Quote of the Day, via bmw60 in comments: “The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable–and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace– but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! ” — Patrick Henry, 1775

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Happy Independence Day !!
Wow, am I the first? Don’t know yet. I just e-mailed all the politicians and news media with the same e-mails we got yesterday with Annabel’s DECLARATION OF OBJECTIONS. Mission accomplished!
from Annabellep
http://annabellep.wordpress.com/2008/07/04/declaration-of-objections/#comment-240
When, in the course of U. S. Presidential Elections, it becomes necessary for one portion of a political party to assume among the people of the nation a position different from that which they have previously occupied, but one to which the laws of nature and of their Constitution entitle them, a decent respect for the opinions of fellow citizens requires that they should declare the causes that impel them to such a course.
In agreement with generations who have gone before us, we hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed at birth with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of those who suffer from it to refuse allegiance to it, and to insist upon the institution of a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form as to seem most likely to affect their safety and happiness.
Prudence will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for transient causes; and accordingly experience has shown that citizens are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the political structures to which they are accustomed. But political parties are not governments, and when a long train of abuses and usurpations evinces a design to reduce them under authoritarianism, it is their duty to throw off such a political party, and to provide different representation for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of many in the Democratic Party, and it is this suffering which compels them to now demand the representation to which they are entitled. The recent history of both parties is a history of repeated injuries on the part of elected officials against the electors, having in direct object the establishment of authoritarian power over them, for the purpose of profit. This has rendered the Democratic Party unrecognizable to ordinary citizens. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
Objections
The members of the Democratic National Committee’s Rules and By-Laws Committee violated The DNC charter on May 31, 2008 by meeting in private, in direct violation of the Sunshine Rules Provision of said Charter.
On that same day, the Democratic Party grossly violated ethical standards when it awarded four delegates to candidate Barack Obama based on actual votes for candidate Hillary Clinton, and in addition, awarded him delegates based on votes for “Uncommitted.”
Earlier in the campaign season, the Democratic Party violated its own Delegate Selection Rules by applying penalties to only two states who broke Section 11 calendar rules, even though five states broke those rules. In addition, Florida and Michigan were originally stripped of 100% of their delegates, even though the rules stipulated a 50% penalty.
The decisions of the RBC meeting mentioned above are evidence of sexism and authoritarianism within the ranks of the Democratic Party.
Caucuses are a violation of the one-person, one-vote and secret ballot principles that have been cornerstone Democratic values for more than a century. They produced a skewed and unfair result this primary season. Caucus states are also over-represented in the pledged delegate count, in violation of the one-person, one-vote principle.
Sexism was allowed to flourish as never before not only because of the behavior of the mainstream media, but also by the actions of many in the progressive online community, the stark silence of the Democratic Leadership and because ordinary Americans, male and female, engaged in it as long as it advanced their favored candidate.
Barack Obama and his campaign exploited racial issues in the primary campaign, which risks setting back the Civil Rights movement, and cynical Democratic leaders, as well as some ordinary Democrats, approved of this campaign tactic.
The voices of 18 million voters who supported Hillary Clinton have been illegitimately silenced, ridiculed, and subjected to outright fabrications on the part of the mainstream press and the Internet press.
The evidence is present, for anyone who wants to see it, that authoritarian tendencies fueled by greed are on the rise in the Democratic Party.
Now, in view of the dismissal of one-half the Democratic voters of this primary season, their social degradation, in view of the unjust actions above mentioned, and in view of the disenfranchisement of the voters in two states, and because we do feel ourselves aggrieved, oppressed, and fraudulently deprived of a free and fair primary election, we insist that the Democratic Party address our objections, or risk the loss of our votes come November.
In entering upon the work before us, we anticipate no small amount of misconception, misrepresentation, and ridicule; but we will use every instrumental within our power to affect our objectives. We will employ agents, circulate tracts and flyers, blog, advertise in all media, petition state and national Democratic leadership, and endeavor to enlist the press in our behalf.
Resolutions
Resolved, that the Democratic Party must seat the full Michigan and Florida delegation in adherence to the thoroughly Democratic principle of one-person, one-vote.
Resolved, that Michigan delegates must be awarded according to the actual votes cast, specifically that Hillary Clinton must be given 73 delegates and Barack Obama must be given 0 (zero).
Resolved, that Hillary Clinton’s name must be offered on the first roll call at the Democratic National Convention in Denver in August of 2008, in accordance with tradition for 16 of the last 18 Democratic National Conventions.
Resolved, that caucuses should be abolished, and the Democratic Primary system in its entirety must be reformed to better reflect the one-person, one-vote principle, as well as the equal representation principle enshrined in the Constitution.
Resolved, that millions of women and men alike no longer think of the Democratic Party as the party for women’s issues, or for equality and fairness, or for the protection of abortion rights, and will no longer vote for them based on such criteria.
Resolved, that the cynical exploitation of cultural issues will not be rewarded with votes, and that it is part of the PUMA mission to educate the electorate about such abuses.
Resolved, that the PUMA movement is comprised of traditional and loyal Democrats who have carefully watched and recorded the events of the 2008 Primary campaign season.
Resolved, that 18 million Americans voted for Hillary Clinton, more than any other presidential primary candidate in history, and they have a right to help shape the agenda and processes of the Democratic Party.
Ok#1 DANCES W/PUMAS, You beat me to it! Let’s all send those Declaration of Objections out. They are great!!
awesome Murphy….awesome

Here you go:

Just click it and the show with Darragh will begin automatically.
I am proud to be an American. The words of the Forefathers speak directly to this movement.
Good morning all. Just wanted to check in to say that I contributed $20.08 to our girl and $5.44 to rain green for McCain. ON the McCain site where it asked who referred you I put Barak Obama, Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi. That felt so good. Hope everyone has a good 4th. Take time to read the Declaration of Independence writen by our forefathers who had the bravery to stand up to the King of the most powerful country at that time.
also from annabellep
(also posts on here too?)
not only can you copy this, you are compelled to do so.
Yes, yes, please, post it everywhere, print it out, paste it, tape it, staple it, stamp it, mail it, whatever! Just get it out there. It’s vital that we petition the Convention with rational arguments.
Thanks!
#6Maxgrader-thank you.
those are her words, I hope she won’t mind me reposting them here.

MamaPUMA, do you want to fax the Declaration of Objections to the News Journal at the number I gave you?
repeat
HappY 4th , PUMAS !!!! I have been doing a lot of lurking lately , and I love how this site has grown !. I still see names from day one and that is even more exciting
They sooooo wanted us to fade away - too bad .
! Anyway , I can’t just stay home in November , but I would like to have a clear conscience when I vote , so I was looking for a little insight from people whose judgment I trust . Thanks , Cooper
Anyway , those of you who have been on here for awhile know that I refuse to support any candidate other than Sen. Clinton until after the convention . I continue to believe that she is the rightful nominee , and until an OFFICIAL nominee is seated at the convention - she , having won the majority of the votes , is (imo) the presumptive nominee …. but , I digress.. I have an honest question to throw out - Has anyone really taken an honest look at Nader’s platform ? I have not . I went to the site this morning , and didn’t have time to figure out how to navigate it … I had heard that his positions were similar to Clinton’s on many issues , but of course I have to see that for myself - if I listened to what people tell me I would be a bot
Excuse. That’s thread, not post. Sorry.

Happy Independence Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
murphy…anti and andersen and sherry and sandi are back. We ARE a strong PUMA family!
Also were talking last night….water, sunscreen, and chapstick a MUST for Denver bound people. Dehydrate real fast at this altitude! maybe some kind of umbrella or umbrella hat too for shade. don’t know what will be allowed near center yet.
Someone posted this on Greta’s site. If true, could be interesting. “LARRY SINCLAIR has a new attorney former Delaware attorney general.”
sent the declaration of objections off to the email media list… by the way… add loudobbs @cnn.com to your mailing lists… i am going to send it to the list of “politicians” too.. i donated on 7/1… too anxious i guess to use my “economic stimulus package”…LOL
How much will the buses cost? I am from PHILLY and wonder about that… would love to go… keep us updated please!!!
#17
Now I need to catch up on Murphy’s interview…….
advil as well…the higher altitude, if you aren’t used to it, can cause major headaches…been there, done that
No Texas I have not checked out his site. I can comfortably live with the idea of McCain. I’ve spent a lot of time at his website and blog. I personally feel a huge bloc has to swing towards him or bb will still take the ge. But what we’re doing here is ensuring everyone places their vote where they WANT to, not where they are TOLD too! So everybody is making their own decisions while we still have that right!
cjv if you right click on link you can open in another window. then put it in background as you listen and you can still blog
sherry come on in. water still fine
#18 Taffy on 07.04.08 at 10:43 am
murphy…anti and andersen and sherry and sandi are back. We ARE a strong PUMA family!
I am glad our good friends returned, this brings tears!!! We have to stay together and fight side by side, support each other, learn from each other! PUMA!!!!!!
I know of 3 medics , other than myself who are planning to go to Denver . Might I suggest the we set up a tent ( I have one ) in case of any medical emergencies ? Otherwise , I know we will all be carrying our supplies .
anybody seen sunnypa lately?
Happy 4th everyone …Great article; very appropriate…helps bring us all to the base for which we have joined this coalition of PUMA’s. How great for the freedom to be able to express our opinions and disgust with the current system and government in place but in turn, how sad we have to. I challenge those who read; those who are on the fence about whether there voice is even heard; those who lurk from the other side of this great debate our country is in …read what has been posted by on the front page …an excerpt from our Declaration…let it really speak; sink in; and consider where we are now ….food for thought.
Taffy , I TOTALLY agree . I just want to educate my self before I make a decision . For now , however, I have not given up on Hillary
#24 Taffy - I did just that the other night. But I am in the multitask mode right now. I carried this laptop into the room to get myself ready for the day…..good lord, I need wireless everywhere!
Just a suggestion : We should get a master list of cell phone numbers for all PUMAS and have ground coordinator or a team so that we can keep up with meet up sites etc. Some of us will be in Denver prior to others. We need a way to keep track of each other. Just a thought
On the 4th of July all the wonderful PUMAS raised their heads in UNITY towards the dark night sky. The clueless would say, “THEY’RE JUST WATCHING THE FIREWORKS”, but the PUMAS WERE FEELING THEM IN THEIR HEARTS…a tradition that runs deep within the soul of this PROUD PUMAPAC. Feelings of PRIDE, GLORY, HONOR, and the STAR SPANGLED BANNER were exploding in the sky. The PUMAS thought of the American Flag, the Founding Fathers and their fight for Freedom, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, their Civil Rights, and the Right to Vote. The DNC was WRONG not to COUNT ALL THE VOTES as they were cast by the people. Presidential candidates should be “ELECTED BY THE MANY” and not “SELECTED BY THE FEW”. It goes to the CORE PRINCIPLES of FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY the cornerstones upon which our UNION was formed. The PUMA resolve grew as they watched overhead, they knew in their hearts that America and it PRINCIPLES are worth fighting for. If doing what is right and holding the DNC accountable means putting COUNTRY BEFORE POLITICAL PARTIES, then so be it. The PUMAS put their PAWS over their hearts as a GESTURE of SOLIDARITY.
Meanwhile back at the ranch in MONTANA, the DNC presumptive candidate was being eyed by a couple of local cowboys. “Yep, he sure looks like a POST TURTLE to me.” Makes me wonder how he got up there.”
He’s got a flag pin on but I heard he’ll “JUST BE WATCHING THE FIREWORKS.”
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY PUMAS!!!
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY HILLARY!!! (DONATE 20.08)
Historical Fact:
Americans shot off fireworks to celebrate their DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE…sounds like PUMAS to me!
Texas I would be cautious about supplies. They may be confiscated. Not sure who you would contact but know at all the concerts there are always medics around. They even have them on bicycles at the baseball games roaming around. From what little is leaking out it sounds like likes of military personnel are going to be around as well as police officers from other districts lending support. Maybe on Monday check through mayor’s office and try to find who you can contact. I say mayor because most others you can only email and wait for response.
post turtle….ROFL
forgot about that
I have been reading this quote from my favorite of our heroes of the American Revolution today, just to remind myself. He must have been an early PUMA!!!!
I give you, a portion of the words of Patrick Henry.
“Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free– if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending–if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained–we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!
They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable–and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace– but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! ”
Just substitute Nobama or Dean or Pelosi or the other Mafia Mob bosses from the DNC. Just substitute Donna Brazille. WE will not shut up and sit down!!! We will not “JUST GET OVER IT”. WE WILL OVERCOME!!!!
GO PUMAS!!!!
Hillary 2008!!!

Taffy (#18)
Don’t know about dehydration in the summertime in Denver. But in the hills above at Keystone while TRYING to ski in 1994, I lost my breath and decided that was no fun. Vomitted too on my way down the slope in the tram.
People there are terrific and helpful. Got my rented Sentra stuck in the snow and a truck of people stopped to get me out.
True though. The altitude is not kind to visitors; but the people are. I even got carded at ALL the Diamond Shamrocks for wanting beer. And I was 41 at the time! (Must be the Beatle haircut I’ve had all my life that makes me look so…).
I love Denver residents.

There is a link to the JustSayNoDeal effort to Donate $20.08 for Hillary on the front page now.
Thank you to all the tireless Pumas who have kept us focused on retiring her debt.
If we need a campground, the closest to Denver is Cherry Creek- here is a link you can set up tents.
http://www.coloradodirectory.com/costateparks/cherry.html
The next closest I believe is in Lyons outside of Boulder.
Max that’s altitude sickness and many people suffer from it when they first come. Also can make you very sleepy. Sandi was wondering about diabetics last night and how it would affect them. Altitude is going to be a BIG problem for a lot of people!
#14TexasTigress…I heard on Hannity and Colmes last night that Nader may be the only candidate that truly wants to take our troops out of Iraq. Apparently BO is changing his position on Iraq too and although he promised to get our troops out in 16 months he is now saying he’ll have to reassess the situation. On the show they also said that if Nader keeps his policy of withdrawing troops he’ll probably take many votes away from BO!!!
A democratic stratagest on the show said that BO is changing from left wing liberal to centrist to win the general. He pretty much said that BO will do anything to win!! Nothing new I guess!!
HAPPY 4th PUMAs!!!

Just donated for buses and to retire debt.
Happy INDEPENDENCE Day, PUMAs!
God bless, and HELP, the United States of America.
Will check in later. Welcome back antifish, goandersen, and all. We missed you!

I lived in Boulder during the Pope visit. I was a medic at site. Denver/Boulder area will have volunteers of Paramedics, EMTS and tons of volunteers. We even had the National Guard. Lots of heat strokes, I was a volunteer for the whole week. No sleep. You need to have lots of water, no caffene, do not drink sodas, between the altitude, and the heat you will dehydrate quickly. You have to remember you will be a MILE HIGH, above sea level.
44 Taffy and maxgrader
I’m a diabetic with heart problems and the 2 times I was in Denver, my only problem was a headache and thirst.
Murphy - point of clarification please. On the home page it states that the bus will leave from Dallas. Yesterday, I think, you mentioned a bus leaving from Houston??? It is Dallas for now but if we get enough money then Dallas and Houston???
Here is a link to a campgrounds page in Denver. Sorry..don’t know any more than this.
http://www.superpages.com/yellowpages/C-Campgrounds/S-CO/T-Denver/
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TO ALL THE PUMAS
Congratulations Murphy
Well, that explains that. Thank you Taffy.
The cure to altitude sickness must be kindness. The people there made my stay a wonderful experience. And that made me feel real good real fast for I love kindness.
But, being a guy I better stop it or people will talk.
Altitude sickness should not affect unless you are there longer than a week or two. But you will get drunk very fast if you are not used to it! also the beer they sell is 6% except for the beer sold in gas stations, that beer is 3%.
clarification from post 12
I meant anyone who watches the video to please stand, I didnt mean you pumaallie lol, sorry, so anyone who watches it to please stand while the video plays, thank you

HAPPY JULY 4TH PUMAS!
Donated to Hillary and Puma Pac this morning. Had to change my gmail as it was invaded by the Evil Ones. It took me over an hour to save my contacts and re-enter into a new email account, actually two new email accounts.
Sent Annabelle’s absolutely wonderful item to 86 newspapers in New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada, Montana, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. In the Subject line I put “Why 18 Million Will Not Fall in Line”.
I hope to increase my newspaper database this weekend to cover Missouri, Iowa, and Louisiana. It will take the Obats awhile to catch up with me again.
Have a wonderful 4th and enjoy the freedom that our forefathers, fathers, brothers, husbands, and loved ones fought so hard for and that which we PUMAs must now protect.
Thank you Murphy, MarylandPuma, and all of you Pumas who have made this 4th of July very special for America!!

Happy 4th to all Pumas! I just donated 20.04 through ClintonsDems site.
This is a great day to growl our independents from a party that ignored us, turned their backs on us and selected the nominee against the will of the people.
“Hillary 08″
Make it happen!
Puma
Donated $50.00 to PUMA yesterday, and, just now, $20.08 to pay down Hillary’s debt. I sure hope it goes for that purpose and does not aid you know who in any way. I’m on a fixed income, folks; that’s the best I can do for now.
Happy Independence Day Pumas!!
I meant, I donated 20.08
#59 utahpuma–Wow, that is an amazing idea. Did you send that idea to the Action Center? Great job.
Now Max…we happy PUMAs. we doing good. Don’t want to be “sour pusses”
Bigcatlover:
I suppose each individual case is different. Like with a mind no two bodies are alike.
Unless you’re already acclimated to the weather in the migh high city newcomers will have to adjust by taking precautions. Just depends on each person’s system as to what they will be.
It’s always a good idea to be prepared. I was a boy scout and know that to be true.
heysandy..we only do what we can. I’ve called FEC and no way can DNC or bb get their hands on the money. Any primary money left over is donated to charity. Any GE money is returned unless person who gave gives permission for it to be used such as her senate re election. Somebody yesterday said they had received an email from Hillary asking if their donation could go to senate re election. They had paid the 4600 max. So our “small” donations apparently were used for primary and large donations put in GE to save financial nightmare in case she doesn’t need GE fund. I pray she does!!!!
nh4hillary….you write such great things. I hope you are collecting them. They would make a great book!
I just sent off to the email addies you provided with us—both politicians and news services this.. i DARE you to all do this too… LOL I use the word dare, because you all dare to upset the establishment and have the spirit of Patrick Henry… GO PUMA’s
I give you, a portion of the words of Patrick Henry.

Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable–and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace– but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! ”
WE will not shut up and sit down!!! We will not “JUST GET OVER IT”. WE WILL OVERCOME!!!!
GO PUMAS!!!! I am one of 18 million!!!
Hillary 2008!!!

They have something in common?
Greta: GREAT THREAD
I’m not a PUMA, I’m a McCain Republican, but I have to say if it came down to a vote between Hillary and McCain, and McCain lost, I’d feel safer having Hillary as CIC than having Obama at the helm.
The only Democrat vote I have cast in recent memory has been for Judge Seamus, PA Supreme Court. Many of our state’s republicans voted for him, that’s how he won. (this is by way of establishing my Republican creds). During the course of the Dem primary I became more and more astonished at how shabbily HRC was treated, by MSM and her own party’s leadership. I am in contact with more than a few rock rib Republicans, and I have to tell you many of them were equally shocked.
In short, I do believe the PUMA organization has a legitimate grievance.

thoughts…I’ve been thinking about why I am so passionate about this whole thing. Bear with me while I vent.
I was so pissed off at the Bush debocle (sp?), that I stopped voting. If my vote was not going to count, why bother? Well, I came out of the closet (the voting one), and voted for Hillary. I was so excited to see that we could possibly have someone in that high office, that could accomplish some good. Including voter reform, which Hillary was working to fix.
I early voted here in Texas, on day one. Weeks later, we went to attempt the caucas vote. Myself, my partner, (who early voted, with her 9 year old son actually pushing the button next to Hillary’s name)and her 11 year old son with Autism. We stood in line, after official voting was done, for over an hour. After they finally figured out what they needed to do, they starting filing us inside. Signing forms, ok, pads of paper, then we had to wait. For everyone to get signed in before we could start the process. Ok, now mind you, its now after 8:30 pm and we have two kids taking TAKS tests in the morning. We gave up, after a while, and left. The kids needed good nights rest for the test and we’ve just had them standing in line for over 3 hours total, at this point. As we left, we passed a line of people, still needing to sign in, that was over 200 more people long! So in effect, a lot of us, gave up, for one reason or another. So yes, Hillary had the popular vote in this state. And BO had the caucus vote. Who knows what the caucus vote would have been, if everyone could have been a part of it.
So now, I’m feeling again, my vote didn’t count. Just like 8 years ago. 8 years ago, my sister-in-law was a huge follower of the NoBushZone coalition. And I thought she was whacked. She went to the debates, she drove to DC to march…3 times. I thought she was whacked. She was so passionate about voter reform, and getting Bush impeached. OMG, I thought she was whacked.
Well, now I’m trying to talk my partner into letting me go to Denver. I have bumpers on my car, I plan to have more. I’m sending letters to my neighbors, emails to delegates, senators, etc, jumpin on this blog every chance I get. I must be whacked! I am whacked. No, I’m just finally tired of the system that doesn’t seem to work for the people. My ancestors led Washington into Trenton, on the night the Hessians were defeated. They fought in the Revolutionary war, they helped house, feed and gave medical attention to those in need during the war. The war that gave me the freedom I now enjoy. The freedom I was willing to fight and die for years ago, while I was in the military. The freedom, I hope the boys in my care will be able to enjoy and be proud of. The freedom to feel my vote counts.
I don’t feel that way right now. I’m not proud of my leaders. I’m not proud of how they act, acted and continue to act, while representing me.
I am proud to be a PUMA. I am very proud to be in this fight with the rest of you PUMAs.
Donated to PumaPac with no problem (love Paypal) Tried to donate to Hillary but the security code is worn off card..:: sigh::.. but I did send an email explaining what I wanted. I’ve done phone orders with credit cards and you really don’t need the code in order to process it. Hope it goes thru okay!
Happy Fourth of July!….

Welcome back anitfish and goanderson!!
You made me laugh last night! 
What a great day today is! We are free to retire Hillary’s debt and as PUMAS… “HILLARY IN 2008!” Denver will never be the same!
Any word out of Bill Clinton lately?
Happy Independence Day PUMA! donated to the bus fund– now MOVE THAT BUS to denver
— I am off to retire Hillary’s debt now too….Have a wonderful safe holiday. Our Forefathers would be proud for what we’re fighting for what I believe is protecting the interest of democracy for every American. Let’s be steadfast in our original goals.
WELCOME ALL NEW PUMAS!
@74 I know I wish she would take Paypal would be so much simpler- -There is a paypal plug in though that you can download on Paypal, so you can use it on any site- It will pull up a secure card for you to use on the site, and it should work w/ your card, if you originally gave Paypal the security code. hth
Not sure if this is a repeat but wanted to post it, it appears that Barry gets cranky when he has to “clarify” his position to voters. I guess he thinks everyone is just going to vote for him because he is the “chosen one”.

Morning Pumas, it’s really hard to keep up with all that is going on, so much lol. Happy 4th to all, and I’m so glad to see all that is going on. We’re going to Denver damn. Donated my $20.08 to Hillary, I haven’t done the last action that was emailed yet but I will. Murphy GREAT JOB. Hopefully I will have some new members signing up from NJ and AZ. Woo hoo keep up the good work everyone.
Below is an excerpt from an article that #92 bmw60 posted last night on the Devner Overnight thread that should be an incentive to donate to retire HRC’s debt:
(http://www.freepowerboards.com/PUMACalltoAction/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2)
‘However, Obama has no intention of pushing for a quick retirement of Clinton’s $20 million debt. He know that the PUMA community is still donating to the Clinton campaign and the sooner that debt is retired, the sooner their donations will flow to John McCain. Obama is banking on the fact that Clinton’s debt will not be retired before the conventions, thus limiting contributions to the McCain campaign by Puma’s and the spending of contributions by McCain who is taking public financing.’
Finally got Hillary’s debt, buses to Denver, and McCain’s contribution. Sure feels liberating!!!
#73… have you sent your experiences to someone? SEND THEM TO MURPHY!!! IT IS A MUST!!! THIS MUST BE RECOGNIZED!!!
PUMA Allie, I do post here and I am proud to have you quote me. Thank you for helping get the message out.
I’ve already given my $20.08 and I made the decision today that I WILL get to that Convention, come hell of high water.
It’s a great day to be a PUMA.
MO’s makeover sure must be taking a long time. But guess there was a lot to do! MEOW! Seriously..has anybody seen her since the view?
#73 DawnE. I hear you with the Texas caucus situation. I also did the early voting thing. Unfortunately I was teaching a class on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at a local community college. I had asked permission to cancel class on that Tuesday night or have a substitute so that I could attend the caucus. Of course I was told no. Less than 1/4 of my class showed up that evening as they all went to their caucus locations. Most of my students were AA. I felt totally helpless. This caucus thing is a total sham as it excludes too many people from participating. I am still so annoyed that I was prevented from casting my full vote. So while those people in Floriday feel that they are only 1/2 a person. I feel that I am only 2/3 a person since that is all my vote was worth. If it is the last thing on the face of this earth I do, I’ll make sure that in the future my vote is FULLY counted.
Dawn definitely send to murphy. can’t remember who but someone is collecting all the experiences from Texas for a court case if I remember correctly. darn senior moments
I’ll be going to McVote in the fall since the DNC says I can’t have it my way! I’ll show them! Go Hillary! I hope my $20.08 helps give you INDEPENDENCE!!!!
Good Morning Pumas and Happy 4th!!!
Murphy- I just listened to your interview on the radio from yesterday and it was great. You covered so many issues and made us all proud. Thank you.
Muchado send yours to murphy too
((((((((sherry)))))))) welcome the water is still fine. We watch out for you til you swimming with us again!
#32 prplvette85 on 07.04.08 at 10:56 am, WROTE,
[[ Just a suggestion : We should get a master list of cell phone numbers for all PUMAS and have ground coordinator or a team so that we can keep up with meet up sites etc. Some of us will be in Denver prior to others. We need a way to keep track of each other. Just a thought]]
I can’t go but the above is a good thought. Maybe you folks can *assign* one know-it-all coordinator and place that person’s cellphone number on EVERYONE’s LIST. Then, perhaps you could break up into smaller cell phone CELLS (like al queda), groups of 5 each… and each responsive to the leader/coordinator.
#65 Hillgirl
I am guessing you are referring to my newspaper database. Since I was originally the only Utahn on here, I believe there is another now, anyway, I started a database of newspapers based on the cnn electoral map–with the hopes of waking up the KoolAid addicts. I have been using it since the beginning of this site.
So now I just have to push a button, copy and paste and send. Works like a charm.
Back to making potato salad!!!
Taffy Thank you fellow PUMA!
Good idea.
Re #82, Big Cat Lover on Obama not wanting to help with Hillary’s debt - yes, an incentive to give to her ourselves (which I have), but also an incentive for McCain supporters to actively help their candidate. We shouldn’t assume he will easily beat Obama. HAPPY FOURTH!
I’ve sent my $20.08 to help pay down Hill’s debt and it feels so gooood—Happy Independence Day Hillary! As soon as I can a check will be in the mail towards the buses to Denver.
Happy 4th of July!

Thanks for the quote! I added it as Quote of the Day.
This morning, I received an e-mail/newsletter from the Obama campaign. I did not subscribe to this newsletter; therefore, I unsubscribed and gave as my reason that “I will not support Obama.” They are persistent as h*#$. This followed a call I received several days ago from the DNC. Desperation which borders on harassment!
#73 DawnE- Touching post. I too am in Texas and had similar problems.
Good Morning PUMA’s… I won’t be here much today, just wanted to check in and read the posts before we went out to celebrate!
my thought this morning was as follows…..errr uhm ya well errr ummm… (backstage at an Obama rally)…. Harold: OMG Tony speed up the teleprompter if Obama starts adlibbing again Axelrod will have our asses!
Tony: I wish we’d have joined that Hillary campaign, never had to worry about a teleprompter with her.
Harold: Ya well The DNC bosses stuck us here so type faster

Puma Denver email sent to list + more
thanks for the email
Getting ready to send to McCain. Did my donate to Hillary yesterday.
Kentucky person for Hillary
Happy Independence Day to all of you patriots!
I am a little confused about the e-mail I received from Murphy, i.e. what letter do I cut and past and send to her list? Also, I’d like to go to the convention, but don’t know where everyone is staying. Can someone fill me in?
I want to go to the convention. I just shared this site with a good friend and my sister. My best friend is signing up-my lil sis who is only 18 cried a bit at watching the video because this was the first time she voted and it didn’t matter. She feels as if the Democratic Party Leaders are sexist and this is the opposite message she recieved in Highschool.
Way to go DNC. You really flugged up. The repercussions have yet to be fully seen. Their childrens children better not hope for a spot in Washington because these young voters will not forget and will finish carrying the torch of PUMA JUSTICE long after its original members expire.
I will be donating $20.08 today to help Hillary retire her debt. I will also donate at least $10 to the PUMA PAC’S mission to send buses to DENVER! That will be my vacation this year. I believe well worth it!
Pumas-? for you all. How close are we to getting to $0.00 on her debt? And, if she does reach that goal, do you think that she will fight at the Convention? Do you think that they have fully succeeded in silencing her? I listened to her speech and she said that as long as we kept fighting for her that she would fight for us-well-we pumas are fighting-does she know that?
Can someone reply?
Thanks
PA
Are there any other PUMAS that would like to camp? I have tons of camping gear (thanks to my ex!) I can call and reserve some spaces for us.
Murphy can there be a bus that would take us back and forth from the campground?
Okay - I have now donated my $5.44 to McCain, my $20.08 to retire Hillary’s debt, and made a donation to the bus fund . A good 24 hour feeling.

I agree stella49-if we go to Dener - PUMAS should be all together as much as possible. Strength in numbers
A new blog is up http://www.free-us-now.com/ and she is asking for hits!
Oh fantastic! SO far I have 9 clicks to Hillary’s contribution page on my blog. Hopefully that’s nine more people that donated at least $20.08!
#105 &106- People are donating to pay for buses to help with some of the transportation. Some pumas are driving or flying on their own. Maybe some of the pumas can share their hotel rooms and split the cost, or know of someone that has a room in their house. Camping is a great idea if someone can post where to reserve a spot. Marylandpuma is a good person for organizing and may be able to help teaming people together.
NomoreinFL,
I am working on arranging something with a friend, but if that fails, I am absolutely interested in camping. I have gear too. And I camping experience. My e-mail is peacocksandlilies AT gmail DOT com.
mcr…i always hit the reply button and send a “nice” reply. I don’t get many emails anymore and nothing in the mail. All my fun going away
And nothing EVER from bb. (my new nicknme for “him” big britches 
)
#100 mcr, I got the same thing this morning in my e-mail and did the same as you and added the comment
“I will NOT vote for Obama”
Just donated 20.08 to Clinton website
$20.08 donation complete. Happy Independence Day all PUMAs!
Annabelle. I put a link up above at #53 for a campground page. Don’t know anything more about it as I don’t camp but may give you a start
I listened to some of both radio broadcasts from last night and the night before- And I find it interesting how much more articulate PUMAs ( a diverse group in education, class, circumstances etc) compared to the Obamabots who spew “He’s Da Man” and other meaningless stuff when interviewed- Of course why is this surprising seeing the empty slogans and promises Obama camp runs on?….good job Murphy and all PUMAs - -
@73 that is outrageous you had to experience that
Today we celebrate Independence Day. These self evident truths have been at the very core of the foundation of the USA. T
These truths are also the basis of this movement. ‘We have declared our independence from the DNC and party hypocrisy that slammed the doors of the institution in front of Hillary’s nose in favor of a self declared and delusional false liberator.
We are free from the bondage of party ties. Free to follow our conscience to support and care for our candidate and help her rise from the ashes where they tried to bury her because she truly cares about people and the fate of this nation. She is sincere and BHO is deceptive and unworthy of our trust.
He will lie and do everything to win. He stepped on Hillary and will step on anything that gets in his way. He is a presumptive selected nominee. But it isn’t over yet. God almighty has the last word.
I made my donation. I hope PUMAs all over the States are able to set her free, today.
Murphy, I listened to the first 30 minutes of last night’s online interview. Thank you so much for addressing the accusations that are coming out of those who are running scared from the PUMA PAC(k).
You did an excellent job.
morning anti…..sherry is here but she’s lurking again
–am now listening to your radio interview, Murphy. Great job. (http://www.blogtalkradio.com/NO-WE-WONT/)

“His two statements in Fargo, N.D., reflected how the changing dynamics in Iraq have posed a challenge for Mr. Obama, who is trying to retain flexibility as violence declines there without abandoning a central promise of his campaign: that if elected, he would end the war.”

See post #43 for campground link closest to Denver convention
#94 Utahpuma,
Great idea. I love it!
Okay, I’m wondering if there can be a better coordination regarding the trip to Denver (?). I want to go, but need to know where everyone is staying. Also, camping could be fun, but will the campground have showers, toilets, etc? I would hate to go two or three days without a shower.
Can anyone address these concerns? Thanks.
#824 StarDust
You forget, Obama’s supporters are largely college-educated, while Hillary’s supporters are not. Hence the glaring disparity in the quality of our posts.
My sarcasm is showing this morning.
I just e-mailed all the politicians and news media with the e-mails about PUMAs going to Denver we got yesterday
Also just e-mailed the same politicians and news media with Annabel’s DECLARATION OF OBJECTIONS.
Mission accomplished!
#125 Taffy- Good Morning. Actually I have been emailing Marylandpuma with some ideas to coordinate the Denver protest. The info is so spread out and when new pumas come in that want to go it is hard to get all the info for them. Any ideas?
This maybe the best $25.52 I’ve ever spent. $20.08 for Hillary and $5.44 for McCain. I also put on the McCain page I was referred by B. Obama and the DNC. It’s going to be a great 4th!
It took me a few minutes to figure out the $5.44 was from this:
http://www.giveemhill.com/GreenRainForMcCain.asp
It’s a great idea
1 voice nobody except hillary (and probably Bill, Chelsea, and her mother) really know Hillary’s plans. Interesting that bb hasn’t been parading her like he said he would. Hmmmm
Hey PUMAS! I wanted to share this video that someone made for Hillary. I know you’ll love it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESUj1PNyQbU
#130 Stella49- I’m trying to get some answers for you.
#125 Taffy:
Thanks for the effort. Really, if this is going to be successful, there’s needs to be more prep. work regarding where to stay, meet, etc.
I’ve said from the moment “the annointed one” was shoved into his current (hopefully temporary) position, that we needed to stage a modern day Boston Tea Party. I immediately sent an email out to my contacts list stating such - suggesting we all take action to ensure our country is safe from his brand of politics. At the time I didn’t know what to do… it just had to be done. Thanks for being a major catalyst in bringing this plan of action all together. Imagine how the the history texts will read 20 or 30 years from now. Our children’s children will be able to say, “I know someone who was there!”
Our founding fathers were brilliant in penning these words that were not only applicable then, but were destined to transcend time and events to shine a guiding light for the preservation of this great democracy. THANKS for posting them today!

When I click on mrphy@pumapac.org, my mail is returned. Anyone know why?
sherry. i think we need another link under the actionpac. everything everybody needs to know about buses, where to stay, what to bring, etc. I also got to thinking people might want a small folding chair/stool. Standing for hours is exhausting and if they are like me sitting on the ground and trying to get up again ain’t like it used to be
Glad you back with the pack!

The Denver group has been posting accommodation suggestions (with links) on their site.
There are campgrounds with rental cabins and rental RVs, sleeping anywhere from 2 to 6 people.
I’d like to get to Denver early and volunteer with … whatever. So I’m hoping the Denver group will post volunteering opportunities.
Bottom line though, as long as we have a basic schedule of where and when to congregate, I’m good.
Oh……thanks.
Great Comment (excerpted below) on “The Fix,” Chris Cillizza
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/thefix/2008/07/who_won_the_week.html#comments
Well.. we got a ground pounder CLARK jumping all over the Flyboy McCain. Clark with all due respect… DID NOT SPEND time in a PRISON camp.. Typical GENERAL Officer comments about leadership and etc, from a Brilliant West Pointer.
King Obama continues to show his true leanings on key issues and that he is the typical politician wanting only to be PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES no matter what it takes, what he has to say or how much he has to SPEND for each American Vote.
It appears we can expect more of the same in Washington instead of the ‘change’ he continues to advocate in his preachings.
As we learn more about his ‘Chicago Style’ of politics… perhaps we will dream of a Powell for President or even Edwards.
The real loser this week continues to be
the American People. We continue to lose at the gas pump, at the grocery store, and on the home front.. Because our politicians continue to march to their own drummer.
Forget the Constitution, forget the taxpayer, forget Truth, Justice and the American Way. Just remember… we are elected to this job and we are accountable to NO ONE.. just our party and our re-election campaigns.
This just in!!!
OBAMA WANTS TO APPEAR AT THE MILE HIGH STADIUM (BRONCOS) IN DENVER, RATHER THAN CONVENTION CENTER.

HIS EGO IS SO BIG, HE NEEDS AN EXTRA 50,000 SEATS.
THIS IS CLEARLY A WAY TO AVOID PUMAS AND HILLARY PROTESTERS. I AM SURE THAT WITH 50,000 EXTRA SEATS, NONE OF US WILL BE ADMITTED.
Here, click this: murphy@pumapac.org
Do you think it is wise to notify media ahead of time of our plans? I’m just saying the best defense is a great offense. You don’t realize that they could sabotage us as far as lodging, permits, police presence etc. I think we should plan between ourselves, put the plan into action, then notify press etc. They will just be waiting to throw us in that cage. Got to act like a PUMA and strike when they least expect.
firebelle welcome and happy 4th!

thanks!
p.s. light posting today as I will be reintroducing myself to my family a bit today and tomorrow.

Just another idea for staying in Denver. I used to work for a university in Alaska years ago, and during the summer many of the universities or colleges with empty dorm rooms, will rent their rooms out really cheap, they use to be about $25 a night for two, with fridge, microwave, bath and two beds.
DENVER UPDATE POSTED AT THE TOP OF THE POST.
PLEASE READ AND RETURN HERE!
MP — checking now!
#59 Utah Puma Wow! I’m impressed. Something to motivate all of us to do the same.
Just donated againg to Hillary’s campaign, this time to retire her debt. Love and respect you Hillary.!!!
Mile high would be better, we could blend in then strike! they couldnt cage us up! More room for us to roam lol
I got an email from the Obama campaign. I don’t know where they got my address from, but no matter; I replied to unsubscribe and told them I cannot, in good conscience, support an unready candidate or the party who ran out the more qualified candidate. I’ve gotten some paper mailings from them and the DNC, too, asking for contributions. To each one I replied with a photograph of my hand holding my voter’s registration form indicating “No Party”, and I wrote the same message on the back of the photo that I sent to the the Obama campaign this morning. I also include the URL of this blog, in case there are disaffected Democrats working the campaign who don’t know where to go and think they have no other options but to “fall in line”.
I donated to Hillary’s debt just now and to the bus to Denver fund last night. The radio interview was great. I find the fact that BOites are trying to sift through Murphy’s life to, I guess, prove she is not pure enough very creepy. So what if she gave money to McCain do you all remember McCain was seriously considered as a VP for Kerry? What is this DNC need for purity as defined by Obamaites when their own behavior is so sexist, power grabbing and hate filled. Personally In this election cycle I would rather be called Republican than DNC affiliated. In reality I consider myself a Independent who 75% of the time votes Democrat.
Thanks for the reply taffy. I am holding out hope that she will stand up and shock everyone that day!
There are some people that are saying that she will be our next President and have NO doubts about it. No matter what happens-history will eventually tell the truth about the corruption in our Democratic Party.
I am sooooo proud of everyone that is standing up for what they believe! I am usually the outcast for doing that-this is great. Feels good to have company!
our busses could just roll up to the front, like we came to see the annointed one lol….Think like a cat lol
******* On the DENVER TRIP ************
We are in the beginning planning stages. We will provide bus transportation from select major transportation hubs across the US. At this point, accomodations and transportation to the bus pickup point is the responsibility of the individual PUMAs.
All other details are in the works. We must assess fundraising efforts in order to assess what we can do.
So………DONATE!
Details will be released to all PUMA members via email.
REMEMBER, THIS IS A PUBLIC FORUM.
PLEASE DO NOT discuss details on the blog - for obvious reasons. Use private IMs, Chats, or email to discuss amongst yourselves any details.
Any questions or suggestions - please contact me via email. You should know the edress by now. LOL

Wonder if Fred can get some confetti made up with Hillary on it?
#142 Taffy- I agree with you on the link to the action center. Marylandpuma is working with Murphy on the buses but the rest is up to the individuals. Maybe someone will volunteer to organize info on the other things needed so that they can give the info to Murphy to post at the action center? Organizing is not my strong points so I am not a good choice.
John McCain campaign is buzzing with donations from Hillary supporters come on folks lets give the DNC something to talk about..donate $5.44 or more just include .44 at the end don’t tell us we are FALLING in line

SBwa-This guy is past obnoxious! Yes of course that’s what his plans are. He is always 2 steps ahead. We have to figure out a way to coordinate and suprise them because they will always find a way to respond to keeping us quiet otherwise.
maybe, if someone gets a room, put out an email if you want roomies to help split costs and everyone go from there?

please email me a new addy for the GROWL. I removed your corrupt email from the list.
#164 continued… Forget the action center idea for details on Denver trip per Marylandpuma due to this being an open forum. I think we still need organizer but info must be exchanged through emails and ims.

I, like so many of you, will be very busy today but I wanted to ask a question and I will check back later tonight to see if someone can answer.
In light of the fact that Hillary has removed *61 from her website and in light of the fact that we are doing everything we can to pay down her debt - how do you interpret this hint from her 60th birthday party?
Quoting from the clintondems website:
“A roar of applause greeted the Clintons as they entered the venerable theater to the strains of The Who’s “I’m Free.”
Can someone find the words to this song? I don’t think it’s mere happenstance that they chose to play it!
Following the post about Hillary’s birthday party and the celebrities in attendance is a poll about who should be Hillary’s third party spokesperson to get behind her and push for her nomination at the convention. I say BILL, obviously! Let’s let him know how much we appreciate him and support them both!
Grrowl PUMA PAC!
