Nine more days Puma PAC. Let’s make them count. The press release and final details for everything Puma in Denver will be released on Monday.

No matter what happens in Denver, Puma PAC will be here on August 29th, with a plan, and ready to move forward effectively and united. (I wish I could tell you right now what the plan is, but we know there are unfriendly eyes watching, and we don’t want to give it away yet, do we? 
)

After tomorrow, my focus, and the focus of the other Puma organizers, will by 1000% Denver Action. We will do everything we can do with whatever we have after tomorrow.

Oh. murphy please remove my name I forgot to blank it out
Good morning, PUMAs,
I think someone was keeping track of the Denver donations yesterday. I just donated $20.00 last night. I know it’s not much, but I hope it will at least buy lunch for a hungry PUMA out in Denver — that is, unless they are charging NYC prices, in which case that amount would only cover a baby snack for an infant!
ROCK ON, VALIANT PUMAs!!

REMOVE MY POST #13,
Murphy, I will donate $50 today.
I wrote an extensive comment minutes ago that was lost in cyberspace again. @#$@!!!
—————-
To watchful eyes who are perusing this blog:
I don’t “obey” Hillary Clinton. I respect, love, admire, and support HER candidacy for the presidency. That’s it. I donated hundreds of dollars from my little teacher’s salary for her, and I shed many more tears when she suspended her campaign. My blood boiled when I saw how she was mistreated by the DNC, the media, and even the other candidates by their amused silence, and this PUMA was born.
I don’t “obey” anyone who tells me to vote for a charlatan for president. I don’t obey rules, laws, suggestions, or encouragements if I believe they are unjust or unfair to our society. I am not in a Hillary Cult of any kind—-this for me has become a revolution to change the corruption of the voting process in our country–something that I thought we had learned lessons from years ago with the mistreatment of African Americans and women.
My vote for ANYONE other than BO is a form of civil disobedience to me. And I have claimed my independence from the Democratic Party as of NOW.
PUMAs may be “small in number” or much larger than anyone can guess.
It took a small group to begin the Revolutionary War.
It took a small lady to lead the armies of France, and another to refuse to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery.
Great things start small.

Hello my puma friends. I’ve a random thought:
I’m one of those who doesn’t pay for television programs. Never have, never will.
Therefore, I will not be able to watch either conventions because the networks no longer cover them gavel-to-gavel. They figure regular programming gets better ratings, I guess. Either that or conventions are boring.
Have a good time without me, all you cable guys.
#40 TerryDo ,
I was hoping you would update the list. Too many doing it at the same time and was starting to get confusing lol
REGARDING THE POSING..
POST THAT YOU WILL CONTRIBUTE THEN WHEN YOUR POST HAS GONE THROUGH, COPY MY POST #40 IE WITH ALL THE CURRENT NAMES AND ADD YOURS.
THEN REPOST WITH YOUR NAME ON IT…

The Obama Overreach: Refuting A Few of Corsi’s Smears By Re-Writing History
August 15, 2008 5:42 PM
Don’t get me wrong – I half expected to see anti-Obama author Jerome Corsi at today’s Bigfoot press conference.
But not everything in the Obama campaign’s 40-page refutation of Corsi’s shoddy and dishonest book “Obama Nation” is fair.
Much of what Corsi writes in his book is demonstrably false, irresponsible, and feverishly conjured. The book is indefensible, as are Corsi’s many bigoted remarks about Arabs, the Pope and others.
But the Obama campaign got a little greedy in their refutations.
First of all, on the front of the response, is a labeled stamped “Brought to you by Bush/Cheney Attack Machine.”
Corsi has actually called for the impeachment of President Bush. Corsi’s a 9/11 Truther who thinks the Bush administration is covering up what “really” happened at the World Trade Center. It’s not fair to blame this nasty screed on the President.
One item the Obama campaign labels a “LIE” is the claim that when Obama ran for state senator, “(i)nstead of stepping aside in deference to (then-state senator Alice) Palmer, Obama decided to fight her for the nomination.”
This is not a lie, this is true.. Palmer had decided to run for Congress, and Obama was tapped to run to replace her. When Palmer lost in the primary, she wanted to stay as a state senator. Obama said no. He had every right to do so, but he decided to fight her for the nomination instead of stepping aside in deference to her.
Nonetheless, the Obama campaign calls it a lie and quotes a state representative who said Palmer “pulled her own plug”
Read more about what really happened HERE in the Chicago Tribune.
Speculating about how Obama ended up using the words of Gov. Deval Patrick in some of his speeches, Corsi speculates that Obama strategist David “Axelrod most likely liked how the speech worked with his client in Massachusetts and so decided to try it once again with Obama, perhaps thinking no one would notice.”
Corsi has no way of knowing that, but the Obama campaign’s response — “REALITY: PLAGIARISM ATTACK WAS A “BASELESS AND DESPERATE PLOY” – is over the top.
As backup, the Obama campaign points out that writing in The Nation, Ari Melber wrote that “The Clinton Campaign’s attack on Obama’s use of the line ‘just words’ was widely panned as a baseless and desperate ploy. Her coverup might go over even worse.”
But that’s one man’s opinion.
Certainly it’s not “baseless” to question why Obama was using Patrick’s words as his own without crediting him, as we wondered about HERE.
Whatever you think of the incident, it doesn’t belong alongside the more unhinged Corsi smears, however much the Obama campaign would like it to be considered a non-event.
In another refutation, Corsi’s assertion that Obama adviser Air Force General Merrill ‘Tony’ McPeak (Ret.) has “anti-Israel views” is characterized by the Obama campaign as “SMEARING MCPEAK AS AN ANTI-SEMITE.”
Obviously holding anti-Israel views and being an anti-Semite are not the same thing (though they often go hand in hand.) But more to the point, plenty of Israel supporters have thought McPeak’s views on Israel — in which he seemed to blame the stalled Mideast peace process on “pro-Israel” voters in New York and Miami – as highly inflammatory.
Again, I’m not defending Corsi. Much of what he writes is troubling and fictional. But that doesn’t mean that the Obama campaign shouldn’t hew closer to the truth.
And yes, I do have higher expectations of them.

#164 Henrietta from last thread -
I could no longer even attempt to find the article that someone posted – however – basically the DNC took away a Clinton delegate and replaced them with an Obama delegate – law suit pending – whoever the poster was gave two email addresses to write and complain – I already did – would be great since you said you have relatives living in Kentucky (I am in Arizona) to send them an email protesting what was done – jhorton@kydemocrats.com and info@kydemocrats.com – HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT BIRTHDAY present from Hillary -

I wanted to post this again.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) — Fighting between Clinton and Obama supporters continues in Kentucky, as WHAS11 News has learned that Hillary Clinton supporters in Kentucky have filed an official protest with the national Democratic Party.
The complaint alleges that a Hillary Clinton delegate to the national convention was replaced with a Barack Obama supporter, in violation of the party’s rules.
The state party removed Todd Hollenbach, a delegate who supports Clinton, and replaced him with Ruth Ann Palumbo, who supports Obama.
The state party made the change because the DNC requires gender equity at the national convention.
The complaint says that the Kentucky Democratic Party broke the rules when it balanced the gender of the delegate count by replacing a male Clinton supporter with a female Obama supporter.
Delegate Todd Hollenbach was replaced by Ruth Ann Palumbo. Hollenbach supports Clinton, while Palumbo is an Obama supporter.

Hmmmmm-I have looked up alot of the info presented to get another viewpoint…I do alot of research on articles. Yes, they are lengthy and they enjoy writing, but the core of the articles are factual to a great degree.
Probably what may turn some off is that the writers’ (on the majority) appear to be conservatives.
In my humble opinion.
Thanks Trish!
I was just reflecting on how the Democratic establishment chose to blow off their base and go with moveon.org’s big money. My question for Howie and Nancy is -How’s it working out for ya???

Gallup Daily: McCain, Obama Tied at 44%
Just wanted to let PUMAS know:
Last night a friend of mine and I were out passing out flyers and in 5 hours we ran into 21 people who knew about “Pumapac” and the JustSayNo Coalition.
All had read the blog and several had downloaded info off of the Action area to use to get the word out. All of them said that they WILL NOT VOTE Obama, if Hillary is not the Nominee.
This has been the pattern every weekend we do our flyer handout. We have focused on getting more people to write to the DNC regarding their opposition and requesting Hillary’s name be in nomination.
So, for all of you that do not make yourselves known or are not wanting recognition – Thanks!
#62 EWard,
Thank you, I just sent them an email voicing my strong opinion.
#66 1gypsy4mc
lol good, because I’m happy to hear your opinion. Just because I don’t like them doesn’t mean others won’t like them.
I have several things to say to “watchful eyes reading the blog”
Nothing will make me vote for BO, I am not impressed with his experience, I don’t care what politicians say I care what they do.
While I hoped to vote for Hillary she does not own my vote. I am not a sheep.
Since the ONC/DNC has a “new Coalition of voters” stop calling me for money.
They hold rigged votes with predetermined outcomes in Iran, Cuba, China, the Soviet Union. If you hold a rigged vote at the convention you are no different than the dictators and tyrants who run those countries.
It would take an idiot to think the Democrats or BO are champions of women’s rights and issues after you spent the entire primary telling you extremely qualified and experienced female candidate to sit down and shut up because her success could embarrass the unqualified male candidate or even divide the party.
When BO loses the general election it will be his fault and the fault of his supporters who alienated so many. It will in no way be Hillary’s fault for having the audacity to run and earn 18 million votes.
The “alleged sexism” by the media and the Democrat establishment during the primary has caused me to leave the party. You have seriously damaged your credibility.
Putting Hillary’s name in nomination will not make me vote for BO, nothing will. You have already thrown away this election year. But if you continue to damage you reputation for democratic process you will be throwing away the future too.

I was just catching up reading the blogs from yesterday and something you said caught my attention about ny puma. I always had a funny feeling about ny puma posts also. It was funny when you said something like “I’ve been reading your posts with interest the past few days and they’ve become more anti-Hillary”. What ny puma had been doing from the beginning was post anti-Hillary stuff, followed by one or 2 nice posts about her…then back to the anti-Hillary stuff, then back to being nice as if to cover their track from being detected. They always say to trust your gut instinct…and in this case it proved right. YOU DID GOOD NYCgirl in standing up to ny puma who probably wasn’t a New Yorker in the first place!
Hey y’all, another good morning!
… since the blog clogs, what do you think about posting just individual contributions as they are made?
Whadda ya think?
STATE PLEDGED DELEGATES
#81 anonymous
I posted here yesterday what Ed Rendell said on FOX, that delegates are not obligated to vote for anyone. Well, in PA, that’s true; but in states like CA, OR, GA, NH… delegates must follow their candidates into the convention, per state law. EVERYTIME EACH OF YOU DISCUSSES WHAT’S GOING ON FROM NOW UNTIL THE CONVENTION, MENTION THIS. According to the article, HRC is losing state delegates. How is that? BO’s people – not the DNC – have been writing letters to delegates in every state, asking them to fill out questionnaires disclosing personal information, threatening to humiliate them if they refuse. Even HRC delegates, pledged, in states whose laws require them to vote for her through the first roll call at the convention.
If BO’s people are so confident HRC will lose, why are they fighting so dirty, in every state in the country, to win?

Well, we still go about things the same way…I don’t like to just believe in anything I read. If I did, I’d be on a different site!! lol
Everyone here researches and prepares info to pass along to others – no bull crap – just facts!!
By the way – if XO and McCain are tied at 44%, guess who is the other 12% – PUMAs!!

Thanks for your support! I notice that the poster never did verify his/her alleged NY status. I thought it was a cover to make it look more like they were a real Hillary backer. NOTE TO TROLLS: We New Yorkers can tell imposters a mile away!
Anyway, we all need to be aware of infiltrators who will do anything they can to throw us off. Thanks again to all who jumped on that one!

Oh my heavens this brought tears to my eyes. It just reminds me of how for so many centuries women have been suffering at the hands of men trying to keep us down. My favorite quote of all time has been,
Scarlett’s “I’ll think about that tomorrow.”
PUMAs I have not liked the subdued, sad, and sullen posts in the past 24 hours. We accomplished great things…….Hillary’s name is in nomination, she will have her roll call, the Democrats have recognized PUMA PAC and other groups a force to be reckoned with. We can’t take this victory and make it into a defeat.
We MUST lift our fists to the skies and like Scarlett
O Hara say, “AS GOD AS MY WITNESS, I WILL NEVER BE HUNGRY AGAIN.”
We have great support here in this blog. We MUST lift each other up, and NOT allow the MSM to drag us down with their dribble. NO matter the outcome at the convention, “WE” must be proud of all we have accomplished. OUR 18 MILLION VOICES HAVE BEEN HEARD, AND OUR 18 MILLION VOTES WILL BE CAST IN NOV.
As Helen Reddy says in her song “I AM Woman”…
I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an’ pretend
’cause I’ve heard it all before
And I’ve been down there on the floor
No one’s ever gonna keep me down again
Oh yes I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
You can bend but never break me
’cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
’cause you’ve deepened the conviction in my soul
I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin’ arms across the land
But I’m still an embryo
With a long long way to go
Until I make my brother understand
Oh yes I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
Oh, I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman
(all allocolades to Helen Reddy my 70’s Hero)
Hillary and all of us have learned from this process. Win or Lose, we have gained the knowledge to be prepared for the future plights. One very inspiring, intelligent, phenomenal woman said, “I AM IN IT TO WIN IT!” Winning comes at a price, and sometimes we actually win although it appears it is a loss.
Come on PUMAs..get on the prowl and inspire your readers, fellow members and bloggers the way you did ME, to make me want to join and be a part of this amazing organization.
For 3 days there were no U.S.P.S. solicitations from ‘The Party’ at my home. Could they finally have gotten my drift? NAH. Today I received Madame Speaker’s 10 Week Countdown Calendar. It begins with the August 28 block which says: Barack Obama Accepts the Democratic Nomination. For August 29 it says: John McCain’s 72nd Birthday.
Therefore, voters can choose no experience or a 72 year old Republican. Madame Speaker, we can do better than that, can’t we? Whatever were you thinking when you made the initial decision to deep-six Hillary?
Fortunately for the well-being of this great country, it is not too late to bring her back. As for the $150 bucks you hoped I could rush back to DCCC, I’ve spent it elsewhere. Some went directly to campaigns for Schwarz, Murtha, Carney, Kanjorski, O’Reilly, and yes – - even CIndy Sheehan. Quite a lot went to the PUMA PAC and The Denver Group. It all could have been ‘yours’, Madame Speaker, but you as well as most of the party went unDemocratic and that problem has to be fixed before any other concerns are addressed.

REPOST FROM DOWNSTAIRS
URGENT OBAMA CAMP MEMO LEAKED GREAT READING!
Axelrod Memo To Staffers: We’ve Got Trouble
The following memo was leaked to Pajamas Media anonymously from a server tracked to a hotel in downtown Denver.
BEGIN DOCUMENT
MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 13, 2008
TO: The Inner Circle, The Disciples
SUBJECT: That hateful partisan story in today’s Rocky Mountain News
From the Desk of David Axelrod
Chief Media Consultant
Obama for America 2008
Hey guys,
We’ve got trouble.
Somehow media hack Kevin Vaughn found out about The One’s requirement that those who wish to hear Him give His acceptance speech must put in six hours of “volunteer” work. Here’s what one of our devotees was quoted saying.
“My whole reason why I’m so mad about it is because Democrats need to act like Democrats,” said Heather Kreider, a working mother from Centennial.
“Democrats work for a living, and they have to work and take care of their families. And they say these are open to those in the community, so they shouldn’t ask people to drop everything in their lives for this,” Kreider said Tuesday.
“It’s not fair. It’s elitist. And they need to practice what they’re preaching,” she added.
You can see the whole story but it’s just more of the same. We look bad, and The One doesn’t look good either.
Worse, Vaughn claims that “Arbeit macht tickets” won’t even guarantee a ticket, just a shot at getting one. Is that right? This was Hildrebrand’s idea wasn’t it? Brilliant! (Way better than that stupid “viral” hand gesture thing Patti came up with. Like a giant vagina is going to help us with the white male vote. Send her back to the Clintons, ASAP.) How many extra workers will we get for those tix? Two for each? Three? But it sure doesn’t make us look good now that it’s gotten out. We’ve got to get things cleared up, pronto. If that means losing some “volunteers,” then so be it. Also, this is going to require a BIG press offensive, and I want nothing but facts out there this time, OK?
I’ve come up with three points. Don’t deviate.
DETAIL: It is NOT true that devotees who want a picture of The One must rake his lawn. That’s only if they want it autographed. But don’t mention that last part. Also don’t mention that thing with the yard signs we had printed up in China. Who knew how flammable those were going to be? Anyway, stick to the denial, and don’t elaborate under any condition. The Boss has gotten into trouble doing just that (remember His promise to meet all those dictators?); we don’t need to make more trouble for Him.
DENY: Not every DNC attendee will have to detail His car. Just the ones who insist on wearing stupid hats and anything in excess of three (tastefully sized; see my 4/20/08 memo) lapel pins. It’s also not true Clinton delegates will be forced to park their cars right next to the Designated Protest Pen. The Clintons caught wind of that idea when Plouffe first floated it – find that mole! – and so now we’ve got to let BOTH of them speak during His convention. The Democratic Party doesn’t belong to the Clintons anymore, and we can’t give them any chances to make people forget that it’s ours.
DISTRACT: Those gun-toting religious nuts at Focus on the Family down in Colorado Springs stepped in it, too. They had an announcement on their website asking all their people to “pray for rain” on the night of The One’s big speech. Remind the cattle, gently, that Mile High isn’t a dome, and do they really want to get their nice hair and suits wet? The fuss got so bad at Focus that they took down the page. Tell the cattle – er, press – to “focus” on THAT. (ABC News is already carrying water for us on this one. If you thought The Note was in the bag for Lurch in ‘04, wait’ll you see what Rick Klein has hinted he’ll do for US in the next 90 days.
Remember, it’s vital we keep a lid on this. I don’t want to see this all over the web tomorrow. The Clintons are paying dearly for their own leaked memos at The Atlantic, and that’s not the kind of trouble we need this close to His ascension.
Stick to the script!

Couple Of Questions: In his memoir, Obama says he saw his biological father (who died in a 1982 car accident) only once (in 1971) after his parents divorced that would have made Obama 21 years old when his father died. http://www.biography.com/featured-biography/barack-obama/index.jsp Was Obama legally adopted by Lolo Soetoro?. Can someone provide a link stating Obama was adopted by Lolo Soetoro. Did Obama’s father give up his parential rights, did he give up his rights with any other of Obama’s siblings?. How was Lolo Soetoro and Indonesian allowed to adopt an American citizen? Was Obama’s name changed legally in Hawaii, or Indonesian? Is Obama running as President under his legal name

Good Morning PUMA Family,
This is posted downstairs by PUMA family. I’m posting the whole news here, It is worth reading, NOBAMA is unraveling at the seams. I become suspicious of NOBAMA before the primary, there’s something about him that remind me so much of the hell I’d been through for almost 20 years. To some people, NOBAMA is like a breath of fresh air, to me he is old news – I’ve seen so many like him, I can’t throw a rock without hitting one of them. NOBAMA IS A CORRUPT POLITICIAN, CORRUPT TO THE BONE AND DANGEROUS. He talk with FORKED TONGUE, he makes you feel like shit, then lifts you up and make his self the Messiah, that he is your only salvation. I’ve heard that before in another country where I grew up; the man who talk like NOBAMA became our biggest TYRANT, killed thousands of people execution style. When NOBAMA voted for FISA it brought chills down my spine. He knows what he was doing, he wanted to make sure he CAN SPY on us; his vote on FISA is a precursor what he is going to do if the American people are foolish enough to vote for him. All the SIGNS ARE OUT THERE NOW.

Obama Confirms Relationship with CPUSA Member
By Cliff Kincaid Saturday, August 16, 2008
With the release of a 40-page “Unfit for Publication” report attacking Jerome Corsi’s new book, The Obama Nation, it should be obvious that the media-backed presidential candidate, Barack Obama, is terrified of having his carefully concealed communist and foreign connections exposed to public view.
However, the Obama campaign’s attack on Corsi’s book and Corsi personally acknowledges on pages 9 and 10 of its report that the mysterious “Frank” in Obama’s 1995 book, Dreams From My Father, is in fact the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) member Frank Marshall Davis. This identification by AIM and others hasn’t been disputed by the media, which has desperately tried to ignore the Obama-Davis relationship, but the Obama campaign has not responded to it until now.
The admission that Obama’s mentor was Frank Marshall Davis, an identified CPUSA member, can only add to growing public concern about Obama’s relationship with a Communist pawn of Moscow who was the subject of security investigations by the FBI and various congressional committees which examined Soviet activities in the U.S.
According to these official documents, cited first by AIM and also by Corsi in his book, Davis was a secret CPUSA member who became a member of an underground communist apparatus in Hawaii. As late as the 1970s, Davis was involved with a CPUSA front organization, the American Committee for Protection of Foreign Born, dedicated to keeping foreign communists such as labor leader Harry Bridges from being deported from the U.S. Davis, a friend of Bridges, a secret CPUSA member, became Obama’s mentor during the years 1975-1979.
But the Obama report makes no admission that Davis was a communist and doesn’t dispute anything Corsi documents about Davis’s membership in the Communist Party. Instead, the report picks and chooses from Obama’s book in order to try to put some distance between Obama and Davis. The report attempts to play down instances in which Obama soaks up Davis’s anti-American thoughts and pro-communist “poetry.”
But if the relationship were so innocent, why didn’t Obama identify Frank by his full name in his book and denounce his communist and anti-American views? Why doesn’t he denounce those views now?
At this point, it is clear that Corsi is to Obama what the National Enquirer is to admitted adulterer and liar John Edwards. The Enquirer exposed Edwards secret life when the rest of the media were refusing to investigate the candidate and making fun of the Enquirer.
It is noteworthy that the Obama campaign’s “Unfit for Publication” report begins with citing negative “reviews” of the Corsi book from various publications, including the New York Times, Washington Post, and Time magazine. The media are angry and jealous because Corsi did the heavy lifting that the media refuse to do.
While Obama’s communist and foreign connections are of serious and ongoing concern, Corsi’s treatment of Obama’s admitted drug use has emerged as a special raw nerve for the Obama campaign and his media acolytes. They realize that many Americans, whose families have been decimated and destroyed by illegal drugs, may recoil at the thought of having an admitted user of marijuana and cocaine occupy the oval office.
The Attack Begins
Acting on information provided by a left-wing group known as Media Matters, which functions as an unofficial arm of the Democratic Party, the New York Times attacked Corsi for charging that Obama has “yet to answer” whether he ever dealt drugs and when he stopped, if indeed he ever did. The Times protested that Obama has answered that charge, at least the part about quitting marijuana and cocaine, by saying that he hasn’t used drugs since he was 20 years old.
So why did Corsi raise the subject when it supposedly has been put to rest? It’s because, as an experienced investigative reporter, he knows that a few perfunctory denials, which could be expected from someone running for office, do not constitute any form of proof or convincing answer that he in fact ever did quit drugs. As Corsi has suggested in defending his book’s account of Obama’s admitted drug use, self-reporting by drug users about when they quit is notoriously unreliable. Every drug addict claims to have quit at one time or another. That’s what drug testing is all about.
Joyce Nalepka, president of Drug-Free Kids: America’s Challenge, points out that recovering cocaine addicts say that the high from cocaine is so intense that you never stop wanting it. She points to the case of former Washington, D.C. Mayor Marion Barry, who was caught twice using cocaine. Barry was caught in one case as a result of a police sting and another because of court-ordered drug testing.
Don’t you believe Obama when he says he quit drugs? “No,” replied Nalepka. “And I didn’t believe Mayor Barry either.”
The Soros Connection
However, she does believe that, if Obama is elected, his backers in the drug legalization movement funded by billionaire George Soros will press for legalization of marijuana, cocaine and other dangerous drugs. Soros is a big backer of Obama and has contributed financially to his campaign.
During the Reagan Administration, Nalepka served as the president of the anti-drug group that Nancy Reagan served as honorary chair. She warns that Obama has “voted for at least two pro-legalization [of marijuana] bills” and that drug legalization advocates are spreading the word that Obama will not support federal enforcement of federal marijuana arrests. She said a questionnaire, which includes the question, “Do you support keeping drug possession, dealing and trafficking a crime?,” has not been answered by the Obama campaign. John McCain, on the other hand, vows to “uphold the law,” she says.
When she made several calls trying to find out what happened to the questionnaire, an Obama staff member said that the appropriate official would call “within the hour.” But that was “weeks ago,” Nalepka says.
Even if Obama took and passed a drug test, Nalepka says she would never vote for him, explaining, “It appalls me at the thought that people would be naïve enough to vote for someone who admits drug use.” She says this view stems from 30 years of “watching parents wail and cry and talk about the hell their families went through” because of marijuana, cocaine and other drugs.
“I would never vote for an elected official who was ever a drug user,” she tells AIM. “We have to get this country back to being an honorable nation with honorable people running it.”
But the views of Nalepka and others in the campaign against illegal drugs have been ignored by media anxious to accept Obama’s word that he has quit dangerous mind-altering drugs.
Nalepka is concerned that progress that has been made is at risk. “We worked long and hard to close those drug paraphernalia shops in the 1980s and long and hard again to get student drug testing in the schools so we could get drugs out of the schools,” she said. “And we’re going to allow someone to come in to the White House of the United States of America who was a drug user?”
Corsi’s account of Obama’s drug use is apparently one of many “lies” that an official Obama campaign spokesman has alleged to be in the book. The Times story defending Obama against Corsi’s book was followed by a Washington Post story attacking the author. The liberal media have been forced to take note of the book because it has become number one on the New York Times bestseller list.
The Davis Connection
Regarding the Davis-Obama relationship, now confirmed by the Obama campaign, the Post, as well as its “conservative” competitor, the Washington Times, recently ran a dishonest Associated Press story that portrayed Davis as a positive influence on Obama who had no affiliation with the CPUSA. This was the real lie.
Prior to that, the only time the Post came close to mentioning Davis was after I held a May 22 news briefing on the subject and Post reporter Dana Milbank attended and then attacked our event without mentioning that the main subject was none other than Frank Marshall Davis. Of course, dishonest coverage like this helps explain why Corsi’s book is meeting a pent-up demand for facts about the candidate and is so successful. The American people understand that they are not getting the truth about Obama from the mainstream media.
Another line of attack—that Corsi is doing the bidding of the Republican Party and the John McCain campaign—makes no sense because Corsi writes very critically of McCain and is a member of the Constitution Party, which is fielding its own presidential candidate, Chuck Baldwin, this fall. Plus, Corsi’s editor at WorldNetDaily, where he writes regularly, is Joseph Farah, whose book, None of the Above, argues against Obama and McCain.
The pro-Obama media emphasize that the Corsi book is published by Simon & Schuster’s Threshold Editions, whose main editor is former GOP strategist Mary Matalin. The 40-page Obama report dishonestly claims the Corsi book is “brought to you by the Bush/Cheney Attack Machine.” But it is clearly the case that Corsi and Farah are independent conservatives who have no allegiance to the GOP. Corsi has written articles and even a book attacking the Bush/Cheney Administration’s secretive Security and Prosperity Partnership, a forerunner for an emerging North American Union.
Corsi has written a book on Obama for the obvious reason that little is known about the Democratic candidate, and there is no evidence that the major media are interested in uncovering or publicizing the hidden facts about him. On the other hand, the media are doing a good job covering McCain’s controversial connections, such as his ties to lobbyists for foreign countries.
Post reporter Eli Saslow writes that the Corsi book “lacks major revelations.” Wouldn’t it be nice if the Post let us decide that for ourselves? Why not run a true and accurate story about Frank Marshall Davis and let the readers decide? But Saslow must figure that such a story would only hurt the media’s candidate.
Saslow let the truth slip: “Until recently, he [Obama] had the luxury of presenting his story alone.” Since when should a presidential candidate have the ability to present his own story without critical comment and investigation by the media? And especially on the subject of admitted use of marijuana and cocaine and connections to communists? But that has been the case with Obama, and that is why Corsi is being attacked.
Larry King as Obama Puppet
As part of the campaign to destroy Corsi, some reporters have dredged up some controversial comments he posted on a website that people found objectionable. CNN’s Larry King, with the help of a “progressive” from Media Matters named Paul Waldman, tried this and other tactics on his show on Wednesday night. They are just a diversion from the substance of the book. King found Corsi guilty of “false” claims against Obama even before he introduced Corsi on the show.
On the other hand, King identified Waldman as being from “A progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing and correcting conservative misinformation in the United States media.” This is how the organization, which has significant links to the Democratic Party, describes itself. It started out as a front for Hillary Clinton but is now spending most of its time defending Obama.
It is interesting to note that the title of the official Obama campaign report on Corsi, “Unfit for Publication,” was an actual headline over a previous Media Matters account of Corsi’s book. In attacking AIM’s reporting on the costs of Obama’s Global Poverty Act, the Obama report also cites misleading charges from Media Matters (Jonathon Moseley addresses this controversy in the August-B AIM Report.) So it is obvious that the Obama campaign and Media Matters are colluding.
These pathetic attacks will probably generate more interest in the book. And once people read the book, they will only have more questions and suspicions about Obama and his powerful media machine.

#125 Storytellers
That story about the Axelrod memo is a hoax. The funny thing is that it is almost believable. LOL
Bob Casey, Sr., was denied a speaking role at Bill Clinton’s nominating convention, but not for the reasons the media states. Is it any wonder that his son (Bob Casey Jr) is also anti-Clinton?
http://mediamatters.org/items/200808150014?f=h_top
Sixteen years later, media still peddle Bob Casey myth
Here’s all you need to know in order to know with absolute certainty that Casey’s views on abortion were not the reason he was not given a speaking role: that very same Democratic convention featured speeches by at least eight people who shared Casey’s anti-choice position, including Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley Jr., Sens. John Breaux and Howell Heflin, and five governors.
It should be noted that it wasn’t merely that Casey hadn’t gotten around to endorsing Clinton. He was arguing that Clinton had only a “flyspeck” of support and that the party should consider nominating someone else at the convention.
It’s also important to keep in mind that Casey didn’t merely want to speak at the convention. He wanted to devote his entire speech to opposing the Democratic Party on a single issue. After the convention ended, Casey released the text of the speech he would have delivered had he been given the chance. The speech ran more than 1,000 words — and not one of those words was “Clinton.” Nor was the word “Gore” mentioned. Casey’s speech did not include a single word of praise or support for the ticket being nominated at the convention he wanted to address. Instead, it accused the party of being “far out of the mainstream and on the extreme fringe” on abortion. That’s what the entire speech was about: disagreeing with, and insulting, the Democratic Party on abortion.
Dances: Will do
#100 Nobama Network I’m not sure about it either; however, any bad press he gets is o.k. with me. They’ve done enough damage to Hillary.
Ricki Lieberman (EW) sent me e-mails for 18 of the Florida supersto contact. She sends you only 18 so you can continue to call and write them up until the convention.
JBJD Have you gotten to the Florida delegate list yet?

Thank you for your donation
You may think it is not a large amount but for someone like me who cannot donate and wishes I could, it is a huge huge amount.

#134 You are probably right; however, it is so on point that I can believe it, sounds like something Axelrod would say.

I THINK I FIGURED OUT HOW BO AND THE DNC ARE RIGGING THE NOMINATION
I posted yesterday that I saw Ed Rendell on Neil Cavuto, rejecting NC’s proposition that HRC could still win if enough delegates changed their minds, with this statement: ‘That’s not going to happen; delegates can vote for anyone they want and they will vote for BO. We haven’t had a robot rule since the 1980 Kennedy Carter convention.’ After seeing this on t.v., I began posting here to remind you PUMAs that some states require, by law, that “pledged” delegates must vote for their candidate at least through the first round of voting at the convention. I warned you the DNC was engaging in a campaign of misinformation aimed at state delegates, who may or may not know what is the law in their states, to get them to think voting for HRC would be useless. I urged you to get word to state delegates, hold your vote.
Today, I started thinking, what if “robot rule” was actually a term of art? (Anna 7000, you might want to repost my previous comment on what that means.) So, I looked it up. And, sure enough, it is.
http://cassandra2004.blogspot.com/2008/02/open-convention-ted-kennedy-1980-dnc.html
And then it hit me. BO is spending this week spreading misinformation to get state delegates – not the supers – to change their votes. We have to try to stop him. Normally, this ‘shepherding’ of delegates is done by the candidate; BO has been in touch with delegates in each state. But HRC cannot do this now. So we have to.
Murphy, MamaPUMA, or Maryland PUMA, please get in touch with me. This needs to be a prowl.
My Contribution for Denver, its not much but I hope it will help our PUMA family.

I’m one of us who lives month to month on a small Soc Sec stipend, but I figured it never lasts anyway so I might as well put something toward something I believe in besides my survival.

TOPIC: Obama / Muskie: History Repeats itself
From wickilpedia, a similar thing could happen to Obama if there’s a tape out there somewhere of Michelle:
“Subsequently, the paper published an attack on the character of Muskie’s wife Jane, reporting that she drank and used off-color language during the campaign. Muskie made an emotional defense of his wife in a speech outside the newspaper’s offices during a snowstorm. Though Muskie later stated that what had appeared to the press as tears were actually melted snowflakes, the press reported that Muskie broke down and cried, shattering the candidate’s image as calm and reasoned.”

#148 hillstheone – Rezko
Yes, I went to the Chicago Tribune archive and read their stories about the relationship. I was disappointed that the MSM didn’t bother to follow up on the story. Are you referring to the Andy Martin book? I’ve been trying to get it at my library (usually right on top of new books) , but can’t find any anti Obama books in their catalog. Going to the library today to see if I can find them.

PAYPAL sucks. That’s why I just sent a check in snail mail instead.
Even just now, because of today’s fundraising, I tried to donate & asked to have my password reset. It put me on a never-ending loop asking me to verify the SAME info over & over (including debit card number). Finally gave up, it starts feeling too lame.
BigCatLover
thanks for Bop-O-Rama
I needed that
Hi BigCatLover!
Yes you posted about Rezko a looong time ago, you are one diligent PUMA!
I’ll try to stop by the bookstore & look at a copy of that new book, see if there’s any Rezko stuff in there & post tonight.

Can’t take credit for the bop-o-rama, it was posted by someone else on the previous thread. Glad you liked it. I sent it to my grandson.
Can’t afford Denver, but I sent $50 via snail mail yesterday to help defray your costs. For anyone attending, please be careful. Our prayers are with you all.

BigCatLover,
It felt so good to bop BO! Thanks, I feel better now.
http://rezkowatch.blogspot.com/
jbjd – Per post #77, why aren’t these letters you’re referring to being printed in the press? Written documentation of the kind of harrassment, including pressure to break the law, is powerful. And if it’s as widespread as you’re suggesting, I would think it would be a powerful issue for the press to look at.
Just made my donation.
God bless all who are sacrificing grocery money for this cause.
Donation – Confermation # zeu990zn – etc, etc.
Also, Murphy. Listened to the radio show last night. You were wonderful. I don’t know how you keep so calm when those “nut cases” call into the program.
TOPIC: My Dream of Obama
Yes, it’s true! After so many dreams of Hillary in the White House, here’s what I dreamed about Obama last night.
I was w/a group of people and I was dozing (in the dream, sleeping like a true bot). When I came to, everyone was saying ‘We’re going to hear Obama!” I said wtf? But it was too late, I was already w/them at an ampitheater. Front row, on the stage (worshipping at his feet, do doubt)!
Again I said to myself wtf, but then I thought ‘Hey, this is cool. I can ask him anything I want right to his face, alrighty then…”
So as we were waiting for him to begin speaking, he started passing out handouts to the audience. I went and got one, and it just said “for coloring.” I said wtf, “for coloring?!” Put it down.
There was another flyer going around so I got one of those. It showed a diagram of the place, and a sign “Lost & Found” and someone had written “Staff” over it and “Exit.” Like Obama’s staff was not only lost, but being asked to exit!
Woke up & laughed. Guess it means O’s bots are the “lost & found” type! “Identity crisis – who am I?!!”
They like coloring & koolaid, so maybe they’re not all bad…
Howard Dean is now using race and gender card against McCain. This is TOTALLY shameful!
ROTFLMAO…
HEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLP CA PUMA’S!!!
I did the math this morning and to mail out letters to all the pledge delegates in CA who support Clinton would cost well over $100, which I cannot afford. If anyone else is in the same boat, maybe we could divvy up the list. I know it would have less impact (with delegates receiving one letter where there might have been 2 or 3), but I cannot pay for that many stamps at this point. I’m not kidding when I say I’m really tapped out. I’ve spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars I don’t have over these past many months and I’m really hitting the bottom of the bucket. If you respond to this please post a heading that will make your post easy to spot since I’m really busy today and won’t have a lot of time to read posts and such…
Thanks.

My printer has been broken and I can’t fax, so when we send snail mail or faxes, I just email. My voice still gets heard.
Hillstheone, tell me about it. I was working with two credit card numbers, two email addresses and one AOL…Yikes!!!
Just came back from a little local country fair.
I visited the Republican’s booth. Exchanged a few niceties and got a red, white and blue ribbon/pin.
Then I visited the Democrat’s booth, showed them the pin I got from the Republicans. I pointed the the picture of *61 and told them that they had better have something better to offer “than THAT” because I would NEVER vote for NoBama.
I came away with a new fly-swatter.
Sweet.

CA PUMA’S
Following up on my post #186, wondering if we could somehow coordinate getting each of out letters or flyers to one person who could then mail them in a 9×12 envelope and we could all share the cost of mailing (assuming it broke down to less than 45 cents per stamp per person). I could go to the PO today and weigh a 9×12 envelope with 4 sheets of paper on the scale and get a cost estimate if anyone thought this idea was doable.
My husband is going to figure out how to use the info from the data base to format it to print labels. But, then that also means the cost of labels and buying the 9×12 envelopes, so, in the end, it may not be any cheaper than mailing out our own letters, but it’s a thought and I’d be willing to coordinate it (ie, get the envelopes, deal with making labels, get your letters, etc.)

good afternoon see everyone’s been busy today. Gotta catch up on all these post.
IF NOBAMA pulls in $51 million in the month of July and DNC pulled in $27.7 million, how come they’re short of money for the convention? The DNC had to cancel over 2 dozen parties for delegates and superdelegates due to shortage of cash. Something doesn’t add up here.

And here we are PUMAs with total money from June to July around $50,000.00 have accomplished MORE than their millions of dollars! That says a LOT we know how to spend our contribution to the organization WISELY.
I just posted this on Heidi Li Potpourri (or the Denver Group), which has focused on getting HRC into nomination. Maybe she can help us, too.

Today, I started thinking, what if “robot rule” was actually a term of art? (Anna 7000, you might want to repost my previous comment on what that means.) So, I looked it up. And, sure enough, it is.
http://cassandra2004.blogspot.com/2008/02/open-convention-ted-kennedy-1980-dnc.html
And then it hit me. BO is spending this week spreading misinformation to get state delegates – not the supers – to change their votes. We have to try to stop him. Normally, this ’shepherding’ of delegates is done by the candidate; BO has been in touch with delegates in each state. But HRC cannot do this now. So we have to.
#141 jbjd:
Am I understanding you correctly to say:
1) The “robot rule” is a strategy and a tactic (“an artform) and not a RULE. It is invoked to put backroom “pressure” on delegates to vote differently than their state rules or original primary vote – which represents their state’s or district votes for HRC.
2) That, although Rendell is appearing to denounce use of the “robot rule” for Clinton’s chances – Obama is actually using it to coerce Clinton’s primary committed delegates and those delegates required by state law to keep their vote for Clinton at the convention?
3) You are proposing a PROWL to a) Inform Delegates of their obligations by state law, as well as their rights to maintain their Clinton delegate votes; and, b) the Obama camp is utilizing the very “robot rule” scenario that Rendell and pundits are trying to downplay/denounce?

big cat lover – thanks for your post. i’m talking about contacting the pledged delegates, not the sd’s. and the data base for the pledged delegates only has snail mail addresses, so it leaves little room for other modes of communcation, unfortunately.
#201 Asian4hillary
See my post #674 on the 10 Day Countdown .
I do not believe BO’s numbers are out for July yet.
EXPLANATION RE ROBOT RULE
Headclunker
If HRC pledged delegates switch their votes on the first roll call to BO, not realizing their state laws require them to stick with her, how many delegate votes do you think she really has as this point? Why don’t you look up the current pledged delegate counts and post them here.
The DNC model rules once required that pledged delegates had to follow their candidates (“robot rule”). The current rules now require pledged delegates to use their best judgment to represent the will of the voters. So, they could say that while HRC voters put them in, these voters have since changed their minds and now want BO. This means, if there is no law in their state requiring them to stick to the candidate whose voters put them into office then, they can change their votes with impunity. However, to get the delegates pledged to HRC in states with laws that require them to stick with her through the first round, the way to get them to change their votes is to pretend these laws do not exist; and that BO is the inevitable nominee so they should vote for him.

3) You are proposing a PROWL to a) Inform Delegates of their Obligations by State Law, State Democratic Party Rules, as well as their rights to maintain their Clinton delegate votes; and, b) Inform delegates that the Obama camp is utilizing the very “robot rule” scenario that Rendell and pundits are trying to downplay/denounce?
jbjd – i love all of your help. but it’s also wierd how often i and others wind up including in responses, comments like, “is this what you mean?” it’s frustrating. there’s often some bit of jargon or some bit of info that’s not clear that renders much of your post useless in terms of being able to pick up the ball and run with it. re: your most recent post: so, what is it we can do? what solid ground have we to stand on, what do we point to, to do this someone unclear thing you’re suggesting we do?
not trying to be confrontational, but it’s just curious that your posts seem to leave a lot of us scrammbling to do something, but no quite sure what. it leave me frustrated cause i’m as spent as the next puma and it’s getting down to hours remaining.

#205 jbjd – Robot rule
Whew, that was a right wing site, but interesting about Kennedy and Joe Trippi (of John Edwards campaign fame) attempting the robot rule.
#207 Asian4Hillary
You are so right.
Our monies aren’t flowing out of a desert in a foreign land.
People here are making real sacrifices, even grocery money for the cause.
That’s how deep the spirit, conviction and dedication of PUMA runs.
jbjd and murphy
since jbjd appears to have evidence of widespread manipulation of pledged delegates by the bo camp all across the country, and since jbjd seems to have a solid grasp of the issue, why not craft a press release and mail it out? not at all trying to pass the buck, but it seems jbjd understands the issue very well and murphy, you have the title as e.d. of pumapac to mail out a press release. you could even pass it along to other jsnd folks for them to mail out as well.
just a thought.
——————————————–
recap
——————————————–
BO concerned about Corsi’s #1 bestseller anti-BO book
—————————-
Statement on BO’s website:
“…A bigoted fringe author, Jerome Corsi, is trying to make money off of an election, spinning garbage as journalism and relying on the right-wing echo chamber to pump up sales. Make no mistake: “Obama Nation” is nothng but rehashed lies.”
—————————–
Jerome Corsi said: “Critics such as myself are immediately branded as ‘racists’ to discourage readers from reading and evaluating the book for themselves.”
Obama “has intentionally manufactured a cult of personality in order to discourage any attempt to examine or comment critically upon any aspect of his background.”
———————————
– Jerome Corsi is getting death threats
– Daily Kos posted Corsi’s home address.
– BO getting surrogates to fiercely rebut Corsi’s book in the media.
– BO wrote a 40 page rebuttal to Corsi’s book. He supposedly posted it on his website in their “Fight the Smears” page.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
kendalblue – not sure if you’re aroung right now, but if so, hope you slept well last night an woke up feeling a bit less disheartened than yesterday. thinking of you…
THERE IS NO MORE “ROBOT RULE”
This rule, which was a DNC rule, ended 20 years ago. Ed Rendell said on t.v. that since this rule is gone, delegates may vote for anyone they want. This is untrue. Pledged delegates must vote for the candidate they were ‘elected’ to represent – BUT ONLY IF THEY ARE PLEDGED DELEGATES IN STATES THAT ENACTED THEIR OWN LAWS REQUIRING DELEGATES FROM POLITICAL PARTIES TO CAST THEIR VOTES AT THE PARTY’S CONVENTIONS FOR THE CANDIDATE THEY WERE ELECTED TO REPRESENT. Delegates who were chosen from primaries and caucuses in states without this rule only have to abide by the DNC model rules, which say, use your best judgment to represent the voters.
HRC could lose all of those delegates with no legal obligation to back her; but if Ed Rendell and others are successful in spreading their misinformation then, HRC could also lose pledged delegates in states where these delegates must, by law, stick to her.
Re: TERM OF ART/ Robot Rule
Definition of “Term of Art.”
Term of art
A word or phrase used by legal professionals that has a precise meaning in a particular subject area. Knowing the terms of art and their definitions for your area of practice will save you time and effort in your research.
Examples of terms of art include:
“blue sky laws” (refers to state securities laws)
“TINA” (an acronym for the Truth in Negotiation Act)

Am I correct in saying there are only 3 (identified) states that require delegates to vote true to the primary election? You are trying to identify others? I have not seen your letters, so are you encouraging the others to represent their voters choice? If you prefer to email this info send it to my post name dot lamp50 at gmail.

If the article is correct about the cash on hand, it would mean that Obama spent $2-3 million more than he brought in. He is not reporting his expenses in the article, but he had more cash on hand at the June Closing.
Ok, I’ve now bopped Obama 400 times and Paris Hilton about 20. Gonna stop for now.

Robot rule etc
I’ve been following all the posts on this and the delegates etc. And to be truthful, I’ve seen nothing that isn’t circular here. A lot of ords repeated over and over so either I’m just not getting it or in reality there is nothing there.
Sorry for whoever this posts offends but a hell of a lot of blog space has been used to generate action on something that is not even a clear action
So spit it out in one or two concise sentences please
AsianforHillary: Yes, that’s the Randi Rhodes who was just BESIDE herself on the air yesterday about the PUMA movement! hahahahahahaha…
** The MSM is helping BO convince us that “Obama Nation” is full of LIES **
This is from a CNN Political Ticker story:
“The book [Obama Nation], which is expected to debut at No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list, repeats many long-discredited falsehoods about the Illinois senator, including the claim that he is Muslim.”
Note how the whole thing is written off as a just another “dirt-&-lies” book full of long-discredited falsehoods about BO…… BUT……
– Does Corsi really say that BO is a Muslim… or does he just state the fact that BO’s Indonesian school registration form stated that his religion is Islam?
wontbackdown – not a thing to apologize for. you’re doing your thing. more power to you and everyone.

DEAR DELEGATE:
Do you know your state laws regarding your delegate votes? They may differ from what the Democratic Party is encouraging or pressuring you to do.
1) IF YOUR STATE LAW REQUIRES IT, YOU MUST CAST YOUR VOTE AT THE PARTY’S CONVENTIONS FOR THE CANDIDATE YOU WERE ELECTED TO REPRESENT.
2) IN OTHER STATES WITHOUT THESE RULES – THE DNC STATES THAT YOU MUST ABIDE BY THEIR OWN MODEL RULES – TO USE YOUR BEST JUDGMENT TO REPRESENT THE VOTERS.
Please, abide by your STATE LAWS AND PARTY RULES as well as the DNC’S OWN MODEL RULES FOR NOMINATION to honor and represent the Voters of your State.
Please be mindful that there are serious questions regarding the disenfranchisement of voters and possible illegalities in Caucus States such as Texas, among others.
We believe you will do what is not only the legal, but the right thing in representing the Voters of the United States of America. The only political power we have is our vote and your representation of our vote is that vote at the Democratic National Convention.
Sincerely,
XXXXX
How can I change my password on WordPress? They gave me a so abominable, unforgettable one.

It’s not important. I’m off for the day, have a ton of things to do. Hopefully, someone will resolve whatever needs to be done or figure out what people think should be done.
LandiPuma #224 Corsi does not say BO is a Muslim. He takes him at his word that he currently is a Christian. But he points out the “lie” when BO claims he has never been a Muslim. Father and stepfather were Muslims. He is listed as Muslim on grade school records. He attended mosque with stepfather. BO has admitted to Islamic instruction to the NYTimes.
Obviously, the MSN would rather smear Corsi and the entire book without reading it…much easier to just read BO press releases.

The letter sounds fine to me and we are all looking for more ways to help before the convention. For those who want to participate, why not?
Anna 7000 et al.
I understand your confusion.
I tend to follow up a post with another post without repeating the first post. I read everyone’s post. I even scroll back into prior posts for reference, for continuity. I also look things up. That is, if someone posts a link, I open it. I have noticed that not everyone here does this; people have even posted requests for summaries of information – not just titles or bullets – so they can avoid taking the time to access the original source. I have asked people to go back to search for my postings and explained how to do it. The response? ‘I don’t have time. Can you just explain this to me?’ Any of you can look up “robot rule.” BrooklynNY didn’t bother to find my old post for the definition of “term of art” – she looked this up herself. (I originally posted the definition when so many of you were angered by misleading headlines that stated HRC was no longer giving the “keynote” address at the convention, unaware she had never been slotted to give the “keynote” address in the first place.)
Last night, someone asked for suggestions as to prowls. I wasn’t setting up a prowl by talking about contacting state delegates; I was only posting my suggestion.
I will post another comment just below, explaining in detail what I have been working on.
WONT BACK DOWN NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
Wait for my posting.
DO NOT THREATEN STATE DELEGATES! YOU WILL LOSE THEIR VOTES.

I read the article earlier today. It really was impressive, wasn’t it?!!! Sure made me smile. Anytime anyone is feeling down or discouraged, I recommend they pull out that article and read it. I loved reading it. Saved it so I can read and reread it.
WONT BACK DOWN
Please ask Murphy or Mama to delete your earlier post. Please. The whole purpose of my letters to to let state delegates know, we have their back.
I am crafting another long post to explain everything.

273 murphy ~~ The report on the conference was wonderful. I just wish the whole country could read it and climb on board. It moved me so much, you might have to pass the hat again, and I might have to empty out my change jar.
Democrats and Their General Election Losing Streak
In order to break the Democratic Party’s presidential losing streak of only two winners in forty years, it might prove useful for Dean, Pelosi, et al to compare objections and warnings indicated by current polls to those which were flippantly dismissed leading up to each of the Democratic Party’s recent, failed campaigns. Today, the party leaders are ignoring polls
indicating that Americans are rejecting what they consider an inexperienced, incompetent Barack Hussein Obama. Democratic leaders are also attempting to ignore PUMAs although they face a certain defeat without them.

#88 One of 18 million cracks Yes I agree with you. We have accomplished much yet some folks seem down. Keep your spirits up PUMAs. You have a supportive community and you have made a difference. Change takes time and there are profound changes needed in the MSM and the ONC/DNC before they reflect anything of relevance to our culture and society.
Here is my favorite Margaret Mead quote.
• Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
#186 Anna 7000
You gave me a good idea for a Prowl. I’m in CA, but I won’t have the time to coordinate the letters with you. However, I have two separate letters ready-to-go to super delegates and will mail one of them to all of Hillary’s pledged delegates in CA.
Pumas, great job on the contributions.
Vonay – finished Prowl to KDP.

I could not resist posting after seeing this comment. Tee Hee Grrrrrrrrrrrowl here is my comment:
Posted by: Oneof 18Million cracks.. | Aug 16, 2008 3:00:17 PM
40 page Rebuttal…A bit much ya think?
Obama was in Hawaii visiting his long lost Grandmother who he has not seen in 2 yrs. You remember…The “typical white person.” who he threw under the bus to defend his good friend Rev. Wright “who is like an uncle to me.”
With all that free time he writes a 40 page rebuttal while walking on the beach, eating shaved ice. Hmmmm but of course he needed a vacation, after traveling all over Europe talking down the Americans.
I haven’t read Corsi’s book and don’t need to…everything sounds like you could easily find it on the internet or Obama’s own two books. Obama can no more be trusted to tell us the truth then I suspect Corsi can. Obama has the pattern of coming out with lengthy, tiring speeches in his defense when he knows people are close to vetting him and exposing him…40 pages without a teleprompter, speech writer, news spot and stage, now that’s a first. For some reason the media and Obama feel we all look forward to his chastizing us Americans through his speeches.
No thank you,I will save my time and money and put it in my gas tank, while inflating my tires to conserve energy.
Just one more thought…Why is McCain expected to denounce or comment whatsoever on this book? There have been books written and articles written unfavorably or untrue about him, where has Obama denounced or commented on them? And why are any of you commenting on PUMA? What has PUMA PAC done other than refuse to “fall in line.” and refuse to allow the DNC to hijack this election process and coronate the “Chosen One.”
286 just.words… Both tunes would be great for PUMA.
We will not be broken and are definitely giving them something to talk about. Just look how the list has grown and it’s barely noon here on the west coast.
#299 Asian4Hillary @@@@@@@Hi there !! can we possibly get a total later on to see if we have reached our goal ??Gosh, it would be frear if we could doublr that goal for today.

#294 jbjd. Wasn’t clear on what you were trying to communicate to us to do.
ADMIN: Delete whatever posts of mine jbjd is referring to? I am not clear on that, either.
jbjd, Don’t fret. Wontbackdown’s letter at #266 is in no way threatening. It is informative, accurate, and civil — I would even say it is polite.
For spontaneous Prowls and Growls, I recommend that people choose the ones they want to participate in and skip the ones they are uncomfortable with (for whatever reason — some people are just too darn shy to make phone calls, so they send a fax or wait for the next Prowl — I know I am often too shy to make phone calls).
No need to worry Puma PAC — it is our JOB as citizens and voters to talk back to our delegates, elected officials, and public officials. It is NOT our job to make them happy. It is THEIR job to make US happy, by representing us honestly and with integrity.

They need to change that bop-o-rama so the SOB STAYS down!!!
Sorry all I can’t give any more $ today but I did donate $500. on Thursday. That was possible because the insurance company reimbursed me for more than expected from my sons surgery to set his broken foot. I already sent my iced soy mocha money in so I am just tapped out. But I sent an e-mail with a link to the blog to 3 friends who are not suffering in this economy. They might step up.

Heidi Li……………..
The most ridiculous arguments yet against a true election at the Democratic National Convention
Various pundits and pollsters have been claiming that logistics stand in the way of an “unscripted” – meaning authentically democratic – nomination vote. They put the point in various ways, but the basic idea comes down to claiming that because Senator Obama has already rented a football stadium or because the press has already been or will be told in advance what the drill will be, it is just logistically impossible to hold a roll call ballot where the outcome is not predetermined.
This is simply absurd.
I have complete confidence in television networks and print journalists managing to cover unpredictable events. They do it with sporting events, where the outcome of a contest is not known in advance. They do it with news-making events, which are quite often unpredictable (indeed, that is part of why those events are called news).
Another variant of this argument claims that, whatever the press’s ability to cover a genuinely democratic nomination process, it is beyond the capabilities of the DNCC and the DNC to run one.
Given the lack of competence displayed by DNC leaders so far this nomination season, I have slightly more sympathy for this view. Nonetheless it is absurd.
The DNCC website and the DNC Call To The Convention specify the precise procedures to use in the event no nominee comes into the convention with enough pledged delegates to become the automatic nominee. The people running the convention can use the Party’s own governance document to guide them as they implement these procedures. While it is always somewhat difficult to hold free and fair elections, there are many simple ways ballots could be held and tabulated in an orderly manner. Voting can be conducted electronically or simply by using a web based application and monitored by an impartial observer (akin to the role accounting firms play during the Academy award voting process). These are just general suggestions, of course. Details would have to be looked into and sorted out.
But I assure you that with over 10 days remaining before the day a roll call vote will be held, it is entirely possible for the DNC and the DNCC to resolve these details. Indeed, if they need assistance, I will happily volunteer my services as would, I am sure, the millions of Democrats, who regardless of their preference regarding the ultimate outcome of a fully democratic nomination process, know that only by using such a process does any Democrat have a chance of winning the White House come November.
As for that football stadium, well if it turns out that it won’t be needed by Senator Obama and cannot be used by Senator Clinton were she to win and accept the nomination as a result of genuine and authentic vote on August 27th, the DNC’s lease on the Pepsi Center does run through August 28th. It may be unfortunate for Senator Obama’s campaign if it ends up having paid rent on space that will not be used, but that is always a risk when you count your chickens before they are hatched.
Finally, it is quite clear that as of this writing, the DNCC is still assuming that the predetermined outcome is firmly assured. Over on their website, they continue to state under the banner, INVESCO Field at Mile High Community Credentials, that on the fourth day of the convention we can “[s]ee Senator Barack Obama accept the Democratic nomination for President.” So either the DNCC knows quite well that the roll call vote announced Thursday is a sham or they are not being updated by the powers-that-be that they might want to update their website. I am pretty sure the problem is not the latter one.

Good morning PUMAs.
I think trying to list PUMAs donations to encourage everyone to help is a good idea for those that can. Maybe not so great for those that want to but have nothing to give. We don’t want to make anyone feel badly.
However, my real point is that by everyone putting their name at the end and republishing the list…
our posts end up with very loooooong web pages, which makes it impossible to post later in the day. Many PUMAs give up posting when they have to try to refresh and post 4 or more times.
I propose that we do it like we did in the ‘old days’ …
(heheh that is funny that we are only 8+ weeks old)
and just post our donations when we do it. Someone can add them up and post the total every now and then.
Just a thought to make posting possible as the day progresses.
I feel like call the the DNC and telling them, per Dean, I am apparently in the wrong party.
How can Dean be so dumb? The things he has recently said will make a wonderful ad for McCain or a 527.

billie jo – great idea.
I agree that not everyone can donate money – even $5.00 is a lot sometimes when you don’t have it.
The fact that you are a PUMA is fantastic. Those who donate time and ideas are just as impt. If you can not donate money, put your name on the list anyway and say donated, time, prowls, etc. We do not want to leave anyone out.

Purpose: Money for the Denver

I donated a little extra for those that can’t afford to. Wish I had more.
Rock on PUMAs!
#323 Middle age female @@@ great Idea…everyone here has worked their backside off. Money doesn’t make the difference, actions do !!
middle age female – that is such a really great idea. i am one of those puma’s who is totally and utterly tapped out and the past few days have been a little uncomfortable on the blog as donation issues have cropped up a lot more often than usual which keeps feeling very in my face (which i realize is my issue/problem, not anyone elses). however, i understand that when you’re fundraising, this kind of momentum, having the money issue front and center, having people offer to match others, etc. is part and parcel of having a sucessful outcome. so, i just try to deal with it as i know murphy is making a final push to maximize the nest egg we have for denver. but, i really think you’re idea that we all “contribute” in different ways is so sweet and really right on. so many of us have lost countless hours at jobs, with family, etc and that’s “priceless” as they say.
“your idea” not “you’re idea”
sorry

#309 murphy… Thanks Murphy for the comment. I wasn’t sure if jbjd was trying to ignite us or get us to take some action. I don’t want to jump the gun or get in the way of something more effective.
If I feel really terrible on how limited I am to help PumaPac, right now.
I admire everyone’s diligence here and while there are days that this whole injustice makes me so desperately crazy – and I probably sound that way – I just want to contribute and do no harm to this blog. I know I am not 100% successful at that – I have embarrassed myself on more than one occassion.
P.S.
Re: “Polite”. I want to tell them all to get some damned kahoonas and stand up TO THE DNC and FOR THE VOTERS for a change! Thought I’d better err on the side of politeness.

contacting pledged delegates…Time is short. Please consider contacting delegates personally. Go to the list, find a HRC delegate that lives near you and call them. I spent two days asking in coffee shops and stores and anybody I could think of before I reached one and told her about the petition. She was very grateful and passed info on to others who also signed. If I can do this believe me anybody can..demconvention.com/certified-delegates-ec/

Hi Michelle,
1. Left click on your mouse and hold it down,
2. move the mouse cursor across the words you want to copy, (this highlights them)
3. release the left clicked button
4. Now Right click on your mouse button, (a box will appear, scroll down in the box where it says “copy”) and click on copy.
5. Go to wherever you want your copied part to appear (like puma pac) Now right click on your mouse, (another box will appear, scroll down to “paste”), click on paste.
Hopes this isn’t confusing. When I first got my pc I thought I would never learn how.

Also, would you mind emailing me at myname geemail?
Thanks.
316 BillieJo,
I agree. Said as much this morning sans the important details.
By evening it’s discouraging to have refresh several times.
#323 Middle age female , I am new to this group so I have not been able to do as much as others, so I am able to contribute by my donations which is not nearly as large as some. No one needs to feel bad if they are not able to match another’s amount. Every bit helps and if you are working in other ways that is just as important. I plan to do my first flyer prowl tomorrow. I have NO idea or experience in writing the letters and feel intimidated for not doing so.
We all are contributing in being here and supporting each other. That is priceless. Murphy could not do what she is doing and there would be NO Denver representatiton if we were not the numbers we are. As one we are few, as many we are to be reckoned with. Thank you for voicing your feelings that others share.

This just happened to one of our PUMA’s at the village yesterday. Be careful everyone.
Guys thanks so much for all your concern. I just got home and I still am a little shocked and shakened and in tears. I just had the worst verbal attack/abuse from an Obamabot. I just couldn’t believe that there are people who can be so mean!!! This black teenager (maybe about 18-21 yrs old) saw me with my shirt and followed me and harrassed me and called me names like “f****** b*****”, “c***”, “Oriental shit”!! He screamed at me as I was walking to church and told me whats up with my “f****** Hillary shirt”, that she lost, I am a sore loser, why can’t I get it, why can’t I face it! That I am a loser! And he even shouted – “I hate Orientals, you have no you right to be here!! My momma owns a home and car and I bet you don’t own a home nor a car, thats the way it should be because you have no right to own any of them!! You little Oriental shit! C***!! Go back to where you came from.. blah blah” OMG, I was in total shock because I cannot for the life of me understand what I had done to make this black teenager attack me with such painful words and names!! All I did was wear my hillary villager tee today! After lunch, since my plan was shop after work, and I wanted to be comfy when I walk around Manhattan and so I decided to change into my Hillary villager tee and denims, and thats what I got!!! But I am still thankful that I didn’t stoop down to his level and did not respond to his attacks, all i could utter was GOD BLESS YOU!!! And when he still continued on, I said “if you don’t stop, I will call the cops on you!” so he walked away , but while walking he was still screaming, calling me names!” People were just minding their own business, rushing since everyone wanted to get home as the rain was about to start. I didn’t see any cops nearby, but the first thing I thought was I need to talk to someone. I was in shock and I called my sister and BF but it was just voice mail that I got, so I called Tanya and when I got Tanya on the phone, thats when I started crying. Tanya was an angel, she calmed me down. Thanks Tanya!!
I still am trying to back track and replay what exactly happened, but it was just realy horrible, hurtful!! I was afradi he might hurt physcially hurt me like maybe hit me or worse stab or shoot me. Thank God nothing like that happened.
Wontbackdown
your letter is terrific and so are you!
thanks, kendalblue. doubt i do more than anyone else here and doubt everyone loves me, but glad you’re a fan and your support is much appreciated.
but, you didn’t say – how are you feeling today?
#326 Anna7000,
I haven’t been able to give much at all…..One thing is for sure,
No matter how much money we raise, if we don’t DO anything it would not amount to a hill of beans!
Thank you for ALL you do. We are all a team, a family, and we all have different jobs!
gocleffnote – that’s horrible. keep blogging about what happened for as long as you need. got anyone who you can be with? contact your local police dept and report the harrassment. there may be nothing they can do, but at least they’ll be a record. that’s serious harrassment. hang out here with us. glad you weren’t physically harmed, but i can’t even begin to imagine how shaken you must be. breathe. have some sips of water. sit down. stick close by.
HELP NEEDED !!!
Does anyone know if there’s a web site for the 300 petition, and if so, could you post the link?
Thanks.
# 339 wontbackdown
I agree wholeheartedly, and I am loving every minute of it.
Time to go pass out flyers.
341 gocleffnote on 08.16.08 at 3:42 pm This just happened to one of our PUMA’s at the village yesterday. Be careful everyone.
______________
I am confused, did you say this JUST happened today? We had a post similar to this the other day. She said she was on her way to church. Is this the same story? I remember commenting to her and telling her she should have said a prayer for this person. It is a bit scary that the exact thing happened days later.
Anna7000 @@@ thank you for asking. you remembered my mood last night huh ? Well, I went to bed early last night, and woke ready to roar again. I haven’t come this far to quit now. I just had a bad day. But I have put a lot into prospective. And I will work from that vantage point now.
#342 Fiona. Thank You! Everyone’s efforts are incredible!

not to be a doubting thomas here, but that’s a fishy story, and very familiar, plus overuse of the black reference, if i’m wrong my apologies, if i’m right, expect more of this over the next two weeks,
could just be more distraction

We share the same sentiments. I only was questioning it, because I know for certain we had a post almost identical to it the other day, because I responded to it.
My opinion only – there is nothing easier than giving money IF you have it. So, the small donations I give are because I can. What so many of you do is far more difficult and I am in awe. We each contribute the best way we can. Reminds of Hillary’s “It Takes a Village.”

Trish,
I don’t doubt the story one bit. From the abuse I’ve been subjected to here on the internet, I’ve no doubt bots are even more hateful in person. BO brings out the worst in people, period.

She’s just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son (dau in this case)
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
#341 gocleffnote
regarding this- i think it was mariainnj that it happened to. i think she posted it yesterday or the day before and gocleffnote was just passing on the info. she is from HRC site.
Anna7000 it wasn’t me, it was one of our hillaryvillagers. I’m sorry, it happened yesterday and I didn’t realize it had already been posted. I am so disgusted by all of this, I am trying to get the story out everywhere. I have decided to change my tactics. I will no longer stand silently as we hear from this Obamanots as they mistreat us. I have re-opened the comments for my videos and will now post any nasty comments about them that I receive. I am not hiding anymore. We must expose this type of mysogony and racism, no matter who it is directed at.
So this is the kind of unity we will have under Obama and his thugs? Not on my watch.
#341 gocleffnote
Wow, you must be in shock! This election is touching a raw nerve in a lot of people. *61′s people are running scared. If he really believed that Hillary lost why did he unleash a verbal assault?
Lots of Puma hugs for Gocleffnote.
I wanted to add my little story. I’ve been blogging on a pro-*61 site for three or four years. Just today, one of their new writers deleted my post because I dared to mention Corsi’s name.
This is all about “control” and President Nixon was very similar. Think about it, how can a tee-shirt or a short post result in verbal abuse and attacks and free speech being deleted unless they know that *61′s candidacy is very fragile and falling apart.
Going to sign off for a couple of hours!
#354 Oneof18million cracks…
It is the same person, MJ over at HillaryVillagers, just a different person posting it.

Vonay, You have made my day.. I have highlighted the areas i want to paste thousands of times, I just never could figure out where to put them. For some reason I thought you had to put them in a file or something, I could never get it right. That was so easy, again thank you very much!
not on my watch either go and go.
need to go for the day. PUMA’s , have a great day and keep the faith!

#366 Middle age female
Good one! New video Trish!
STATE PLEDGED DELEGATES FOR HRC ARE UNDER SIEGE FROM BO, THE DNC, AND STATE PARTIES, and I just wanted to let them know, we have your backs.
The project I initiated and have been heading up for the past few days centers around contacting state officials – A’G and S’s of S – in those states that have enacted laws requiring pledged delegates to vote for the candidate in whose name they became delegates, through at least the first round at the convention. Because BO’s campaign – not just through the DNC, but directly, by his own people – have been pestering these delegates in each state, including those states requiring these delegates to remain loyal to HRC. Here’s how this all began.
I read an article on Heidi Li’s blog, links to which I posted several times here. She posted the copy of a nasty letter BO sent to delegates in GA. I wondered whether this same letter had gone out to delegates in each state.
Around the same time, I heard news reports that a pledged delegate in CO was being pressured to change her support from HRC to BO. She hired a lawyer! So, I looked up DNC model delegate selection rules to determine whether she could change her mind. DNC rules tell pledged delegates to use their best judgment to represent the will of the voters. As a result, I figured, the state chair was just pressuring her – albeit unfairly – to exercise her discretion in a way that would benefit BO.
Then I heard something about a HRC pledged delegate being pressured to change her mind when the law in her state required her to stick to her candidate. The law? You mean, some states have enacted laws requiring pledged delegates to follow their party’s candidate into the convention? Since the only state I could confirm had received that letter posted on Heidi Li was GA, I looked up the law in GA. And there it was. The law in that state not only requires the delegates to support their candidates at convention but also contains an opinion from the GA AG, supporting the law and explaining its intent. Then I went back to Heidi’s site to see whether anyone from GA had responded to her earlier posting with a reference to that GA law. No one had; but that’s when I saw a note from a delegate from NC, who said that letter BO sent to GA had also gone to her. (NC state law does not require pledged delegates to stick.) Now, I knew my suspicions were true; BO was in every state, ‘pressuring’ pledged delegates to break the law. So, I decided to turn them in. (BO and his supporters, that is.) That’s how I began this project: with an idea.
Carrying out this idea has been a nightmare. First, I had to find those states where the law required pledged delegates to stick to their candidates. This meant, reading the law; getting the names and contacts for A’sG and S’s of S; and finding any examples of delegates being hassled in those states. (Otherwise, the only evidence I had that applied specifically to every state was that letter from BO’s rep to delegates in GA, posted on Heidi Li’s blog.) Then, I had to organize pumas in those states. An angel mailed to me a spreadsheet with delegates from all states. (I followed suggestions here a few weeks back to open up a gmail account to protect my primary email. But before I could get up to speed, my mailbox began filling up with emails! Writing the first ‘legal’ letter to GA was time consuming but, tailoring this letter to the other states is easy. I had to strike the right tone: non-confrontation but at the same time conveying expectations to step up to the plate with enforcement. On the other hand, setting up the email groups; and giving those pumas access to the googledocs website has been a nightmare!) I’m pretty caught up now. And I am just about ready to recruit the next group.
And here’s how these letters to state A’sG and S’s of S support state delegates. Once we have faxed these out to state officials, including the names and addresses of the senders, inasmuch as these are citizens of those states, we copy the letters, with or without identifying names. Then, we send these to the state pledged delegates for HRC, via snail mail, along with this handwritten note near the signature line: “We have your back. PUMA.”
After I have hooked up with any of our Mothers – I have been sending out flares for days – perhaps we can post that GA letter. All will be clear after that.
In sum, my intention was never to threaten any state pledged delegates to obey the law. They are already under siege. And, unlike BO, HRC cannot hold her delegates’ hands. But we can. And that’s all I was trying to do.
What happened to MariaNJ, happened to a lot of Hillary supporters. Two tires of my vehicle (rear) was slashed with a knife, my Hillary sticker was removed with the same knife that slashed my tires at the parking lot while I was shopping. NOBAMA will NEVER get my vote, the more i dig in my heels to defeat him.

PUMAs,
While counting up the dollars we can contribute, do not forget to consider the time and effort that has been put in here and what it would amount to at even a moderate hourly wage.
You are Wonderful.

It is much appreciated. I know how hard it is to take on a task like that. Thank you.
Okay, I really have to go now. Bye-Bye.
#379 jbjd
Thanks for your vigilance!
#357 TrishfromCanada… Is someone was just reposting the original story, maybe?
I have not yet encountered such, but I have heard enough from various people (not just on the internet) to know that tensions are high and to be careful in whatever I am doing in spreading the word.
It is a shame that I am cautious to not wear Hillary Gear, but there is great tension in the AA community and I am hearing that from dear AA friends (who are more like my family – call them Mama and Daddy).
They want to see him elected and I deeply understand why. They also have no access to internet, etc. and do not know whether they “trust” the information I can get access to. Given our racial history, I completely understand. But, they also KNOW ME and know that I am not against Obama because of his race.
They are genuinely concerned for me – and not to scare me from doing what I am doing, either. They do not try to discourage me from acting on what I believe to be right. But, THEY have told me about the “rumblings” going in the AA community about any opposition to BO and considering what they have said, I do need to be careful in how I go about what I am doing – as we all do.

Here’s my response to the Maureen Dowd article in NY Times sent to the editor:
Will you please tell me why Maureen Dowd is still one of your columnists. She is not clever, creative, intellectual or a good writer. The venom that drips from her words on the subject of Hillary Clinton is eye popping. If she produced new information or deep insight or even a fresh point of view, there might be some value in her columns, but her old tired left wing dribble is tiresome, not to mention her condescending tone on a subject she has long since lost any semblance of balance on. Of what value is her point of view? You’re paying her well to vent and bore those of us who hope for better from the New York Times.

Yes it seems it could be a repost of an original story that already has grown.
Some of the story makes no sense but that could just many stories change with each telling.
Someone set a huge personal goal of raising a lot of money by tonight at midnight. I am embarrassed that I can not remember who, but I have my fingers crossed for her and her mother who sent out fantastic letters to her friends, etc.

I was wondering who the first one would be to notice, Figures it was you. LOL!
She doesn’t want to wear that spotted coat in Denver. LOL!
I think everyone here is pretty damn great, whether it is money, time or just being here to lift someone else’s spirits. I participate in all the prowls but am not very active on the blog, although I read it nonstop. There is truly nothing better than knowing that others are out there feeling the same as you do and fighting this corruption every step of the way. Kudos to everyone here and elsewhere that is standing up and fighting for true democracy!

I have been thinking about doing a video showing the members of Puma/JSND. I wanted to see how everyone feels about it.
I would need a picture representing each person, it could be anything you want. And I would need a screen name and State.
I would also like to use the title “we are the ones no one was expecting.” if that is ok with Murphy.
I guess, right now, I just want to see what people think about it.
You can email me at redraz99@hotmail.com, and I will check for comments on here.

Obama win is tall order in N.C., poll shows
By Taylor Batten, Staff Writer
Democrat Barack Obama will have to overcome tepid support from white voters and their high regard for Republican John McCain as an honest and principled leader if he intends to win North Carolina in the presidential election.
Obama has said he can bring traditionally Republican states into play, particularly in the South. He launched his general election campaign in Raleigh, has aired TV ads in North Carolina and has opened more than a dozen campaign offices across the state.
But a new poll from The Charlotte Observer and NewsChannel 36 shows that North Carolinians believe McCain would be a better president, 43 percent to 38 percent.

One thought, how about the Faux News channel and the right-wing of the Republican Party?
Democrats don’t want to expose corruption of precious, might pull the racial card out again. The racial card is precious free pass to the Whitehouse.
I wish Hillary had the ovaries card to use as a free pass.
Just donated $100.00 – did not put my name on list.
Hellooooooo Puma’s…… I just donated $20.00 for Denver !!!! Can someone please add me to the list, i am not that computer savvy…….please !!!
Another flip flop lie from the “Citizen of the World”
Dnc in money trouble..
read it at (puke) huffpot.
#379 jbjd… I sincerely wasn’t trying to be “threatening” to delegates. Just take the information you were providing us for our communication to them.
I thought you were trying to communicate that many delegates may not KNOW everything you are discovering and calling upon us to contact them.
I jumped the gun – and I am truly sorry if I was inconsiderate of your efforts, information, pending suggested direction and timing.
If it sounded “threatening” to you, I am open that it could sound “threatening” to others. I put it out there for clarity and suggestions.
I hear you and will wait for your recommendations or a prowl.
lol i know one of the people on this list and i know he is not american lol
************** UPDATE *************
Ca-ching! $2380.00
Way to go PUMAs, way to go!
How do we put our names on the donation list? We didn’t put ours on.
#398 antifish… He is not even that close in Texas – I think he is 15% behind McCain. Not a huge surprise, but I really believe Hillary would be a lot closer.
341 gocleffnote & others with bad obot stories
I saw another car that works in the same office park as I do, but for a different company, driving down the road while eating lunch Friday (our break room is next to the road going into the office park). On this very new, expensive looking car someone had spray painted “Obama” on the side of it. We’re pretty sure it was vandal obots and it looked like bumper stickers were once on the car now removed. Anyways talk around the lunch table shifted to bad run-ins with obots. It seemed like everyone had a story. What is this world coming to when the people who support this guy are nothing more than terrorists to our own people? We cannot let someone lead this country who brings this out in people. I know Durham is super pro O and we’re all (anti-o’s) becoming afraid to stand up to them. There is never a chance for an intelligent debate or reason with these people. It always goes straight to property damage or harassment or verbal abuse. I cannot think of a time a PUMA has used any of these tactics. We must keep fighting the good fight for those who are already scared of retaliation and those already attacked. Yes, we are fighting the Democratic Party’s poor judgment as an organized cause, but really I’m thinking we are going to have to start fighting for our own people’s rights to free speech. I think we need to call these bullies out in the national spotlight. Maybe then more people will come forward with stories. I think if we can show what these ‘bully supporters’ are doing to innocent people, maybe some of the obots will stop drinking the kool-aid and wake up. The only change I’ve been seeing from his supporters is more acts of hate. I don’t want to live in that world. Keep up the good work PUMAs

You are so very welcome. I remember the first time I was able to copy and past something; I just about danced a jig. HAAAAH
hi all just checking in. I am unable to donate today, but am working very hard behind the scenes. Just took a 5 min break to say hello and catch up. I will be sure to be done in time for the radio show tonight. I did get some flyers out today all over NWI as I went on all my shopping duties this morning. See you all later.

Greetings my Dear PUMA. I just want to say that between 200.00 I gave last night, and $35.00 (my usual payday gift to PUMAPAC) today I’ve given $235.00 in the past day ~ and I did this for all the PUMA who need help getting to Denver or who cannot give due to financial circumstance.
That PUTZ Shuster (major TOOL) is nothing but a loudmouth maggot obot, and I think the money PUMAPac has raised in the past two months is nothing to sneeze at. We are just getting started foolish Obots. And we’ll have the last laugh on November 5th. And thereafter as the current Party leadership is recalled by the voters in their districts and states.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Make that total now $2415.00 thus far today
FYI – there are 2 lists going around. Neither one is complete.
Hey i did it !!!!
#419 wontbackdown,
I agree. This was the year that Democrats (Bill and Hillary) should have waltzed into the White House, but the ultra-left wingnuts hijacked the primary. Now, we’ll be faced with four more years of Republican rule unless a miracle happens.
Here’s what I can do with the donations to help
I have the list as of #430. I can add this to the thread opener and edit every half hour to reflect new donations. That will save blog space.
If I have to step away, someone blogging will have to take over keeping a list of donors and email it to me when I return.
Everyone who wants to help me send letters or emails on a prowl go to # 53.
Just tell them what you think, and that you WON”T be voting for the “citizen of the world”.
Thank you soooo much.
nevermind, someone add my $35 to the list, I am not keeping up with the thread, so I will humbly go up top and start reading!
PUMAS
please if any of you is hurt or threaten
you have to go right to the police & make a formal complaint
& after that to the news, the media,etc
they are behaving like stalinist
come on
in the home of the freedom
we can not accept
this idiocy to occur
“Nothing is hopeless, we must hope for everything.”
Madeleine L’Engle (author)
“Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.”
Harriet Beecher Stowe
“In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.”
Albert Einstein
“Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.”
Dale Carnegie
MA Statistics:
Obama now leading McCain by 9
( was 23 back in June )
Hillary won MA Primary by 15
My fantasy is for Barry to lose MA. Even McGovern carried MA. ” They said it couldn’t be done but Barry, our messiah, actually did it. What a guy!!!!!!! )

#446 Hey, someone send that list to Christina and her boyfriend, Tommy Christopher. They say there are only ten Pumas. And this is on a Saturday afternoon when many of us are undoubtedly doing some shopping or recreation.
#141 jbjd ***** SINCE I DIDN’T DO THURSDAYS PROWL ***** I added your suggestion to thelist of the super delegates…LOL
August 15, 2008
Puma PAC
Reply TO: murphy@pumapac.org
Dear Super Delegate,
I am a Democratic voter and member of Puma PAC, People United Means Action (www.pumapac.org). We represent the more than 18 million American voters who supported Senator Clinton and who reject the selection of Barack Obama as the Democratic nominee.
Barack Obama is simply the weaker of the two final candidates for nomination. He is losing ground to Senator McCain every day. Millions of Democrats vow not to vote for him in November because of his inexperience and unreadiness to lead.
Only Senator Clinton can win back the White House for our Party in November.
PLEASE do your job and support Senator Clinton for nomination in Denver.
The Democratic VOTERS want you to support a real winner and leader. The American PEOPLE want you to. Common Sense wants you to. A commitment to DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES wants you to.
PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING. AMERICAN DEMOCRATS AND VOTERS WILL SUPPORT YOU FOR YOUR COURAGE AND WILLINGNESS TO STAND UP TO PARTY INSIDERS BY REPRESENTING THE VOICE OF THE VOTERS.
Also, Yesterday I saw Ed Rendell on Neil Cavuto, rejecting NC’s proposition that HRC could still win if enough delegates changed their minds, with this statement: ‘That’s not going to happen; delegates can vote for anyone they want and they will vote for BO. We haven’t had a “robot rule” since the 1980 Kennedy Carter convention.’ After seeing this on t.v., I wanted to remind you that some states require, by law, that “pledged” delegates must vote for their candidate at least through the first round of voting at the convention. I want to warn you the DNC was engaging in a campaign of misinformation aimed at state delegates, who may or may not know what is the law in their states, to get them to think voting for HRC would be useless. I urged you to get word to state delegates, hold your vote.
What if “robot rule” was actually a term of art? So, I looked it up. And, sure enough, it is.
http://cassandra2004.blogspot.com/2008/02/open-convention-ted-kennedy-1980-dnc.html
And then it hit me. BO is spending this week spreading misinformation to get state delegates – not the supers – to change their votes. We have to try to stop him. Normally, this ’shepherding’ of delegates is done by the candidate; BO has been in touch with delegates in each state. But HRC cannot do this now. So we have to.
Sincerely,
Barbara
Puma PAC democrat

#219 Asian4Hillary
I posted the following on the Politico article about BO’s July fundraising. I think their ship is sinking:
If he is raising so much, why is Obama’s cash on hand going down? His June Closing was reported as $71.7 million cash on hand with $0.9 million in debts (opensecrets.org). How did that drop to $68.5 million at for the July closing? Is the $65.8 million his current cash on hand? Did it drop more? If Obama raised $51 million in July, he must have spent $54 million doing it. Just think what he will do for our national debt if he gets elected. David Plouffe must think most Americans cannot add and subtract.
you’re forgetting me in list # 430 and also #441 deadgirlsrise
Vonay, You now have me hooked. I will now be a copy and paste madwoman.
DON’T POST THE LIST ANYMORE!
It’s making the blog unmanageable.
Just post your donation – I will add it to the list I am posting on the thread opener and update every 1/2 hr.
I am starting over again with POST 456. If you are NOT on it and have made a donation, please post a SINGLE comment that you donated. NOT THE WHOLE LIST!
I meant to tell this story yesterday.
I saw my Nurse Practitioner last month… and mentioned politics and that I was still diehard Hillary Clinton supporter, and a PUMA, and I told her she’ll hear about us, so keep an eye and ear open…
well, I saw her yesterday, and she has heard all about us PUMA, she said “PUMA are all over the news!”
LOL
Hey guys I really envy the ones that are going to Denver. I would love to go. I just donated 50.00 for use on the trip. Maybe you can make a sign from StarDust (or something).

Does anyone know when the “Audacity” documentary is going to come out ?
Is there going to be any “shout outs” from anyone going to Denver for the ones that can’t.. . via signs!! I think i read that was a possibilty !!

[[BO’s expenditures by category for July. Look at Transportation and lodging. Awfully expensive to go on an ego trip these days. Oh well, the stupid bots are paying for it.]]
The bots aren’t the only ones paying for it. Part of Obama’s trip, as I recall, was considered official Senate business, paid for by taxpayers.
And let this be a warning about our economic future if Obama is elected. He will spend taxpayer money recklessly to feed his ego, then raise our taxes to pay for his indulgence. America and Americans alike will see far greater debt than ever before if Obama becomes President.

I agree along with Dances. Please do not keep posting the list. I can track the numbers and post every now and then as a Ca-ching
I think everyone that posts a new donation to the website since Marylands post at 439 send her an email letter her know and that way no one has to worry about keeping the updated list of names.

PLEDGED DELEGATE LETTER FREE TO GOOD HOME:
I cannot afford to send letters to all of the pledged delegates in CA who are pledged to Clinton. I’m sad about it, but that’s where it’s at. But, here’s a draft of a letter in progress that anyone is free to use as they see fit.
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –
Dear California Delegates to the 2008 Democratic National Convention:
Thank you, citizens, one and all for volunteering to serve as delegates to the Democratic National Convention. As such, you have a powerful role in representing the voice of the voters in our great state.
I am writing to you as a lifelong Democrat, a resident of the state of California, an ardent Clinton supporter and because you are slated to vote for Senator Clinton at the convention. In this historic election year there has been enormous excitement within the party along with enormous pressure from the DNC on Delegates and Superdelegates regarding how they should cast their vote.
I am counting on you to fulfill your pledge to cast your vote for Senator Clinton later this month. As it has come to my awareness that delegates across the county have been intimidated by officials from both the Obama campaign and the DNC to be swayed to support Senator Obama, I feel all the more compelled to contact you at this time to urge you to reflect the will of the people in California who voted overwhelmingly in support of Senator Clinton and to cast your vote for her as you have pledged to do. When I cast my vote in the primary, I did so knowing my vote would be represented by a delegate at the convention. Without such representation, my vote becomes worthless and the entire democratic process becomes a sham.
To those delegates who are collecting signatures to ensure that Senator Clinton’s name be placed in nomination, I thank you and encourage you to continue on that path, irrespective of press reports that the Obama campaign has announced the Senator Clinton’s name will be placed in nomination. To those of you who have signed such petitions, I thank you as well. To any delegates unaware of this petition who would like further information, please send an e-mail to hrc300delegates@yahoo.com
This has been a challenging primary and post-primary season and I feel strongly that we must do all we can do ensure that democracy is served and that Senator Clinton’s candidacy is treated with all the respect it deserves and in accordance with what any other Democratic candidate has been afforded at past conventions. Then, of course, there’s the fact that Senator Clinton is the most qualified candidate we have and the only candidate who can beat John McCain in the General Election. She is certainly the only Democratic candidate I will be willing to vote for in November.
What an honor it must be to represent a portion of the 18 million of us who cast our votes for Senator Clinton at the convention! Thank you one and all.

I am not watching McCain and BO tonight. I just can’t stand to look at BO. Someone count the number of times he says”uh”. Post it on the blog after the program. I’ll be back then.
A Denver attender:
Please add my name to a sign in Denver. That would be a great way to show our numbers. I agree with StarDust #524.

Hey, why don’t we have signs that cost non-Denver attenders $5.00 to have their names written onto?
Then they can be brought to Denver!
I need a Denver sign sponser!!!!! I will donate again if someone will make a sign with ….. 007girl on it !!!
Hey, it is a kinda cool name !!!
*~*~pumetta that is a good idea because I can’t go but would love to have my name on a sign~*~*
That is NOT a fishy story. It DID happen yesterday to Maria, a must loved member of the Hillary Village. She needs and deserves our wholehearted support.

#370 goandersen on 08.16.08 at 4:13 pm #354 Oneof18million cracks…
It is the same person, MJ over at HillaryVillagers, just a different person posting it.
____________________
Yes, thank you I have spent the past hour looking for this post (469 MariainNJ on 08.15.08 at 11:05 pm). I knew it was on the Assumption day because she mentioned in her post. So when I saw 341 gocleffnote’s post it rang a bell.
I am NOT trying to imply anything here..I am just stating that I had heard the exact post. I am not saying this did not happen, I just am concerned because MJ posted that at 11:05 p.m. and she had many of us respond to her and yet she never again commented. I had hoped to hear back from her to make sure she was ok, and she has not posted since. I am so sorry to hear about Asian4Hillary’s experience.
I know we all must be very careful, especially when wearing any apparel or signs for who we are for. I am a bit new here and do not know the people like most of you, so I was a bit concerned when I saw the same post only a different name. Thanks for helping me out. I plan to go out distributing flyers tomorrow for my first and had posted it soon before I read 341 gocleffnote.
To all PUMAs near and far….stay safe.
Yes Antifish,
Sorry I didn’t get back to you. I will try that next time I have to log in.
I’m so tech-challenged, but I am learning a few tricks. Watch this ♥

512 Anna7000 – get ahold of freddie – she was offering to help with postage for anyone who wanted to send out letters and postage was an issue.
#542 StarDust – maybe the name mention could be an incentive to donate!
Ah Go,
If you all do what Pumetta #533, is asking for all you to do, then I’m sorry but I cannot accept your kind gesture, but I thank you very much

I predict that Obama will say “uh,” “um,” “ah,” or some variation thereof with every breath he takes. The average adult breathes 12 to 20 times per minute. How many minutes will Obama be speaking?

For sure! It’s a great idea!
Billie jo….. not sure what kind of sign, just wanted a sign with my member name….i know there is some puma’s here that can’t go, but would be grateful if our names were on signs… maybe it could read ” Shout out to 007girl” for example.

If you’re out there, are you helping people with postage costs if they can’t afford it? Cause if you are, I’m a folk who can’t afford it! But, I’d need to know soon becuase preparing this mailing will take a looooooooong time.
If you’re out there and can help, please type a heading on your post so it’s easy to find.
Thanks.
#548 Tree,
Sorry but I don’t understand.
When will we know how much we have raised so far today?? I have never been so excited about any cause in my life. I think this is how the suffragettes must have felt!!!
#549 gocleffnote
Thing is I see donations to Bo, Kerry, McCain, Lieberman, Dean and the DNC. No donations to Hillary
I’m going to see what I can find on those who donated, three of them I know personally as they own a company I used to work for.
But I saw one name listed 3 times with three different addresses but same occupation, shame she donated to Bo lol
One of the things for being a Puma is that you must share all icon (hearts) making techniques. It’s in the contract (isn’t it??!!!)
#550 HP Boston
Okay, let’s do the drill one more time.
Please only post your donation and I will count it in the money tally. I will start collecting names and give it to Maryland PUMA when she gets back to me.
Do not keep posting the list.
If you just posted the list in the last half and our or so, but did not post your donation, you need to do it. I don’t want to have to go back to every list and look for names.
Thanks.
Keep it simple and I will be more accurate.
why do they keep talking about edwards? who really givesd a ..;;* who he is sleeping with???
Must be very busy on the site today as I can’t even post my donation. I’ll try again.
Just donated another $25 for Denver, for a total this week of $75.
Also found that Barry’s mom was living in Washington state when she applied for her social security card in 1959-1960.
If it will be $5.00 a sign, i can help pay for another puma that might not have the money to pay!!!! Just let me know and i will donate for you so you can have a sign in your name !!!!
# 555 BillieJo
When I donated I put down for any Denver expenses. So I hope signs is concedered a Denver expense. It should be.
Not looking at the list, only the posts that mention a donation, and $5 clams to all that don’t list amount the total is so far……………………

Clark was informed by Barack Obama’s people that there was no reason to come.
General Clark has been given no role of any kind at the convention.
Rubbing salt in the wound even more, the “theme” of Wednesday’s Democratic convention agenda is “Securing America.”
Wesley Clark’s PAC also happens to be called SECURING AMERICA.

Juan Williams on Fox says all Clinton supporters –except for about a quarter– have gone over to obama. and the reason obama is Letting Hillary & Bill have all the “face-time” is so they can make nice-nice with the rest of us and convince us to go for obama.

bluebluega-
yor offer is really sweet and incredibly generous. i believe it made me realize that when confronted with the prospect of actually having someone give me money in a context like this, i’m not comfortable with it. just can’t have a person i don’t know fork over hard earned cash to me for this purpose. i also realized the logistics are something i’m not crazy about either, ie, giving out my address.
so, to sylvia and middleagewoman, freddie if you’re reading this, and anyone else who’s name i forgot (sorry) who’ve tried to help me with ideas, or in bluebluegal’s case, with actually dollars, i thank you but now realize it’s not feasible for me for 1) just who i am reasons, and 2) logistical reasons.
“to thine ownself be true.”
just discovered another little bit of myself. gotta’ be independent (wow, this is the year for it on so many levels! just got my voter reg confirmation card in the mail yesterday!)
That donating process is so confusing.
It so did not want to take my money and I was soooo trying to give it. It took me 5 tries earlier today to get the thing to accept my donation.
It is a darn good thing I am such a determined Puma!

See thread opener. It’s listed there.
New thread going up at 7:30 folks so be patient with the 500 errors that are becoming more frequent. Copy those comments before pasting.
#341 gocleffnote I so glad you are ok. This is just another example of Obama’s tactics and why we need to see he isn’t elected. Reading that made me so angry, but when you just said, “God bless you,” I instantly saw the difference between them and us. They hate~~~we love.

Anna..why not have them pass it through Puma Pac somehow? if that is possible..they give to puma and earmark it for you and you collect it w/o giving out personal info>>> ask Marylandpuma or mama puma…maybe they have an idea.

Wow, we are doing really well PUMAS!
I will wait patiently for anyone that wants a sign but may not have the money !!!! I will donate
Not gonna happen. McCain can’t do too much harm with a democratic Congress. Not after Bush.
603 StarDust
if you put in the amount (up top) and designate the purpose..it really turns out to be easy.I kept having trouble because I kept putting my info in BEFORE I put in the amount aqnd it kept kicking it back to me..
601 Maryland PUMA – I am still confused (sorry). What is on the postcards? Is PUMA having their own postcards to mail out? Will someone be writing something on them?
Palosi’s book is not selling very well….hehehe…just stated on Fox
sunshinelr – thanks for thinking of me, but i think what you’re suggesting is called money laundering. really, no one should give this further thought. we’re all too busy and there’s so much going on. but i so thank you for turning your creative wheels on my behalf. gotta let it go.
#608 Sunshinelvr and Anna7000
That is EXACTLY what needs to be done.
Anna7000 – you need to email gotodenver@pumapac.org and tell them what you need. Also note those who will donate specifically to you.
Donors for Anna7000 need to donate and put Anna7000 to Denver in the Purpose. Then email gotodenver@pumapac.org to let the coordinator know the donation has been made and how much.
Our gotodenver guru is working OT trying to match needs and gifts. This will help immensely in connecting the two.
LOL!
#613 Middleagedfemale
We will use convention postcards if available. If not, then we will use PUMA ones or general Denver ones. We’ll have more info when we know what’s available.
We can write anything you want on it!
It’s a keepsake type thing.

back to drawing board, sorry folks
maryland puma – again, thanks for thinking of me, but not sure how this would work, logistically, nor if it’s legal. don’t want to put the pac at risk nor do i want to create a whole complex set of cogs and wheels churning for this.
wierd – i used to run a non-profit org (not political; artistic) and had to fundraise all the time. wasn’t even comfortable then asking for money for my org. and i’m surely not comfortable as an individual asking or accepting money like this.
please, let it go. i so appreciate your efforts, concern and desire to support my efforts. but i have to feel comfortable with it, and i don’t. (wow, i wonder if this is how hillary feels!)
♥
Sunshinelvr – Funny – they can’t make “nice-nice” with us. We own our own vote. “Appeasement” is a long-ago word now.
The movement has a higher purpose. We now go beyond our Hillary dreams.
The assumption that we can be bought is so damned condescending. He’s already bought off the sycophants. We are the ones who see through the veil.
PUMAs –we ROAR today!

2) to reinforce our belief in Senator Clinton as our 44th President.

OFF TOPIC; IF any of my fellow washington redskin fans are here the game is starting NOW..
TOPIC: It’s the Economy, Stupid
The Newer Deal: The path to a Democratic supermajority
http://www.salon.com/opinion/feature/2008/08/15/newer_deal/index.html
Between 1932 and 1964, the Roosevelt Party won seven of nine presidential elections, losing only in 1952 and 1956. Between 1968 and 2004, the Nixon Party won seven out of 10 presidential elections, losing only three times, to Jimmy Carter in 1976 and Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996.
Was this because red-state Rooseveltians were won over to supply-side economics, while blue-state blue-bloods suddenly became enamored of abortion rights and separation of church and state? No. Today’s red-state Republican children of New Deal Democrats still like Social Security, and the Republican grandparents of today’s blue-state Protestant Democrats were in favor of birth control — for the Catholics, in particular. The values of these voting blocs didn’t change. The issues that defined national politics changed.
The Roosevelt Party ran on economic issues, and didn’t care whether voters were in favor of sex or against it on principle as long as they supported the New Deal.
~ ~ ~
p.s. This is where our Hillary really shines, compared to the rest of the candidates, imho… I am really looking forward to hearing her address the issue of our Economy at the Convention.
“Smarter than the average candidate.”

Just donated my first $5 today. Money is tight and I gave everything I could to Hillary, so I have never been able to donate here. However, today it seems so very important. I hope it buys a couple of waters or something for people in Denver. Good luck next week!
Ok everyone. I made this video a couple of weeks ago.
Did not have the courage to post it on youtube. Trish’s courage gave me the confidence to give it another shot.
Composing music is my hobby, so the song is one I wrote and recorded a few years ago. I thought it would make a good backdrop for what I was feeling at the time about what’s going on:

FYI: HBO to have “special” on Helen Thomas next week
“Published on Friday, August 15, 2008 by Reuters
White House Reporter Helen Thomas Profiled on HBO
by Steve Gorman
LOS ANGELES – As a tireless questioner of authority and a consummate Washington insider, pioneering White House correspondent Helen Thomas has covered nine U.S. presidents over a span of nearly a half century.
Next week on cable network HBO, Thomas, 88, makes a rare appearance as an interview subject in a documentary produced and directed by filmmaker Rory Kennedy, whose uncle “Jack” was the first Oval Office occupant Thomas followed as a reporter.
The 38-minute profile, “Thank You, Mr. President: Helen Thomas at the White House,” features the journalist reflecting on her life, career, and devotion to the ideal that democracy thrives best when a vigilant press holds leaders accountable.
“I think that presidents deserve to be questioned, maybe irreverently, most of the time, (to) bring ‘em down a size,” the plain-spoken Thomas says of the particular role of the White House press corps.
On the other hand, she adds, “Access to a president doesn’t mean you’re gonna get the truth.”
It’s a simple but astute observation from a reporter who walked the line between West Wing insider — hobnobbing with presidents, their families and aides — and watchdog.
In one of her more colorful anecdotes, Thomas recounted how she forged ahead in posing a tough question to President Richard Nixon about the Watergate scandal moments after he had publicly congratulated her on being named the first female head of the White House bureau for United Press International.”
Wish we had Helen to pose a few questions to the pretender to the throne.
Hey, anybody hear from Donna Brazile lately? Where has she been hiding? Is she still a superdelegate? Just wondering.

Vote for Hillary Flyer
Dear Pumas,
Last night I designed a Please Vote for Hillary in Denver flyer that I’ll be sending to delegates in California (thanks to the spreadsheet Antifish provided).
I’m willing to share a PDF copy of the flyer with anyone who wants to see it or use it. This flyer is personalized in that I cited the top four reasons I won’t support Obama and why I will vote for McCain instead if Obama is the nominee. So it may not be a good fit for everyone.
However, I will offer to do a limited amount of customization if someone wants me to. (I have to be careful about spending too much time on this and not getting my own work done.)
I also designed an alternate flyer that retains the header and footer, but has about 6 inches in the middle for you to print your own message. I’ll make that available as a PDF file too.
Lastly, I made mailing labels for the California delegates from the spreadsheet Antifish provided. I’ve saved that as a PDF file too, with labels in two different formats.
Contact me at firebellepuma at gmail if you’re interested. ♥

That’s interesting that you mentioned Donna Brazile. Last week, I emailed a letter to the CNN ombudsman. Sorry Pumas, this is a wee bit long!
August 8, 2008
Dear CNN Ombudsman:
I am a member of Puma Pac – People United Means Action. The other night CNN aired a segment about Senator Obama’s dropping poll numbers despite all the advantages of his candidacy. It is no secret to our organization why the public is reluctant to elect him as President. Bill Schneider is correct in one way that Obama’s inexperience is a major drawback to many Americans. However, the issue is deeper than that.
Over 36 million voters took part in the Democratic primaries and caucuses. As Clinton Democrats, we were appalled at the bias media coverage. American voters like to make up their own minds. It is an insult to us to have an untested and unqualified candidate foisted upon us. Because of the one-sided coverage many of us have turned away from your network and others. This country must have a free press that protects the interests of the voters rather than pushing an agenda for one candidate.
There are many examples of poor judgment and commentary from your political programs. Let me cite two examples. Donna Brazile serves as the Democrat advocate on your network. Unfortunately, in private emails to Clinton supporters, she has turned a deaf ear to her role on CNN. Memos sent to Donna were printed on such websites as HillaryClinton.com, Taylor Marsh, and others. Most of the emails questioned her judgment since she obviously favors Obama. In the majority of her replies, she responded with comments to “stop the hate” even though the letters addressed to her were respectful in nature. Her testy replies became more heated after the famous Democratic Party rules meeting in May.
The second example of blatant bias is the commentary by David Gergen during the primaries. Although, I had the utmost respect for him, I was disappointed in his coverage. For example, when Hillary won primaries in WV and KY, he implied that her voters were racists citing exit polling. I believe the voters stated that race played a part. He forgot to say that 64% of Clinton voters in KY were college educated and 61% earned high incomes. In addition, Obama has played the race card. As a result by a 90 to 10 margin, African Americans have voted for him. There is a double standard when it comes to covering the candidates.
As Pumas or Clinton supporters, most of us have been lifelong Democrats and have always voted for the Democratic nominee. If Senator Obama becomes the nominee, we have no choice but to oppose and actively work to defeat him. This cause is also against the Democratic Party. We thought that we had a system where the majority rules. Instead, in races where Hillary won, super delegates endorsed Obama ignoring the will of their constituents.
Although unlikely, if Hillary became the VP nominee, we would still not vote for an Obama/Clinton ticket. He is not qualified to be President. It would be only with Hillary at the top of the ticket. I believe that the reason the Republicans and other groups are able to define Obama’s character is the fact that it is difficult to judge his value system. It is no surprise to us that he has changed positions on public financing, gun control, Iraq, off-shore oil drilling, and so on. The public is not blind to his flaws. The President is the most powerful job in the world. It is a scary thought to have Obama controlling our lives when his main accomplishment has been to raise millions of dollars for the Democratic Party. His judgment call to run for President after only being in the Senate for 140 days speaks volumes that Obama will only put his interests before the public.

I loved our video! You seem very talented. If you ever get nervous about showing your videos, remind me to hit you on the side of your hide. The music was soothing to me and the pics with the fading in and out was terrific.
Keep up the great work and feel free to share your videos with us anytime.

Waiting for McCain and
bama on cnn
Just received my return receipt for the notarized letter I sent re: Donna Brazile… signed by D. Marshall. The letter was sent on the 8th and read as follows:
Democratic National Committee
Credentials Committee
Attn: Alexis Herman
430 S. Capitol St. SE
2nd Floor
Washington, DC 20003
Dear Ms. Herman,
I am writing to demand a meeting of the Rules and Bylaws Committee of the Democratic National Committee to consider the Super Delegate status of Donna Brazile. Early in the primary campaign, Ms. Brazile stated that she would resign as a member of the DNC if the Super Delegates decided the outcome of this election. Because of Ms. Brazile’s provocative and divisive statement, which is in direct contradiction of the stated role of Super Delegates, she calls into serious question her commitment to our party and to the democratic process.
By using threatening, biased, and divisive actions throughout this campaign season, Ms. Brazile does NOT deserve the status of Super Delegate to our Convention. Once again I remind you she stated on national television that she would resign if events during the primaries and caucuses led to a selection of our nominee by Super Delegates. This turn of events has indeed come to pass, and Ms. Brazile should be held to her word. She proclaims loudly and often that she is a person of honor and integrity. Now is her opportunity to show by her actions, for once, that this is true.
Sincerely,
♣

Take it upstairs!
I just saw this article today. Perhaps, it has already been posted.
From the article by Dick Morris:
It would be a mistake to think that Hillary’s campaign against Obama is over. She and Bill both realize that if McCain wins, she would be the likely Democratic nominee against him in 2012.

They do tricks , they come when you call there name and give kisses. (yes paid money for them too at pet store) so no picking on rats..lol
Is Murphy doing a radio show tonight?

Your letter was well thought out, respectful and were clear on the points you made and what the reasoning was. I especially liked the parts where you talk about Americans making up their own mind and were VERY clear that we will not vote for him.
Keep up the awesome work and thank you for doing those things others of us can’t do!
The talent on here is incredible. I hope whenever Murphy writes a book about all of this that she talks about the diversified, talented, hard-working, focused and caring PUMAS!.

Quick story:
I have a grey kitten named Myst. I’ve had her since she was 2 or 3 days old. She was abandoned and I’m her mommy. She’s about 11 weeks old now and I call her my little puma. I have a 70 pound dog and little Myst chases Mindy all over the house nipping at her heels. I always think of Rendell’s Hounds. Moral of the story: no matter how small the PUMA, they fear no HOUNDS.
Hi, PUMAs,
I just donated an additional $5.00 for a sign in my name. Is anyone keeping track of the sign donations?
I would like my sign to say:
NYCgirl says:
PUMAs ROCK DENVER!
NYC FOR HRC
I do not yet have someone to hold my sign. I hope people will be taking pictures of our wonderful PUMAs carrying our signs in Denver!
ROCK ON, VALIANT PUMAs!!

Thanks Dances.
Comes upstairs, Pumas. We’re lonely.
Roland Martin on CNN just called voters who are nervous about Obama’s name ‘idiots’. Wow his campaign is really reaching out to the voters.
Watch them on Fox. Boycott CNN and MSNBC!!!!
Our country getting crazy with the bo supporters!!! Now Jackson Browne is suing McCain for using part of his song!!! (And what about all the free airtime he got from having an old song promoted??????)

Thank you, again! Thanks to Trish for putting hers out there.
Ok, here’s another trick:
If you try to make these diamonds:
<> <> <>
they will disappear when you submit your post… They are the brackets you use to enclose code-tags for making text bold or italics, etc.
<b>for making text bold</b>
<i>for making text italics</i>
Now if you want the bracket “diamonds” to NOT disappear, just type two left angle-brackets <> and you’ll have this (3X):
<> < > <>
Almost as nice as this:

Well said. Nail that evil woman. She deserves no status except for being a devious, vicious, narcissitic snake. I hope the decision happens before the dem convention and she has to pay for all of her expenses as a non-SD.
Okay, that was my tangent.
Wanted to ask, was your bmw recalled for the passenger airbag thing?

Thank you for the compliments. I believe that all our letters, emails, blogging, flyers, postcards, videos, and so on are having an impact.
The media bias is backfiring on *61 and driving the voters to McCain. I’m going to wait for the Puma analysis of the Warren broadcast between McCain and *61.
Looking forward to watching the video that everyone is talking about.

I’ll never get through all of these posts. I have to go to bed early to get up at 4:00 am to leave here at 6:00 am
to get to Erie at 8:00 am for the plane..
People are talking about the wrong book. I read the first 20 pages of The Obama Nation, and it wasn’t getting to the point.
The other book “The Case Against Barack Obama — The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media’s Favorite Candidate” by David Freddoso.
I found what I was looking for on the first page of this book. “Barack Obama is a mere man. Even worse, he is a politician. Obama claims to be a new kind of politician – a candidate who will rise above petty partisan divides and bring us a new era of “change”.
That is his rhetoric, anyway.
Here is what he really is: A shewd, Machine-aligned politician from Chicago — the kind who “won’t make no waves and won’t back no losers. A left-liberal politician in the mold of Hillary Clinton, John kerry, and Walter Mondale. A charismatic, smooth-talking politician whose words make people faint..
This is the book for me. I wish you all could spread the word about this book. It could sink bo’s ship. Hope is what we have.
Keep believing…

I read your letter to the CNN ombudsman. More power to you for taking that initiative and writing a very thoughtful letter. You expressed a lot of ideas beautifully and I may rip off a sentence of two if you don’t mind for my own future writing!
If you plan to use that letter as a template for future letters, I have a couple of uninvited suggestions, if you’re interested:
1st paragraph: The more accurate, the better. Instead of saying “The other night…” see if you can actually pinpoint the date.
2nd paragraph: The way I’m hearing your argument, it sounds like a contradiction. On the one hand you’re asserting that Americans like to make up their own minds, while at the same time highlighting media bias. My feeling is that if Americans like to make up their own minds, media bias shouldn’t matter. But that’s probably a very subjective thing i.e., the way it strikes me own logic. But, my perspective is that the media impacts how people think because of the information it disseminates. Therefore, if the media doesn’t do it’s job by remaining objective, the public receives imbalanced reporting that subsequently may result in shifts in public opinion one way or another. Also, just a grammatical issue: I think you’ve used the word “bias” when it should be “biased”.
3rd paragraph: Instead of referring to the RBC meeting as “famous”, I’d at the very least refer to it by name.
4th paragraph: I would refer to Hillary as Senator Clinton as a sign of respect. Secondly, I think your argument is a little confused. First you state the media citing of racism playing a part in he WV and KY primaries. Then you concur that voters (and I would have said some voters) acknowledged that race did play a part. Then you cite education and income stats as if educated and/or well off folks can’t be racist as well.
5th paragraph: Needs a bit more work honing your idea. First, I think a message is always most powerful, credible and honest when it comes from an individual when you speak for yourself. You can’t truly make blanket statements re: how Clinton supporters and/or PUMA’s have voted in the past. I also think that saying “…we have no choice…” weakens your argument. Stronger to say what we have chosen instead (but I think that’s also very subjective). The sentence: “This cause is also against the Democratic Party” is a huge statement that comes a bit out of nowhere and could probably be better stated and explained. Finally, the last argument in this paragraph is false. Superdelegates are not obligated to vote in any specific way, including how their constituents (if they are elected officials) voted. Even Senator Clinton was trying to point that out during the primaries, particularly when Obama started to pull ahead of her.
6th paragraph: By this point, the letter is starting to feel like it’s hitting too many issues that are starting to come out of nowhere. It’s far into the letter to raise an entirely new issue and as a result it felt like you were starting to ramble a bit. If you want to bring up lots of stuff, best to consider listing what you’ll be covering in the opening, introductory paragraph. Then, as each issue arises in the letter, the reader has a reference point. Also, the third sentence is not grammatical. In general, I felt like you became less articulate as the letter progressed, perhaps as your emotions rose and your fingers got tired! Overall, this paragraph is a bit all over the place with sentences that could use more attention. The fourth sentence is one example. And, again, since the letter is from you and not PUMApac, I’d stay away from language like “us” and stick with “I”.
I think “The President…” should be a new paragraph and it’s worth saying The President of the United States.
Finally, I would consider a summary paragraph, which needn’t be long.
I hope my uninvited comments don’t offend you. I took the time to print your letter and write this precisely because I could see not only how passionate you were in writing it, but that you were taking care in how you were crafting your arguments. Please consider my comments an enthusiastic round of applause to prod you on in your writing endeavors!
Sunny PA – I sent you an e-mail, but hit “reply” instead of using your other e-mail address. Sorry. Will try not to do that next time.
Whoa!!! I can appreciate a man wanting to pay honor to his wife, for sure. But Michelle Obama is NOT someone I want the future president to hold as one of his 3 most important advisers, NOT EVEN, NOT EVER!
Based on this evenings conversation, McCain gets my vote.

I am going to be blunt. Your letter was not helpful. I couldn’t disagree with you more. I’ve copied many Puma letters and they all have several things in common. They promote our message and come from the heart. Even if it is grammatically incorrect, it is more important for us to promote our cause.
I disagree with your idea that I am only speaking for myself. Puma Pac, JustSayNoDeal, and others, all came together because we were disgusted with Obama and the DP. Two months ago no one in the media had ever heard of Puma or 18 Million Voices.
I stand by my comments about Gergen’s remarks. He implied that Hillary’s voters in WV and KY were racists. He took one stat from exit polling and labeled these voters. When a commentator implies race, I also think of class differences. There were other parts of the polling describing Hillary’s voters as well educated with upper incomes.
My last two paragraphs were not rambling. Obama’s flip flops, Hillary’s name as the VP, and others definining Obama are political cultural events that are unfolding daily.
What good is it to write a perfect pitch letter if Obama becomes the President? WE NEED TO GET OUR MESSAGE OUT NOW!
This nation is one week away from nominating the scariest and weakest Democratic nominee in recent history. Your focus should be on defeating Obama and not another Puma’s grammar or letter.
Tomescu takes the women’s marathon with a blistering effort. Wow, what a champion!!! Endurance, tenacity, conviction-is she was an American, she would be a puma.
This from taylor marsh-McCain came with policy talking points and a goal. Our guy better get a debate drill sargeant in and do some work, because so far there’s no evidence he’s going to best McCain in them
Duh, are you just figuring that out TM?
