHAN MARTIN |

NRA members will get automated phone calls, mail pieces and pre-election editions of the group’s three magazines making the case against Obama.

The National Rifle Association plans to spend about $40 million on this year’s campaign, with $15 million of that devoted to portraying Barack Obama as a threat to the Second Amendment rights upheld last week by the Supreme Court.

“Our members understand that if Barack Obama is elected president, and he has support in the Senate to confirm anti-gun Supreme Court nominees, [the District of Columbia v. Heller decision] could be taken away from us in the future,” Chris Cox, head of the NRA’s political arm, told Politico.

The politically powerful gun rights group will split its message efforts between communicating with its 4 million members and the tens of millions more firearms owners across the country.

I was also over on the Resign Howard Dean petition, and reading the outrage and disenfranchising of my fellow Americans brought tears to my eyes. Its one thing if you wrong me, but I cannot bear to see injustices perpetrated on others. I am outraged, I am mad, and while I do not have a whole lot of spare time, I will give my money and my time to this cause! No Obama, No Way, Not Now, Not Ever.

Obama’s Money Class
By DAVID BROOKS Published: July 1, 2008

Barack Obama sells the Democratic Party short. He talks about his fund-raising success as if his donors were part of a spontaneous movement of small-money enthusiasts who cohered around himself. In fact, Democrats have spent years building their donor network. Obama’s fund-raising base is bigger than John Kerry’s, Howard Dean’s and Al Gore’s, but it’s not different.

On the Second Amendment, Don’t Believe Obama!

Friday, June 06, 2008

On the Second Amendment,

Don’t Believe Obama!

The presidential primary season is finally over, and it is now time for gun owners to take a careful look at just where apparent nominee Barack Obama stands on issues related to the Second Amendment. During the primaries, Obama tried to hide behind vague statements of support for “sportsmen” or unfounded claims of general support for the right to keep and bear arms.

Print PDF version

But his real record, based on votes taken, political associations, and long standing positions, shows that Barack Obama is a serious threat to Second Amendment liberties. Don’t listen to his campaign rhetoric! Look instead to what he has said and done during his entire political career.

FACT: Barack Obama supported a proposal to ban gun stores within 5 miles of a school or park, which would eliminate almost every gun store in America.9

FACT: Barack Obama voted not to notify gun owners when the state of Illinois did records searches on them.10

FACT: Barack Obama voted against a measure to lower the Firearms Owners Identification card age minimum from 21 to 18, a measure designed to assist young people in the military.11

FACT: Barack Obama favors a ban on standard capacity magazines.12

FACT: Barack Obama supports mandatory micro-stamping.13

FACT: Barack Obama supports one-gun-a-month sales restrictions.9

FACT: Barack Obama supports a ban on inexpensive handguns.9

FACT: Barack Obama supports a ban on the resale of police issued firearms, even if the money is going to police departments for replacement equipment.9

Here is the email (sorry I don’t have acces to a fax machine) I sent to Gov. Rendell. I will send the canned one to Barack Obama:

Dear Governor Rendell:

You were a dogged and effective supporter of Hillary Clinton during the primary race. Her supporters much appreciated seeing your humor and directness on tv. I know I sang your praises to everyone I discussed the race with. Where did that Ed Rendell go? I don’t have a problem with you now supporting the presumptive nominee of the party (although it would have been nice to see someone have the courage to hang in there until the convention), but now that you are supporting Obama you seem to be adopting the same dirty tricks that he and his supporters rely on. Call off the dogs that you let loose to interfere with others first amendment rights to express our preferences in this election. We pumas are not Republicans, but lifelong Democrats that cannot support this nominee for an assortment of reasons, the main one being the manner in which he was selected. I suspect you know that, but love the ‘game’ of politics. Honest debate is fine, blocking our blog sites and trying to silence us will not bode well for the future of the Democratic party. Count on it!

Murphy, did I miss something? What makes you think Ed Rendell is behing this?

I had a thought about fundraising. Remember the Media relentlessly touting Hillary’s inevitability and Money Machine way back when. I think people stopped giving because of that perception. It was only when she lent her campaign personal funds that her supporters stepped up.

Could the same thing be happening to BO?

IS IT JUST ME!!!!!! OR….

WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH THESE FORMER HILLARY ENDORSERS? WESLEY CLARK JUST SAID THAT HE IS BACKING OBAMA BECAUSE OF HIS “SUPERIOR JUDGEMENT.” I THOUGHT THESE PEOPLE WERE INTELLIGENT. JUDGEMENT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE PUMAS ARE DISGUSTED ABOUT. OBAMA’S JUDGEMENT IS ATROCIOUS, I THOUGHT THAT WAS A GIVEN!

#123 Dragonfly on 07.01.08 at 11:37 am

ladyhawkke, if you are here, please email me at dragonflypuma@gmail.com. I have another Orlando PUMA who wants to chat with you. I don’t have your email addy or I would have given it to her.

thanks

#124 SparkForHill on 07.01.08 at 11:37 am

Many for BO Elites do not read either, they hear his Speeches - that’s all.
As we headed to 4th July holiday, we will facing our friends or families who are for BO. It’s good time to open the dialog with them, ask what they know and tell what we know… I am sure you will be shocked so little they know about him…

#125 NoMoreInFL on 07.01.08 at 11:41 am

#110 SparkForHill I am not calling the press but people that can stop *61 from the tactics that his goons are doing. Remember when Clyburn claimed “Hillary” supporters called him with remarks. They forget that everything is traceable!

Go Murphy!! How they forget…”United, we will win”!

#127 firechief on 07.01.08 at 11:42 am

WOW, progressive radio hit a new low this morning. Listening to two female dj personalities out of LA, they wondered aloud if progressive radio has a responsibility to vett Barack Obama objectively, discuss some of the dirt on him, or should they just support his every move and do all they can to get him elected? They chose to close their eyes, just march on and get him in there.

I was stunned to hear this. They may as well have come right out and said, “shall I just put blinders on and keep drinking the kool aid, or what?”

What good does that do ANYBODY?

This is complete lunacy. All across the board, whether it’s the conservative side or the progressive side, our media has done our democracy a grave disservice with this election. It’s up to us to TAKE IT BACK and get this country turned around.

#128 vadaryl on 07.01.08 at 11:43 am

After 15 months can you believe we don’t know to much about BHO. How can that be? Another month just went by and did we learn a thing. I just don’t get it.

Cosmeta and Pumas, no matter what - tomorrow is always another day.

#131 NoMoreInFL on 07.01.08 at 11:46 am

#126 We did learn a lot!! His body language while Hillary was talking with his arms folder (don’t anyone enter) and the smiles and gesters that she gave when we spoke about us…not supporting *61. She knows we are stronger than any words that he can say.

PUMAS ROCK!!

#132 Dragonfly on 07.01.08 at 11:46 am

Murphy, just trying to catch up and saw what happened at the grocery store with your 7 year old. It is just so upsetting to me. I am glad you are so strong! Thank you for this excellent post - I am going to work on my action items now.

#133 NewOrleansPuma on 07.01.08 at 11:47 am

Everyone: Yes, there is lots to do today, but PLEASE go see beethovenqueen new video, mentioned by PumaAllie,…It is fabulous!..It is currently rated three stars…Hit it hard…rate it 5. The paw prints, the music, the message, one of the best yet…Would love to see it on this site somewhere…na na na…na…..na na na na …

#136 LandiPUMA on 07.01.08 at 11:49 am

Hi folks

I’m Violet Hill’s partner/hubby. She’s been posting here since Hillary’s “exit” speech in early June. I’ve also been very involved here since then, reading the PUMApac blogs & posts daily and doing what I can for the cause (like writing letters, etc). I thought I’d jump in now to give my own separate input and to add another male to the pack of pumas.

Violet and I have been long-time fighters for women’s and gay rights, environment issues, etc. We both campaigned hard for Hillary and donated hundreds to her. We’ve long been liberal-leaning Democrats and have always voted Dem. I was even a member of MoveOn.org (ugh!) until they endorsed BO (I gave them a piece of my mind when they did that). HOWEVER, this year, if Hillary is not the nominee, we plan on voting McCain because we feel that’s the best strategy to keep BO from the White House and to give Hillary the best chances to run and win in 2012.

I hope many of us disgruntled Hill-supporters, particularly in the swing states, come around to realizing that voting Mac is the most effective strategy to defeat BO!

Together we can teach the DNC a lesson by voting AGAINST their illegitimate, selected nominee in Nov. And right now we can also protest and try to do something about the injustices, corruption and “brokenness” in the Dem party, their Primaries system, the DNC; as well as the bias of the U.S. media. I’m in PUMA to do all I can toward these ends. Both Violet and I are writers; I’m a writer and editor and she’s also a translator (English/Spanish). These are skills we can contribute. –Landi

Hi to all fellow PUMAS
Murphy is it possible that our membership list has been hacked by some nobama troll?

This morning my phone rang at 9:02; I answered and there was silence and a beep. It has been doing that every six minutes.

Called the phone company (big waste of time). They said they would test my phone, and I should call them in five minutes.

During that five minutes the call came through again, and my answering machine picked it up.. same thing - silence and a beep.

Called the phone company back. This person said there was nothing on my account that I had called. GRRRRRRRRRRR … I explained the calls again. The person said after another call to hit *9. She said a module was probably stuck. I said, “It make also be someone that is trying to intimidate me.” Of course she thought I was paranoid.. Right…

Has this happened to anyone else?? These people really are a bunch of thugs. How could so many people be so blind?

Murphy, you are so brilliant. Your letters are such an inspiration. I need to have hope..

Purrs to all..

I went and voted - but my question is why are the polls that are showing the Chosen One lagging never provided to the public….besides the obvious reason of the MSM in the tank crap. All Americas, voters and ppl have a right to hear the facts, ask the questions, provided with the truth and then make there decision. Problem is this is not happening….come November all who contributed to this mess will have to bear the responsiblities for their own actions and participation in this “lame excuse” of the political election(s).

Absolutely gorgeous day here in Northern Indiana. Looking out my window, it is so hard to believe that our most basic civil right to freedom of speech is being violated in such despicable ways.
I do not have a fax or printer right now and am ignorant of the ability to “copy and paste”….
What I have done is sent the second half of my $$PUMA pledge.
I respect the fact that Murphy hasn’t been drumming for contributions but I suspect the extra $$$s would be most helpful right now to promote and defend our cause.
Thank you, Murphy for your endless, hard work and dedication. You are brilliant!
I am always amazed at the talent and tenacity of the PumaPac….great work by all.
Thank-you

Hi Pumas

I sent the letters this morning. I also emailed General Clark. His strange remarks are pushing me closer to voting for McCain and I am wondering if that is the plan or is this just bad strategy from the Obama crowd?

This is terrorism. Period.
As Stalin the said the point of terrorism is to terrify and seeing what has happened to some pumas and the concerted effort to silence dissent, there is no doubt that this is a terrorist campaign
We need to document every action taken against pumas, and others, and bring the evidence to the federal authorities.
Clearly this a coordinated set of attacks.
The vandalism claiming to be pumas, the assaults against people and the hacking of pro Hillary-anti “o” sites are a clear pattern. If these were done by any other group they would be considered a terrorist group.
Document document document!
Create a paper trail. File with the federal authorities on every single instance. This needs to be stopped asap.
We are beyond politics here and entering into an assault on our very way of life. We are not the third world.

Good morning (PDT) to all PUMAs.

Will, I got called to task in another letter to the editor (my third). I’ll share later.

Murphy - My daily thanks to you (and your seven yr old daughter) for all that you do to defend the freedom of every voter. Keep the faith and continue to move forward with all that you do.

To All PUMAs - My daily action was to reply to the DNC’s recent request sent via e-mail to buy a T-shirt so they could raise money by the deadline last night. I replied this AM (after the deadline) saying the following: (I forgot to take my positive pill this AM)

Dear McMahon,

Thank you for your request for funding by buying a T-shirt (probably made in China). I’ll buy an American made shirt and put the following statement on it for more effect. “Not Paid for by Special Interest PACS of Washington Lobbyist that one can see. But we seek bundlers and take people’s gas money based on distorted truth and lies.” Peddle your shirt sales with accurate information on them. From a PUMA Independent in WA State
