Phewf. What a week! 50,000 or more letters sent to public officials. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of phone calls to the RBC and others. Letters to the Editor published across the land. The debut of our radio show broke records for numbers listening. Filming began on the Puma PAC documentary. Local actions organized around the land by mamapuma and her tireless team of regional moderators. Trish and the Crackest Team of Puma PAC Investigators developing THE most comprehensive database of contact information imaginable. MP helping dozens of new members start blogging and keeping our forums civilized and focused at ALL hours (well maybe not ALL hours!). A lonely vigil on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. A shameful letter from DNC officials. Some fair and balanced reporting from Tom Abrahams, and unabated hate and harrasment flowing from the Obama Movement.
On a personal note, I met my hero Riverdaughter and was more impressed than ever. I was sad to see our friend and Action Center originator PA4Hill move on. She’ll be missed. I was also sad to learn that MP ran into some personal static as a result of politics and the politics of posting.
We’ve accomplished so much everyone, and you know what I say — Tomorrow is another day!
I don’t know about you Folks, but I’m ready to KEEP IT UP. . .

Do I need to do something.
I only have X in box when picture won’t load. Tried to refresh, no go.

Mine is the same way!!
#8 MsBinMD.
x for me too.
good evening everyone! what’s the current topic of discussion?
#8 MsBinMD, Same here.
***** DRUMROLL PLEASE *********
And try not to be too disappointed - has nothing to do with Hillary’s debt.
Mad Logic and I tag teamed a new poster:
Have a look see:
http://blog.pumapac.org/puma-pac-action-center/puma-pac-flyers/
Maybe its supposed to be blank so we can use it write more letters on? (kidding)
MURPHY - got interrupted from my post by the telephone so I did not complete my thoughts - I would be happy to have you as my grand daughter - at your young age - you have already accomplished more than a dozen of people my age - so proud that I have had the opportunity to be a part of our mutual goals. I support you 1000-% - you are a gift to this country.
I so wanted Hillary as President - once you get to this age - you have one foot already in the grave and the other one on a banana peel - LOL - just a comment - not a warning - who knows what four years will bring to any of us - we have to enjoy and love what we do on a daily basis - and I love working for democracy.
#11 queen81
they’re talking about their x’s LOL
I have one too,
do you?
13 Maryland PUMA
ummm… your poster link takes us to squirrel mail
My 18 year old son was a huge Hillary fan. He is now a self professed McCainiac!
Murphy fell asleep at the keys.

I had to go sign up a Squirrelmail to see the posters, is there another way?
Squirrel hey?
#884 Kerri
OK how do I play in the chat room?
Ok I’m dying here
ROFLMAO
I dunno - Murphy?
Is this a prank?
See, we share everything!!
Have a good night all.
Been a long day and I am going to prepare for tomorrow and watch” Army Wives”.
GO PUMAs!!
This is where the crowd doesn’t laugh at the joke. LOL
Oh, my aching tummy. And a stuffy nose to boot!
ROFLMAO
Here’s the link to the new PumaPac chat room. It’s open 24/7 and allows for private IM between members as well as can be enforced. (IE, trolls can be tossed out)
Please, when you come, click on your name and change it to your PUmaPac name to avoid being thrown out as a troll.
bruce-
heaven help us all if i start talking about my x’s…not enough time in the world!
There’s supposed to be two posters there.
ROFLMAO
Soorrry - off topic but Trish cracked me up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4l82b3RQALg
We should send this to Kerry and Richardson! But what’s the use, they wouldn’t undestand.
22 bigcatlover
isn’t this a chat room that we’re on now?
BRUCE55555
A chatroom is like an Instant Message window with multiple user communicating in real time.
I sent this to Maryland, it’s why she laughed lol. I’ll share the joke
“lol ok I’m laughing because the squirrel is really cute, you trying to say Bo is nuts?”
31 DancesWithPumas
cool, thanks, shows how much I know, I’ll check it out.
Communicating in real time, that must be fast!
Ah well, you want the poster, email me until Murphy works out the , uh,
nuts from the shells.
:: giggle ::
What’s with the squirrel mail thing and how do we get access?
kerri - where’s the link? Also, never been in a chat room - hope I’m better at that than I am at cutting and pasting!

and to top it off, Maryland Puma, don’t know what RFLMAO means! I’m hopeless….maybe I am middle-aged and bitter - although if you met me, you wouldn’t think so!
pumas just come from the HCSFJM site and they got new info about Obamas Birth Certificate, heres the link
http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/
they got word from a fraud expert on certificates, and he claims that it is a forgery
joanna0902, wow, what a video! Let’s forget Richardson and Kerry for a minute and ask ourselves what the HELL happened to those thousands of people cheering for Senator Clinton. Our country has gone completely and utterly NUTS!
joanna- i watched the video and it made me sad..There is soooo much more to this story. They all just turned their backs even tho she won their states. I may never vote for a dem again.

#38 Lorelai on 07.20.08 at 10:42 pm and to top it off, Maryland Puma, don’t know what RFLMAO
***************************
Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off!
What ever happened to web page that has the PUMA PAC logo and the flag and spiffy looking layout?
am I missing something?
Maryland, my e-mail is gartre@juno.com
Lorelai, I know how you feel about copy and paste, after a solid month trying I finally got it right and did the daily growl. Now tomorrow is another day and I will probably try and fail more times than I can count. Good Luck seems we both need it. Also i don’t know what ralmao means either.
Joanna0902 - Now that I know what ROFLMAO is, I’m not, because I just watched your video and it moved me to tears….
this is truly the Bizaarro world when you watch that video and see what has happened - These people are all major league frauds. And to think how upset I was when Kerry lost….(although he would have been better than Bush, I guess, but character for me now, is everything!)
Thanks for the tutorial Middle-aged female! It will help all of us who need Senior Tech! (or middle-aged tech, as the case may be)
gee! #42 dances with Pumas, thnaks for educating us.
I’ve just learned what the LOL, ROFL and BRB, etc. was all about!
When I joined the PUMA PAC, it was the first time ever that I’ve participated in blogging.
Now I’m getting to be a blogy savy!

bellecat, cool!
My first blog experience was at Riverdaughter’s Confluence for a day or two of lurking, and then I came over here.
But I had spent a good amount of time in chatrooms in the early 90s, and in the one associated with my website (not PUMA related), but still, the blog thing came with a learning curve..
#50 DancesWithPumas,
groovy!!!
and after showing my ignorance not knowing what a chat room is, I’m glad someone else asked this one!
Dances with Pumas - thanks so much!
Lorelai and Bellecat, I am there with you guys, I also am new to blogging, I can do this but all the other stuff is driving me mad!

We loved the site too, but let’s not discuss it here. Believe me, it will stir up the pot again.
Maryland Puma or Murphy - can you take off my email address that inadvertently got posted up above on 51…? don’t want any trolls to get me….thanks…

The registration isn’t too bad: it asks a lot of questions, but then the post goes right up.
This is an article well worth commenting on. It’s a popular magazine/site, a place to reach people outside our choir. The subject is very accessible and popular.

which stuff?
lorelai — done.
Anne Lewis is on FOX saying how great Obama is doing on his trip…When did she cross over?
Hi fellow Pumas, Murphy mentioned sadly PA4Hill has moved on….has something happened and she’s no longer a PUMA? If I remember correctly, wasn’t PA4Hill known as Undecided But Leaning on Hillary’s site who posted there on a regular basis? Also, another regular from Hillary’s site was PatFlorida who worked REALLY HARD to get those votes in Florida counted! Anyone heard from Pat again?
#32 TrishfromCanada
Email -please get back to me
Bruce Belle and everyone…
there is no shame in asking… that’s one of the ways we expand our minds and body of knowledge.
Many of us didn’t grow up with computers, or just weren’t that interested in them… but this isnt restricted to the Internet and computers, it speaks to everything. One way to guarantee ignorance is by not asking questions. We’ve all been there and will be again.
#60 Dances, Everything I am completely computer illiterate, I know where the power button is and the puma site. I literally bought a computer to join pumapac, I am a staunch Hillary suppoter and it was worth every penny.
Thanks Murphy - much appreciated……
62 kai
It’s been discussed… search old blogs. We’ve agreed to leave it where it there.
Anyone else get an email from a Ted Melson regarding the Hillary’s debt and claiming Will Bower is a liar?
Not going to respond to him, but did read the article linked in the email. It claims 2.5 million was paid on Hillary’s debt in June. Also, there is 23 million in her general election fund she would like to use for 2012- the (senate) race.
Not sure how this make Will Bower a liar. Interesting. I do know a number of Hillary’s big donors also maxed on her general election fund.
michelle
Excellent! Good for you!! I admire you for doing that!
Just ask if you need to know something… someone here will know or get the answer for you.
WE GOT SKILLZ
michelle 47 — very impressive. you’ll be a hacker before you know it.
actually, maybe then you can give me some uploading tips so MP and Trish and Dances will stop LAUGHING at me.
:-p
joannne thanks for that youtube vid ..the toughest lady in the world , and still is a winner in my mind.
its very sad.
them fraudsters stole it from her the DNC and the democratic party,I hope hillary will go independent,and get this country moving we are at a standstill and no leaders nodda,just crooked people who should not be elected
,ever to office again [pelosi ,kerry,BR,TK,reid dean, BO,all of them .we are getting deeper and deeper in debt ,the poor are way pooer,the middle class went to poor the uppermiddle class went to rightunder middleclass,we have no Congress nothing we need leaders who tell the truth,we need someone strong ,some one intelligent and it sure isnt any one except Hillary the woman is smart smarter than Bill,we would be on our way to get things done,and there is a chance i think she will take it and them superdelgates need to look at this flip floppper man named BHO.This man LIES LIES .Like Hillary says take this COUNTRY Back to US<She won the Popular vote they cannot make up the rules as they go along .I hope they go broke the DNC.Keep up the great work PUMA.
18++* million will not vote BHO
Dances, the really sad truth is that I am only 38, And I don’t live under a rock. Sheesh i really should know this computer business.

He’s probabaly looking at the numbers for June. Our major campaign to pay down Senator Clinton;s debt was in July. August will show more accurate results re: our campaign.
#70 Murphy
“michelle 47 — very impressive. you’ll be a hacker before you know it”
Now that I laughed at!
I think Ann Lewis being on FOX defending Barack tells me that Hillary will be letting her delegates go. I hope I’m wrong
oops! please take mine off too!
Murphy, Trust me if I learn some hacking skills I will be hacking the Hell out of proObama sites, I live for that day.
71 michelle47
You learn it as you need it. Don’t beat yourself over it, please.
I did not know that all the candidates had to release their campaing fundraising numbers today before midnight. As usual, McCain and Hillary did it, but they are still waiting on Obama.
Thought I’d paste the numbers here for you. They were reported by AP just an hour ago.
Details of June presidential fundraising
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton
Total receipts to date: $242.7 million, including $23.4 million for general election
Total contributions to date: $212 million.
Total spending: $216.6 million.
June 2008 contributions: $2.7 million, including $105,000 for the general election.
June 2008 spending: $5.2 million
June 2008 loans: $1 million personal loan.
Cash on hand: $2.7 million for the primary and $23.4 million for the general election
Debt: $25.2 million, including $13.2 million in personal loans to her campaign.
Watching that video have strengthened my resolve NEVER to support DNC again. When they’ve railroaded Hillary, they have done it to me.

ACTION QUESTION
Who is in charge of superdelegate research?
I have a spreadsheet listing all the uncommitted SDs, with as much contact info and other details as I could dig up over days of research. I made the list last month and updated it a couple of weeks ago. Now that we’re rebuilding the Action Center, I hope this can be of use. Let me know and I’ll e-mail it to you. Or e-mail me:
margenau08@gmail.com
74 rt4hill
why would you say that?
#66 Alohapuma
I did too, with a nasty message in the opening email to the article.
rtr4hill - Didn’t hear that - Gosh, I hope you are majorly wrong on that one…Met Ann Lewis when she was here for Ohio primary…..never thought she’d defend BO….
what did she say?
Dances computers may not be my forte, but I will be in Denver for the convention and I can and will kick some serious a$$ with a megaphone.
I just thought that ann lewis was a STRONG Hillary supporter and I don’t see why she would be on FOX defending Nobama if Hillary had any idea of staying in this race. She was the last one i would expect to see doing that
She is still on…They were talking about Nobamas trip earlier and she said he’s doing a good job and blah blah blah
Lorelai, I live in Toledo, if you don’t mind my asking where in Ohio are you?
rtr4Hill - she is a strong Hillary supporter and was the advisor to campaign - you may be right - but then again, there are strategies that we don’t know about going on behind the scenes…..I’m telling you, that’s why I don’t watch the news anymore - it makes me meshugina! (yiddush for crazy!)….
(I may not know computer language, but know my Yiddush from my grandparents! lol!)
“When they’ve railroaded Hillary, they have done it to me.”
And they’ve reinforced a message reagrding women…
NEVER ALLOW THEM WIN! IT’S OKAY TO TAKE THE INFERIOR MALE OVER THE SUPERIOR WOMAN! DON’T LET BRILLIANT WOMEN “EMASCULATE” US. PROTECT YOUR PEE-PEE AT ALL COSTS.
#70 murphy
awwwwwwwwww Murphy we were laughing with you … hehe snicker! lol now see you have me laughing all over again
Of course if you don’t want to listen to Ann you can always listen to Beckel…I am beginning to be ashamed I ever called myself a democrat
89 Dances
RFLMAO!!!
omg that kitten on top looks just like my peepers, except Peepers is bigger and only has one tooth and no tail but awww i love that picture.
Thank you for posting it Murphy
Thanks DancesWithPumas for the reply. I usually get on late at night when the 4 kids are in bed to read the Puma blogs and I must have missed that one. I rarely post but I try to read as much as I can because this is where I get my news since I don’t watch the bias MSM anymore. Murphy’s words about PA4Hill just got my attention that’s all. Will let it be.
Okay, I need someting constructive to do.
#63 StarDust
I sent you back an e-mail, you’re doing great with it
Murphy, and/or whoever else is involved in the PUMA documentary … did you enlist the services of the video genius Flineo, best known from YouTube? (I don’t know if Flineo is an individual or an agency). As you know, Flineo produces some GREAT stuff!
Lorelai I think she also worked in the White House for the Clintons. I just think it’s fishy that she would be on Fox defending Obama when we haven’t had the convention yet. Jesus who’s left but us.
Friends, please don’t panic about what Hillary, Bill, or any of their supporters are doing. They have to play the unity game now for two reasons.
One, Hillary needs cooperation from other lawmakers if she’s going to be successful in fighting for us with healthcare and other causes she champions.
Two, if good fortune smiles on us and Hillary wins the nomination at the convention, she will need Obama’s supporters behind her too. She must begin mending fences now. Her surrogates must begin mending fences too. With luck, Obama will self-destruct, and his supporters will go to Hillary without much resistance. But Hillary, Bill, and their surrogates must pave the way.
Meanwhile, we’re doing what they cannot. We putting on the pressure from other directions. And they’re trusting us to fight the fight they can’t.
kai
All is well. check out our new and improved Action Center.
100 DancesWithPumas
Are the Squirrels still there?
Margenau: Email Trish with your info. She’s got the list.
Great point Firebelle - thanks for reminding us of that…
I agree that she needs cooperation from other lawmakers to pass her health care etc.. I am just saying that if she doesn’t want her name to be put in nomination she should say so. I have donated to her when my budget didnt allow it and I still will to pay off her debt. If she is going to support Obama then I will move on and work for Mccain thats all. I will never vote for Obama and at this point there isn’t a dem out there that will get my vote!
Hi buckeyes…Akron/Cancer
say, have been out for awhile..what video should we see? This place was so busy earlier that I couldn’t keep up. Video?
And let me just add I think Bob Beckel should take a long walk off a short bridge!
#104 rtr4hill, i have lost so much respect for the dems and it would be very hard for me to vote for any of them also…
Forgot to say - transplanted Texas
Dear Pumas,
I’ve posted this several times before, but here it is again for the new folks who need a little cheering up. Enjoy …
********************
To my fellow Pumas who mourn the show of unity Hillary must now provide, I offer this …
I like to look at this as though I were a fiction writer who understands that great stories demand great conflict. Great stories demand that the heroine be continually beset with seemingly insurmountable obstacles, each one bigger and tougher than the one before it, until finally it appears that all is lost. Then, and only then, can the writer allow the heroine to emerge victorious and provide the audience with the most delicious and satisfying ending possible.
This is still Act II, dear Pumas, not Act III. And in Act II, things must still get worse before they can get better. Our heroine Hillary fought valiantly during a difficult primary season, and yet she failed to secure the nomination. So now, the plot thickens. Now our heroine Hillary must do the heretofore unthinkable and infiltrate enemy territory. It’s a more daring and precarious plan that she has undertaken before, but her options are few.
Key to her success is convincing the evil Nobama and his ilk that she supports him wholeheartedly. But her loyal Pumas know better. So do our allies in other camps. It’s a ruse. It’s a diversion. It’s 18 million cracks in a glass ceiling through which we can slip in and attack. It is a brilliant plan, dear Pumas.
Like you, I fear for our heroine Hillary in the clutches of the evil Nobama. But we must remain brave and stalwart Pumas. We must do the things that our heroine Hillary cannot do now.
Sadly, not all of us can march on Denver. Not all of us have the resources to help pay down Hillary’s debt. Not all of us are gifted at writing letters and emails. But by pooling our energies and resources, we can do great things. Together, we are invincible.
Trish in Canada
did you see Margenau post about her list of superd’s?
Firebelle Puma…
When she wins….god I love those words!!
Hey gypsy puma Buckeye, Toledo here.
rte4hill,
I am not voting for any Democratic candidate this November. If Hillary is not the nominee, my vote goes to McCain, in local levels I’d be voting for third party candidates. If we have to change the undemocratic system we have, we must start at the grassroots level. To get rid of corruption, you start from the bottom going up; its like killing a weed in your lawn, you take it out from its roots.
Gypsy Buckeye- Columbus here - go to post 29 for link to video…..
O-H-I-O!
I love that little cross-eyed kitten!!!
It looks like it needs some hugs and kisses!!!
A few of us are at the chat room, it’s fffuuuuuunnnn
My mom is 81 and been a dem her whole life. Yesterday she said “Dont tell your dad but if Hillary isn’t on the ballot I will vote Mccain”
what squirrels? are some trolls around us?
by the by!
how are our stats?
how many new PUMAs, how are the numbers, etc.
I read that there are 160 sites pro HRC, nObama etc.
The only person who makes sense to me in Polictics is Hillary!!!!you can understand her words ,and explaining of things,for OUR Country.I have never believed anyone in politics except her.She is the TRUE winner ,and Anne lewis wonder what goes thru there minds you can see there uneasy and howard too even talking bout bho.
Then you have this BHO who goes uhhh uhh uhhh, and pelosi blinking , reid who blabs nothing for real, and dean doesnt watch cable what a lying sack.he would just scream.kerry is just full of it, we do not need these people i hope everyone who votes do not vote these people back in office.
#99 Firebelle Puma
We can’t forget, HRC has had a powerful, successful 40-year career in the Democratic party … if there’s a complete invalidation by Hillary of Obama’s (fixed) nomination, that wonderful career is shot to hell, regardless of how many of us are behind her. I’ve read tidbits here and there of an idea of forming a NEW DEM party by 2010. Has anyone else read about this?
Where’s the link to the chat room?
#110 BigCatLover
Yup Yup Ive already e-mailed her and she has sent it. Thank you. I’m cross referencing it to our database now.

Thanks for all your hard work - I know how much labor is involved in it.

#118 Cat in NJ
For Hillary, it truly is all about us … the people she wants to serve. Her “career” is simply the vehicle through which she does it.
I’ve seen rumblings on this blog about a new party. But no point worrying about that until we’re past the convention and the elections. There will be plenty of time later, after we’ve taken care of Hillary for 2008.
Waht’s with the password protection on the 2 faces of Obama flyers. ABinNY is asking in the chat room
murphy the same goes for me u are doing a great job dont get discouraged keep us going strong
and thanks again for getting me on line

Move over, we have to make room under the bus for the foreign press
holy cow that chat thing is insane

Sheesh…
Maryland
did you see the question in the chat room about the 2 posters/flyers in the action center taht are passwor protected?
i just wonder why with all of the slips bo has made why wont some one really pick it up and run with it
theres enough to bury him but it doesnt stick tell me if anyone knows how he continues to get away with everything?
JOhn Mccain is a great man and hero hes just not my pick
who i really feel is right for our country is hillary
and i wont give up
#132 Maryland PUMA & Murphy,
I’m heading out for the day. Maybe I’ll see the flier tomorrow. Have a good night
I just completed today’s prowl. What a TERRIFIC letter that was!
I’m far from home right now, and only have computer access for a short time each day, so I have to prowl whenever I can . . .
Maybe I’ll hang out here for a bit.
hey sandbag!
Nite Mad Logic. Thanks again for the help!
129 BigCatLover
Honestly? I really really really hope we don’t start doing that goofy carrier pigeon dance between the chatroom and the blog… “he wanted to know, then she said, so I said, but now he’s asking, so i’m asking, and then when I tell them should i also tell you” stuff.
how do i get out of moderation..lol…that is what it says underneath my post
#132 Maryland PUMA… Do you know if Murphy still up?
Do you know how long you are going to be on here, tonight?
The video sort of blew my brother’s philosophy right out the window - Show me your friends and I’ll tell you your future!!
Is the Squirrel thing a joke? Maybe about Dean/Pelosi/Braszile? I didn’t go to the link..every time I leave for one of the url’s I have to find where I left off.
ok. I was in the Atlas Srugg site and the latest on BO’s bc.
am I the only nuts? how come nobody is asking him to just come forward with the gd piece of paper and verify if its authentic or not?
has anybody brought up this issue to the DNC, SD etc.?
I don’t know, I feel lost on this one…:(
I need something constructive to do.
#139 Maryland PUMA… I have a sneak preview, but I am going to have to either take screen shots of it for your previews or load it onto my server (which I have to unload my stuff).

What you got that I should peek at?

If Obama become the nominee (doubtful) he’ll chose Edwards as VP running mate. Then McCain et al will hopefully force the issue. Obama steps down, Edwards becomes President.
People have been writing re: bc (birth cert) to no avail apaprently. NQ has been on this for weeks… no movement except that the expert says the bc posted at Obama’s website, and the doctored one posted at Kos are forgeries.
wow that chat room moves fast…i’m not an old woman but i think i’m too old for that!
Loralei come back to the chat room
ACTION ALERT
See this article by Clinton superdelegate Vicky Harwell (Tennessee) from last Wednesday:
http://www.gilesnews.us/Stories/080716Superdelegate%27sStoryPart2.html
In particular, look at the last four paragraphs.
I think we should all contact her to get her on board with PUMA activities:
vharwell@igiles.net
I flunked Chat Room 101….maybe tomorrow..too tired tonight…..night everyone. Have to get up early for Monday morning meeting.

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR SENDING JERRY LEE’S CONTACT INFO! I will send a polite email to him.
If you have any suggestions for the email I will send, please let me know. I won’t send it for a couple of days until I’m very happy with it!
Thanks again.

Now the games begin.
#151 Maryland PUMA… I built a new Action Center Website. I thinks its kickin! But I have to either load it on a server or just take screen shots and send them to you two.
It won’t be near as cool in still shots.
But I think I wll just load it into a directory on my server… after I take a break and eat something.
There is a lot to it and I still need to hook some pages up. I thought I would be through with the architecture earlier, but I decided to go ahead with more pages.
night lorelai
When walking, just walk.
When sitting, just sit.
Above all else, don’t waddle.
Maryland PUMA,
I am sorry about yesterday. I think that I wasn’t understanding you because of a miscommunication.

***** DRUMROLL PLEASE *********
[[ Mad Logic and I tag teamed a new poster: ]]
Since you are missing the fake money, think the other day DancesWithPumas said they have it download. Right #14
Good night MADLOGIC - thanks for helping me out and standing up for me today - have a good night - see you tomorrow I hope.
I need to take a break, but I had told Murphy (email) that I would send something to her earlier… Just didn’t get throught with some of the bells and whistles that really make it sing.
goanderson,
Thanks again for posting the link for that petition. Got an email from the Portland party hostess I sent the link to this morning & she shared forwarded it to all her guests.
To all the Virgo’s (including Sandipuma) great posters, you are! I have always liked Virgos (”some of my best friends are Virgo’s, haha). I’m a Capricorn so we earth signs are quite compatible.
No problem, NFIL.
Too tired tonight to think about e-mails, but I’ll let you know when I have ideas.
DWP ahhh yep.
Murphy, we should change our tactic from email to sending postcard/snail mail to SuperDelegate. It might create a new angle of attack. They will have a physical letter in their hands, with our hand writing. They might find it more gripping.
I did try one more time - too tired - good night everyone and thanks for your support!
And remember- TANDQ - THERE ARE NO DUMB QUESTIONS!
Hello PUMA’s~ hope everyone is well~
Speaking of running mates. BO should pick Kerry, they are both perfect for each other and they can lose together.
I forgot to add that we don’t abandon email. But we just mix thing up a bit.
#156 Lorelai
chat room moves really fast but easy once you get logged in with your real name
Today’s Daily Prowl
(sorry I can never remember the right label)
Yes I did my homework & sent my 2 emails and enjoyed it. I put “from a lifelong democrat” in the subject heading (along w/the PUMA line) hoping they’ll read the whole thing..

I think he should chose Pelosi, then we can watch and listen to the blink uh,uh, blink, blink, uh uh, blink
cosmeta
the faux money had a breach of confidentiality contained in it. My own fault.
I requested that Murphy / Maryland remove it, which they did. I supplied a sanitized version for uploading, that, i suspect, will be uploaded at some point, if PUMApac still wants to use it.
Meanwhile, if you, or anyone else, is using the old original version, I’d appreciate it if you would desist. Thanks.
Cosmeta
LOL.. Growing pains
Haha, what is with the astrology obsession today?
I’m a Virgo… (Don’t want to miss out on hillstheone’s compliment.)
#29….Thank you for posting this video…I have no words on this one. I usually have something to say, but this speaks for itself.
I think that Precious will pick Ms. Kennedy as his VP - he will think that will satisfy the women - the Catholics - the family name and honor - anyone want to make a bet??
I don’t think I like that chat thing. It’s just as confusing as the blog except it’s a pain to scroll up cause the comments come faster than you can scroll.
184 Drac
He still won’t get my vote.

My eyes are already crossed from the work Trish made me do today!

please add another aquarian to the list
Thx
#172 Maryland PUMA… I’ll just load it up on my server so you guys can see it.
I’ll email you the link when I get it up. I have to take some of my stuff off because they bothe have flash on the “index” page and they conflict with each other.
Talk to you tomorrow and see what you think.
Chat on…
TOPIC: For those who stay home
I’m going to Denver, however, I got this email from the Portland woman (Wesley College grad), thought I’d post it here & let all you smart PUMA brains give it some thought! ;D
~ ~ ~
“Do know that many of us (myself included) will be here during the convention, so we will be trying to “mirror” the events in Denver in our home towns. We need to do something “magic” AND MAJOR on the 26th of August. I’m open to suggestions regarding what we do.”
~ ~ ~
Some ideas:
* light a candle (real or online)?
* Host “Convention watching” parties?
* Do a prayer / meditation / affirmation / whatever you like moment at the same time of day (noon Central Time on the 26th?)
If we come up w/an idea or ideas we all like, I will pass it along to her, thanks.
188 Drac
Did you get your puter cleaned up?
Goalucard4Hill
I dunno….for all the carping they did about Hillary’s ‘experience’ they can’t possibly thing that Caroline can firm up his weak resume.
I see McCain going for Condi. Wait and see.
MarylandPuma
Chat is fun once the room finds its pace, but it really is just “chat” as in chit chat because you have to express yourself in 89 characters (counting spaces) or less.
But, that xat chat application sucks in and of itself.
#190 - WBD
Awesome. I look forward to it.
193 Drac
Oh, I hope not! I can’t stand that woman! I will have to vote a 3rd party!
Maryland-
I agree…way I see it, if he picks condi he can’t lose…it will give him “conservative” street cred!
#142 1gypsy4mc
“every time I leave for one of the url’s I have to find where I left off.”
Have you tried just right clicking on the link? It will give you the option of opening the link in a new window. Then you’re finished there you can just close that window and take up where you left off in the original window.
191 hillstheone
I think they’re holding a full blown march and demonstration in SFO. Then again, that’s SFO, where almost everything they do is done right.
MarylandPuma - I think he would possibly be wise by picking Condi but she has constantly said she is not interested -
Yes, thank you Goandersen - with the help of Maryland Puma and Madlogic - of course - got my head bitten off by others for taking up so much time on this blog by doing so - all it did was help me find another dozen superdelegate information - so I think that is no small factor - although something is still strange acting with Google research - just using other search engines instead.
If Hillary is not POTUS, I am leaving the country. There won’t be much left of it anyway.
Anyone seen antifish tonight? She’s always on at this time.
Goalucard
I’ll take that bet: Ms. Kennedy as his VP
No way!
To No One in Particular
So I just realized, a week from today I’ll be enroute to Victoria, BC, for much-needed week’s vacation w/my 2 daughters.
Meaning, I need to finalize these Denver plans this week.
I’m leaning towards taking the bus, a carpool, or train down there, and flying back so I don’t have to miss more than 3-4 days work.
I am really WISHING for some definite info this week so I can get it all put-to-rest before I am on the road & computer-less…
DWP - what will the bet be - if he doesn’t then I owe you my old record player - you know the one with the dog sitting in front of it while the record spins around LOL
DanceswithPUMAS: WOW! That is fantastic!
More cities need to follow suit…Go Hillary!!!!!
antifish is over in the chat room
Maryland,
I’m here.
Hillstheone - guess I am one of the anybody’s here - I have no idea - Maryland Puma would be the best person to answer that question -
Now that we have two sites going - its going to be nearly impossible to know who is where -
205 Goalucard4Hill
The RCA dog? Sure, I’d be glad to have it. Will hold onto until the next antiques roadshow comes to town!
Sometimes I;m a good sport, so in this case, I’ll give you 10% of the thousands that’s gotta be worth!
#197 Queen
Yep, and he trumps the Dems in race and gender.
I’ve said this since my Poli Sci class in the spring. I also think HRC will get the nod and OB will get VP OR Edwards or Gore will get thrown into the mix. Gore will not stick his neck out there again without a sure win.
That was fun, I was the only HRC supporter in my entire class. All the younguns hated her but I have yet to figure out why.
#187 goandersen
heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Only chat room you will get me on are those naughty ones for seniors over 80 - LOL
I was missin my antifish!
TOPIC: DENVER
Anybody see the poster thinking about taking a train down to Denver? I think that sounds fun!
Anyway if you’re in Oregon or California & are thinking about driving & want someone to help pay for gas, or are taking the train down to Denver and are looking for other PUMA’s to party with on the way down, please post here, I’ll check back later!
I was checking out the chat room. It’s great. When I went to sign in I ended up in someone else’s chat somehow. I felt like I was lost in space.
maryland-
never go that either- she has a much better plan to help with student debt…difference of $24,000!
Good night all, just came back from the chatroom, what can I say, this energized me for more full speed ahead type work tomorrow!
Murphy thank you and all Pumas thank you I’m honored to a part of this noble cause.
212 TrishfromCanada
Just kidding.
Why do we have a chat room and a blog?? I undestand a chat room when something is happening like a radio show, but otherwise it seems like spinning wheels.
Goalucard4Hill
Q - what do you mean, 2 sites?
Are you talking about 18 million or another one..?
213 Goalucard4Hill
Well, that certainly narrows it down
good night bruce!
Well DWP - the rest of the bet is that I come with it - so you can take care of me as well as the dog……
Maryland Puma I hope you are right with your thoughts about Hillary getting the nod - -
I’m trying very hard to remember how I actually became a PUMA. It seems like it was so long ago . . .
I remember that I was very upset with the DNC about Florida and Michigan. I just couldn’t believe what was happening, and I kept sending out emails to everyone I could think of. The VOTERS there had no control over when their primaries were held. They had no choice but to vote on the day that their polls were open. They left work, they hired sitters, they gave rides to the elderly and all things that it takes to have a successful primary. If the DNC was so hellbent on punishing someone, it certainly should NOT have been the voters. They took people’s votes away from them for having the audacity to vote on the day that their polls were open . . . . UNbelievable!
Anyway, I was SO upset about this and I kept trying to post on Hillary’s site. Someone there must not have liked what I had to say, because none of my posts went through . . . ever. As I recall, I heard someone on Hillary’s site . . . I can’t remember who . . . say that if her site should close down, we should all try to stay together. Shortly afterward, someone mentioned something called PUMA that might be starting up.
Thank goodness, because the feeling of disenfranchisement was so intense, I felt like I had nowhere else to go. I’ve been fighting Republicans for most of my life and then my own party goes and pulls something like this. What a slap in the face this has been.
The DNC and the Democratic party owes PUMA a huge debt of gratitude, even if they are too short-sighted to see it now. Standing up for what is right is always the best course of action.
#213 Goalucard!
(blushing) LOL!
220 alohapuma
I think it was to keep the ridiculousness in one place.
#204 Hillstheone
You may want to scope out the Denver Group. We are partnering with them too and they be farther along in their plans than we are or have more definite schedule as this is their only fundraising venture.
No One In Particular
Hillstheone - the chat room that has been set up for some of the people here -
215 Hillstheone
I am in No. CA and want to share the road or the train with some pumas! We could take over a couple of train cars!
224 Goalucard4Hill
It would be my honor.
Goalucard4hill
the name of Sarah Palin (R) Alaska has been brought up for VP.
Alaska HUm. Her Husband works for BP.
#225 Sandbag
Ditto that story and the sentiment.
Maryland PUMA - good idea! I’ll take a look.
Goalucard4Hill: Not that I have time tonight, but where is the chat room?
Repost of my growl today. Goodnight my friends.
*******************************
Subject: Fatique and Irritation
Dear Mr. Fowler and Ms. Germond:
The text below is my answer to your feelings of fatigue and irritation.
One Voice
The man stood at his hand-carved writing desk, contemplating the empty parchment in front of him. On this parchment he had agreed to write a proclamation to be delivered to the King, his courtiers, and officers. The man understood the words he put forth on the canvas before him would forever alter his existence in the world.
He was jeopardizing everything he owned and held sacred. The beautiful estate he designed and furnished with artifacts from the world over, the gardens he had tended and nurtured would surely be confiscated. His servants would soon be cast out without the work they needed to survive. His beloved wife and children would relinquish the comforts they had always known.
Clearly by writing this document, he risked being imprisoned or hung from the gallows. He would be publicly humiliated in front of his wife and his children and all of the community that now looked upon him as a man of high position. His wife would take to working in the households of the nobles, provided they would take her at all. His children’s future would be horribly altered; his daughters left with few prospects to marry and his sons left to labor instead of leading the privileged life of a gentleman in his society. Indeed, once he finished putting ink to this parchment, his life as he knew it would end.
When he had put down but a few words, he was compelled to stop. He had called the King a Tyrant. Had he gone mad for provoking what would be a vehement and deadly response? Then as though he had been possessed, the words inspired by other voices of dissent, came so rapidly his hands could hardly keep pace with his mind. His rage at the autocracy and financial oppression that had taken a stranglehold over his country, the compounding insults to dignity and honor, spilled forth not just from the brilliance of his mind, but from the depth his soul.
Once complete, the man rolled the parchment covered with the black ink, returned his pen to the blue crystal ink holder given to him by his beloved father, and left his sanctuary. Crossing the threshold of his room, he knew each day henceforth would be unlike any he had lived before. The four others, who had selected him to draft the document, signed their names and it was delivered to the Congress.
One voice became stronger as each member, risking the same fate, signed it. One voice was now the voice of many. This one voice became the flashpoint that brought the downfall of tyranny in his land. His proclamation brought forth a new Constitution and new form of government; a government, of the people, by the people, and for the people.
This one voice is heard three centuries later as the proclamation of the Divine Right of the Individual for Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
This one voice proclaimed a Declaration of Independence.
This one voice will not be silenced.
Anyone interested in contacting the AP regarding their disinformation in the first sentence, here’s a link to an article just posted tonight. When will the press stop calling Obama the nominee???!!**

PUMA in exile
Maryland and queen81:
Never assume that the “youth” are the least bit informed… BO was something trendy for them, like skinny jeans.
OK - I am gone for the night - have 4 more super delegates to try and find and they are the most difficult ones - will be travelling all day tomorrow but back with you again on Tuesday - Good Night John Boy.
goanderson: OK, that sounds good to me!
I say let’s do it, & maybe (probably) we’ll be more comfortable than on the bus…
alohapuma: Are you in?!!
I hope McCain picks someone good for vp (if Hillary is not the nominee) This could really help McCain trounce BO in the GE. Who do you think he will pick?
goanderson,
I don’t know if you got my post last night. I’m coming from Oregon. The train is an interesting idea.
#225 sandbag
You were not alone in being unable to post at Hillary’s web site. I doubt that 2% of my posts ever got through. I repeatedly complained and even said I wouldn’t donate anymore until I got to participate in the blog. I guess Hillary’s staff didn’t want my donations that badly.
#220 Aloha
I think I’m with you. I fear this will splinter the group and the ‘fun’ of it will distract us.
I guess we’ll see - I’m stickin to the blog. At least here I can backtrack.
GoAlucard
Night - thanks for your hard work tonight. We appreciate you! MWAH!
239 Hilltheone
Where are you? We could all meet up at a central place and then board the train. What a hoot!
((((((((((((((((Night DRAC))))))))))))))
goanderson: Just remember the amtrack usually runs 10, sometimes 12 hours late, so best to allow for that w/our ETA to Denver. Still, “sometimes” it can be fairly on-time, and the idea of being able to walk around & visit & such appeals to me.
Just wanted to say hello and say, i checked that chat room, and it is tooooo fast for me!!

“Anyway, I was SO upset about this and I kept trying to post on Hillary’s site. Someone there must not have liked what I had to say, because none of my posts went through . . . ever.

Same here! I was at Hillary’s site for weeks and none of my posts went through. I still typed my comments though! And then when it was transitioning someone mentioned a site, so I goofgled it and arrived at Riverdaughter’s. That was the day they came up with PUMA, and then someone mentioned Murphy and I came here. It’s all a blur though… like being sucked through space by some huge vacuum and landing here.
SEE I looked up to see the screen before I left and now I have a bunch to acknowledge - you are TOOOO SWEET DWP
Hillstheone - I have no idea how you get to the chat room - Antifish can you tell her -
Veritas 09 - never heard of that person before from Alaska.
Not going to read any posts - really am out of here to finish my project —– You Pumas Rock - You Pumas are Awesome and why are you in Exile Anna7000
64 DancesWithPumas,
Thank you!
#147 http://www.notfallinginline.org
thanks for the tip. so do ya think we can trust anything that ED says? I go to his site a lot to get info
goanderson: I’m in Eugene/Springfield area of Oregon. But I can easily drive down to N Cal & board the train there or leave from here or whatever works.
247 hilltheone
It does? Well, I thought about leaving on the 23rd anyway.
Anne 7000
YES!! I posted on this a bit ago. I got an email from a Ted Melson pointing to this story and calling Will Bower a liar!
What are you suggesting?
#237 Margenau
This I know. My whole class was traditional college kids and this 39 year old stuck right in the middle of em.
Sometimes my teacher and I would roll our eyes or exchange looks when their youth came out of their mouths.
007 girl: Are you in Oregon, too?
goanderson: Sounds good. I’m still working to clear my schedule for Denver, but I like the idea.
Margenau
I certainly don’t think the youth are that informed however, by definition I should have been all about this guy. i’m 27, hold advanced degrees, have that above average income, yet I never fell for the crap. i was for Hill from the beginning. My original impression of him was that he might make a decent president in 8 years…obviously as time has gone on, i don’t think he’d ever be qualified to run the country.
hebrew.que.
If you’re out there — I would like to say that I saw your post on previous page about feeling invisible. Trust me, that happens to everyone.
I often see many in this blog who tend to get their feelings hurt if no one responds directly to something that is written. So I would like to state for everyone, that they need to come to this blog, voice their thoughts. All opinions are welcomed and you’d be surprise at how many comments are read and heard. But as many also point out, everyone also needs to expect that there may or may not be instant gratification or verification that the post is acknowledged. If you can put aside that expectation, and realize that all contributions have value, then you’d be surprised at how many do appreciate the the thoughts from everyone here (whether or not it is formally expressed or acknowledged).
For example, I have to work fr
