Another amazing day Puma PAC. Tens of thousands of letters and cards, thousands of phone calls — WOW! In between planning for Denver and receiving phone calls or emails from The Colorado Statesman, Newsday, USA Today, The New York Observer, and NPR, I’ve also been communicating with higher-up political types, and Ladies & Gents, the stories aint pretty. Gov. Rendell’s pressure on delegates to pipe down and fall in line is just one of many in a concerted, serious, and outrageous effort to hold the Unity Pony in check at ALL COSTS. Delegates in Colorado being threatened with replacement if they sign the 300 Petition; delegates in Kentucky told they will be “primaried” and punished by the Party if they ask for a roll call vote and nomination. And outrageous (and I mean OUTRAGEOUS) pressure on Hillary to RELEASE her delegates immediately in order to KILL the NOMINATION question DEAD.
More details, FIRST thing in the morning. Keep bragging, sending those letters and blogging our message.
Also, listen in to Riverdaughter’s nascent radio show on No We Won’t Radio tonight, from 9-10:30pm eastern. Here’s the LINK — DO call in!
DENVER
As I mentioned in the UPDATE in the previous thread, we have a $20,000 budget for Puma PAC activities in Denver. We will be hosting a media and delegate outreach center downtown, with live-blogging and radio broadcasts from several of the Puma Movement bloggers, writers, and radio directors. We will also be hosting delegate and media outreach events from this Puma Den — offering a warm welcome to all of those brave 300+ who stood up to the Party Big Shots and defended democracy at great political and professional risk to themselves. They will be feeling QUITE alone and vulnerable in Denver, and we want to thank them and remind them that, though we may be outnumbered in Denver, we represent a VAST pack of Pumas who support and will defend them.
Another major aspect to our Denver presence is our Puma PAC Headquarters, one block from the Pepsi Center. This is where every last Puma will come to get their t-shirts, signs, water bottles, snacks, flyers, and instructions. We will be operating 8am to midnight every day of the Convention and will be a beacon to ALL Pumas. We will be live-blogging and web-camming Everything, so don’t fret if you cannot get to Denver. However — if you CAN get to Denver, get your ass there! We’ll be there, we’ll be safe, and we’ll make history! Check out www.airbedandbreakfast.com for Denver accommodations — these are private rentals in Denver from $45 to $15,000 a night — there is space available at EVERY budget level.
Very exciting news — We have joined with an amazing Puma group from Indiana and have secured permits for an all-day Beautiful Protest and Rise in one of Denver’s loveliest parks, just 1.5 miles from the Convention Center. This event is separate from the 18millionvoices activities and is completely PUMA! And finally, we are matching Puma Angels with Pumas in need for traveling to Denver. Since we were unable to raise enough funds for a sufficient number of buses to Denver, we will be using the Bus Fund to help individual Puma members get there. If you (or someone you know) are a few hundred( or more) dollars short but are planning to attend PLEASE email gotodenver@pumapac.org right away and let us know what your needs are. In addition to our existing fund we have many generous offers of sponsorship from Pumas and we will match needs with resources.
So, it’s happening Folks. There is no turning back now. I have no idea how this will all turn out or what awaits us in the next 3 weeks, but I do know this: we will be there; we will be strong; we will be united; and WE WILL MAKE HISTORY.
Help us if you can HERE. and THANK YOU.
Please visit our MAIN PAGE to join Puma PAC and to get everything you need for Puma PAC action at our ACTION CENTER.
be wonderful to each other.

You know the rule as of a couple of weeks ago, that whoever is first on the blog is required to make a donation to PUMA PAC.
I’m just glad I got a computer home to try to catch up on!
Murphy, can you find the letter that was on the blog regarding *61 replacing Hillary’s delegates in Florida? Please e-mail to me so I confirm who was replaced.
Thanks 18 million plus!
Peace!
I don’t know who that guy is on the radio show…but he is a nut!!!
1100 Lorelai
Inappropriate, unethical for therapist to solicite clients.
Did anyone get the email from the OB camp where they are painting barns in Ohio?
1100 – dances with pumas – she didn’t solicit me…. I mentioned I had been invited by another person and she indicated she was part of that group – in no way did she solicit my attendance and was quite sympathetic to my position. I phrased that wrong, sorry.
I sent my thank you card to Ms. Ferraro.. enjoyed that one as I told her (truthfully) that I have been following her career for a long time as I have always admired the way she has stood up for the ideals that the Democratic Party used to stand for and how much I admired her as a strong woman and a true servant of the people.
I also faxed Govenor Rendell’s office and sent out more letters to Texas SDs and other delegates.
I also sent all this information per link to my friends and other people I blog with on book group sites and asked them to forward it to their friends and so on …
I believe in sharing the news… round and round and round.
TO DENVER AND BEYOND… PUMA!!!!
Peace and Love

oh, whew, good!
Hi ya’ll,
I’ve been working on letters to Iowa and Ohio super delegates today. I won’t brag until I have the money to mail them. Is anyone else doing snail mail to super delegates?
Dear Pumas,
David Plouffe sent me a kind invitation to be among the people who are “the first to know” when Obama announces his VP. He wants to send me a special email alert. Here is my reply …
********
Dear David,
How nice of you to notify me by email when Obama announces his VP. But rest assured, it will make no difference. There’s no way I want Obama in the White House, no matter who his running mate is.
By the way, my Puma family will post the information as soon as its available. I’d rather hear it from them.
DWP-it occurs to me that I sound alot more messed up on this blog than I really am! I’ve been working on myself for so long that surely I must be perfect by now!
It’s just that sometimes you need a booster shot, and that is where I am in my life right now.
This election has been a trigger for me in reminding me of all the things that I can’t control,and the things that I can change and the wisdom to know the difference.
“Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference”.
Pumas have empowered me have the wisdom to know the difference as we take action every day.
Just read the opening. YES!!!! Things are going good. Wish I could get to Denver.
Rock on PUMAS!!
Boy, do I agree with Millie on radio right now! That’s exactly how I feel! And I, too, never have been so involved in politial campaigns before. I am powerless over this election and my life has become unmanageable. First step is acceptance.
More scared of Obama than Bush!
Re the actions against the delegates.
“The tighter you squeeze the more slips through your fingers.”
Shows how desperate the DNC is.
Firebelle- love your response to David Phoof! You go girl!
#24 Lorelai
I needed a little levity after the more serious letters earlier today.
Just curious….
I get on here every now in hopes to get some good news for Hillary.
I know that PUMA is a good thing and a good group. : )
I am just curious as to what exactly it is that PUMA is trying to accomplish come the convention?
Is there still a chance for Hillary to be the nominee? Is it really over for her? How is Obama doing against McCain?
Since Hillary has SUSPENDED her nomination I have really not watched any news so I don’t really know what is going on….I just keep hoping one day soon I will hear that Hillary IS the democratic nominee….
Hillary 08″
They are mocking us.
Brave PUMas must fight back !!!

Lorelai: I love that particular mantra. It is something that I have worked on very hard for a very long time now. I have it engraved on a plaque and in front of my work station where I can see it each and every night.
Courage to change the things I can… that’s what we’re all doing.. having courage to try to change the things we can. You have inspired me many a time, so I hope you find comfort in that and in what we are all working so hard to accomplish… I know I do:)
Peace.
Hi, Murphy,
Regarding that tired email from that dreary Obot that you posted downstairs (are these Obamatons ever original?) — I say to that:
“Oblahblah, Oblahblah, Oblahblah!!”
“Yes we gag! Yes we gag! Yes we gag!”
And since the Clintons are “soooo yesterday”, I guess Junior really doesn’t need them campaigning for him. This man of the future can get along just fine without them. Good. Let them rest up so they can campaign even harder when Hill runs again in 2012.
And if Junior does lose the GE, I hope these mindless Bots remember to give us PUMAs the credit!
To paraphrase Michael Musto:
Oblahblah is a legend in his own behind!

(((((((lotts1948))))))) Thanks for the affirmation!
Great minds and hearts think alike.
#26 rlp33,
Hello,
I don’t know if I am the most informed Puma but since nobody else is answering I will try to.
Yes, Hillary still has a chance but how much is anybody’s guess. The DNC is pressuring her to concede and turn over her delegates. They are also pressuring the delegates to not vote for her. We do not know what Hillary is going to do but we have definately gotten everyone’s attention. Obama is dropping in the polls against McCain so his popularity is wearing thin. We will fight until the end and if Hillary is not the nominee then we will put all of our efforts in stopping Obama in the general election. Hope that answers at least some of your questions.

Can you explain? When I live there long, long time ago, we would see painted hexes (sp) on barns. Just alittle trivia.
CHRISTINA, THE ANTI-PUMA IS ON RIVERDAUGHTER’S SHOW …
Lorelai :
Worry looks around
Sorry looks behind
Faith looks up.
Lets look up –
It is easy to get discouraged – I did too. Lets try our best and do our share and then some. Whatever the outcome, we should be proud now and in furture that we didn’t just sit around and complain like a lot of people do.
Dust off and jump in.
I was getting my hair cut by this gay guy. He is voting Obama because of the change thing. I told him we are not.
But I didn’t want to get too heated up arguing lest he chopped off my hair or head whichever.. So I hang my head in shame for not telling him more.
Is Christina known, as the anti-puma?
#36 DancesWithPumas
YUCK! I am going to keep my mouth shut.
We know of one Christina that is, she put up a web site against us. She was kind of lonely on there I think she was pretty much talking to herself.
I went to rescue new Puma – Carrie, but don’t know if she understood about “upstairs.”
#37Freddie Brown -do not hang your head in shame….I find it hard to also hold my own in confrontations and especially if my lovely coiffure may be in jeopardy. I mean, c’mon….my hairsstory is as important as my history and herstory!
Thanks for the words of insight and wisdom and support.
I will dust myself off, pick myself up, and continue on….
Thanks for the reminder..
p.s. Anna7000 is a great role model for confronting those that are bullies or racist or whatnot and not letting people get away with unacceptable statements. I’ve learned alot from her courage.
You know, the reason Christina is scary to me is that she is a pre-school or kindergarten teacher; and yes, she is the one who has the Anti-Puma site… I am guilty of going on there sometime just to read what stupidity she has up; she scares me because she can’t spell and writes as eloquently as she talks.. which is not a good example for our school children. She drank deeply of the kool-aid obviously.
Thanks Anna!
Maybe Murphy should put instructinons on how to get up the stairs.

Hey there Vonay. Time for another donation.
How much this time? Keep it small. I’m poor.
Gnight Carrie
blah, feeling beat down today
If I feel like this, I can’t begin to imagine how Hillary’s feeling…
Do you think she knows just how many of us are out here, refusing to just “let it go”?? Does she have any idea how many of us dont want to vote for *61?
I posted the link to a post I wrote downstairs, I think I’ll post the actual…post this time. I’ll do so in another comment though. It was written this morning, in an effort to re inspire myself.
That Cristina is a Obamabot, she doesn’t know if she’s coming or going..Poor girl….Many people like who are brainwashed can’t see straight.
wonderful radio show…horrible headache here…did all my prowls and read as much as I could that I missed today..hope to see you all tomorrow ..have a great night!
“We’ve STILL got her back (we ALWAYS have)”:
Average Americans, the backbone of this country. When America is doing well, we are the ones who get the most joy. When America is doing poorly, we’re the ones who take the financial heat and the sometimes overwhelming burden that comes with having to work even harder to support a country which is no longer the strong nation it once was.
For 8 years no one has had our back, no one has supported us, no one stood by our side as the tables yet again turned away from our favor. And yet, while we may not be getting any support, we are all standing together as we support what appears to be the last of the true Democratic politicians, the Clintons.
We’ve been fending for ourselves these past 8 years, sometimes struggling to make ends meet. We’ve let so many things go in the world of politics…but something happened. An event occurred that united WE the people and forged a bond stronger than the loyalty one feels for their party of CHOICE…we found ourselves once again supporting a Clinton, another Clinton running for President.
We went along for the ride as Sen. Clinton won primary after primary. We were shocked and appalled when she was viciously attacked by MSM and those damn BOZO followers. We were handed our “fair” share of insults and threats, and yet we never faltered. Like our candidate, we kept fighting. Now the DNC, BOZO, and every other traitor we’ve encountered along the way (with a few new ones thrown in) is trying to silence Sen. Clinton. The problem is, the more they try to keep her quiet, the more determined we are to fight back.
I can’t even begin to understand the kind of pressure Sen. Clinton must be under. I endure my “fair” share of stress on a daily basis (just like everyone else) but I can’t imagine what she’s going through…all those people she considered her friends, turning on her. The false accusations of racism (a more unfair accusation has yet to be documented.)
She is one of the most intelligent people I have ever heard. There is no doubt in my mind she has at least a marginal understanding when it comes to just how many of her supporters aren’t willing to support the counterfeit candidate. I’m sure she knows that in our books, LOYALTY has no price tag. Many of us supported her when Bill was President, we stuck with her when she became a Senator, we shared the joy and the honest hope of true change when she announced she was running for President. We stuck with her through everything, and we’re not leaving her side now.
During the primaries, the vultures were constantly circling, waiting. We were always surrounded, but we stood by her. Are there any doubts about where our LOYALTY lies? Does she have any apprehensions about fighting for the nomination because she wonders how many of her supporters will stand with her until the end? Is there any stone we aren’t willing to turn over for her? We’d move boulders for her, we’re already moving mountains.
When Clinton “allies” came out for BOZO, they weren’t just stabbing the Clintons in the back, they were taunting the animal that is PUMA: the animalistic mindset of any voter willing to put country before party. Our list of allies turned back stabbing enemies has grown, this is to be our point of reference when re elections approach, let the purging begin. A PUMA will not sit timidly in the corner while one of its own is surrounded and threatened. While they won’t say it, the Clintons have shown tell tale signs of being PUMA-like…and where the Clintons are concerned, one false move and the claws come out. I don’t mean the previous statement to be sexist: PUMAS have claws and we’re not afraid to use them. The DNC knows this and they’re scared sh**less that at the convention, the one I fondly refer to as “Madame President” may just let the cat out of the bag and fight. And the PUMAS will be with her every step of the way.
So if there were any doubt, allow me to squash the rumors, we’re STILL mad as hell. We’re STILL not done fighting. You should never stop fighting when the reason you’re engrossed in battle is the RIGHT thing to fight for.
Average America has always had Hillary’s back and we’re not going down without a fight. We’re ALWAYS going to have her back.
My PUMA PROMISE: not another knife will touch that back as long as I’m around.
#58. DanceswithPumas. Okay – thought it was a joke from the other night that you enjoyed…I apologize. Certainly didn’t mean to offend.

#67 Asian4Hillary-
You heard the show. What was the bit about Hillary and her keynote spot at the Convention. With all of the chatter and echo, etc…I didn’t catch all of it. Did you? This was the first I heard. Anyone else know about her being pushed off the keynote spot?
I didn’t hear all of it Jeremy. I was in and out……
70 Lorelai
I know you didn’t mean anything by it.
I really don’t enjoy it, nor do I appreciate it.
Offensive may be too strong a word…
I think they push Hillary out as keynote speaker..but I haven’t seen anything in the news to verify it.
Thanks Asian.
wow…i had no idea my post was THAT long! if its too long and you feel deleting it would be better, be my guest
#73 Jeremy ,
Howdy!!! I’ve been busy today so haven’t been on the blog until now.
Talked to my oldest daughter today that lives in Iowa. The last time I talked to her she wouldn’t tell me who she was voting for so I think she was liking Obama. Today she told me that she would be voting for McCain unless Hillary was on the nomination but she would not vote for Obama. Yeeeeehaaaah!
54 Lorelai
I used to be the same way about typos… but it’s exhausting and takes up to much real estate.
54 Lorelai
I used to be the same way about typos… but it’s exhausting and takes up to much real estate.
It was a first for me too, Asian. Like, it was all over the msm and print media schedules, etc.. that she was to do the keynote and that both sides agreed–even with Chelsea introducing her. Also, I am still laughing at the thought of Kerry as VP. I hope it is true.
# 73 Jeremy
I think Hillary may be a tad bit too smart for him. Everytime they try to have her do something to try to help him she ends up looking so good and he looks so bad they have to pull her.
Dances you are stuttering
DOES ANYONE HAVE A LINK TO THE TEXT OR THE VIDEO OF FERRARO’S RECENT STATEMENT?
if so, can you post it?
thanks.
good evening. can someone please give me Geraldine’s address for the Thank You action? I can’t find amongst the many posts.
Thank you and Peace.
That is great news texassherry! My niece sent me an email today–and even though she did not come out and say that she no longer backed Barack, I know her language too well. She is having buyer’s remorse big time. Now I have to convince her to vote against Barack. She will be one to stay at home. I will just have to monitor what is going on with her. And a fellow Texas Howdy back at you, btw!

#79 texassherry i wish my oldest would do that , don’t get me wrong she doesn’t like BO will not vote for BO she voted for Hillary in the primaries her first time voting ever but she said she thinks she is just gonna stay home. She doesn’t care for McCain either. I just feel so sorry for her she was so excited and to see how Hillary was treated and what happened I don’t know if she will ever vote again. Great first time experience huh.
#86 Jeremy,
I have converted my sister and my oldest daughter, but I still have 2 more daughters. They won’t tell me how they will vote or even if they will vote. I just keep giving them info and hope that if they vote then they will not vote Obama. LOL

Do they really think that is going to work? I know there are some lump heads like the one we heard tonight on the radio–but cmon. And yes, the crowds she is attracting on the stump is largely her supporters. We have evidence of that from “Lets Just To It” and his story that he shared with us last night. It isn’t going to work? It begs questioning. And Thanks for the info. A bit ticked about all of this right now!
#91 slyt2 ,
Wow. I feel sorry for first time voters this year. All they are seeing is corrupt politics that will effect their outlook from now on. It is such a shame.
#94 ABW4HRC ,
You are quite welcome. Good Night and Sweet dreams.
Moving on
Still, “I don’t think there’s any harm in nominating Sen. Clinton at the convention,” said David Serrano Sewell of San Francisco, one of the delegates at the forefront of the signature-gathering movement. “It will acknowledge the success we had, and it will give an opportunity for people to express themselves and get behind Obama and win in November.”
Already, he said, Clinton delegates have more than half of the 300 signatures needed to put Clinton’s name into nomination – and they fully expect to get more than enough by the time the convention begins in Denver.
“It’s a simple thing to do, and it’s the biggest sign of party unity,” said Laura Spanjian, a San Francisco Clinton delegate who also supports the move. “If we do that one thing, the Hillary people can get past it – and move on.”
Clay Dougherty, another San Francisco delegate for Clinton, said that “if the situation were reversed, the Obama people would feel the same.”
“For the first time in a generation, it’s been a close election … and this was such a unique situation,” he said, in which the first major African American presidential candidate competed with the first major female presidential candidate. “We need to honor both candidates,” he said.
And many Democrats suggest that the move to accommodate Clinton’s supporters may be politically smart.
“Sen. Clinton is going to do everything she can to make sure Sen. Obama is the next president – and that will include how the convention is handled and the role she plays,” says Democratic strategist Chris Lehane, who was a Clinton supporter and a past White House spokesman for Bill Clinton.
But “polls out there show that older women are the potential swing demographic in this election,” he said. “It helps Obama and the party … to have her play a prominent role in the convention.”
Under the rules of the Democratic National Committee, 300 valid delegate signatures are needed in order to place a candidate’s name on the ballot – if the candidate agrees to it.
Bob Mulholland, an undecided California superdelegate, said that means “if a candidate’s got delegates, then both names can be placed in nomination” – and the losing candidate, in this case Clinton, can declare, ” ‘Let’s make it unanimous.’ ”
Or Clinton can be nominated and a surrogate speaking on her behalf can say, “The senator has declined, but let’s vote on Obama,” he noted.
A third option is that she won’t allow her name to be nominated at all, he said.
#98 texassherry
That could be a good thing… maybe they’ll try to do something about it.
Also, a percentage of those first timers are “Obama’s Youth” who are contributing to the corruption by supporting “the means justifies the end” cwap.
DELEGATE HARASSMENT, HOW TO STOP
I posted this on the Confluence. It should be self-explanatory. (Anna7000, hope this answers your question about delegate obligations to cast votes for ‘their’ candidate at the convention.)
*******************************************
You disconnected me from the air tonight but when I said I knew how to end the delegate harassment, I really meant it.
1. For delegates in those states with a statutory requirement that delegates awarded as the result of state primary elections must vote at the convention – at least on the first ballot – for the candidate in whose name they were elected at that primary contest (one of your callers tonight mentioned one of these states):
Walk into the state court of jurisdiction and get an immediate injunction to prevent the state Democratic Party from enticing you to violate state election laws.
2. For delegates in those states without the statutory requirement in 1) above.
Individual states only allow candidates for POTUS who are proposed by the major parties, Republican and Democratic, to get onto the ballot for the general election at a date and time subsequent to the parties’ conventions, while other candidates have earlier submission deadlines, because according to the rules of these two parties, candidates for POTS must be determined at their nominating conventions. But, by coercing delegates to make their decision to support a particular candidate – BO – before the convention, the state Democratic Party is in effect violating the spirit if not the letter of state election law.
Contact the delegate from CO – I understand she has hired an attorney – and propose she could go right into the state court of appropriate jurisdiction to get an immediate order enjoining the head of the state party from pressuring her (or any other delegate) regarding which candidate to support, on the grounds such coercion seeks to make her a party to a violation of election laws in CO, under either scenario 1 or 2.
*************************************************************
I predict taking these actions will have an immediate “chilling effect” on further harassment by representatives of the Democratic Party.

45 StarDust on 08.12.08 at 10:30 pm Maybe Murphy should put instructinons on how to get up the stairs.
***********
Yep, some of us old folks may need to use the escalator or elevator, while others use the stairs.
Oops, I should have proofed this before submission. As far as I know, no one is running for POTS.
#92 Texassherry-
You are right. That is the battle that each of us individually can do—educate and inform–beyond the 2 words of Hope and Change. They are becoming “frick and frack” to me. lol As far as my sister is concerned–she was leaning Barack and respected my commitment to Hillary. However, last week when I was visiting them on vacation, my brother in law confided in me and said “I guess you know where I stand in all of this–meaning McCain supporter–and your sister is 98 percent going in the same direction now.” The Invesco Stadium bit and MO did it for her he said. These are the numbers we need to stay focused on. Like I have said in the past—the silent majority and those that have never been called on a poll are going to show up in November and VOTE Against–maybe not for–but definitely against.
ClintonRules, “Do you think she knows just how many of us are out here, refusing to just “let it go”?? ”
YES! Hillary knows how many and how hard we are all working to get her on the roll call. She would make it her mission to KNOW.
#103 Vonay,
I like your option better lol. I get so angry when I hear how they are all doing everything that they can to keep Hillary from the nomination. If she wins the nomination…Why should she not accept it and Obama graciously steps aside?
I like to picture her sitting on her couch late at night with a glass of wine and her laptop WHEN she can steal a few minutes for herself and checking out the PUMA sites to see what we are saying.
re#103
i like your optimism,lets see..
#108 Jeremy,
That is what I am seeing too. Dallas was big for Obama during the primaries, but on my last visit there I spoke with a couple of black women over 30 years old and they both told me that Obama was corrupt. One of them said that she didn’t care if we had the first AA president and that she just wanted someone that was qualified. She added that it wasn’t Obama.
re#110 obama will step aside?????
now thats what i call optimism!
PADem: I liked your letter to Mary Isenhour earlier today!
I have received some questions from my friends on where I get my information from to know that Sen. Obama is no good. A source? Ha ha….The guy alone is my source. His inconsistencies, arrogance, and inexperience are enough for me to know he is not made for POTUS.
That said, I think we, PUMAs, are all on board with why Obama should not become president. In fact, we probably know more than other people who are fine with the MSM’s gracious coverage of Obama’s campaign. However, when trying to convince our friends, coworkers, and maybe even family members on why Obama is no good, a book that has exhaustively documented Obama’s inadequacies is nice to recommend to these people. The point of this update is to inform all of you on a new book that was brought to my attention. The book has been recently published and documents what makes Obama wrong for the Oval Office. It is composed by a couple of guys from the younger generation, which is pretty interesting considering a lot of the Obambi hype seems to reside with the younger generation. I think I have said enough; here is the site for the book: http://whoistherealbarackobama.com

murphy meet jbjd post #102
#107, no, but i sure would like some right now!
OK here is a really stupid question: Why do you call BO *61?
# 107 jbjd
Well now that might explain why Obama is running for Office. He thought it meant Pot instead of Potus and when he saw the (s) he knew he was going for it – for sure
Playing catch-up
Q – Can someone tell me more about this post from earlier today:
BigCatLover on 08.12.08 at 8:58 pm
“Ed Hale’s source in Hawaii said all records of 3 hospitals for year BO born have disappeared. Employees don’t know where they are. Also dept of health cannot find them.”
#114 ny puma,
Hey, a girl can dream can’t she? lol
#110 texassherry,
That’s so right!
Hey Snowtiger…. How about $5 this time.
Anyone want to match us?
yeah… what’s with the *61?
#118 LaureyPuma
It’s his birth year
#118 LaureyPuma,
I wondered the same thing.
re#113
that’s fine ..
i don’t know if you are white or not..but sometimes non whites when speaking to whites will intentionally say non antagonistic things to avoid feeling uncomfortable bad feelings..
jbjd – on second thought, can YOU do what you are proposing in your post (#102)
texas tigress – you can come out of the corner now.
BUT DELETION POLICE, MAKE SURE YOU DELETE THAT POST SHE TYPED!!! Seriously.
#118 Laureypuma
It takes awhile for everyone to figure it out.

LOL You are probably right.

StarDust: Funny!
p.s.
Stardust – - – “sometimes I wonder why I spend

Well I can’t help it, I’m a music lover so these things are always running thru my mind….it’s a great song if you don’t know it. I like Willie Nelson’s version best (so there, Texassherry)!
Hey we are getting so many wonderful new Puma members – we might need a page of Puma terms so they know what all our shorthand means
1gypsy4mc – good one!
p.s. just don’t forget, he’s in Hawaii right now, looking for some of that P.O.T….trying to forget what lies ahead of him in Denver, no doubt! ;D
#69 ClintonRules
Very nicely written. I have many times pondered the role of “loyalty” in the primary race. I was horrified by the number of “Judases” who thought nothing of stabbing Hillary in the back. I would say to myself in horror: “But what about *loyalty*? I even formally suggested here that “loyalty” should be among the official PUMA talking points.
I remember after Richardson’s high-profile defection, I was watching Lou Dobbs who said in disbelief about Hillary: “This is the *most betrayed candidate ever*!!” I said out loud to the TV: “You got that right, Lou!” It was unbelievable!
And what message does that send to our young people? No matter what someone has done for you in the past, it is perfectly acceptable to throw them under the bus and back-stab them if it suits you at the moment? *That* is the so-called “future” that Oblahblah and his cult followers are now designing.
They say the true definition of “magic” is “taking heaven by storm”. It’s time for PUMAs to work our strongest magic, for Hillary’s sake, and for the *real* future of this country.

I’m just sitting here listening…you all are so great!!

Welcome new PUMAS.
PumaCry, keep trying, once you get the hang of it it’s not hard to post.
#113 Texassherry-
Houston went big for Barack in March, even though all the outlying counties went BIG for Hillary. That support is drying up and now I would say it has been cut in half. I live West of Houston, and I know both personally (friends, etc) and in my work that there is NO WAY that Barack will get these votes—and they are NOT staying at home. This is like a mission. In fact, there is NO middle. As Col Bowie did at the Alamo when he drew the line in the sand—it began with a few and now I see voters knocking each other down to get back over on the right side. Also! I noticed a McCain Office open. I seemed to me early, but so be it.
Thanks diva 2! LOL. I thought maybe it was because he told 61 lies….
NYCgirl: Right-on about Richardson! I’m with you 100 percent. Also, your comment about taking it by storm – take a look at the pic Murphy posted up-top!
Murphy and/or anyone w/experience taking action of the sort that will happen in Denver:
Do you think it would be a good idea to develop a list of recommended stuff to bring?
Related to that, do you think it would be a good idea to develop some sort of general agreed upon talking points for folks to have on hand and familiarize themselves with? It can be really helpful to rehearse this kind of info in one’s mind beforehand as, in the heat of the moment, it’s not hard to cross the line and become what may well appear on national tv like a raving lunatic.)

As far as I know, no one is running for POTS.
———————————————
I’m the likely candidate to run *from* POTS.
#126 ny puma,
I am white but, all I said to them was this was sure an interesting primary and both of them just starting talking. I hadn’t even told them who I was voting for yet. I was actually expecting a confrontation so was going in easy. I had never spoke to either of these ladies before. One of them even said that she had heard of Puma and thought they were great. I told her I was one and asked her if she wanted to know the website so she could join. She said she didn’t have a computer but hoped we would be successful. She said she was a big Bill and Hillary supporter.
Hello pumas,
My sister is joing us just as soon as she gets her password.I see a lot of new Pumas.Thats wonderful
i don’t know– with less than 2 weeks to go there are many things that are indicating the clintons are playing ball with the DNC /Obama campaign now..
i seriously doubt the clintons will be planning an “et tu brute” act on senator obama during the convention…it would ruin them and disgrace them forever in the democratic party..
whatever happens I will not under and circumstances vot for obama..
#120 Hillstheone
All three hospitals have no records of *61 on his alleged birthdate or any time around that. The state records can’t be found. The entire books are missing and no one at the records have any idea where they are. Bo left Friday for Hawaii and today all records are vanished and I believe Ed said his source said the records for the year are gone. The request for investigation verifying whether he meets the requirements were made on Friday, the day he left. Hopefully, it was the investigating committee that got the records and not nobo’s group.
There is strong belief he either was born in Canada or in Indonesia and the birth was recorded in Canada. Where is Trish when you need her? Anyway, Momma E. is calling Canada in the morning to see what their birth certificates look like and if maybe *61 was born there.
Hope this helps.
hey, how about running for POT57S?!*
#109 Oneof18million cracks…
haha, so true!
of course she would know. she researches EVERYTHING!! and thats one of millions of reasons why I love her
wow, its so weird, there are actually a couple politicians I feel love for…omg! lol…
cannot wait for the convention! bring it on!! i’m pumped
102 Jbjd – re: Pots vs. Potus-
oh-oh – you got bit by the typo correction bug. I am a carrier.
# 145 ny puma – i tend to agree with you but the thought is so discouraging that i find i often run from it. oh well, things will unfold and the ultimate outcome will be upon us, like it or not soon enough.
#139 Laureypuma
I wish it was only 61 lies! : )
You are welcome.
Have a great night all!

Are you still here? I love your sense of humor. if I didn;t laugh sometimes I would be crying waaay too much.
# 131 hillstheone
I don’t know if I will ever get this message out the site keeps shutting down.
I did not know there was a song about StarDust I just like the name I guess itskind of like my alter ego.
Thanks, diva!
That’s why I love posting here, it’s great we help ea other out all the time.
Jeremy,From your fingertips to God’s ears. In my little world, I can count 14 people close to me that would have voted for HIllary but who are now voting McCain. I hope the momentum continues to build.
omg. stay clear of lorelai. she’s got a bug and it’s contayjuss.
re#143
thats cool.. but i can tell you that within the black community there are powerful pressures and if you are not for obama you are considered a traitor to your race and you will have trouble on your hands..
i mean contagious. omg, now i’ve got it!
#138 Jeremy ,
Well like that lady told me…Bill Clinton did a lot for the civil rights movement but What has Obama done for the AA community? She was a retired School Administrator from the Dallas area and I was really impressed with her.
This song came up for me earlier… it became an anthem of sorts in the Bay Area, a while ago. Since the blog isn’t busy, I’m going to share it.
I think you can listen to the mp3 online.
It’s by a Canadian singer-songwriter named: Ferron.

Brings the least shock

There are traces
Empty spaces

#144 tillerylakelady,
YAAY! Good work tillery.
#141 Anna7000,
I agree, those going to Denver should have rehearsed responses so that they don’t draw a total blank or completely lose control when some raving lunatic bot or stupid reporter renders them speechless.
Oooooh, I sooo wish I could be there!
#141 Anna7000- re talking points in Denver.
I think an “elevator speech” is a great idea. Something you can get across to someone in an elevator ride. Maybe having cards printed with the top ten reasons BO is not presidential material. consistent messaging without lunacy or”middle aged bitterness” is impt.!
dances: i’ll look it up, those lyrics are excellent.
hillstheone: Thank you
I just wish she’d respond.
Anna: I’m sorry; I don’t have the text of her comments.
MarylandPUMA: The PA Dem message board is now plastered with Murphy’s counterpoints.
Thank you.
jbjd: Thank you for being so helpful.
TOPIC: Media training
Anna & Lisa: I emailed Murphy early early this a.m.
I’ve done formal media training for years, so I offered my assistance if need be. I suggested a one-hour conf call.
Not sure she’s read her email yet today…or all of it, at any rate!
Really I don’t know how she does it.
#157 ny puma,
Yeah, that is what that lady told me. She said that when she was around her friends that she wouldn’t talk to them about it, but she said come November that she would not vote for him. I am hoping there are a lot like her. The Caucuses forced people to show their vote to everyone but in November nobody will ever know who anyone votes for.
#155 LaureyPuma-
Those are numbers that I like to hear and read. I am not counting friends or family with this number—at my work, you can count on at least 40 NAY votes—and I can say that close to one half of those were and are Hillary supporters–the others were always JM. Also–that is at just one site. We have 3 offices. I would say that number would be the same. It will be very interesting to see what happens in Denver. The news changes constantly and revelations pop up by the minute—but I am starting to focus more on November. I am in transition. Good to see you here.
Slinking out of the corner to hit the hay
AWESOME day today , Pumas ! Can’t wait till tomorrow ! Ps – really am sorry , anna – knew it was so obvious that you wouldn’t have used the term Bloated Toad which means : ’someone who is incredibly self important ‘ in Texlish . Anyway , nite and PEACE 
hillstheone-
excellent! It is so amazing how many talented people we have pooled together. A consistent and concise message… awesome. glad you are on it!
if you are going to denver and are going to talk to people at the convention and protest please be prepared and THINK SELF-DEFENSE … don’t put it past the obama loonies to attack you physically or provoke fights..emotions will be running high at the convention and obama fools can get crazy..i’ve had run ins with some before..i know
TOPIC: DENVER
PLEEEASE read if you’re going to Denver!!!
Does anyone else agree we need to mix as PUMAS, but ALSO, we need to be a part of the bigger picture of Hillary supporters there?
I am really really hoping that on Tuesday – the historic women’s vote day & day Hillary’s speaking (night) – that all of the different groups are going to participate in the Parade that day.
There’s a parade on that day, right??
I keep envisioning all of the many different groups together, walking en-masse, and how powerful a sight that would be for America to realize the support for Hillary and for Hillary in nomination…
171 TexasTigress
Good nite cowgirl!!
Good Night
Peace
I know I am inexperienced and possibly naive, but is there some way we can all draw together – all the pro-Hillary blogs- and send one huge message to Hillary that we know they are pressuring her to realease her delegates. We are here, we will be here, we have her back. Her strength is our strength.
What they are doing to Hillary makes me sick and I just want some way to let her know there are millions of us who are backing her.
goanderson: I just found out someone I met at the fundraiser in Portland is staying at the same hotel – isn’t that a weird coincidence? I think she’s with 18 million, I’m not sure…
Nice person, & she’s the one with the “crown” (actually more like the bottom of a hardhat & made of stained glass) she wants to give to Hillary… it’s a real work of art. I hope it makes it O.K…
I hope we all make it O.K., LOL…
#174 hillstheone
Did you or anyone else hear about Hillary getting the keynote address taken away from her by His Majesty? Do we know when she is talking now? It will be quite the ironic moment to have her speak on the anniversary of women receiving the vote, and then have our votes silenced…. can’t happen.
Good night Ya’ll I think I am going to get off here too. Too much reading today and I am starting to get a headache.
152 Vonay et al….you’re the ones that keep me from crying!
Anna7000 – I do have knowledge that there is a vaccine for the typo bug….but since we are all revelling in our imperfection, I will not share my source.
Also, DanceswithPumas/ love those lyrics. Gave me chills! Thanks.
#167 PADem
Welcome!
lisa: no I never heard she wasn’t speaking on Tuesday night, last I heard that was the agenda…
Texassherry–
That is how I am seeing this contest–if you will–starting to play out. During the primaries, around my area, people were more vocal and visual regarding their candidate. Now it is whispered, in coded, and body language–unless you are in a group that are on the same page. The caucus system stunk–duh– and I know that the actions of his Representatives there, did him more harm than good.

TOPIC: Parade
Just found this, I’ll go look for more info.
The group Colorado Women Count/Women Vote has said it will also hold a pro-Clinton parade in Denver on Aug. 26, the second day of the convention when the former first lady is scheduled to speak.
Hi Everyone. Just checking in, had a few extra minutes.
hillstheone #174 — absolutely postitively! We are all in this together or we are all outside alone.
I know which one I pick.
No worries there. Pumas are pumas — we’ll all be together.
Lisa,
Where did you hear that?
#173 ny puma,
I don’t think the obambibots will be very brave with thousands of police and security people walking around Denver.
#180 Texassherry–
Have a good one! Sorry for the delay in posting back, but this HTTP error thing and having to go through the backups slows down my replies. Stay safe!
Good night all – have a 7:30 a.m. meeting tomorrow and major presentatioan….and must rest…..sleep well……thanks for all your support. Just call….

good night. Sweet dreams. Thanks for just being you.
I heard on tv tonight that there is a rumor now that Kerry will be the VP pick. If so, that should seal it for McCain.
gosh darn it – 192….presentation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Going to bed, I’m getting lazy.
Night Pumas, be good and kind to each other, we don’t have very much time left and we must stay united!!
Did anyone hear what Larry Johnson said on Hale’s radio show tonight?
Goodnight Vonay.

That is insane.
Night Sheila7….thanks for dropping by tonight.

I did notice the Colorado group is a meetup group & private, but the web says that the parade will march to a park, I think!
It’s going to be wonderful seeing so many PUMAS AND “potential new PUMAS,” too!

Beautiful story here.
Ferron’s Testimony album was distributed in the SFO Bay Area in March or so and quietly spread like wildfire.
In June, the Pride March was held in SFO. Ferron was the main performer for the closing of Pride. This was her first performance in the US and didn’t know how she would be received. The last song of her set was the title song, Testimony.
Imagine her surprise when 250,000 voices rose up and sang the entire song with her? It was exquisite.
Prowls
Mailed 9 letters on Puma letterhead to Swing State super delegates.
Composing letter to Super delegates – especially to the states that Hillary won – goal by the end of week (mail 50 or more)
Called Charlie Rangel’s campaign office. Talked to office manager and stated that even if Hillary accepted the VP slot that we would not vote for the ticket. *61 is totally unqualified to be President.
Will try to send Op-Ed letter out.
We are the frontline troops on a long campaign to oust *61 and the corrupt DP officials that damaged the party and our country.
Great job Pumas!
Going back to my Prowls!

TOPIC: Parade info
Here’s the info on the Parade, I’m glad I wasn’t dreaming it, haha.
“Hillary Clinton supporters will march through Denver during the Democratic National Convention to show appreciation for the New York senator’s historic primary run and urge the party to place her name in nomination.
The city issued a permit Tuesday to Colorado Women Count/Women Vote for a parade on Aug. 26 – the 88th anniversary of women’s suffrage and the date Clinton is rumored to be speaking at the DNC.
The group also will team with 18 Million Voices, a national organization of Clinton supporters, for a rally in a yet-to-be-determined Denver park.
“We just want to celebrate Hillary’s accomplishments and what she’s done for the country as a whole and women in particular,” said Katherine Vincent, 55, of Louisville, who is organizing the parade and rally.
Vincent is among those passionate followers who believe Clinton’s delegates have a right to vote for her at the convention.”
I have a hunch there will be _so_ many people and different groups marching, it is going to blow people away…
Maybe one of our first tasks on Monday s/be to get our PUMA signs made etc. for the next day…
Jeremy / Dances,
you guys are so funny. Who cares who is O’s running mate (except for keeping up on politics)?
How many times do I need to tell you, it’s gonna be Hillary so it won’t make “no never mind” in the end, hahaha…

Sometimes I wonder why I spend
My lonely nights thinking of you.
Your memory haunts my reverie
And once again I am with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration.
But that was long ago
And now my consolation
Is in the stardust of …
That’s as much as I can remember. Some one help out.
Evening PUMAs! Inu’s back! From a very refreshing, yet upsetting, sojourn to Las Vegas. Looks like you all have been as busy as ever. I’ll be reading back posts so please bear with me.

Well at least you got say one thing for them at least they can screw up consistently
Read about Obama’s volunteers – $ for registering.
****
Register to Vote and Get Paid? posted 2:58 pm Tue August 12, 2008 –
A casual encounter sparked a controversy over the methods of the Democratic National Committee. Several women say they saw volunteers offering to pay people to register to vote.
They are on street corners and outside Metro stations — usually in blue DNC t-shirts. Armies of volunteers are doing all they can to get Barack Obama (web|news|bio) elected, but are some going too far?
“They encourage people but what their main goal is is to fund raise for the DNC.”
The volunteers say they are just raising money. But Paula Abeles, a lifelong democrat, says some of the volunteers have other objectives.
“We heard it very distinctly. I mean, we were standing right next to them so it’s just I thought it was outrageous,” said Abeles.
Abeles and several friends heard a supervisor instructing volunteers. She says she heard them go through a drill before hitting the streets. It dealt not with raising money but shelling out cash to get people registered to vote.
“She said I’m not really interested in maybe some other time and he said would $10 make a difference?” said Abeles.
Abeles accuses the volunteers of breaking the law

sorry i just sort of dropped out of the loop. exhaustion sort of hit me like a brick.
i’m off to bed.
meanwhile, i’m still hoping will post the link to the text or video of ferraro’s recent statement. does no one have it? i’ve asked several times. i really want to read it.
night all.
ps dances, thanks for the text of that song AND for the follow up story, which gave me chills. deeply moving story.

it goes like this:
Sometimes I wonder, why I spend
The lonely nights, dreaming of a song,
The melody, haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
when our love was new
And each kiss, an inspiration.
But that was long ago,
and now, my consolation
is in
the Stardust, of a song.
Beside the garden wall,
etc. etc.
p.s. I’m sure it’s posted on the web, just go to Google & “Lyrics + title of song” & it should come up.
The Willie Nelson version has really pretty guitar.

Obama / Brazile
ROTFLMAO….!!
Lisa,
I just read something at notyoursweetie’s site that said she will be one of four speakers now. That’s the first I’ve heard of it but I haven’t been here all day so maybe I had missed the news.
Goodnight Anna7000.
Two quick things and I am ready to crawl in bed.
I just want to say great job to everyone. You all have a role here and have done such a fabulous job in just two short months. Murphy, Maryland, Mama and those who work behind the scenes that I still haven’t figured out who does what. Congratulations, you have moved beyond boundaries that would have stopped most people from moving forward. Pumas roar loud!!
Secondly, some of you may remember the deleate that was on with Murphy or Shari awhile back and he said no matter what, Senator Clinton will not give up her delegates because she needs to hold onto them for bargaining power. If not for a position, then for certain healthcare and other policies she wants to make sure are adopted.
Believe in the Clinton’s and believe in the process. The Clinton’s learned more than you can imagine during the primaries and I am sure are ready to take on anyting that can happen at the convention. They are smarter than most people and try to give them your unwavering trust. A smart negotiator or opponent NEVER lays everything out on the table and ALWAYS keep them guessing.
Believe! Believe! Believe!
Peace to all tonight.

I believe I heard it on Hannity and Combs. I tivo everything so I can skip what I don’t want to see. I think they said he would bring a lot to the ticket that BO was lacking in.
sheila7- makes me wonder what she has done to piss him off now! Won’t matter what they try to do to ruin her speech- it will steal the convention.
alright cats… my battery is dying (on my computer) gotta go to bed and plug this thingy in…
goodnight diva2. thanks for the pep talk!
goodnight lisa.
Oh by the way PUMAs! =3 Hillary was in Las Vegas while we were there apparently. Unfortunately we weren’t able to see her but it would have been awesome to (We were in a small RV which was hard enough to drive into the Hilton as it was).
Also, while we were in Vegas we saw the ad McCain was running (The Britney Spears/Paris Hilton one). I found it to be very well done. It compares BHO to a rock star. Found it very well done.
Something bothered me though. We also kept seeing an ad about talking to your children about drugs (And before I say what I’m going to say please know that I am incredibly against drug use and am not condoning it in any way, shape, or form) and I couldn’t help but think “You know what? The Democrats want to elect a former drug dealer into the office of POTUS. What right do parents have to speak against drugs to their children when these people want to elect a drug dealer to the White House? Doesn’t that make this commercial hypocritical? (Did I spell that right?) Why should children think doing drugs or selling them is a bad thing when a former drug dealer can be elected as our President? Clearly there aren’t any consequences…” (Hopefully I won’t offend anyone by sharing that thought…)
good evening Puma’s…….Would someone mind sending me the prowls we had taday ?? They were in my in box earlier, and I had to leave..Tonight, they are not there…….so weird !! I would appreciate it if someone would forward them to me. jwoods70gmail……….thanks

TOPIC: My Thank You Note to Geraldine Feraro
I feel like a little kid turning in their homework late, LOL…hey, I sent it out at noon on my lunch break, I guess that’s all that matters.
~ ~ ~
As a fellow supporter of Hillary Clinton, I just wanted to express my sincere appreciation to you for speaking out publicly about sexism in today’s society.
As a member of PUMApac and a former precinct worker, I have been speaking out about Hillary to everyone who will listen. And I know all too well how lonely it can feel to speak out when you’re the only one. I’ve been there, time and time again.
How well I remember when you ran for Vice President on the ticket with Mondale. You stood as a beacon of hope for women everywhere, and continue to do so today.
Thank you so much – you make a big difference to so many of us!!
Just think now they got to work twice as hard to convince us to want TWO people that we don’t want.
Leave it to the DNC to screw things up
THOUGHT VERSUS ACTION
Anna 7000, I just cannot carry out all of these ideas. For example, after I came up with the idea that people who question BO’s eligibility to be POTUS could try to block his election by challenging his application to get on the ballot for the general election in the individual states; several sites that adopted my idea read their state laws incorrectly and mistakenly assumed the filing deadlines in their states had already passed. I only picked up on this because someone on another blog said the deadline in TX was August 22 and this made no sense to me, given that the Democratic convention doesn’t begin until August 25 (to say nothing about the Republican candidate, given that their convention starts on September 1). So, I looked up election laws in TX. This took a long time; I finally came up with the information I posted here. And I also posted this information on several other sites, as my idea by then had spread like wildfire, and answered additional questions. This took several hours more.
So, while I am really good at thinking good thoughts, I just cannot carry all of them out. I would rather focus my energies on posting on this blog and trust people here who visit other sites to pass on my information.

Will he bring votes? Don’t think so… Will he bring change? Don’t think so…
Oh, I see, he brings his wife’s money!
I have been really busy lately, traveling, getting ready for school, etc, but I need to post this.
THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE DNC’S THREATS IS TO WRITE ABOUT THEM!!!!! The best way to do this is to contact Lou Dobbs, Fox News, Limbaugh, all those other people. Also submit articles to your local paper, they always like to hear from people. This is the only way that we are going to get a response.
BTW, Murphy I have a new e-mail address I need to give to you.
I wish we could get a good team of courageous lawyers that would be willing to go after Bo on everything out there.
From wickipedia – the lowdown on Stardust:
“Stardust” is one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, with over 1,800 recordings, perhaps the last popular version by Willie Nelson in 1978.
In 1956, a nationwide Billboard survey of disc jockeys showed that their number one favorite of all time was the Artie Shaw (1941) recording of Stardust.
In 1999, Stardust was included in the “NPR 100″,[3] in which National Public Radio sought to list the one hundred most important American musical works of the 20th century. In New Year 2000 the Swedish music reviewers voted it as “the tune of the century”, with Kurt Weill’s “Mack the Knife” as second.
In 2004, Carmichael’s original 1927 recording of the song was one of 50 recordings chosen that year by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry.
~ ~ ~
One more fact, though, I believe Billboard magazine had Willie Nelson’s Stardust recording on their Top 100 for like, 5 years straight or something. I am not kidding…

Thank you for posting the article about San Francisco delegates standing up for Hillary and the right to put her name in nomination. I decided to give them some Puma love.
Unfortunately, I could only find email address for two of the three. Hopefully, they’re current:
David Serrano Sewell … dss85@hotmail.com
Laura Spanjian … lspanjian@yahoo.com
Below is the email I wrote. Then after that is the letter to Hillary that I enclosed with my emails.
*************************
I’ve read of your recent support for placing Senator Clinton’s name in nomination at the Denver convention. Your efforts are very much appreciated by millions of us who want Hillary as our next President and will never vote for Senator Obama under any circumstances.
I’m enclosing a copy of the letter I wrote to Hillary today so that you’ll understand why my friends and I will vote for John McCain if Hillary is not the Democratic nominee. I hope you will convey our feelings to other delegates who have yet to be convinced that Senator Obama is not fit to be our President.
Thank you for your consideration.
**************************
Dear Hillary,
I’m writing to ask that you allow your name to be placed in nomination at the Denver convention. And if you receive the most votes, I ask that you accept the nomination for President.
You’ve been a dutiful Democrat, publicly supporting the presumptive nominee. However, no matter what you say or do, you will not convince me or my friends to vote for Barack Obama. If you are not our nominee, we will vote for John McCain in November.
My friends and I gave Obama fair consideration in the beginning. There was a time we favored a Clinton-Obama ticket. There was a time we might have voted for Obama if you asked us to. All of that is gone. The more we see Obama and listen to Obama, the more we dislike and distrust him. Most of my friends and I describe him as “scary.”
We don’t want Obama anywhere near the White House, where he will undoubtedly bring ruin to the United States. We don’t want him anywhere near you either, where he would undoubtedly ruin your political career. Even if you were nominated on the condition that you take Obama as your Vice President, I wouldn’t be comfortable. You don’t need to be tarnished by Obama’s considerable baggage. And I would fear for your safety daily, knowing how desperate Obama is to become President no matter what it takes.
There are many reasons why I won’t vote for Obama … and why I will instead vote for John McCain in November if Obama is the nominee. For the sake of brevity, I’ll cite only my top four … the real deal-breakers, the ones that no one, not even you, can argue against.
First came the Reverend Wright story. It’s human nature to embrace the attitudes of others around us when we want to fit in, to belong, and to be liked. Thus there’s every reason to believe that Obama embraces the hateful teachings of Revered Wright, despite his insistence to the contrary.
I find Obama to be dismissive of everyone and everything that doesn’t serve his immediate interests. I first noticed this when he refused to do additional debates with you, even though voters in upcoming primaries wanted to hear more debates. But now I see it in all of his actions. It was the same trait I saw in George Bush in 2000. It’s that very same dismissive tendency that led us into this horrible Iraq war. Obama would be just as dangerous to America and the world as George Bush is.
Throughout the primary season, Obama kept saying, “I welcome that debate with John McCain.” Yet he has repeatedly refused to do the ten town hall debates that John McCain proposed and that many voters would like to see. This, more than anything, reveals to me Obama’s character. It tells me he’s not a man of his word, that he cannot and will not reach across the aisle to work with Republicans, and that he doesn’t believe in transparency in government. It tells me that he fears John McCain will expose the lack of substance behind his rhetoric. And it tells me that he’s afraid to speak without a teleprompter and the scripted words of the DNC puppet masters.
Finally, I think Obama as President would spell economic disaster for the United States. I began fearing his economic policies when I saw how he would often outspend you by two-, three-, or four-to-one, but you consistently got more votes per dollar spent. Much fuss has been made about your campaign debt, but you know how to “do more with less.” John McCain, too, knows how to do more with less. He was nearly counted out last summer, yet he came back to win his party’s nomination on a shoestring budget.
Meanwhile, I see Obama spending obscene amounts of money on things that do little more than feed his ego (e.g., repainting his airplane and creating a phony presidential seal he had to abandon because of so much negative publicity). Obama spends money recklessly, as do many people who suddenly come into unearned wealth. I fear that he would be extremely wasteful with taxpayer money, and that America and Americans alike would be plunged into far greater debt than we have ever seen if Obama were President.
Again, I pray that you will be our nominee after the Denver convention. I sincerely believe it’s the only chance of getting a Democrat in the White House this time.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sorry I know that was naughty & irreverent – oh well!
I need to get some things done before the 5 a.m alarm goes off, so nite-nite, my fellow PUMAS, enjoy the starlight & stardust.
You’re all stars, in my book.

To everyone who is on the Electability Watch, there is an email list of pledged PA Clinton delegates who were harrassed. Please do not post their emails here as we do not want further problems, but send them some kind words that we are here to support them.
If you are not on the Electability Watch, I’m sure Murphy or Maryland PUMA will have the information to send the thank yous.
#118 LaureyPuma
If no one has already answered your question… the reference to 61 is because that’s the year BO was born.
KEYNOTE SPEAKER
The term “keynote” speaker in relation to party conventions is a “term of art,” that is, it has a particular meaning within the context of a specific subject area. The DNC had never referred to HRC as the keynote speaker at the convention. Rather, she was always one of four speakers they identified to speak at the convention: MO; BC; HRC; and the VP. They hadn’t announced yet who would be their keynote speaker. What they did today was to clarify her position because so many people misunderstood her status. And they were so clumsy with their explanation that people now mistakenly assumed, they had demoted her position.

“Clearly there aren’t any consequences…”
Inu–it depends who the candidate/person is. Geraldine Ferraro was the first woman to be asked for VP. Her son was vetted out by the media regarding his drug use or associations. My older brother was telling me about this when all the flap was going on about her speaking truthfully about Barack’s “advantages.” He said that she was getting so much heat regarding it, along with some other things. This was a situation were it was a inner circle family member, not the candidate themselves—however, he said she was treated by the press, etc. as if she was the user. If it had been her or in her past–she would have been gone. I understand what you are saying. There is no wrong this person can do—and if he does—he has an instant stamp of forgiveness. Frustrating–yes.

“When Hillary was young, she wanted to be an astronaut, to soar as high as the stars above. She kept reaching up and up as she grew. There were people who told her no. But she didn’t listen to them. There were people who didn’t think she could do it. But she believed in herself. And Hillary has been making history ever since. This is the inspiring story of a girl with dreams as big as the open sky.”

It’s very frustrating. Consider this. He could not go work for the Department of Justice because of that background.

Very frustrating…. (But I do understand what you are saying. The selectiveness…. for lack of better word, of this is annoying to say the least.)

You are so right. When so many people were up to their gills with Bush Inc.’s 8 year travesty… Republicans and Democrats so willing and ready to hand over the keys to the White House to almost anyone who isn’t a Republican… the DNC comes up with these pieces of work.
They thought they had a sure thing… voters were ready, and they told us their selectee wasn’t carrying any baggage. Of course, we know now, that he didn’t even have a carry-on … no accomplishments… no resume… no political positions… no nothing. Just an invisible man in an empty suit.
And they’re still trying to force a square peg into a round hole.
Leave it to the DNC to screw up what would have been a sure thing.

#276 Inu-
It is insane. There was a recruiter for the Marines on Sean Hannity’s afternoon talk show last week. He told Sean that if Barack tried to join the Marines with the record that he has submitted ( public records ) that he would not be qualified—YET—he is running for and saying that he is the most qualified to be “Commander in Chief.” Incredible. If he tried to get a position with the company I work for, it would be tagged immediately by Human Resources for “further review.” Furthermore, if he made any “misstatement” in the application process via “cover up” (because those questions regarding abuse/use) are asked–he would be terminated upon proof and his name would be listed as providing false information in order to secure employment. This is who some want as President? I don’t get it at all.
I have not doubt that BO knew about Edwards back when he got him to endorse him. I have heard many times on tv these past couple nights that there had been rumors since 2006. I can not imagine BO’s team not hearing the rumors.
Therefore, I truly do believe that BO’s team was holding it over Edwards head.

#322 Kendalblue, I have an idea. Leave a recorded message with your “new” number. Use Deans.
#317 Seattlegirl– and everyone–I hope it is so. I know I have already said it–but I hope it is so. I am cautious with this too. This could be a “boner” thrown out to the media, us, and the rest. But I am starting to look at it realistically and I don’t see Teresa Heinz Kerry doing the knuckle knock with Michelle. Also, all the drama of announcing his VEEP via text/email—I can see the “bots” when this came squealing in on the cell. I know what I would do–you can’t control reflexes ya know.
I also will not be watching the convention. But I will watch Hillary’s speech. She should be honoring the anniversary of women’s right to vote and not making us puke with some worship to BO. The DNC is too stupid to realize that they are going to have to work to get our votes back after the BO landslide loss and so they need to start laying the ground work for that ASAP by giving us something we can relate to.
What cracks me up is I have been contacted repeatedly to give money, first to BO, then the DNC and then Senate reelection committee. I tell them all no. I am not donating to any Dem cause this year due to their gutless response to the profound sexism that was used against Hillary and their constant yapping about imaginary racism.

How nice of you to notify me by email when Obama announces his VP. But rest assured, it will make no difference. There’s no way I want Obama in the White House, no matter who his running mate is.
By the way, my Puma family will post the information as soon as its available. I’d rather hear it from them.

Yes, they are unreliable and as much as the local Obama campaign thinks they are going to carry the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, I can pretty well assure them turnout will be fairly low and heavily McCain.

Just went by Invesco tonight and still nothing going on there. Also notified by dem party that tickets in CO won’t be available for pick up until 19-23. No set date yet. Why wouldn’t Invesco at least be surrounded by fencing by now?????
inuhanyou,
you’re right about your age group. I keep trying to tell my mom that. She says the young people will elect him but I told her, they will be back in school and they are not a reliable voting block (in general of course). I know some are, I was, but as a whole they are not.
327 snowtiger
Don’t even get me started on divided by 0 or imaginary numbers. There is such a thing as imaginary numbers in math but I worked with a company that wanted me to count numbers that did not exist. Since there is a real thing as imaginary numbers in math I made up my own name for it and called them my ghost numbers (to myself)
1gypsy4mc @@@@@@ sure did, and sent you one back.. I’m a little slow tonight..
Hi SouthJerseyPUMA
Dang, the den is jumping tonight.
#351 Shelia7
Yes, they will be back in school. They won’t know where to go vote. They’ll forget where to vote. They won’t have ID to vote. They won’t care because there will be a kegger and a big game that weekend or whatever. They’ll have a test or exam, it will be midterms.
caught part of an earlier show on there with Larry Johnson and he says someone has info they are trying to get out…..want it out this week but hoping the person will release next week at latest. Said if they can get it out, bo campaign is FINISHED!!!!!!!
I think Bo used my ghost numbers to win
#329 Inu–
I saw it advertised on one of his campaign ads. It said–”Visit of website and join our team and be one of the first to know who will be selected as VP by text or email.” It required you to register at his site–basically adding you personal info and becoming a “bot.” It is a sale pitch and as you said–gimmick–to get email addresses, cell #, etc. He will do anything it takes.
#345 InuHanyou1701
Unfortunate? I love getting his emails. I’m the polite type who almost always responds to emails. So every time Obama has the courtesy to update me on what’s going on in his campaign, I gladly tell him what I think about it.

Well, we’ll just be “virtual” kin then. Hope Kali is better.
Hello to those just coming on, and goodnite to the rest of you. Olympics are over so can hit the hay!!
But I wont be watching to find out.
Regarding youth vote. We take college students into our lab every quarter. Not one of them is gaga for BO. In fact they all have the feeling that there is something creepy going on. They have also made statements regarding the BO people at their schools and how they seem unbalanced.
BO does have a way with kids who are too young to vote. when he came to Seattle he held his worship session during school hours. My daughter said she heard there were only 5 kids in her classes that day. She blew off school to go to the speech with girlfriends, then they met up with some guys from another school for lunch and then they blew off the guys and went to see the hannah montana JONAS BROTHERS movie. I ask her what she thought of Bo and she said they felt he was as hot as the Jonas brothers! Obviously she will not be voting for anyone because she is way too young. If the “news” services were doing their job they would have pointed out that the high schools were empty, BOs event was full and 75% of the people there are too young to vote and will do anything to blow off school for the day.

1gypsy4mc @@@@@@@@ goodnight blue, sleep with the angels !
A couple of insights…
Insight #1
If the DNC Powers-at-Be knew Hillary was on board with their plan, then they would not be attempting to coerce convention delegates. See it as a good sign.
I continue to believe Ed Rendell is a good guy…call me a fool…but I think he’s throwing seed right now….so is Howard Wolfson.
Insight #2
I have a handful of friends from the DNC money bundlers from another state other than my current home state. Without exception, they are covering their tushes…and waiting to see if this PUMA thing reaches critical mass. If it does, they are in…but right now many are in government positions and can not put their hearts on their sleeves without the possiblity of paying a big price.
One of them continues to feed me with information without taking a position.
Think critical mass. Miracles? Nothing to them.
#327 snowtiger
Yes, but, one candidate will be listed on the ballot as Barack Obama; and the other will appear as Barry Soetoro.
#372 Taffy
ol I was busy and what’s this about dudley dooright?
#371 stardust–
In other words, the square of zero is the same as zero sqaured? (and visa versa–imaginary or not?) Just want to make sure I have the info regarding Soreto correct.
A googolplex of voices will rise against Carpathia.
#375jbjd rofl. But which is the conservative and which is the liberal?
alohapuma,
I agree that if she was on board with their plan they wouldn’t be running scared.
Question, hate to sound stupid but what exactly do you mean my critical mass? numbers?
video is great Trish!!!!
great video Trish!

You’re still here what was up with the post about my lawyer post ( it late if it sounds confused, I am)

alohapuma,
I also had the same thoughts about rendell and wolfson. I’m glad I wasn’t alone in those thoughts.
Love the vid trish.
All PUMAs…please read this article I found! Makes the decision that much easier!!!
Equal Pay for Women Promised by Obama Practiced by McCain
Criticism of Senator Obama’s Unrealistic “Promise of Equal Pay” has taken on a new irony in that CSN News Network has reported that McCain and Clinton pay their female staff better that Senator Obama.
To further the irony, Senator McCain actually pays the women on his staff better than the men, while Senator Clinton pays men and women the same. Both McCain and Clinton hired more female staffers than male staffers; not Obama he has more men on staff than women and they are paid less than the men.
According to the AP Senator Obama stated, “I’ll continue to stand up for equal pay as president — Senator McCain won’t, and that’s a real difference in this election.” There you have it; the difference in this campaign is rhetoric versus action.

Does CO law require delegates elected in a political primary, to vote at the party convention on the first ballot for the candidate in whose name they were elected?
Trish…did you find my emails??? I know for sure some on Huffpo!!!
Time for me to go. Have a great night all.

There is another copy of a b/c for BO flying around from Canada, and at the bottom the signature is Dudley Do-right. LOL Someone pulled a good one.
Thank you, it was fun to make, I love that song so much
#349 KENDALBLUE~~No….personally I don’t see any good reason to go to Denver…unless it’s to go sightseeing in the mountains, which I can do here.
I’m convinced there is nothing left of the Democratic Party as I have known it for 60 years and the convention will just be a sham farce. They have nothing to fear as long as all they face is words and rhetoric and will do exactly as they and the CFR please.
I believe Hillary when she says she supports Obama. And that’s the line where she and I part company.
jb I’ve been trying to look through rules. Closest I’ve found so far is delegates are supposed to represent voices that voted for them.
goodnight snowtiger!

ok looking now
LEAKED CAMPAIGN MEMOS, RESPONSE
Please remember that the memos leaked from the Clinton campaign contain suggestions from Marc Penn as to possible talking points he thought could slow down BO’s meteoric rise at the time, based on polling results. (Remember, Marc Penn was a pollster.) HRC rejected these suggestions, especially those that painted BO as un-American (even though, as it turns out, he just might be). (Someone on FOX pointed this out tonight.)
never mind~ lmao, sorry, i see he already found you! lol.. fighting the error 20x’s!!! heading to bed~
nite PUMA’s~ great work today!!!
goodnight Puma’s @@@@ thanks to all that sent the prowls. And thanks for asking about my Kali girl……..see you wonderful people tomorrow..

#393 MountainSong on 08.13.08 at 1:24 am
Ditto. The week after the convention, I will be west of Denver at Silverthorne. I will be glad when all of this is over and done. I am in my transition phase and I, too, believe Hillary when her actions and words speak party first. I came to that conclusion after seeing the video of her speech at Henderson, NV last Friday. It was different. It was like she had made peace with herself that this was the way it was going to be. That is my take. I support Hillary. I DO NOT support Barack. Thanks for your post.

#380 sheila7
Not stupid at all…critical mass is a scientific term meaning the numbers that indicate an impeding majority.
Theoretically speaking, if you have cells in a test tube that duplicate themselves every 24 hours and on day 10 you have filled the test tube; on what day is the test tube half full?
Day 9.
Day 9 is critical mass. Make sense? The difference between Day 1 and Day 2 is very different than the difference between Day 9 and Day 10.
Puma’s need to get to Day 9.
jbjd~ please accept my apology~ so sorry!!!

Good night PUMA’s
419 sheila7
I think critical mass means the perceivable numbers of voters that will support X instead of Y.
If the perception of the PUMA movement is that it represents “enough Americans” to stop Obama, then there will be a flood (Day 9 to Day 10) of delegates signing on.
My point is to say, we have laid the groundwork so that one day could bring a VERY different set of circumstance than the day before it. Two months ago…NO.
This is not to demean all delegates, I think many of them are making tough decisions they never signed up for…
That’s what this is all about, helping get people where the action is. You had too much enthusiasm to be left behind, so I’m really glad it worked out for you and I send hugs to your angels too. Better head out now, I’m catching typos…almost sent “hags” to your angels and that would not have been nice! Good night!
#431 alohapuma
And I pray there are a whole lot of delegates who are merely maintaining the facade of supporting Obama to avoid giving away the intention to desert him en masse on the first vote.
Rrrrgh! That’s all I have to say about the latest travesties perpetrated upon the American voter by the demorcratic leaders and officials today! The story of Rendell and the latest delegate, who at least, sought and found legal representation, are evidence that all our efforts at throwing a light on these practices and demanding a cessation to these strong-armed dictator-like tactics have not deterred this red-eyed monster that has become the demorcratic party!
So…I’ve been busy writing tonight and venting and yeah, trying to cool down my boiling blood. Stopped by chat and saw some calling for me, figured I’d leave my calling card. This Puma is in.

#225 freddiebrown
Yes, and those “volunteers” are being paid 24000 a year. They are focusing in the graduates.
While I was campaigning for Hillary in Texas, one BO “supporter” holding a sign , told me he was being paid 50 bucks a day.
I remember he told me “My respects to you, because I can’t believe you drove all night from CA just to support your candidate”.
#441 alohapuma
No problem. Just thought I’d tease you. Can’t give me an opening like that.
Good night to you too. Sweet dreams.
CALLING ALL COLORADANS
(MURPHY, I HOPE THIS IS OKAY WITH YOU)
I am trying to figure out the quickest and best way to help Sacha Millstone, the delegate from CO – I know she has an attorney – and, in so doing, help other delegates in other states. Plus, given her already high profile in the MSM, she could really help us, too.
Here is my idea. The rules of the democratic party in CO require delegates to represent the voters who elected them.
*********************************************
From the Model Delegate Selection Plan as proposed by the DNC and adopted by CO.
All delegate and alternate candidates must be identified as to presidential preference or uncommitted status at all
levels which determine presidential preference. (Rule 12.A.)
E. No delegate at any level of the delegate selection process shall be mandated by law or Party rules to vote
contrary to that person’s presidential choice as expressed at the time the delegate is elected. (Rule 12.I.)
F. Delegates elected to the national convention pledged to a presidential candidate shall in all good conscience reflect
the sentiments of those who elected them. (Rule 12.J.)
http://www.coloradodems.org/docs/2008DSPFinal.pdf
********************************************
According to FOX, the CO state party has already dropped their demands for her to come in to discuss the comments contained in an e-mail she sent to another delegate expressing her doubts about voting for BO at the convention. But even if this is true, the S of S oversees everything related to elections in that state and should hear directly from the voters that they object to the party tactics. You could call him to report this inconsistency between the state party’s rules and what they tried to do to this delegate. Each of you could call independently. 303.894.2200.
And, while you are on the phone, ask whether any state laws require delegates selected at the caucuses to vote at the convention for candidates in whose name they were selected.
Then, contact the state party. Phone (303) 623-4762
Fax (303) 623-2443 and tell them you object to what they did to Ms. Millstone; you have reported them to the S of S; and you will be monitoring them to ensure from now on, they follow the rules.
DNC MODEL DELEGATE RULES
Any state that has adopted the DNC’s Model Delegate Rules is obligated to adhere to the provisions I listed for CO, in #445.
just mailed off my thankyou card to Ferraro. If you haven’t done it yet I implore you to do so. If you think about she was the original Puma. She stood up to false allegations of racism and exposed the misogny for what it was. trailblazer through and through.
Dear Pumas,
Earlier this evening, I sent a little Puma love to a couple of Clinton democrats who are fighting to make sure Hillary’s name is placed in nomination. Here is the reply I received from one of them. I take it as a sign of hope.
***************
Thank you for the kind words. It means alot. I know, despite what the media says, that there is a strong number of people that share your senitiment. I am going to Denver to support Hillary. She is brightest and smartest politician our country and party has ever produced. Keep the faith.
Here’s the start of an answer
http://www.time-blog.com/swampland/2008/02/pledged_delegates_vs_bound_del.html
Taffy,
I just realized your previous comment referred to the same party rules I found. But after a long while, I had to stop looking for CO laws about delegate responsibilities; I have to start handing off the research. Anyway, calling the S of S is only asking your elected official to do the job for which you are paying him – and, hopefully, he will know the answer to your questions off the top of his head. (Take good notes.)
Even worse!!!

Goodnight PUMAs! Long day tomorrow so I have to go. Night all!
DELEGATE VOTING OBLIGATION AT CONVENTION
Taffy,
You were writing to me when I was writing to you!
This explanation from Time is incomplete. Remember, some state laws require delegates to vote for the candidate they represent, on at least the first ballot.
Trish I just wanted to say I loved this second video.. a LOT!!!
I commented on it… it was worth listening to and watching.
Well, time for me to head for bed. Good night Pumas..
PEACE.

Sorry I haven’t got all my prowls done, I’ve spent most of the day trying to fix my email. I made a mistake by by posting my email here last week
There was a bot here and I haven’t got any email at that addy since your replies, then after I came on this morning, I went to the wrong page and now I can’t get email at river-witch or mtnwitch. Hopefully I’ve fixed it I went back 3 weeks and deleted a lot of history and when I’m done here will be deleting some cookies.:D I am so sorry about Kali,:( she’ll be waiting at the rainbow bridge, playing with the three furbabies I’ve lost this year, here’s a ((())) for you, and I will get my prowls done, if not tonight tomorrow. 
I wish you all a peaceful night, and will never give up the battle till we win:D Can someone remind me where to find the list of SD’s who sold out, please?
. Hopefully my email will be working right tomorrow.

DELEGATE VOTES AT CONVENTION
Taffy,
This is fabulous! Nice work. I know of another state – either WA or OR – because I heard this last night on riverdaughter’s radio show. (I went to riverdaughter’s site to pull up the show but was unable to access her site, while she is away.) Anyway, PUMAs from GA can contact HRC delegates from that state, to make sure they know the law in their state and ask whether the state party has pressured them to switch to BO. If GA HRC delegates have been pressured, PUMAs can propose they could write a “Cease and Desist” letter to the head of the state party, copied to the S of S, advising them to stop extorting HRC pledged delegates to violate state law by committing to switching to BO before the convention or risk being replaced at the convention.
We need to have everyone’s back, not just HRC; because everyone’s back we cover, covers her.
valleywitch
I think this one is tres importante
send by snail mail a thankyou to Geraldine Ferraro for what she has done and continues to do. Read upthread or downstairs that it was an important action. See your prowls for today the address is there.
Hi
Hi all,
#327 snowtiger,
When you said that BHO will choose himself as a VP I remembered a piece from one of the episodes from I love Lucy where Lucy is trying to get into the show, and Ricky needs brulet comics.
Fred Mertz (William Frawley) is playing an act of pretending to be two characters–Mertz and Kertz. He says ” I am Kertz” then jumps around and says “now I am Mertz, how are you Rick”? I love that moment.
This should be a lucky year for me. I was born in August. My birthday has 3 eights in it. This month is a pivotal point, it should be a lucky year for me. It is my birthday wish that Hillary becomes not only our Presidential nominee but our President.
Hillary’s speech on Tuesday, August 26 falls on my mother’s birthday. She died of breast cancer at 63. During the Clinton presidency, I was lifted economically enough to buy my mother a house two years before she died of breast cancer at 63. For those two years she was very happy, she would call me and tell me news of this family of birds living outside her window. She would wake up singing. She endured much pain in her life and were it not for the era of Clinton prosperity, she would not have had those happy two years. All those issues that Hillary Clinton has fought for have been my mother’s issues. I owe a great debt of gratitude to both Bill and Hillary. I can’t begin to describe what that point in time meant for me, for me to be able to give my mother this time of peace, time of happiness in her own home. I had worked just as hard and just as long under other Presidents. I remain convinced that it was Clintonian generosity, Clintonion policies that led in butterfly wing chaos theory synchronicity to that little house in Texas.
I hope and know that Hiilary will talk about these issues that mean so much to us, health care and economic solutions, based on a firm foundation of understanding, intelligent policy, leadership, experience, and the wisdom that comes from returning from defeat.
This is my lucky eight year, I want to share that luck with Hillary and wish against all odds that she carries the Convention, that she becomes our nominee, that the PUMAs and our common community prevails.
I just donated a lucky 80.00 to the cause.
This one is for Mom.
good morning pumas
what is going on in the democratic party is a big shamelessness
what they are doing to HILLARY is the most filthiest political mobbing
they are acting like a bunch of thugs
they are acting like pseudo politicians of corrupted african nations
I am sorry to say this, but I AM REALLY pi**ed off about BHO giving the keynote address to Strickland.
BHO is doing everything he possibly can to make sure that Hillary won’t be there.
I am ALSO VERY, VERY ANGRY because BHO is trying to control audience at his “acceptance” speech event by REQUIRING people who want a ticket to attend to VOLUNTEER for him. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!!

Good Morning Puma’s – I sure hope everyone had a good evening and will have a enjoyable day
You know, I found a home. I have gone through many years feeling disgusted with politics and the Democratic Party never feeling like I could make any difference. I went too many years just voting democratic and not questioning it. Till this year I never really got that involved, I never even donated a cent to any political candidate or pac. Boy that sure changed this year
Well this year was the year to break the camels back. I have never been so upset, so mad, with such an intense feeling to try and change what has become a serious tragedy in the democratic party and with a candidate. I can not even begin to express my outrage over the party and the underlying dictatorship that Obama so closely resembles.
In either case, for once I feel my voice along with everyone else’s voice here can make a difference; we can help change the party. I feel so good about that and I sincerely want to thank Murphy and the people working so hard beside her for giving me/us this opportunity.
On another note – we (my wife and I) will be going out of town later today for a much needed vacation and part business trip. I will have the laptop so I can at least keep up with the prowls and quickly skim through the blog.
Wishing you all the very best, enjoy and peace
good morning

Good Morning Trish – hope you are enjoying your morning coffee
I caught that video you posted last night/this morning – very nice enjoyed it a lot. Have a nice day.
It looks like a few people are up at this early morning hour. Let’s have a morning coffee toast. Here is too all of us who work hard, who never give up and never quit for we are the people who will make a difference
I am up
but for me is 12:45 pm
Morning all. Night in my time. I’m busy with work so haven’t been able to blog much.
Goodluck with Letter-Writing to delegates and Denver planning. PUMA POWER.
Good Morning PUMAS!
So little time to blog these days but keeping up with Prowls, etc
NYT has an article on the text messaging for BO’s campaign to send info on the VP choice. It confirmed my thoughts on the idea which is to create the database to later send multiple messages (in Nov) to remind thier voters to vote on election day:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/13/opinion/13graff.html/?_r=1&th=&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&emc=th&adxnnlx=1218625263-sr6In4O5mYHmTNDybqMDOw
#479 cjv.
Good idea, the Obots younger crowd are a forgettable bunch, needs reminding
#480 MadLogic
And here’s hoping they forget to pay their cell phone bill and the service was turned off.
However, I would rather think that the convention will bring some interesting surprises, where HRC is nominated and BO’s database is all for naught!
Did anyone else hear this morning that Hillary is now NOT going to be speaking on Tuesday of the convention? My husband said he heard it on the early morning news. I wonder if that means she will be placed on the roll call or has been picked as VP? Can anyone confirm this news?
Obots think they can replace technology-gadgets for “integrity”. All the fairy fluff ain’t gonna work.
#481 cjv.
I hear the new I-Phone is quite expensive to maintain
#482 Oneof18million cracks….
I hope not (VP). But if it is, then BO will gain some of Senator Clinton’s supporters, but will drive away his ardent supporters. So in the end, it won’t make much difference. Like before when BO trying to gain Centrist and in doing so loses some Leftist.
I would be furious if she were VP. That would be like a slap in the face. I have been scanning AOL news and can not find anything on her no longer speaking. But then in comment:
#463 anonymous on 08.13.08 at 5:38 am I am sorry to say this, but I AM REALLY pi**ed off about BHO giving the keynote address to Strickland.
I never was aware Strickland was speaking. I am from Ohio and this is news to me. Has this just happened in the past 24 hours?
#486 Oneof18million cracks…
I’m not from the US so I only get news from all on here. So maybe in a few hours we will know a bit more about it.
Good Morning Everyone
After reading through the post from the wee hours of the morning I was impressed with Alohapuma’s Critical Mass Theory in relation to the convention delegates.
I reposted them here so we can share in her outlook.
Alohapuma, I hope that all Pumas et al are in day 5 in your critical mass theory relating to the delegates.
Now that would be change we can believe in!
****************************
#374 alohapuma on 08.13.08 at 1:15 am
A couple of insights…
Insight #1
If the DNC Powers-at-Be knew Hillary was on board with their plan, then they would not be attempting to coerce convention delegates. See it as a good sign.
I continue to believe Ed Rendell is a good guy…call me a fool…but I think he’s throwing seed right now….so is Howard Wolfson.
Insight #2
I have a handful of friends from the DNC money bundlers from another state other than my current home state. Without exception, they are covering their tushes…and waiting to see if this PUMA thing reaches critical mass. If it does, they are in…but right now many are in government positions and can not put their hearts on their sleeves without the possiblity of paying a big price.
One of them continues to feed me with information without taking a position.
Think critical mass. Miracles? Nothing to them.

Not stupid at all…critical mass is a scientific term meaning the numbers that indicate an impeding majority.
Theoretically speaking, if you have cells in a test tube that duplicate themselves every 24 hours and on day 10 you have filled the test tube; on what day is the test tube half full?
Day 9.
Day 9 is critical mass. Make sense? The difference between Day 1 and Day 2 is very different than the difference between Day 9 and Day 10.
Puma’s need to get to Day 9.

I think critical mass means the perceivable numbers of voters that will support X instead of Y.
If the perception of the PUMA movement is that it represents “enough Americans” to stop Obama, then there will be a flood (Day 9 to Day 10) of delegates signing on.
My point is to say, we have laid the groundwork so that one day could bring a VERY different set of circumstance than the day before it. Two months ago…NO.
This is not to demean all delegates, I think many of them are making tough decisions they never signed up for…
I think most of us here do not support the idea that HRC being a VP will be good. I pray it isn’t so. I find it hard to believe that she would buy into that idea, even if she was being strong armed by the DNC/BO campaign. It takes her out of any possibility of running in 2012, with the assumption that the current situation remains status quo with BO receiving the coronation.
Something tells me that there may be something going on that may work to her benefit if the schedule changed with someone else speaking. Maybe we will get a better idea as the day wears on.
We will see what today will unfolds. NOOOO VP!!!!
I’m out for a little while, catch you all later.
GO PUMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dances – I propose Obama/Pelosi ( hey one woman is the same as another isn’t she? )
Jeramy – “hope and tingle” – you’re the best
Stardust – I’m still angry about basing those delegates on “exit polls”. Everyone knows how inaccurate they are . . .the Obamabots have intimidated people so that they won’t say they’re not voting for him. We have lots and lots of closet PUMAs out there.
Good morning, everyone! Just posting to say that I have sent my letter to Geraldine Ferraro. I don’t post much here anymore, but I check in daily and do my PROWLS when I can. I donate monthly, and I am still very supportive of this movement and this group. Murphy et al are truly amazing and I am so appreciative of all that you are doing. So keep up the good work everyone. It sounds as if we are being heard. Best to all.
Good morning PUMA’s what is this I was reading????
#488
“BHO giving the keynote address to Strickland.
I never was aware Strickland was speaking. I am from Ohio and this is news to me. Has this just happened in the past 24 hours”?
Good Morning Pumas !!!!!
Morning TexasTigress
I’ve got a weird feeling something is going on and it’s not good.
Murphy , Mama , anyone who would know , is someone trying to mediate this BS between Cannon , and TD et al ? This conflict is finding it’s way into my e-mail in box from friends who are still under the influence of the koolaid and it is just such a distraction from our goals …..
Hi, good morning to all…
I got depressed so I had to visit the Don’t Vote Obama and Chicagoans Against Obama to cheer up!!
((((((((sly2))))))) Morning !!! I agree , but remember , our strenngth and resolve have backed ‘them’ into a corner and they play dirty . We can handle whatever they throw at us . I honestly feel that our turnout in Denver is going to be the game changer .
FYI
Christina on “yestodemocracy” has article about her call to blog-radio last night. She has posted a couple of strange comments as being representative of us.
( Interestingly I don’t recognize the screen names ).
I think Obamabots masquerade as PUMAs sometimes.
IT’s probably best to ignore her. I don’t put comments on her site because I don’t want to increase her volume
or engage her. She seems determined to put a negative spin on whatever comes her way. Also seems like an intelligent person. Shame.
Have to go do something constructive, not that this isn’t constructive. Have a great day all!
Morning all

Good morning Carrie – Hope you enjoyed being with us yesterday!!
#501 mpdamon LOL i just came from there too funny, anyways have a great day
Good Morning Caracal Carrie
Texas Tigress, thanks needed that but I;m not scared i know we are getting under there skin, I just got a bad feeling something is going on that we just won’t be able to stop. Like it’s already done kind of thing.
hello everyone! this is the crunch time. everyone needs to do what they can. the tactics being used are classic and no one should feel afraid or vulnerable or dispirited.
When you start receiving this type of treatment you know you are making a difference.
Thanks to people like darragh, will, just say no deal and every single one of you the party doesn’t know what to do with itself. So as I usually say, No We Won’t. Just make that your answer to everysingle plea, question or threat veiled or unveiled.
KEEP IT UP!!! It’s working! I’m so happy to be a part of this with all of you!
—me
I did Gypsy thanks!
# 507 carrie , did you see that new orleans had bee talking to you way up thread ? Morning
Mark Warner to deliver Democratic convention keynote
Posted: 08:24 AM ET
From CNN Deputy Political Director Paul Steinhauser
Warner (here campaigning with Obama in Virginia) is considered a rising star in the Democratic Party.
WASHINGTON (CNN) – Former Virginia Governor and Senate candidate Mark Warner will deliver the keynote address at this month’s 2008 Democratic National Convention.
Barack Obama’s presidential campaign announced Wednesday that Warner will deliver the speech on the convention’s second night, Tuesday August 26 — that’s also the night that Senator Hillary Clinton (D-New York) will also speak in prime time. Clinton came very close to winning the Democratic presidential nomination, dropping her bid for the White House and backing Obama just two months ago, after the end of the primary season.
But Warner gets the coveted role of keynote speaker. Four years ago a little-known state lawmaker from Illinois who was running for the Senate had the same role. His speech at the convention in Boston was highly praised by Democrats. That man, Obama, went on to win his election and now the Democrat’s presumptive presidential nominee.
Warner won election as Virginia’s governor in 2001, the first in a string of statewide election victories by Democrats this decade in a state that was once dominated by Republicans. Warner is now facing off with the man he succeeded in Richmond, Republican Jim Gilmore, in the battle to succeed retiring Senator John Warner (no relation to Mark Warner), a Republican who has held the seat for three decades.
Democrats say the theme of the second night of the convention will be “Renewing America’s Promise.”
===================
Could Obama be PO’d at Hillary!!!

I’m not depressed any more – when I go to those 2 sites, it refreshes my memory about XO’s hypocrosies (sp). I gotta work today, so just checking in, although it’s hard for me to check out……..
#510 1gypsy4mc oh don’t worry about me I’m not depressed, I just think something is going on that’s out of our control right now. Anyways you have a good day and don’t work to hard.
Has anyone else heard that Hillary will NOT be the keynote speaker on Tuesday of the convention? I came down to breakfast this morning and my hubby said, “So did you hear the news about Hillary?” I said, “NO what is new?” He said, “the news just reported she will NOT be the keynote speaker any more on Tuesday.” I immediately turned on my computer to see if anyone or any site was covering this and NOTHING!!
Can anyone confirm or deny this? My husband does have a tiny bit of hearing problem so maybe he did not hear correctly. Then I read above Ted Strickland was the keynote speaker. #463 hmmmm What is going on?
this is from OHOHIO who had trouble commenting
Dear Ms. Ferraro
Thank you from one of the 18 million voters for Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Thank you for speaking out on National TV informing the electorate that the “double standard” against women who compete has got to stop!
I know you were referring to Hillary as you spoke out last Sunday. But I want to thank you for speaking out for all the female population who meet the wall of the “double standard” in their competitions in life.This wall exists and surrounds us and continues to undermine our democracy. When our elitist Congress chooses to SELECT a candidate such as Barack Obama over Hilllary Clinton, the “double standard” wall seems to become more insurmountable.
For those of us who walk along the unfriendly side of that wall, I thank you and am so grateful for your acknowledgement. Thank you for speaking the truth on our behalf.
88888888888888888
so in re: to Ed Rendell. Who is giving him his orders? Or is he just leading the pack over there with the bad guys?
Welcome back Murphy! Hope we start getting some good news here with Hillary going to get her name in nomination?
peace
LOL no I got lost yesterday…trying to sign up for the radio and find where ppl were
I am terrible I will have to read it and watch for New Orleans
I did heart hat but didn’t hear it on the news…ugh guess she may take VP ???? what do you think ? omg
#509 hillaryistheone
He may be po’d , but I have a different plan for the convention : There will be so many of us in Denver that Hill will be so supported and feel so confident that she will give the greatest speech of her lifetime , and at the end , she will demand her name be placed in the roll call , and move for an immediate vote at wich time all of the dels. will be so inspired that she will be elected unanimously ! There will be cheeringin the streets and All good Pumas will sleep well that night knowing they have changed the course of history .
Mama , anything on #498 ?
Hi all , I’m not sure that Hillary was slated to be the keynote speaker that night in the first place-she will be among four other speakers-apparently she doesn’t rate to be a keynote speaker
Carrie see #475 and #476

Now I am really confused?? #463 Ted Strickland will be the keynote speaker. Is there some back door dealings going on with Obama once again?
#512 Oneof18million cracks I heard on Ed Hales show last night about her not being a keynote speaker anymore but like you heard nothing on the news channels about it but i have to admit I have not been combing the internet looking for it this morning. As far as Ted Strickland goes that is totally news to me maybe this is something that was decided when they were sharing there birthday here in OH. So nope I don’t know anything either except at one time he said no to VP maybe he changed his mind.
#516 TexasTigress, I pray that you are right!!!
Did you hear about the guy that was going to get info on BO and could find anything at the libary in Hawaii…it had been taken and they didnt know where it was .
How many times are they going to push her out….I hate them!!!!!!!
Morning Folks, new post up.
feel free to repost comments.
Take it upstairs!
#523 prowlland I had heard that all 3 hospitals in Hawaii were missing the records from xo’s birth year . Some people werehoping that it was the atty. gen’s office that had taken the records because they are finally investigating the situation after several people had filed complaints . (Pumas filed complaints last week )
Okay I’m going to go write my Thank You to Geraldine, I’ll check back later. Thank you slyt2, and Good Morning to my neighbor in Ohio.
Hmm read this
http://www.politickeroh.com/strickland-lays-out-obamas-strategy-says-hell-speak-convention
Good Morning Pumas,
I’m sorry to have to ask again, but could someone please send me the Ferrano and Rendel prowls. I have emailed Murphy and Fred, but have not gotten a reply.
Anyone else having problems getting the prowls?
As for the convention upheavals–I believe that NoName’s campaign folks are trying everything to keep Hillary out of it and they will stop at nothing since they have been able to get this far by lies and cheating.
We must keep up the pressure, the prowls, and stick together. I am impressed by all of the energy and ideas coming from this site.
Great work Pumas!
Carrie – go upstairs to new thread again.
Thanks Texas!
New Orleans!
Oh my gosh you are takin me home today! Dr John is my hero and I sing Bruja Bembe in the shower! My weakness for the Po Boy comes from Verte Mart on Royal! a french frie po boy with Ketchup and “mynez”!
If I have to be old alone and walk there I will live in N’awlins again!
What I wouldnt give for a big cup of CC’s coffee this mornin!
Big hugs to you shar! LOL
Mailed a think you note to Geraldine Ferraro this morning and sent a fax to Gov Rendell last night.
Thank you again Fred for the posters (waiting for me yesterday when I got home from work) and for forwarding yesterday’s prowl to me!
Good morning PUMAs. I’ve been up a while now, but I’m just now getting a chance to catch up on all the new stuff and post a comment.
In light of all the ruckus going on in Washington, in the blogosphere and in general, all around the country, I’d say that we PUMAs are making a lot more than just a ripple in the water–we’re making a tidal wave and tipping over boats!
If we weren’t doing something, everyone wouldn’t be fuming mad like they are. It’s no wonder DNC ‘big shots’ are giving orders and trying to unconstitutionally tell others how to vote and not to exercise their rights to free speech. We are doing what’s best for our nation, our families and our children, and we need to keep our heads high and our actions civil but firm.
I am ready to double my efforts to win this battle. We need to strongly oppose those who are desperately trying to quiet us, and we need to voice our support for those delegates and supporters that are strong enough to ‘just say no deal’ and stay behind Our Girl.
I’m dedicating extra time today to write e-mails and fax letters to delegates, and hopefully call some of Hillary’s most prominent supporters to let them know we are behind them 1000% and to not back down. We aren’t backing down either, we’re surging forward with them! Okay, let’s go team. And…..break!
#529 utahpuma – I have both prowls but I don’t know the best way to get them to you since I don’t have your e-mail address.
Bill-K
Thank you so much. You can email me.
jesse seven two seven at live dot com
I don’t know why I didn’t get them. I have all the others, but the last two or three.
Thanks again.
Oh, looks like everyone went upstairs.
See you there!
#534 utahpuma – Thanks. If I got it right, you should have e-mail
I think the more they try to use force to make us support the Precious One, the bigger the loss will be in November.
Force often is met by force.
What is happening in Little Rock?
Rumor Colin Power could be Obama’s VP
Not sure if my post went through, please forgive me if I post twice.
As a life long Democrat, I cannot vote for anyone in the Democratic party, certainty not Obama. I hate the way the leaders of the party and superdelegates destroyed my right to vote. I hate the way they treated Hillary but hate even more the way they treated the whole loyal Democratic party. The only way to fight bullies like this is not to vote for any Democrat, that is the only way to get their attention and rid the party of corrupt thugs.
There is no way any of these corrupt thugs will allow Hillary enough votes at the convention to win. They are appeasing her supporters to get their vote in Nov., that don’t get it with me. This group of sick corrupt slime bags will never again get my support. They want Hillary supporters to fall in line and support Obama…no way ever for me. The only way to rid the party of these lying thieves is to vote all Democrats out in November. John Edwards is a good argument for electing a female president. Right now, my prayers are with John McCain becoming our next president. I just wished he had the strength that Hillary Clinton has. She is by far the strongest and most intelligent person to ever run for president.
