We have a full press release and Schedule of Activities being released today of ALL of our activities and locations in Denver. I will post it here just as soon as it is ready.
Two quick notes: Please read these two articles today and plan to take action. One is by Riverdaughter, the other by Heidi Li. (Oh, and while you’re at it — read Anglachel. She’s like vitamins — must take every day.) Both explain why it is that we cannot afford to rest on our laurels and assume that the Obama Movement and the DONC will follow the rules in Denver. We must continue to contact super delegates and delegates. Please use the lobbydelegates site as well as your own knowledege of Super Delegates in your state to make sure they get the message: A SYMBOLIC SHOW IS NOT ENOUGH. SENATOR CLINTON’S DELEGATES MUST BE ALLOWED TO PLACE REAL VOTES THAT COUNT DURING THE ROLL CALL.
Second, our weekend Fundraising ROAR! was a Smashing Success! Our goal was to raise $10,000 over the weekend. Well, we reached and exceeded that goal by a long way. I finally was able to tally the account this morning and guess what? We didn’t raise $10,000 dollars,
PUMA PAC MEMBERS RAISED $17,749.44!!!
Congratulations Puma PAC, and THANK YOU! We now head to Denver with as many Puma PAC members as we can help to get there, knowing that we have sufficient funds to make sure our presence is organized, effective, and LOUD! Now we focus on MAKING HISTORY, our number one goal all along.
oh, and p.s. — I sent out a PROWL this morning. Mamapuma is on vacation for a few days (how dare she!) so please forgive the absolutely ugly formatting. Don’t judge the book by the cover, though — just because it’s ugly doesn’t mean it’s not true. heh-heh.)
Today is a new day Puma PAC, be wonderful to each other!

Murphy,
I hope I read the prowl right. This is the letter that I submitted to that website. I forgot to sign it puma…sorry.
Dear Editor:
There has been a lot of talk about the book Obama Nation by Jerome Corsi that contains information about Barack Obama.
The Obama campaign claims that the author is fabricating lies in his book. Although I have not yet purchased the book I have read exerpts that have been printed on the internet. From what I have read I know that at least some of the information is factually true because I have done my own research.
I would recommend the book to anyone wanting to research the candidate because it gives a lot of information and it’s sources for people to look into.
The Obama campaign has already been caught in lies such as the phoney birth certificate that was posted on his site (now removed)so it is our responsibility as voters to find the truth on our own.
from downstairs… #505 TerryDo
That’s because the vampyric chosen one’s campaign siphons off the money that the DNC used to pull in. The chosen one’s gonna look the fool when he’s outspending the opposition (again) and is still losing… assuming of course that he makes it past the convention

It seems one cannot do anything for the DONC without them asking for a donation…. They should go and ask George Soros and Oprah for more money. They know how to filter their millions through the masses in their churches and corporations.
Here is my letter
I am currently reading this book and frankly would like Senator Obama to clear up this mess. None of this is new infromation as I have heard almost all of it before, but as of today, it has not been cleared up by Senator Obama himself. I cannot vote for a candidate who is this unvetted. I know that Mr Corsi is a controversial person but I along with many other voters are asking ourselves these very SAME questions. Senator Obama needs to be vetted properly to be the leader of the this country and I for one will no longer give my vote to a party who runs these types of candidates.
#1 TexasSherry
I read The Obama Nation, it was a very “good” book.
I also read it in conjunction with “The case against Obama” which is also a must read. If you read both
books you will learn everything you need to know about Obama. I suggest everyone read these books and pass them on to their friends to read. One subject that I found highly enlightening was how Obama is using Saul Alinsky tactics to the extreme to “game” his supporters and to make “fools” out of them. It would serve them well to read these books to uncover how they’ve been scammed by Obama.
Help – I didn’t receive my prowls. What are we supposed to do today?
This is my letter in reply to Tom Blackwell:
Thank you for your reply. I am a little confused by it, as you do not really tell me much. We know that Senator Clinton’s name will be in nomination. That appears to be a great victory for democracy and for her supporters.
What is more important though, is that she actually come out of the convention as the party’s nominee. We know that Mr. Obama is not going to win in the November general election. All his poll numbers continue to decline. I will admit that I am partly to blame for that, as I am not planning to vote for him under any circumstances.
Recent developments around the world, in the Obama campaign, in the recent votes he has cast, and the positions he has taken on numerous issues has led me to believe he is not up to the job of running our country. We need a strong and effective nominee who can actually run the country once elected. Hillary Clinton is that person.
Please join us, the millions of thinking Democrats, in making sure that Hillary Clinton comes out of the convention with the nomination. You and other Super Delegates can make it happen. You don’t have to do a big braggy show of it, you simply have to quietly go to the convention and vote for her to be the nominee. You might want to call as many of your like minded Super Delegates an ask them to save our country by doing the same.
This is a critical time in our nation’s history. We have a legislative branch that has accomplished very little, a current president who has accomplished way to much of the wrong thing, and a presumptive Democratic Nominee who is absolutely NOT capable of handling the task of restoration of our nation. I, and others like me, have worked diligently to change this. We NEED Hillary Clinton to be our president like never before.
Please do the right thing for our country. In doing so, the party will be unified. Those who would not assist us are not doing the right thing. Somewhere deep in their souls, these people know that Obama is the WRONG candidate to take on these problems and solve them.
Again, please join us in making the changes that are necessary to right the problems of our nation. Work with us to nominate and elect Hillary Clinton as our next president.

A quick read with a PUMA mention but be prepared to feel angered again.
MY RESPONSE TO TEXAS DELEGATE TOM BLACKWELL:
Dear Mr. Blackwell,
Thank you for your respectful response to my email. I am pleased to hear that you are still supporting Hillary Clinton for president. Also I appreciate your acknowledgement of our group Pumapac and all of our hard work. We are just average citizens that love our country and will always put country before party.
This years primary has been so corrupt and it will be our group’s goal after the primary to clean up the democratic party. I am glad that you are not one of those insider politians that have been supporting this. I will be watching the convention very closely and also listening to Hillary speak. I hope that she doesn’t ask us to vote for Obama because I would have to decline her request. Although he is running as a democrat I do not believe that if he was elected that he would accomplish any of the issues that are important to us. I also think he would be a terrible commander in chief due to his lack of experience and his arrogant style.
I will definitely consider voting for Rick Noriega after I have completed research on him and find him to be a viable candidate. I have in the past been guilty of voting for party without even knowing who I was voting for. That time has changed and I will no longer vote without educating myself. It is time to have a president that represents the majoriy of Americans. Hillary Clinton fits that mold and I hope that we see a miracle at the Denver convention and she comes out the nominee.
Thank you again for your reply and your support of Hillary.
Regards,
S. Shook Clifton, TX PUMA

Great letter, Texas! Love your polite but firm sticking to your guns! And reminding him Dems have to earn your vote…..Very nice.
I must not be signed up for prowls or something..I never get them
NHFORHILLARY
Well, you got my attention 2 days in a row!
Nice letter. Reminds me of a true story. I was on the Red Line at the MIT station when who gets on the train but Dr. Robert Sokol, Nobel laureate in Economics. I was so excited… Robert Sokol takes the MBTA! What a vote of confidence for public transport. I wanted to share my enthusiasm with someone, anyone. But who of my fellow passengers would appreciate the significance of the event? I looked around. Then, I saw her, a woman across from me, reading a book. I thought, at least I know, she’s literate. I leaned over to get her attention, and pointed out our illustrious travel companion to her. She smiled politely. ‘That’s nice,’ she said, and went back to reading.
#13 BrooklynNY,
Thank you. I try.
Prowl done….and I received this in my mail
ACTION ALERT
PUMAs!
Yes, we’ve been told that Hillary’s name will be placed into nomination…but now we need to help make sure that that actually happens… and that it MATTERS !!
First, we need to let Hillary know (in a heartfelt and respectful manner) that we want her to retain her delegates… and that we do *not* want her to discourage them from voting for her!:
http://www.hillpac.com/action/issues/?sc=2498&utm_source=2498&utm_medium=e
Next, we need to contact Phil McNamara (Director of Party Affairs and Delegate Selection) and (respectfully but firmly) “ask” that the delegate voting process be a *fair* and *legitimate* one!:
http://www.demconvention.com/ask-phil
Finally, for more information on these matters, please read Heidi Li Feldman’s latest articles at:

THANK you!

Posted this at the end of prior thread…my request for help.
Today’s prowl. I don’t know enough about Corsi’s book to make informed comments. I have been mostly away from our site for a week for family obligations. Now I need to catch up.
Is there a site that discusses Corsi’s book, perhaps highlighting the salient points?
Must the prowl provide comments referring to the book?
Here’s my letter regarding Corsi’s book, “Obama Nation”, which was e-mailed to several newspapers around the country:
“I believe that Corsi’s book “Obama Nation” touches on allegations that Barack Obama needs to address himself, i.e. he needs to prove them false, by discussing them in a public forum.
American citizens know very, very little about Senator Obama, other than that he is for “change” (whatever that means), and that he has been “chosen” by the DNC and the media over an obviously more qualified female candidate, Senator Hillary Clinton.
If Senator Obama is more than “an empty suit” as has been suggested by some, then let him prove that in his own words, and in a public forum. If he is a man of substance, and if he is being unfairly depicted he should have nothing to fear.”
A big thank you to all the PUMA’s who have participated in the prowls which have made our group a force to deal with now and in the fall. I believe your work was one of the driving forces in having Hill’s name put into nomination and giving her the recognition she deserves at the convention. Due to work requirements this summer, I have not been able to participate in the prowls. But I do read of your efforts almost daily and feel so much pride in your commitment and work.
I made a contribution last night as a giant thank you for all your efforts and to help those who are able to go to Denver. I just wish I could join you. Good luck at the convention and do not be abused or intimidated by the OB koolaid crowd.

I threw together a quick video as a tribute to Hillary if anyone would like to check it out.
i’m trying to create a few Hillary videos for Denver.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4bCqEW4uSA&feature=email
**************************
Very good video Trish but I couldn’t hear all of the words (probably my compter) and the lyrics sounded so melancholy so I thought I would print them here.
Sounds like a secret message from Hillary;
You can’t leave me now, I haven’t left you yet.
Kristin Hersh Me And My Charms lyrics
You can come back when you want to
just know that I’ll be here
I haven’t left this step
and when the lights go out
I pick the angel up
I only have two hands…
Is she here? is she here right now?
drive her off; don’t bother to call
I’m checking out today…
Me and My charms
When I kiss the angel I have a taste of you
When I take the angel I have a piece of you
I have a piece
You can come back
I haven’t left you yet
and when the lights go out
I pick the angel up
I only have two left feet
All I have in my hands, me and my charms
When I kiss the angel I have a taste of me and my charms
me and my charms down on the ground
You can’t leave me now
I haven’t left you yet
Dear D. Murphy and all PUMAs,
Congratulations! Well done!!
PUMA PAC MEMBERS RAISED $17,749.44!!!
Congratulations Puma PAC, and THANK YOU! We now head to Denver with as many Puma PAC members as we can help to get there, knowing that we have sufficient funds to make sure our presence is organized, effective, and LOUD! Now we focus on MAKING HISTORY, our number one goal all along.

LOVE TODAY’S PROWL:
Here is my letter to the editors.
I find it refreshing to finally see a book that is questioning the democratic (selected) nominee. Mr. Obama has not been properly vetted and I for one have many questions that are left unanswered by the DNC. Mr. Obama was mostly an unknown until 17 months ago and that is scary to me since he wants to lead our nation. He has 145 days of Senate experience and that is it. He has been linked to very anti-american people that he considers friends including his ex-pastor who spewed hatred from his pulpit and Mr. Obama spent 20 years in that congregation. The DNC is now trying to paint Obama as this apple pie american and I for one am not buying it a bit. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by over 300,000 votes and yet the DNC puts their golden child up front. This has been orchestrated from the beginning. I welcome Mr. Corsi’s book. We need someone to tell the American people about a candidate who is running for President since the DNC seems to cover everything up.
Sincerely,
xxxxxxxx

Wow. Wonderful. You put him on notice, being sponsored by the club is no longer a sufficient endorsement. That’s the whole point. They spoiled the brand. (Ooh, that’s funny, speaking of TX.)
Could you do me a favor? TX letters are done – Maryland SWORE she would get these letters into the PROWL by tomorrow – except for one piece of information: the cite to the law (or rule or session bill or…) that requires pledged delegates to follow their candidates into the convention. Could you please call the Secretary of State, elections division, to ask for this cite?

DNC and NOBAMA have exposed how racist is the democratic party. If you support McCain you’re racist, if you support Hillary you’re racist. Dean is now playing the race card with NOBAMA at the helm, I’m waiting for Clyburn to do the same thing too – then we can have THREE STOOGES OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!
these might be fun to wear at the convention..cheek decals.

GA Moderate
A few days ago, we did a great PROWL for pumas from GA. If you want to do this, email me. twice my name at gm.
Nancy Pelosi – Not too long ago I made a statement about how not much changes when we go from Republican to Democrat in the Congress and vice versa. Here’s an example:
In July, federal authorities indicted Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, on corruption charges on the grounds that Alaska’s Prince of Earmarks concealed hundreds of thousands of dollars of gifts and improvements to his Alaska home provided by a powerful oil services company. Also this summer, amid the mortgage meltdown, newspapers reported that a number of senators – including Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., Kent Conrad, D-N.D., and Barack Obama, D.-Ill. – were the beneficiaries of sweetheart home loans.
In June, the Senate Ethics Committee began an initial look into Dodd’s and Conrad’s discounted Countrywide Financial VIP loans, as is fitting. Meanwhile, with all of the ethics stinkbombs lurking in Washington, the committee, chaired by California Democrat Barbara Boxer, is aiming its guns at Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., for “a serious violation of Senate rules.”
Coburn’s bad? An obstetrician by profession, Coburn won’t heed the committee’s threat to reprimand him for delivering babies back home in Oklahoma – for free.
“On my own time, I’m taking care of women who have a need, and I’m going to continue to deliver babies,” Coburn told Politico.com.
And, bully for him: “I’m not going to stop.”
When a member of the House, Coburn delivered 400 babies under an agreement with ethics meisters that allowed him to do so – if he charged only enough to cover his expenses.
When elected to the Senate, which was first run by Republicans and now Democrats, Ethics Committee members told Coburn that if he wants to treat patients – largely poor and “at risk” mothers – he could not charge them, and thus would have to eat the costs of his practice.
The Senate Ethics Committee allows big-buck book deals for U.S. senators, but in a May memorandum, it told Coburn “you are allowed to practice medicine if you provide such services for free.” So he started working for nothing.
Even free wasn’t good enough.
After the Muskogee Regional Medical Center, where he practices, was taken over by a for-profit operation, the committee told Coburn to cease “providing any and all medical services” by June 22, pursuant to Senate Rule 37 on conflicts of interest. Coburn could practice medicine only as a solo practitioner, for a private entity that provides services for free or for a government or tribal health facility.
What’s really going on here? The senator – who prefers to be called Dr. Coburn – has been a thorn in side of both big-spending Republicans and Democrats. He calls earmarks “the gateway drug” to Washington’s spending addiction. The Washington Post’s Dana Milbank wrote back in 2006 when the GOP ran the Senate, “Tom Coburn is like an imam at a pig roast. He sees pork everywhere, and he doesn’t like it.”
Coburn bucked party leaders as he tried to block Stevens’ $229 million earmark, largely for a bridge between Ketchikan and an island with 50 residents, infamously dubbed the “Bridge to Nowhere.”
When Democrats took over the Senate, Coburn challenged their pork-barrel projects as well. In July, when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid bundled 35 spending bills into a $10 billion omnibus package, Coburn successfully led the charge to block the measure – citing next year’s projected $482 billion deficit. As Coburn likes to say, the American people elect senators to “make hard choices and live within our means.”
After I called Sen. Boxer’s office, a committee spokesperson sent me a note that said, “The work of the Ethics Committee is confidential and we cannot comment on matters that may be before it.” In July, Boxer told the Washington Post, “He knows what he’s supposed to be doing.”
The savvy observer has to conclude that because Coburn has challenged Senate pork, the Ethics Committee essentially is willing to stick it to poor pregnant women, who might benefit from a free delivery.
It’s a tactical blunder. If the committee continues to push for a public reprimand, Coburn has the right to ask for a full Senate vote. While Boxer may not mind coming across as petty and vindictive, other senators might hesitate before publicly bullying a man for delivering babies for free.
As Coburn spokesman John Hart noted, there have been many stories about lawmakers, their friends and families profiting from earmarks, but “no one has ever chosen to have Dr. Coburn deliver her baby in order to sway his vote.”
With Democrats in charge, the Senate Select Committee on Ethics is no more ethical than it was under the GOP. In going after Coburn, its mandate is clear: Forget Ethics, it’s Payback Time.
To comment, e-mail Debra J. Saunders at dsaunders@sfchronicle.com.
This article appeared on page B – 7 of the San Francisco Chronicle
So what’s good for the goose, is good for the gander. Congress is a mess. If we don’t put in some checks and balances in government, this whole pork barrel, ethics junk will just continue to happen no which Party is in control.
#26 TX Puma
Way ahead of ya! They’re not glitter, had to consider the menfolk, but we have paw print temp tattoos coming!
Prowl Done, My Letter:
There seems to be much controversy by the Obama campaign about Jerome Corsi’s book Obama Nation.
I have read Corsi’s book and it without question his book confirmed all that I have been researching and have already learned about Obama in the past year. And as a PUMA PAC member I took the time to do this research. Obama is making great efforts in avoiding to reveal who he really is. If you don not know, if you are not sure, then I strongly suggest that you make every effort acquiring a copy of this book and read it! Then I will assure you that that lies are NOT coming from Corsi, rather they are from Obama himself. Corsi presents with objectivity and accuracy in his findings.
As a voter you need to know the truth! And trust me, you may not like it.
ANYONE???
I just ran back in to check for Prowl and there was an email from a TOM BLACKWELL on my computer . It was on my regular work email and not the one I use for PUMA.
Because I am paranoid (having been attacked in July), I am afraid to open it.
Did anyone else get one?
Why even have a convention any more? No one is following the rules. It’s a big expense for a big party.
Forgot to say it was RE: Roll Call
#31 I got one also. Read some posts above. It is okay
#26 Texas
One of the Olympic runners had on a cheek tatoo last night or yesterday (whatever time zone China is in). It was really smart looking. She was from Jamacia.
29 Cool!! No surprise …almost everyone is ahead of me!!
I will continue to see about the custom. Perhaps they would sell has a fund raiser….again my treat if I get the job done.
Today’s Prowl Entry:
I am reassured that someone has FINALLY taken the time to summarize all of the concerning items in Barack Obama’s background.
Clearly, the mainstream media was predisposed to develop their “school-girl’s crush” on this charismatic, yet unqualified candidate. Once smitten, reporters failed to ask any of the questions that we, as voters, needed to make an accurate assessment of Barack’s curriculum vitae.
Senator Obama is a product of corrupt, rough-and-tumble Chicago politics. His association with numerous unsavory, anti-American individuals brings his judgement into serious question and his experience is glaringly lacking.
Thank you, Jerome Corsi, for having the guts to expose this unvetted, unqualified pawn of the radical Left.
Proud Member of PUMA Pac
I haven’t read the book yet either, but I’ve certainly seen Corsi enough on TV and i agree with others who have said, if he tells his whole story and let’s people know who he really is….he has less of a chance than he does now!!
Off to read Riverdqaughter and Heidi….talk later
We go to college bowl games and the girls always have the mascot of their team on their cheeks…they look so cute!!
#37 just.words… on 08.18.08 at 1:08 pm
Fabulous letter! I’d say that one has a 100% chance of being published. The language and format is just what LTE editors love.
85 SNAIL MAIL letters to pledged Clinton PA delegates, and 25 SNAIL MAIL letters to PA Superdelegates for a total of 110 letters going out in TODAY’s mail.
Prowl #1 from Will complete (begging Hillary to retain her delegates).
Time for a lunch break and then the rest of the prowls.
e: Cindy McCain
In addition to all the positive information from the article posted on the previous thread, Cindy McCain has a menagerie of pets, including several ferrets which John doesn’t like to have around.
Re: Tom Blackwell
My reply to him contained a carrot and a stick. A carrot because he acknowledged us and did not call us repubs, and a stick about the democratic party fraud and the Texas caucus debacle. These are politician, of course. They smooze and have hidden meaning in their letters. I got a kick out of how he turned it around to an appeal for support for a Texas candidate. Fair is fair.
Murphy,
I got this link in my email this morning. I think we should do one prowl and only to the superdelegates that are in this video.
Sounds to me like Obama and Pelosi bought the nomination.

Ok so I got stuck down stairs again talking to myself.
Repost from downstairs to 485 BarbNOBO and her article about Cindy McCain
I knew I liked Cindy I have liked her ever since I found out she was an animal lover. I even had jokingly put out on the blog one day that I would like to see her as Hillary’s vice president when people were sometimes throwing out there a team up of Hillary and John McCain as being better than Hillary and Obama.
#21 TerryDo
Thank you for printing the words, I noticed this morning her voice was softer than the music, I think it’s the version I have. I so love that song and thought it was perfect for Hillary.

After I read this article, I will also contact Senator Coburn. Assuming all you about his situation say is true – I already know about Alaska and the sweetheart mortgages – this is the type of government actor who should be considered for the “Profile in Courage Award” handed out by Caroline Kennedy. I think I will nominate him. (I am being serious here, people. There really is such an award; and it is given to both R’s and D’s, for standing up for what’s right.)

Fabulous… Absolutely fabulous. If PA was a pledged delegate state, I would have written to Governor Rendell, personally. (Even before I checked, I suspected they had no such law, after seeing Mr. Rendell lying on t.v. that ‘with no robot law, there’s no such thing as a ‘pledged’ delegate anymore. Well, Big Ed, don’t try to tell that to CA, and OR, and TX, and MI…)

Obama picking Biden would expose his lack of self-confidence and need for someone to ‘hold his hand’ while he pretends to be a real POTUS.

My sentiments exactly. They should just call it what it is. A campaign pep rally. But that would require being truthful, from an organization that is definitely “truth challenged”.
Congratulations Pumas! Tremendous fundraising effort, and I’m so glad that many Pumas will be able to make it to Denver. Wish I could get time off from work to join you all.
Power to the Pumas!
PUMA prowls work!
I ran into one of the Hillary delegates to Denver from my county last night. He said he had been getting hundreds of emails every day, and that he had signed the petition to put Hillary name in nomination! He said, “It’s the right thing to do. Hillary deserves it, and I owe it to the everyone who voted for me as a National Delegate.” I usually just lurk, but I thought you would like to hear about this.

*******************************
Hi LilyMaid, I would advise you to read these Pumas comments listed below.
That might help, they all suggest reading Corsi’s book, and arriving at your own conclusions.
Pumas research and then form their own personal comments , plus you can even read Obama’s 41 page rebuttal.
That should give you a pretty rounded opinion. Or you can just believe that your fellow Pumas have done an excellent job of research…(smile)

…continuing to put our energies into… raising awareness about, & helping to change, what’s wrong with the DNC, the Dem Party and the Dem Primaries-system…
… and into… doing all we can to defeat BO

Very true. It is supposed to be a convention to actually determine a nominee, not a pre-determined coronation. Also, I did read somewhere that these conventions are actually partially funded by the people’s money (our money). Apparently, if you choose to check that block on your income tax form that you want to contribute $3 to political something or other, that money goes into a kitty for partially funding these conventions among other things. I never check that block anyway, but I wonder if the people who do actually know that.

I and MANY more will be watching how the voting process will be handled at the Convention…… If the DNC thinks that a symbolic vote for Hillary will at anyway unite the party …they are delusional. If the voting process is NOT fair and legitimate it will do more harm than good. The members of puma ( a coalition of millions ) are very intelligent people and will see through it.
*fair* and *legitimate* one!: NOTHING LESS WILL DO.

Did you send your letter to the New York Times?
If not, please do so.
I sent my e-mails to the newspapers. Then noticed a “thank you” from the DNC. If they only knew what I wrote.
Also Pumas – Great fund raising effort!
Dear Editor:
If the media would properly vet presidential candidates, grassroots organizations such as PUMA PAC and authors such as Jerome Corsi wouldn’t be placed in the undesirable position of letting the public know the truth about the media’s prize candidate. Whatever Jerome Corsi wrote in his book, the Obama Nation, he didn’t deserve to receive death threats over this, a fact that has also received little media coverage. If the Democratic Party or Senator Obama truly objected to the book as being without merit, they’d be suing for libel rather than writing a 40 page rebuttal.
Thank you,

Sure did — I selected all the NY/CT-based options.
Have already received auto-reply confirmation e-mails from Newsday and the Wall Street Journal…
How in the world did Obama ever make it through Harvard Law School and become editor of the Review? Wh held his hand and did the work for him then? He takes Affirmative Action a bit too far.
This is my letter to newspapers in my state re Jerome Corsi’s book about Obama. Feel free to copy it if you wish.
Unlike those Democrats who are writing to newspapers to smear Jerome Corsi’s book about Obama, I have actually read it, and I found that although there might be a few minor errors in it, it does provide a lot of valuable and verifiable information. I am still studying the copious footnotes and tracing his sources, but I think it’s a good job. We must try to be as informed as possible about the candidates we plan to elect and pay close attention to what is said both for and against them.
Hi Pumas, I skipped down so don’t know if this has been addressed.

#64 just.words… on 08.18.08 at 1:50 pm
Excellent!
Given what we know about Vladimir Putin, and the fact that our troops are spread out all over the world, it seems rather naive to think that Russia gives a damn what America says or thinks. It is also the perfect environment for the Precious One to attempt a coup under the guise of the election process for POTUS. God, this country needs to wake up!!!!
I guess it’s not just politicians who go to school, get a great education, leave school and get fantastic jobs making incredible salaries for doing almost nothing. Instead of watching what is going on in common everyday America they are busy playing golf and going to cocktail parties, while an ememy lurks and lays plans to take it all away from them. Think about it!

I would like to how the DNCC proposes to ensure to the average voter that the nominating process taking place in Denver will be FAIR and LEGITIMATE in light of the voter fraud taking place in Alabama, Iowa, and Texas, just to name a few states. I would suggest that the DNCC hires an outside agency that is not under the payroll of the DNC or its PACs to oversee the election balloting process for the convention in Denver. The only way to achieve party unity is through a FAIR and LEGITIMATE roll call ballot, not through a SYMBOLIC vote.
Hi Puma Pals,
today’s prowl completed:
Jerome Corsi brings up questions in his book “Obama Nation” that could have been put to rest a long time ago if Senator Obama had been vetted properly. Why, for example, has Senator Obama not released a legitimate birth certificate? He is running for POTUS! The DNC has really let us down in this primary by picking an unknown, mysterious man to be its darling.
A book like Corsi’s was an inevitability. Criticizing an author is not the way to clear the air. Being forthcoming with the answers and proper documents is.
I am a PUMA democrat.
pumapac.org
I have voted straight Democratic tickets my entire life. This is the first time ever that I am considering something different exactly because of the kinds of issues Jerome Corsi brings up.

Check it out PUMAS–we’re making ‘em sweat!
Check out this post on NoQuarter (re: a pro-BO site, MyDD). Get out the popcorn!!
This from MYDD:
If true, that’s terrible news for us, because it suggests that even if we can massively outspend McCain, we’re still falling behind.
For all the money spent in July, there is no evidence that it had much benefit for Obama.
There’s not much reason to suppose that Obama will end up with a gigantic $$ advantage – maybe 10 or 20 million, give or take a few million.
So, if the extra millions aren’t keeping Obama in the lead, I wonder how the hell are we going to rebuild the lead?
I want some good news. Can anybody cheer me up?
What the heck is going to turn the situation around?
The DNC Convention? Ohmygosh – it looks like an exercise in futility, with all kinds of mind games being played by the PUMAs.
I don’t see the convention helping us much at all.
The VP? Who the heck is going to give Obama a boost? To me, it looks like Hillary is the only one who can get him out of the jam that she created, but he ain’t gonna pick Hillary, so the PUMAs are going to wreak their revenge.
This is not looking good. The way things are going, I would not be surprised to see McCain win the election by an electoral landslide.
I’m sure Obama and his family needed a vacation, but it was during his vacation that the poll numbers really started to tank.

Just received this email from Bill Clinton
_________________________________________
“Dear Msbinmd,
I have played so many roles at so many Democratic National Conventions. I’ve been there as a campaign worker, a governor, a keynote speaker, a nominee, a president, and a former president.
But no convention is quite like your first. There is nothing like seeing for the first time so many people in one place working toward one common purpose: electing the next Democratic president.
It’s an inspiration, and you don’t want to miss it if you have a chance. So I hope you’ll take Hillary up on her offer and contribute by midnight tonight for a chance to attend the Denver convention in person. You’ll get to see Hillary speak on Tuesday, and Barack Obama — the next president of the United States — on Thursday.
And I hear Hillary and you will have a chat — I’ll make sure to stop by.
Enter before midnight tonight for a chance to see me, Hillary, and Barack Obama at the convention in Denver next week!
Join Hillary in Denver. Contribute today.
I know you’ve always been there for Hillary, and she needs you now as she works to pay the small vendors who helped us during the campaign. Hillary’s not going to stop fighting for the issues we all care so much about, and she’s going to need you all the way.
And if you contribute before the midnight deadline, you might have the chance to join Hillary and me in Denver next week for a truly exciting and historic convention. You’re going to get to see an amazing display of Democratic unity in person — you don’t want to miss it.
Contribute before midnight tonight for a chance to join me and Hillary in Denver next week.
Thanks for all the support and help you’ve shown to Hillary. I can tell you that it means the world to her.
Sincerely,
Bill Clinton “
My response to Tom Blackwell:
Hi Tom,
I also look forward to the Democratic National Convention for one main reason. The corruption of the DNC and their convention will be spread all over the main stream media. Hillary is being blackmailed into supporting Obama and she looks like a woman who has a gun to her head while she is doing it. Obama is a man who will do anything to get himself elected; he is all about winning and doesn’t care about this country. It doesn’t matter what Hillary says her delegates will walk out of the convention before they support Obama.
Obama sat on stage at Saddleback and told lie after lie, my favorite being when he answered the question regarding the hardest decision he had to make. He replied the vote on Iraq, what he didn’t mention is he wasn’t in the Senate in 2002. If he lies in church on national television he is telling America he thinks it people are not very smart and he doesn’t respect us, the church he was in, or God. The Democrats need new leadership and be assured we will be working to get any corrupt democrats out of office!
God bless America and save it from the enemy within!
I have been away for a while. There is so much activity, I can’t believe that we are so close to the convention.
To be honest, I don’t think there is a large chance for Hillary to be the POTUS candidate. But, the highest priority is the defeat of the pretender and regain the party.
I left the democratic party in June.
I do intend to be at the PUMA gatherings in Denver!!!

I don’t know what this message means “You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down.” I had tried to post only once.
Seems not to have worked. My point is that I cannot believe a group of smart women are supporting Corsi, the man who swift-boated John Kerry. Why would you assume that his Obama book would be any more truthful than his Kerry book? We can criticize Obama without resorting to such sleaze. Are we operating on the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend?
People please make this easy. Go to publishaletter.com select United states hit start, and go from there. You can choose a state and a paper. Copy your letter and you can easily send it to DOZENS of papers in a matter of minutes. Thanks to scath (are you lurking still???) for providing this amazing link!!!

STOPPING HARASSMENT OF STATE PLEDGED DELEGATES PROWL
Sunny PA
I just read the late comments from yesterday. If you saw my laudatory comment to you today, you now realize that your state, PA, was not one of the states in ‘my’ prowl since PA has no state law requiring pledged delegates to hold their votes and, therefore, encouraging these delegates to change their endorsements does not violate any law. (I pointed out in a previous comment PA wasn’t a ‘pledged’ state.) Also, just because these state delegate prowls have not gone out yet to any other of those ‘pledged’ states except GA does not mean I have not already researched which states have such laws; searched out those laws for these states; found out the names and contact information for the Attorneys General, Secretaries of State, and Democratic Party Chairs in those states; and perfected a letter for each state containing the information specific to each state’s circumstances; and forwarded these completed letters to someone else for processing. (I put together the GA prowl all by myself, including assembling emails of Georgian PUMAs and granting them access to the applicable spread sheet; and recruiting support to email the letter to the newspapers, because these letters weren’t getting out otherwise. But there was no way I could continue to process both the ‘legal’ letters and their distribution and get these letters out in time to achieve their desire purpose.)
Again, nice job getting out those letters to PA.
jbjd: That’s precisely why we mailed out the “please vote for Senator Clinton” letters. Knowing which states had “shaky” pledged delegates was very useful.

I saw Corsi on Lou Dobbs last week, before anyone else and then watched the media circle the wagons, even saying it is fiction at the end of Lou’s show by C. Brown. The fact is nothing of the substance of the book or man is to be discussed until the powers that be want it to be, I wrote to every media show and B.O. ridden website since March stating that as the plan for stickin us with a guaranteed loser. No one was listening, but we watched it happen. What’s needed here is a publisist, not just letters to editors but press releases, you sedn it-make the news rather than wait for their slant. Each individual has the capacity to make history, that chain of events called history are peoples’ actions. Malaise is not the problem, waiting for the next story the next development has let us become led by the nose. Reaction almost criminalized, 18 million votes ridiculed, lied about and called news? Call them on it AS IT occurs, like the warping of Convention rules, processes calling any contest a division. We are united against prearranged candidates, cheating and losing despite greater voter counts. Just as I could not buy Monsanto stock on principle I cannot vote for the party tying the knot of global corporations controling our society. I’d rather be free to prosper than be ‘predictable’ as B. Gates wants, thanks. Only Hillary can get us there. Send the media press releases.

Subject [edit] Obama is unqualified to be President
Message [edit] I have read Obama Nation and it is very credible. At no time in a presidential campaign has a candidate had to put out a 40 page rebuttal to defend himself. I believe where there is smoke there is fire. I have not found anything in Corsi’s book that is not credible. Sen. Obama is unqualified to run this country and has stolen the nomination with the help of the corrupt DNC. I cannot forget about Rev. Wright and Obama sitting in that church for 20 years and lying that he did not hear Rev. Wright preach hate against America. I cannot forget that Sen. Obama said getting involved with Tony Rezco was a “boneheaded mistake.” I cannot forget about his close ties with Bill Ayers, the unrepentent terrorist. Sen. Obama changes positions every day by pandering to the electorate. Sen. Obama is a pathological liar, untrustworthy and not fit to run this country.
#84 sallyneary…
Maybe Corsi did for American Voters what the Obama Campaign, Democratic Party, and the mainstram Media would not – gave us a view from behind the scenes of the fairytale.
P.S. Also called Charlie Rangel’s office. I swear, I’m amazed that people working for sitting members of congress and the senate are so unaware. The woman I spoke to didn’t know half of the stuff I told her, also said Clinton dropped out of the race. I had to remind her that she only suspended and she still has her delegates. Had to insist that she tell Rangel to support Clinton and tell all the other NY delegates to do the same. She seemed dazed. Unreal!
NYCgirl
Don’t worry… someone will definitely carry a sign with your name if you paid your $5 I believe how it works is, if you want a specific PUMA to carry your sign you have to let them know. If you don’t require a specific PUMA to carry your sign then someone will be randomly chosen to carry one with your name. I also paid for a sign and it doesn’t matter who carries mine as long as it a PUMA!!!

Sallyneary…I didn’t read the Swiftboat book. I was angry about it. But Obama Nation is well researched and at the very least, raises legitimate questions. The MSN would rather vet Corsi than BO. Corsi is not running for Prez. Someone has to expose the fraud.
84 sallyneary ~~~ I think I am intelligent enough to ask to to prove to us that Corsi’s assertions are NOT true. We are commited to seeing that Obama is not elected……just like Kerry wasn’t.
#97 ladyhawkke on 08.18.08 at 2:25 pm
Charlie Rangel was denied a spot as a speaker at the Convention. Supposedly, it’s unheard of for someone of his standing, (i.e. Chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means) to be denied a spot at the convention. But then the New York delegation supported Hillary and maintained their support till the bitter end. They didn’t switch till after Hillary’s June 7 speech. So, apparently, this is another example of BO’s retribution to Hillary supporters. He can’t be happy about it and I’d say he (and others similarly situated would be ripe to thumb their noses at OB and his people and support Hillary at the convention….I think they’d be very susceptible to a little prodding.
I would also like to know if someone will be carrying my sign. I have already paid. Thanks to anyone that does that for me!

#103 BrooklynNY I think everyone should call his DC office Office: (202) 225-4365. The more the merrier. I knew he had been denied a speaking slot. Also, the woman did tell me he has always been a Hillary supporter which I knew. Bill Clinton has an office in his district in Harlem. Rangel was trying to mend the race fence after Obama accused them of being racists so, of course, they wouldn’t let him speak. I also believe Hillary may be concerned about the black vote if she becomes the nominee. The horrible things they are doing, like spray painting cars, trashing everything in sight, and he is the nominee. I can imagine what they will do if he is not.

DECONSTRUCTING BO
MountainSong et al.
(Origiinally posted 8.8.8)
BO’s street creds as an intellectual are based on the facts he graduated from Harvard Law School, magna cum laude, and was the first black President of the Harvard Law Review. But does this mean he is smart?
The Harvard Law Review is a student-run organization whose primary purpose is to publish a journal of legal scholarship. … The organization is formally independent of the Harvard Law School. Student editors make all editorial and organizational decisions and, together with a professional business staff of three, carry out day-to-day operations.
http://www.harvardlawreview.org/about.shtml
Here’s how editors are chosen for the Harvard Law Review. Fourteen editors (two from each 1L section) are selected based on a combination of their first-year grades and their competition scores. Twenty editors are selected based solely on their competition scores. The remaining editors are selected on a discretionary basis. Some of these discretionary slots may be used to implement the Review’s affirmative action policy.
http://www.harvardlawreview.org/membership.shtml
According to the NYT, here’s how BO was chosen to head the Review.
Mr. Obama was elected after a meeting of the review’s 80 editors that convened Sunday and lasted until early this morning, a participant said.
Until the 1970’s the editors were picked on the basis of grades, and the president of the Law Review was the student with the highest academic rank. Among these were Elliot L. Richardson, the former Attorney General, and Irwin Griswold, a dean of the Harvard Law School and Solicitor General under Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard M. Nixon.
That system came under attack in the 1970’s and was replaced by a program in which about half the editors are chosen for their grades and the other half are chosen by fellow students after a special writing competition. The new system, disputed when it began, was meant to help insure that minority students became editors of The Law Review.
Harvard, like a number of other top law schools, no longer ranks its law students for any purpose including a guide to recruiters.
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0CE2DC1631F935A35751C0A966958260
After being elected its President, BO never published anything in the Harvard Law Review.
http://blogs.tnr.com/tnr/blogs/the_stump/archive/2008/06/23/did-obama-write-something-for-the-harvard-law-review.aspx
Charles Hamilton Houston was the first black editor of the Harvard Law Review in 1919.
http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0800611.html
The first female editor of the Harvard Law Review was Susan Estrich, in 1977.
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0CE2DC1631F935A35751C0A966958260
As for graduating from Harvard Law School magna cum laude, this doesn’t mean BO had a high GPA. It just means that after subtracting the students who graduated summa cum laude, he graduated in the top 10% of his class. Theoretically, he could have had a C average. We don’t know; he hasn’t released his grades.
http://www.law.harvard.edu/ocs/employers/HLS_Grading_System.htm
(Please pass on this information.)
EVERYONE, I JUST POSTED A COMMENT ABOUT BO AND HARVARD, NOW AWAITING MODERATION BECAUSE, AS USUAL, I INCLUDED LINKS TO ORIGINAL SOURCES
Look for it. Read it. And pass on the information it contains (after checking it, first, through the links).
#107 ladyhawkke on 08.18.08 at 2:37 pm
Yep, you’re right. The party also gave the green light to primary challenges to John Lewis, D-GA, civil rights fighter of heroic proportions, because he refused to switch his support from Hillary to Obama. (Thankfully, JL won his primary with 68% of the vote, but not until AFTER he’d switched support). If it wasn’t for people like JL, Barack would probably still be sitting in the back of the bus…..
So, if they’ll do things to people like Rangel and Lewis, imagine what they’ll do to some little nobody congressman or delegate….It’s got to have had a chilling effect on everyone not already firmly in BO’s back pocket.

http://blog.beliefnet.com/godometer/2008/08/rick-warren-to-godometer-obama.html
—————–
OK. There you have it. Obama’s numbers falling and McCain’s are on an upswing in the religious right’s world of measuring secularism verses theocracy in a candidate.
THE POINT IS:
No matter where you look, Obama’s divinity is having trouble in the polls – God Meters included.
BBL
OK, folks; I’ve had it. Andrea Mitchell is out there mouthing what Obama’s people have been saying since Saturday night: McCain heard the questions as they were being asked to Obama at Saddleback and could therefore prepare his answers. In other words, every time Obama’s performance is less than par, it’s THE FAULT OF OTHER PEOPLE. If he can’t take responsibility for his own poor performance, how the hell can people expect him to take responsibility for the economic and national concerns of our country?
I know I’m not supposed to say this, but if Hillary does not get the nomination (and I’m still hoping), I am voting for McCain, loud and proud. And if any DNC people are lurking here, don’t tell me that my vote should be all about principles and policies — you gave up on principles long ago.
I’m voting strategically. I’m not going to pretend I like McCain (though I like him a lot better than I thought I did) or that the Republican Party will serve my interests. The Democrats are going to overwhelmingly win Congressional seats; in that case, given the way policymaking works, I can put up with a Republican President. I will do everything to keep Bozobama out of office and in a 2-party-dominant, first-past-the-post voting system, a vote for a 3rd party candidate is a waste, sad but true.
I’m focusing on Denver with all of you and wishing our PUMA representatives all the best; I’m also hoping that we have a post-Convention strategy somewhere up our sleeves….. As I’ve written many times before: aaarrrrggg.
Here is my letter to editors. I for one have problems with how Senator Obama has handed this whole thing with this book Obama Nation if this book is all lies as he claims then why not take legal action, I know if someone published all lies about me I would get a lawyer, if this book is completely made up then why wait to come after this man Jerome Corsi , Senator Obama didn’t say a word until this book hit #1 then he comes out full force stating it’s all lies. I am sorry but Senator Obama has told enough lies, has flip flopped enough that I can not take him at his word, Jerome Corsi has been on several shows and has stated he will stand behind his book and what is in it.Senator Obama just says it’s all lies and we are to believe him. Senator Obama is a unknown, unvetted person who wants to be our president , sorry but all the friends and people he does business with shows me he is a bad judge of character and I need more proof that things in the book aren’t true than just saying so.
Sincerely,

I didn’t go to Hillary’s website, I just responded to Pres. Clinton’s e-mail and told him exactly what I thought about the whole process. That will go straight to friends of hillary which, by the way, I called this morning. Jeremy is insisting Hillary does not want to be the nominee because of a lack of resources and her standing in the party; however, I told him I would fight until the end because of the corrupt DNC and that we needed a legitimate roll call. NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER GIVE IN, WE WILL TAKE IT FROM HERE HILLARY!!
JBJD Please give me the FL delegates! I got 18 from Ricki Lieberman but there are more and I intend to contact all of them. Thanks.
I too received a letter from Mr. Blackwell. I can see by reading the comments that it was a rather generic letter, but at least it was a response and… frankly, to me, somewhat more of a positive response than we have usually gotten. I am going to post my response to him. It may not be the best written letter, but it certainly came from my heart.
“Dear Mr. Blackwell:
First I would like to thank you for responding to me. It means a lot to me personally.
I have absolutely NO problem with supporting State Representative Rick
Noriega; as a matter of record I have already voted for him in the primary; and you can absolutely believe me when I say that I want to do as much as possible to see to it that Senator Cornyn is defeated. It was my hope that he was going to resign from office, quite a while back. I do not feel that Senator Cornyn has properly represented the voters of Texas for quite some time!!!
I may not be able to do much financially for Representative Noriega, but I can guarantee you that I am doing as much as I possibly can in other ways, through contacting my friends and family members and campaigning vigorously for them to get involved in his election and to also contact their friends, etc., etc. I hope to be able to contribute something to his campaign as well as I am favorably impressed with his record in the past. Frankly, I’ve been a very loyal Democrat for 40+ years and after I do my very best to research where a candidate has voted on issues that are near and dear to me, both as a democrat and a member of the Democratic party and as an American citizen, I have always tried to do whatever I could to support those candidates that I believe will best represent WE THE PEOPLE. It has not always been with money, frankly, most of the time, it’s been with phones and with contacting people and, at times, transporting people to vote. I believe in the power of people and the privilege of voting.. with all my heart.
This is why I contacted you and why I am so pleased that you responded. I believe that WE THE PEOPLE deserve and need a President who will truly represent the people… all of the people, all of the time. I truly believe after a lot of research that Senator Hillary Clinton is the person who will do that. I know that she will faithfully and with perserverance tackle the weighty issues on the table that affect every individual in the United States today. I believe that we have several very important and crucial things that are going to be a great challenge for the next President of the United States, among those are the current conflict between Georgia and Russia as well as the continuing conflict in Afganistan and Iraq. I want someone who will handle these issues correctly. I believe we can see by Senator Clinton’s immediate response on the situation between Georgia and Russia that she is the one who is on the ball. I want a President of these United States who will work hard and who has answers, not just a pretty speech!!! That is why I believe there is a clear difference between Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator Obama. She has the qualifications, she has the experience and she has the solutions!!! That is why I want the delegates and superdelegates to vote for her. I especially want the delegates whose districts voted for her to vote for her, because I believe that represents the will of the people. And, if the Democratic Party cannot stand for the will of the people.. then who will?
This is an important test to me and I believe to many of loyal democrats who are watching this process very closely. If the Democratic Party cannot show that they are still representing the will of the people in allowing the time-honored procedures to take place in an open and honest way, not as a sham, not as a symbol, but an open, honest process, then not only I, but millions of other loyal democrats will realize that this Democratic Party is no longer “our Democratic Party”.
If we have an open and honest convention, then I will be satisfied and the ideals of democracy will have been preserved.
Thank you for your time and thank you for your contributions to preserving the ideals of democracy.
Sincerely,
XXXXX

MEDIA REQUEST
Puma’s I have been contacted by a group of “KidReporters” (my child not involved) who are interviewing the Presidential Candidates. They were intending to interview McCain and Obama, but would like to add Hillary to the project.
They are working in conjuntion with a major movie studio.
Any Puma that can assist me with approaching Hillary with this request please email me a [my username] at gee male dot com. Thanks.
This bears repeating:

Go to publishaletter.com select United states hit start, and go from there. You can choose a state and a paper. Copy your letter and you can easily send it to DOZENS of papers in a matter of minutes. Thanks to scath (are you lurking still???) for providing this amazing link!!!
#112 andersen
I did not receive that message when I went to the site. Did anyone else?
PUMAs ROCK!!!!!
When I’m feeling down, I come here and read all the comments. Like the rest of Hillary supporters, I get so freaking angry, frustrated, disgusted, appalled; it makes me sick to my stomach to read conniving, racist remarks of Dean and NOBAMA, and NOW Pelosi is saying NOBAMA is a gift from God!!! Damn it! NOBAMA personifies what is EVIL about humans!
Okay! I just have to vent, I don’t watch CNN, NBC, MSNBC. I get my news in the internet.
#78, yes, I caught that too, Obama saying that the Iraq vote was his hardest decision.
The moderator should have pointed out that he wasn’t even in the Senate in 2002.
“His vote” on the Iraq war resolution is such a farce. He had no vote at that time.
He wants to take credit for being “right” without having taken the risk.
Actually, the moderator asked harder questions than Wolf Blister and the MSM will ask. Maybe We-the-People in letters to the editor need to point out that Obama wasn’t even in the Senate in 2002.
Making his lie very transparent. Or, maybe he is delusional. Maybe he thinks he was in the Senate at the time of that vote. Or most likely, he knows the media won’t call him on it.
#112 goandersen – I just went there and everything is fine, except they never post my comments lol. Still has the same one Normita left on 8/12/08

Thanks for the link to Hill. I think you are right on about the need to send her words of support right now. I have been slacking on that lately. I hope to c u all in Denver! Anyone looking for a roomate to split hotel costs? I’m going alone…..if I can work out the transportation costs.
Haven’t heard anything on this either. Wouldn’t the churches love to see this? Mo at it again
http://www.jillstanek.com/archives/2008/05/michelle_obamas.html
Love the part about understanding casting a vote takes more courage than issuing a position paper. So how many times did he take a stand and vote present????
SallyNeary -
You are right about one thing – we are a group of very smart women AND men.
I have read the posted letters to which I presume you refer and I don’t see what you consider “sleaze”.
The only sleaze apparent to me is the items referenced in the book. Are you not as interested as the rest of us in anything that exposes truth?
Most of the items in the book previously surfaced before this book was even published (many quoted from obama himself).
What in particular offends you? Just curious, because, hey, maybe I missed something.
#124 alohapuma Call Friends of Hillary at the campaign office and ask for Jeremy. (703) 469-2008, press (4). I’m sure he can get in touch with Sen. Clinton. By the way, Jeremy is the guy in her campaign that worked really hard in trying to get the supers to switch to her.
Did the prowl and wrote short and sweet commentary.
Corsi and Obama Nation Phenomenon
It’s truly amazing that this book is on the NYT best seller’s list already.
I am currently reading his book and it confirms many things I already knew about Senator Obama. While Mr. Corsi does not speak for the group called PUMA Pac I see that his facts check out. PUMA (People United Mean Action) Pac is a group that has vetted and found Senator Obama wanting and is working toward the reform of the Democratic Party.
It’s truly a shame that the Main Stream Media and the DNC did not vet this man before putting him in line to be the nominee for the President of the United States. I thank you for your consideration by reading my commentary.
Sincerely,
Ladyhawke
My point is that we don’t want the LINK removed because they figure out we are using it.
Off topic, but I just got done w/ an hour long, infuriating phone call w/ CHIP over a denial of cont’d coverage for my kids. (Raising 6 of them on a single school teacher’s salary) Because we received a performance pay bonus 8 months ago (and used it to pay off debts), they say we aren’t eligible any more for the program. Now my 6 kids will be without insurance after Sept. because covering all of them through the school dist. would be $985/month! We NEED reform. Sorry for the “drive-by venting”, but here’s one more reason why we need to fight for the only VIABLE candidate in Denver…as if we needed any more reasons!
ladyhawkke
I have been assured that your FL prowl will go out by tomorrow, and you will be provided with all of the names and addresses of your state delegated pledged to HRC.
#131 Taffy on 08.18.08 at 3:01 pm
Thanks for the great link! I particularly liked her statement:
“He understands that casting a vote on the floor of the senate takes greater courage than issuing a position paper”
HA!! If he understands that, why doesn’t he do it?!?!
#135 Doria I see your point now but, apparently, people are still posting. Maybe you need to do a big bold capital letters alert not to post those comments.
ladyhawkke…don’t know how to get in touch with you but DO know how to get the name of EVERY delegate from every state. Passed the link info to Trish so I know she has it too! Also has lots of other interesting links contained within at the bottom!
I have read the controversial book, The Obama Nation, and must conclude that, even though some dates appear to be off, the most important and relevant information in the book is correct and verifiable.
When one insists on cherry picking the lesser of issues in an attempt to take away from the greater issues, it tends to force my focus toward the greater, more important issues. That’s the nature of the beast. Why the Obama camp is not aware of this is beyond me.
The most sensible way Senator Obama and his “crew” could firmly put this controversy to rest would be to produce evidence discrediting the verified, damaging facts. However, since these facts appear in not one, but two of the best selling books on his political career, I am left to assume that task is one that is unlikely to occur.
Senator Obama would have me believe that he is for “hope” and “change”; that he is a “different kind of politician”. However, his past political actions beg to differ. His documented, verifiable votes (or lack thereof) speak volumes as to what kind of politician he is.
His latest gaffe, stating that his example of reaching across party lines to was support and work on a bill with Senator McCain only to withdraw his support because of pressure from his party, is not only laughable but one that makes me shake my head in disbelief. Does he truly think voters are going to take him at face value and not research what he says?
This brings me to another point.
For over a year, Senator Obama has been peeing down my back while telling me it is raining. I resent the fact that he thinks I am either gullible or incapable of researching whom I want to lead my country; that he thinks he can speak words that will make me “feel a tingle up my leg” and win my vote. I assure you, “we the people” are much more educated and involved than he cares to admit.
#137 jbjd Thanks. I just e-mailed MarylandPuma with a copy of the letter I have been sending to the 18 supers from Florida that Ricki Lieberman gave me. Ricki says not only to write them but to call them and thank them for their time in reading the letters, blah, blah. She thinks we need to make a connection with them and let them know we are there to cover them. Also, she gives you 18 so you can continue to contact “your personal supers.” I don’t know if you are sending a letter or not but I have one I can use and if you want to see it, get it from marylandpuma.
Congressman John Lewis
Yes, but, did you hear JMc during the Saddleback Town Hall? Asked if he could only have 3 advisers when he’s President, and why, he said Congressman John Lewis, because he’s been a great public servant for 30 years; he was at Pettis Bridge and had his head bashed in; and he loves America and has an optimistic view about her future!

1) *Lack of resources (Blame the DNC & MSM)
2) *Standing in the party (Blame Obama and the DNC)
It is hard to even fathom what it takes for Hillary to face her party “colleagues”. It is so hard to understand how cold-blooded these “leaders” are and what links they will go to defeat someone who did play by the rules and tried to be inclusive of ALL VOTERS in every state!
MURPHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“For over a year, Senator Obama has been peeing down my back while telling me it is raining.”
That was funny
This is downright scary, PUMAs:
The Obama Machine is now restricting access to public records, that could serve to answer some of the issues raised in Jerome Corsi’s book (should someone be so inclined):
“The extent to which Obama and his allies will go to cover up his radical associations is amazing. Not only would the release of these records probably show Obama to be a radical on education reform but also reveal a conflict of interest between the Challenge board and Ayers’ programs that were funded by it.
Was Obama a puppet on the terrorist’s string, dispensing money to whomever Ayers directed? Inquiring minds want to know. Unfortunately, given that the records are private, it is probable that only historians studying Obama long after he is dead will be able to tell us the real story of those years.”
(from: http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/08/obamaayers_records_blocked_at.html)
sorry, Hello ALL PUMA’s!
#146
#149
Yeah, it has a humorous ring to it but, the fact of the matter is, it’s true!
I’m so tired of his camp and the DNC thinking I’m an idiot; that if they lead, I will follow.
If he DOES win, can you imagine what the White House will be like? All those BOTs running around, “teaching the world to sing” while the real issues are being “talked about”, or “thought about”.
Prowl done, however, I am concerned about my name and address being anywhere in this State .
The out of state papers don’t concern me, but the Local one does.
Back to work for a while. Dumb job!
#145 jbjd on 08.18.08 at 3:19 pm
Re: John Lewis.
Yes, I heard that and I loved that JMc did that.
JMc addressed JL with the respect, admiration and recognition JL has so heroically earned, whereas the DNC treated JL to derision, contempt, humilation and dishonor – as just another disposable tool in the corrupt Obama Machine toolbox.
Also, did you hear JMc’s speech to the NAACP sometime ago? It brought tears to my eyes. (It’s posted on the JM website under “Speeches” – I don’t think there’s a video link but wish there was…..I would love to see it again).

IMPORTANT ALERT
Last night on the PUMA No We Wont Radio show — Heidi called in and two of the delegates were on. We’ve only got a week left until the convention and I got the impression that it’s very important that we address the prowl from the email that Will Bower sent out.
Why is this important? Because Heidi informs us that the man to contact (given in Will’s email) is the head of the affairs for the convention and the man responsible to ensure that this nomination is fair. You can bet your A$$ that BO is planning to cheat through voting fraud at the convention.
We need to be writing to Phil and asking the following:
— To ensure measures are taken to oversea the roll call and nomination process is valid.
— To have neutral parties involved to oversee the process similar to the way we have a monitoring process in place when establishing a democratic voting process in other countries such as Iraq
– And any other information you can think of to make your point respectfully and to convey the urgency of this matter.

Bad news, my dear Floridian PUMAs. The list posted of states with pledged delegate laws mistakenly included FL. After searching for hours to find this law – some states include these provisions in statutes, others in rules, still others in session laws, etc. – I called the FL S of S, Division of Elections, and was lucky enough to get hold of an elections attorney. FL IS NOT A PLEDGED DELEGATE STATE. I am so sorry.
Write letters of support to your state delegates pledged to HRC; you are not included in the prowl for pledged delegates in pledged states.

Believe me we get it, and certainly wasn’t laughing at the overall message of your post.

TOPIC: Bill Clinton mssg / hillaryclinton.com
hi everyone,
just bopping in on my lunch break, here’s the text of an email just came in.
I think this is another “read-between-the-lines” type of email. BTW, really liked his heading:
“You don’t want to miss this.”
BBLtonite.
~~~
Dear wonderful PUMA (my wording, ha! ha!)
I have played so many roles at so many Democratic National Conventions. I’ve been there as a campaign worker, a governor, a keynote speaker, a nominee, a president, and a former president.
But no convention is quite like your first. There is nothing like seeing for the first time so many people in one place working toward one common purpose: electing the next Democratic president.
It’s an inspiration, and you don’t want to miss it if you have a chance. So I hope you’ll take Hillary up on her offer and contribute by midnight tonight for a chance to attend the Denver convention in person. You’ll get to see Hillary speak on Tuesday, and Barack Obama — the next president of the United States — on Thursday.
And I hear Hillary and you will have a chat — I’ll make sure to stop by.
Enter before midnight tonight for a chance to see me, Hillary, and Barack Obama at the convention in Denver next week!
Join Hillary in Denver. Contribute today.
I know you’ve always been there for Hillary, and she needs you now as she works to pay the small vendors who helped us during the campaign. Hillary’s not going to stop fighting for the issues we all care so much about, and she’s going to need you all the way.
And if you contribute before the midnight deadline, you might have the chance to join Hillary and me in Denver next week for a truly exciting and historic convention. You’re going to get to see an amazing display of Democratic unity in person — you don’t want to miss it.
#172 pa dem that is exactly what I was just thinking we have always done things like this in the past before.
MURPHY and Maryland PUMA
I will be addressing the email from Will but it seems to me that many are not aware of the urgency of this matter and how it needs the attention of ALL PUMA’s STAT. We need to do everything possible to get the mechanisms in place to guarantee a fair and VALID nomination process. Am I wrong to be concerned about the urgency of Will’s email? Please advise.

“I actually thought it was going to be the prowl today, since importance was stressed on radio.”
~~~~~~~
I did too… and with one week left… we need to get moving on this prowl so that if we can put a fire under this Phil guy to ensure a third party monitoring system gets in place in time for the convention. I really got the sense from Heidi that she can’t make this happen without our help. I didn’t hear Murphy on last night’s radio show so I wondered if maybe she doesn’t know about this information yet — either way — the coalition needs our help on this.
I posted above #168 the points that I remember Heidi mentioning were important to include in our letters
Now we are attacking fellow PUMAs who criticize Corsi. Has he achieved sainthood?
“I think I am intelligent enough to ask to to prove to us that Corsi’s assertions are NOT true. ”
I will leave aside the inherent problem of proving the negative.
This is how Kerry lost. The Republicans smeared him. Corsi swiftboated him. He was asked to prove that in fact he had earned his medals. Jesus H., are we now operating like the Republicans? I thought we opposed Obama because of his and the DNC’s tactics.
MsBinMD, the sleaze I refer to is the book by Corsi. I don’t like Obama either, but I am not going to start praising anyone just because he also dislikes Obama. Lots of very rotten people dislike Obama! This doesn’t make them good or trustworthy. As you give your money to this man, does it cross your mind that he trashed Kerry and gave us Bush? The audience for this kind of book should be limited to the sort of people who think the Clintons killed Vince Foster. We are better than this!

PUMA prowls work!
I ran into one of the Hillary delegates to Denver from my county last night. He said he had been getting hundreds of emails every day, and that he had signed the petition to put Hillary name in nomination! He said, “It’s the right thing to do. Hillary deserves it, and I owe it to the everyone who voted for me as a National Delegate.” I usually just lurk, but I thought you would like to hear about this.

PLEASE HELP
Everyone read my post at #168 and address the request from Will’s email. Go to Heidi’s site for more information. Murphy posted a link to the site at the top of this blog page. Heidi needs all of our help on this. I got the impression it was extremely IMPORTANT. Crucial to getting HRC nominated
There are reports that BO is already asking delegates to write down on a piece of paper who they are voting for and he assures them the information will be entered into a counting machine. WE CAN’T TRUST HIM — HE CHEATS. We need to get neutral third party participants that have no biases involved in monitoring the nominating process to ensure it is FAIR and VALID. Just as we would in other countries when monitoring their voting process.
MsBinMD – I also got an e-mail that I was reluctant to open from Tom Blackwell. Still not sure what it’s about or if it’s ok to open. Very rushed today and only skimming the posts. If it is ok and should be opened cause it contains important info, please post with an easy to find heading if you or anyone else doesn’t mind.

LETTER TO PHIL MC NAMARA
E-mailed it this morning, thanks to SunnyPA’s post.
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – – - – -
Dear Mr. McNamara:
I am writing to you as a lifelong Democrat. I have read in the press that Senator Clinton’s name will be placed in nomination at the Democratic National Convention but that she will likely release her pledged delegates prior to the first roll call vote. It is also my understanding that Senator Obama’s campaign has been contacting pledged delegates and that in addition, some states have been discouraging pledged delegates from signing the petition to place Senator Clinton’s name in nomination. All of this comes on the heels of other less-than-democratic maneuvering within the Democratic Party this year that I have found profoundly concerning.
I am one of 18 million voters who cast their vote for Senator Clinton during this historic primary. I cast my vote knowing it would be represented on the convention floor by a delegate assigned to support Senator Clinton in my state. If Senator Clinton’s name is placed in nomination but there is not a fair and honest roll call vote, having her name placed in nomination is meaningless and it renders my voice along with all of those who voted for her, mute, and calls into question the entire meaning of having a vote in the first place.
I urge you to do everything in your power to ensure their is a honest and fair roll call and the delegates pledged to Senator Clinton are able to cast their votes accordingly, without undo pressure or influence. This is the very least I would expect in a democracy and it is regrettable that I feel I must advocate for my voice to be heard at all. However, this year, it seems this it what it has come down to.
Not only should my vote be reflected accordingly, but it would be a travesty if the candidate who garnered the most primary votes in history, the first female candidate to accomplish such an achievement, the candidate who by many measures won the popular vote and the only candidate in my opinion worthy of the job of President of the United States were not to have these milestones recorded accurately.
Thank you very much.

texas tigress – thanks.
i’m flying today. got waaaaaaaay too much going on —-
My own feeling is that the convention is already rigged, and any roll call vote will be rigged.
But PUMAs in Denver will serve another purpose, even if they can’t change the boneheaded minds of the DNC. Fox at least will pick up on the protests because they show an un-unified Democratic Party which helps McCain.
Do not be discouraged by the MSM trying to deminish our numbers or relevance. If we weren’t numerous enough to throw the election to McCain, or relevant enough to throw the election to McCain, they wouldn’t even mention us.
Obama’s poll numbers show a marginal win AT BEST. One state can swing the election as it now stands.
McCain did well in the recent interview/debate (not sure what to call it) and he will do well in the debates and town hall meetings. He has a sense of humor which will serve him well. And I like his war stories. Whole generations have never heard stories like this, and it will remind voters that one candidate is a true patriot, while the other is a big zero.
If not Hillary, the on to plan B, which is McCain.
The Obamabots and MSM DON’T BELIEVE US. It is annoying as hell, but they THINK we will come around to The Precious One. The more of us change party registration, donate to McCain, make noise on McCain’s behalf, the more scared Dean and the DNC get. The MSM will just follow whatever is trendy at the time.
When media coverage on Obama goes sour, and it will, expect a bandwagon effect.
We can be the beginning of the rejection of Obama. The MSM and regular Joe Americans are about two months behind us in really looking at Obama.
MountainSong, his voice grates on me too. One of many traits that will lead to his rejection by the voters.
If it is no longer about electing Hillary, then it is about defeating Obama. Let’s roll.
ok need to do my prowl! bbl~
When BO says about abortions “it is above my pay grade” does that mean he is not educated and smart enough to answer questions?
SallyNeary I understand your resentment toward Corsi. But, it’s precisely because so little is known about BO and the MSN has neglected to vet him that this book has become popular…it fills the vacuum. But I have read the book. It is not a maniacal screed. The narrative is well-documented. BO is not presented as the antichrist. Corsi accepts he is Christian. The tone is far from hateful or disdainful. The inner workings of the Chicago machine, the disturbing involvement of BO in the Kenyan elections, and a fuller exploration of his radical associations is something Americans need to hear.
my 2c fwiw is that I think PUMA PAC is losing its way.
Defending Corsi’s book shouldn’t be a priority imo
ensuring a fair and democratic convention and convincing Superdelegates should be.
At least McCain wasn’t worried about his ‘pay grade’ when he stated his opinion. Apparently Obama believes life begins after college.

Check it out PUMAS–we’re making ‘em sweat!
Check out this post on NoQuarter (re: a pro-BO site, MyDD). Get out the popcorn!!
This from MYDD:
If true, that’s terrible news for us, because it suggests that even if we can massively outspend McCain, we’re still falling behind.
For all the money spent in July, there is no evidence that it had much benefit for Obama.
There’s not much reason to suppose that Obama will end up with a gigantic $$ advantage – maybe 10 or 20 million, give or take a few million.
So, if the extra millions aren’t keeping Obama in the lead, I wonder how the hell are we going to rebuild the lead?
I want some good news. Can anybody cheer me up?
What the heck is going to turn the situation around?
The DNC Convention? Ohmygosh – it looks like an exercise in futility, with all kinds of mind games being played by the PUMAs.
I don’t see the convention helping us much at all.
The VP? Who the heck is going to give Obama a boost? To me, it looks like Hillary is the only one who can get him out of the jam that she created, but he ain’t gonna pick Hillary, so the PUMAs are going to wreak their revenge.
This is not looking good. The way things are going, I would not be surprised to see McCain win the election by an electoral landslide.
I’m sure Obama and his family needed a vacation, but it was during his vacation that the poll numbers really started to tank.

Cavuto can barely hold himself back from bursting out laughing at comments from Democratic Party strategist Tanya Acker defending Obama. He can barely keep a straight face.

It was OK to open. Just floored me because it was to an email address I don’t use here.
Lots of posts referencing.
My letter I sent as instructed today by my favorite Cats:
I think it is wonderful that Jerome Corsi wrote this book and that this information is finally being bought out into the forefront so that the American people can decide for themselves who this Obama guy really is.
As a member of Puma Pac, I began to get concerned around the time that the information about Rev. Wright came out and then proceeded to get more worried as we started to delve deeper only to find an ever growing more negatives about him. I really became concerned when I found this information was being suppressed by the news media and very few people like Shawn Hannity of Fox news were even brave enough to breach this subject.
Even though we have real uncertainties about Obama the Democratic Party seems to quell all of these concerns with a blanketed pre- scripted answer that we are either racist or Republicans, when nothing could be further from the truth.
This concern is burgeoning and expanding throughout the whole United States of America, and if we do not bring Hillary back now, we as Democrats will surely lose the White House come November.
Thank- you

UPDATED LETTER TO PHIL MC NAMARA FOR ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO CONTACT HIM
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –
Dear Mr. McNamara:
I am writing to you as a lifelong Democrat. I have read in the press that Senator Clinton’s name will be placed in nomination at the Democratic National Convention but that she will likely release her pledged delegates prior to the first roll call vote. It is also my understanding that Senator Obama’s campaign has been contacting pledged delegates and that in addition, some states have been discouraging pledged delegates from signing the petition to place Senator Clinton’s name in nomination. All of this comes on the heels of other less-than-democratic maneuvering within the Democratic Party this year that I have found profoundly concerning.
I am one of 18 million voters who cast their vote for Senator Clinton during this historic primary. I cast my vote knowing it would be represented on the convention floor by a delegate assigned to support Senator Clinton in my state. If Senator Clinton’s name is placed in nomination but there is not a fair and honest roll call vote, having her name placed in nomination is meaningless and it renders my voice along with all of those who voted for her, mute, and calls into question the entire meaning of having a vote in the first place.
I urge you to do everything in your power to ensure there is a honest and fair roll call and the delegates pledged to Senator Clinton are able to cast their votes accordingly, without undo pressure or influence. This is the very least I would expect in a democracy and it is regrettable that I feel I must advocate for my voice to be heard at all. However, this year, it seems this it what it has come down to. I am placing my trust in you to involve neutral parties who can monitor and oversea the voting process to ensure it is accurate and fair. It saddens me to have to write this letter and consider such things. Unfortunately, this year, the Democratic Party has broken my trust and I, for one, must remain ever vigilant that democracy is heard and that my vote is counted.
Finally, not only should my vote be reflected accordingly, but it would be a travesty if the candidate who garnered the most primary votes in history, the first female candidate to accomplish such an achievement, the candidate who by many measures won the popular vote and the only candidate in my opinion worthy of the job of President of the United States were not to have these milestones recorded accurately.
Thank you very much. I am counting on you to uphold those democratic processes that make our country so great and which provide me with the assurance that one person, one vote retains meaning.
caracal carrie – thank you!

The mudslinging is going to begin anyway. Yes, some information on Obama may not be factual, but some likely is. It would really help if he wasn’t hiding even basic documents like his birth certificate. Why is he hiding so much if there is nothing to hide?
Yes, the swiftboaters gave us Bush. But McCain is a far better man than Bush. And a far better Presidential candidate than anyone except Hillary.
Wish the Republicans had run McCain in 2000, and we could have skipped Bush altogether. But. This is where we are now.
Obama must lose. And I don’t care whether truth or untruth kills his campaign. Whatever works (and one never knows what is going to work, as in, getting the media to jabber about it 24/7). I just want him to lose.
Murphy and riverdaughter have such a gift for words.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… these two women are far more worthy of leadership than what I perceived in Hillary Clinton at one time. Due to her lack of principles Ms. Clinton has been a terrible let down to me while Murphy and riverdaughter continue to inspire. It’s not about party to them, it’s about country.
I stand in awe of these two incredible Pumas who know the meaning of democracy in America the beautiful better than ANY Democrat today. That includes a former heroin of mine, the (still) honorable Ms. Hillary Clinton. And, of course, that sickening embarrassment to our country and of youthful incompetence, Barrack Obama. Got to add Ted Kennedy to the mix too. Not a single DNC leader knows what the hell they are doing to America. All I know is that it’s bad.
I’m quite confident that with intellegent people like Murphy and riverdaughter and their followers on the march for true democracy the Democratic party will change for the better.
Please, have no response to my post. It simply feels good to watch great leadership in action and to promulgate my feelings to other pumas. This is a marvelous movement.

***ALERT***
DEAR FELLOW PUMAS
TOM BLACKWELL is suggesting that we should be lemmings and do whatever HILLARY tells us. However, I have and Independent mind and will do whatever I feel is best for this country! No offense Tom, but I like to think for myself. Thanks for supporting HILLARY. I look forward to seeing you vote for her.
Then Tom politely asks for some money to help elect another democrat. I strongly urge that you send him a response. We should tell him and all the other delegates and super delegates that we will wait until the convention to see what happens with their votes. It will be a major factor in our decision to provide our support or opposition to democrats up for election. Delegates and Superdelegates that sell us down the river, aren’t “ENTITLED” to our votes and generous support. In Denver they will have an opportunity to EARN OUR SUPPORT.
LEVERAGE IS A POWERFUL THING, We will have a DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS and that won’t change even if we elect Republicans. Democrats will be the majority, but just not in the proportion of “ABSOLUTE RULE” like Nancy Pelosi desperately wants. Do we really want to give “ABSOLUTE POWER” to a corrupt party that needs reform. They don’t deserve our “BLIND TRUST”. Isn’t it difficult to trust them?
Imagine the power and ruin that Nancy Pelosi, Donna Brazille, and Dean could invoke on ALL AMERICANS and on ALL OF US? I believe we have taken enough abuse from this party that has shown us NO LOYALTY!
OUR VOTES ARE POWERFUL, Don’t give them away when it isn’t necessary. IN THE GOOD OLE DAYS WHEN NEITHER PARTY HAD TOO MUCH POWER, PEOPLE WORKED ACROSS THE AISLES AND GOT THINGS DONE.
Remember, “ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS”. Imagine Senator Obama with TOTAL GOVERNMENT CONTROL….SCAREY. Do we dare risk that?
Again, i say, show me some loyalty, prove to me at the convention that you support the will of the people and Hillary Clinton for president!
IN MY OPINION:
IF DELEGATES KNOW THAT THEIR ACTIONS WILL COST THEM VOTER SUPPORT IN THEIR STATES, I’M SURE THEY WON’T BE WILLING TO RISK JOB SECURITY FOR THE MONEY THAT OBAMA OR PELOSI AND OTHERS HAVE THROW AT THEM. MONEY WON’T MATTER IF THEY CAN’T GET RE-ELECTED WITH IT AND DEMOCRATS ARE WILLING TO OPPOSE THEM. IF WE DON’T SUPPORT THEIR RE-ELECTIONS, THEY’RE HISTORY. IF WE WORK TOGETHER TO OPPOSE THEIR RE-ELECTIONS, OUR VOICES WILL BE HEARD.
WE HAVE THE POWER!!!
DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST on FOX is likening the anger from HRC supporters to the fact that, she “lost,” to her feelings of loss when Katherine McPhee lost “American Idol”; or the Patriots lost the Super Bowl…
She opined that she believes HRC is not nearly as upset at her own loss as are her supporters…
Hasn’t a clue.
FYI
Since we’re all multi-tasking and working fast and hard, be aware that when Murphy posted the link to lobby delegates at the top of the thread, that they only have a data base for Super Delegates, NOT pledged delegates that I am aware of. Pledged and Supers have different roles and parameters that guide them so be careful of what you’re saying to who and how you try to contact them. It’s crunch time and easy to get into a frenzy and get confused, at least in speaking for myself.
Oh Liz on fox what a mouth you have suprised were still mad get off it she just doen’t understand why we are upset . We should just get over it.
Neil Cavuto on fox tv whining that Pumas are bothering him and saying the DNC cheated because Hillary ‘lost’. He has a women named Liz on saying that we are disappointed, hurt and grieving. She continues to spout all the talking points. Jerks. Neil says he will see her at the convention. Fox seems to be working with BO supporters. Is it because they don’t want to run against Hillary?
Few days left. What can we do with the little time we have remaining? How can we best make use of these precious days, hours?
Sally Neary
I saw your earlier post asking why a bunch of women would support Corsi’s book. For your information, Pumas membership is 40% male. Other coalition members also have a high rate of male members and we all are all races, nationalities, age levels and income levels. Please state information that you have researched and know the facts on.
Additionally, WE, PUMAS and coalition groups have spent hours/days/weeks researching and studying Obama’s history, background, positions, political style etc. and we know that much of Corsi’s information is valid and accurate. Just because the MSM, DNC and Obama has chosen to try and hide his past, the reality is that their lies are leaking and karma is coming back to bite ‘em in the….. We are not idiots, uneducated or stupis.WE do our homework and know a helluva lot more than almost every Obama supporter.
So please support Hillary as passionately as we do and welcome to PUMAS, but please treat all of us with respect, both women and men.
Thank you and Welcome!
Here’s Will’s letter-for those that didn’t get it.
PUMAs!
Yes, we’ve been told that Hillary’s name will be placed into nomination…
…but now we need to help make sure that that actually happens… and that it MATTERS !!
First, we need to let Hillary know (in a heartfelt and respectful manner) that we want her to retain her delegates… and that we do *not* want her to discourage them from voting for her!:
http://www.hillpac.com/action/issues/?sc=2498&utm_source=2498&utm_medium=e
Next, we need to contact Phil McNamara (Director of Party Affairs and Delegate Selection) and (respectfully but firmly) “ask” that the delegate voting process be a *fair* and *legitimate* one!:

Finally, for more information on these matters, please read Heidi Li Feldman’s latest articles at:

Hillary Clinton’s rich friend Lady de Rothschild ambushes Barack Obama
Diehard Hillary fans plan to protest at the party’s crowning of Obama – and may even vote for John McCain
227 Middle age female
My husband was in the military and often used that term. Whenever he said something to the effect that this was above his pay grade… it generally meant that it was a “responsibility” not to be expected of his level in the chain of command. So in BO’s case… how lame is that answer? If POTUS is the highest position to hold in the chain of command… there really shouldn’t be any question posed of him that is above his pay grade… unless he’s referring to his chain of command as a Senator. Even still… Senators have to make decisions on abortion issues. Still a lame answer in my book and immediately stuck out like a sore thumb when he said it.

I think he’s just exposing them. He’s giving the Democratic strategists enough rope to hang themselves with (and reveal their flawed game plan/how desperately and terrified they are Obama will lose if there’s a legitmate vote at the Convention).
Hillary supporters will cause the democrats to lose well at least they have something right finally. Hillary isn’t as mad as us so they say. Good I don’t mind them blaming me at all as long as the BO loses in NOV

I agree with you that our prowls should be kept private from prying eyes, but we’ve always been encouraged by Murphy and Maryland to share our work with other pumas. You should email Murphy or Mamapuma with your concerns and let them decide what we should and should not post here.
The prowl is in YOUR email dated 8/18, you know what to do.
OK. Going to answer my own question:
Triaging, as they do in medicine:
I say, forget the media right now. The central issue pertains to the DNC officials, delegates (pledged and supers) as I see it. Let all the rest go. It’s distraction.
My 2 cents.
To the NY Puma who re-posted Will’s letter. Thanks. I think it should continue to get reposted throughout the day and/or Murphy or Maryland can turn it into a full fledged prowl. If reposting it, maybe use bold. Meanwhile, we don’t need to wait for Murphy or Maryland to tell us what to do. We’re adults who can take action on our own. All I would think would be different is that if the action isn’t one that’s been drafted by Murphy, that we don’t sign it as a PUMApac action. Otherwise, I say let’s keep going!!!

Obama Campaign Accepts Funds from Pro-LTTE Donors ?
2008-08-18 02:39:33
A WELL- KNOWN LTTE operative whose funds were returned by an embarrassed Clinton campaign earlier this year has turned around and made a donation to the campaign of Democratic presidential hopeful Senator Barack Obama. This time, the money has not been rejected and there’s another pro-LTT E group out there raising more..
Do you really think “adverse” letters were really emailed? Or filtered?
Regardless, mine started out with:
Subject: Dr. Corsi’s Book – Please Investigate & Report–Fact v Fiction
Dear Editor:
Per a request by The Democratic Party, I am supposed to be writing to you to ask you to “debunk this kind of garbage from extremists like Jerome Corsi”. However, I believe we have endured a primary season riddled with biased reporting rather than real journalism, so I cannot ask you to do this. Therefore, I would like to ask that you investigate, find the truth and report the truth—not a Party’s or candidate’s spin of the truth.
…
Probably not a good start for getting it emailed out….
Sorry, I wish I would have noted myself as “A PUMA Democrat”….
My grandma used to say you gotta fight fire with fire. Even if the book was all lies (which it isn’t) I would use it anyway if it would keep Obama from being elected. We are fighting dirty politics here people, and sometimes you gotta get your hands dirty to clean up the mud.
Anyone ever watch FAMILY FEUD – where the contestants have to come up with the top answers – and whenever someone gives a stupid one everyone says GOOD ANSWER – GOOD ANSWER – reminds me of Gollum in his debates and comes up with a stupid answer and the media says GOOD ANSWER – GOOD ANSWER – Give me a break.
“fight fire with fire” it is.
A good old expression that applies so well to the present.

In your comments box:
1) Hold the Shift key down and press the comma , key down at the same time – which is the < key when the shift key is pressed at the same time.
You should see that you have typed the left carat key – looks like this: <
2) Right after the < key type in a small b – should now look like this: <b (This means begin bold text)
3) Hold the Shift key down and type the period . key – which is the > key when the shift key is pressed at the same time. You should see that you have typed the left carat key – should now look like this: but with no spaces inbetween characters
4) Type you message you want in bold
5) Then end the bold text with the following characters – which is almost identical to how you started the bolding except for the backslash before the “b” (/b)which mean end bold.
Will look like this
So: now the text I want to be bold, then to end bold text and go back to unbold text.
But with no spaces in between each character (I had to put spaces or it would make my message to you bold in stead of just an example)
She also said to turn the other cheek, but that one never seems to work out well for me. LOL

Obama’s War on Women
Meanwhile, the most astonishing sentence in the op-ed is this one: “His plan would not raise any taxes on couples making less than $250,000 a year, nor on any single person with income under $200,000.” It amounts to a declaration of war on two-income families, a marriage penalty of punitive proportions. If those two single persons with income just under $200,000 get married, Mr. Obama is going to hammer them with a huge tax increase. If the second earner, who in many cases is the woman, is going to have to give 54% of what she earns to the government, she might as well stay home with the children. Mr. Obama may be able to get away with symbolic slights to women, such as not picking Senator Clinton as vice president. But punishing them with confiscatory taxes for participating in the workforce at a high income level moves the slight into the realm of substance.

#263 BigCatLover
I’m not taking it that way….I think he’s bringing up the points he’s hearing from PUMAs (and others probably)about the cheating in the DNC, using a non-threatening-to-Obama-loving Dem Party strategists approach. I’d say it loosens them up and makes them more likely to relax and spill the beans exposing their desperation and their manipulative, deceitful game plan.
I don’t doubt Republicans would love Obama over Clinton as the nominee….But if that happens it’s the DNC’s fault. He’s helping us (not hurting us) by telling them (Democratic strategists) how much we’re “bothering” him.
I think he’s after a good story and exposing the sordid behind-the-scenes deals going on in the DNC, more than in influencing the outcome of the election, even if he has a personal preference in the outcome.

Bad news, my dear Michigan PUMAs. The list posted of states with pledged delegate laws mistakenly included MI. After searching for hours to find this law – some states include these provisions in statutes, others in rules, still others in session laws, etc. – I called the MI S of S, Division of Elections, and after holding for 10 minues was finally transferred to an election specialist. MI IS NOT A PLEDGED DELEGATE STATE. I am so sorry.

The answer might be FLOYD BROWN, Republican Strategist. He belongs to a PAC that endorsed Senator McCain. He has started doing some ads about all the hard questions and Obama’s lies, i.e. him (stating he has never been a muslim (not true), his Kansas background and religious beliefs (his mom was either an atheist or agnostic–can’t remember what he said which one) and more. He is based out of Seattle and has money to place these ads!! I think he could be very significant for us. He is the one that they say caused Dukakis to lose his run for Presidency.
I REALLY like what I heard from him. He said MSM has been remiss in asking the hard questions on Obama and he is going to ask them! YEAH!!

Did you all get this email? If so moderator you can remove. I just recieved it from Tom Blackwell. I am at work and do not have time to read all the posts:
My fellow members of the Texas Delegation to the 2008 Democratic
National Convention have received a number of messages from people who
have signed up with the PUMA organization. We understand PUMA PAC is
registered as a 527 Organization with the IRS. It has a web page at
http://www.pumapac.org, and is also described here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_United_Means_Action
We have been asked to continue our support for Senator Clinton.
I met with Senator Clinton months before the campaign started, and told
her that when it was her turn to run for President that I wanted to do
the same things for her that I did for the Gore and Kerry campaigns.
Since then she has not disappointed us, and has offered policy
initiatives so many Americans are hungry to see. I think Senator
Clinton could not only be our President, but a beloved President. It’s
something the country has not had in a very long time. I’ve carried out
my part of the bargain, and will continue to do so.
We have been asked to “treat her historic address to the Convention on
August 26th with the full honor and respect it deserves.” I agree to do
that. I look forward to the address and know that fellow Clinton
supporters with me at the convention and at home will listen carefully,
and will do the things she says. At the same time I want to know that
everyone who signed up with PUMA will listen to her message, and do the
same.
As I write this the nomination proceedings are not legally concluded for
the offices of President and Vice President. Nominations for other
important offices, including those in the United States Senate, have
been decided.
We are impressed with the time and attention and care for Texas that has
been demonstrated by those involved with the PUMA organization from
other states. We have heard from a number of people we have never met
before.
Our nominee for the United States Senate is State Representative Rick
Noriega. He has received our nomination, and that matter is settled. I
want to direct those who care about Texas to become involved with his
campaign, and donate to his campaign. He has a web page here:
http://www.ricknoriega.com
Noriega’s opponent, Republican Senator John Cornyn, has been campaigning
for re-election along with his principal supporter Dr. Wendy Gramm. She
is a former member of the corporate board of ENRON. John McCain has
appeared on the same stage with them in their campaign. McCain, Cornyn
and Gramm bring a vision for America that is the same kind of vision
offered by ENRON. Those kind of policies have caused residential
electric rates in Texas to increase to 2 and 3 times the amounts paid a
few miles North of us in Oklahoma. This is even though the people of
Oklahoma are complaining about high electric rates, and there is no
question that electric utilities are making money there. Political
insiders with this kind of vision have other plans in the works to
double residential water bills.
Cornyn and McCain are about redistributing wealth from the mainstream
economy, to people who act like they are on the board of ENRON.
Noriega is a Harvard graduate who went on to Army service in
Afghanistan. A recent poll shows him running just 2 points behind John
Cornyn. Now it’s up to us to give Rick Noriega’s campaign the resources
he’ll need to reach every voter in the 254 counties of Texas.
Clicking here and making a contribution will impress those of us who
have spent many hours working for Senator Clinton in Texas, including
those who will be voting on the nomination of the next President and
Vice President of the United States:

Do you have a more direct way to reach Hillary by email or fax for a private prowl plea to her?
#284 diva2 ,
Thank you for the compliment. Another generous puma is sending me a copy. Sorry about my bad jokes today but I am tired and in a lot of pain with my back. I did something (don’t know what) and have been suffering for 5 days now. Don’t have insurance so Doctor visits are not an option. Hubby bought me some wine today so hopefully I won’t be feeling the pain tonight LOL. I mailed 117 letters to super delegates snail mail this morning besides doing prowls so now I am just kicking back a little when I should be working.
#285 halligan on 08.18.08 at 4:48 pm
Thanks so much for getting back to me. I found the links by googling it quite a while ago. I posted to you to say I’d found them and to disregard my request.
I figured you’d probably signed off so I went ahead and found them for myself. Thanks so much nonetheless for posting the article!
#291 BillieJo… Did someone here say earlier that they had talked to “Jeremy” and he said ‘Hillary did not want to be nominated due to lack of resources and her standing in the party’?
#276 PA Dem
There is no fair tax or any fair application of it. Since the Reagan Years and all the deductions were taken away from the middle class, we’ve just continued to pay for the government machine. I don’t mind taxes if they’d go to road, bridges, public service (police, fire, sewer, water, etc), but there is so much pork in the barrel that just doesn’t make sense when people, cities and towns are struggling just to keep their heads above water, literally.
#290 wontbackdown,
LOL That’s me. I have a few alias names that I use on other sites to make it harder for the Obamabots to track me down.
Well, I got my email once again from Hillary wanting a contribution to have the chance to be with her at the convention to hear her speech and watch Obama’s acceptance speech. Here is my reply:
Dear Hillallry,
I would love to help contribute to this cause, my only hesitation is that YOU will not be the candidate making the acceptance speech. I have supported you and your husband for as long as I can remember. When you decided to run for the nomination,I decided to get actively involved in the process for the first time in my voting years. I worked at your headquarters here in Toledo, Ohio and was so proud to tell all my family and friends how fun and excited it was to be a part of making history. I went to see Bill when he came to Toledo and shouted HILL A RY! HILL A RY! until I had no voice left. I held my friend’s five year old little girl and told her that one day she too can run to be President. She held your sign up high and shouted….HILL A Ry along with me, her Mother and her ninety year old grandmother. I was so filled with joy that day it was beyond words to describe.
I never in my wildest dream had expected the DNC to break rules, mistreat you and not come to your defense when Obama and his campaign began their oh but not so subtle attacks on you and Bill. You assured your supporters, as you put it, “I am in it to win it.” You said, “We are taking this all the way to Denver.” On the day you suspended your campaign I sat and watched with tears in my eyes. I thought, how can this be happening. I know you are the best qualified candidate to be the next President of the United States.
When you asked your supporters to get behind Barrack Obama I could barely believe I was hearing those words coming from you. As you campaigned you were precise and direct in conveying to your supporters and all Americans that Barrack Obama is not experienced enough or ready to President. In the debates you showed us just how inexperienced Barrack Obama is. I know a lot of what candidates say is political to gain votes, but I also know you believed what you were telling us.
As your loyal supporter I have to respectfully tell you, I am not able to join you in the journey to elect Barrack Obama. I have not from day one felt he is a qualified person to be President. I have many issues with his policies, with his radical associations, with the lack of knowledge, with his lack of vetting, with the fact he does not make any of his public records public, with his attitude of entitlement, with his chastising Americans in his lengthy speeches, with him going abroad and impressing the Europeans by down talking Americans, I have a problem with his lack of passion and loyalty to the United States, with his elite attitude with his San Francisco millionaire friends talking down middle class mid westerners saying they cling to their Bibles and guns because they have lost hope. I could go on and on with all the reasons I personally feel Barrack Obama is not the best candidate to be elected, but then I think you already know and have heard this from many of your 18 million voters. You must do what you have to do, for what ever reasons you must do it, but, please do not expect your loyal supporters to “fall in line.” We are intelligent, passionate, loyal, patriotic Americans. We can not and will not in good conscious support Barrack Obama knowing he is not the best qualified candidate to be elected.
As much as it pains me to say this, I am no longer considering myself a democrat. The DNC has proven they can not be trusted to be a party for democracy, instead they are a party for themselves. The DNC has destroyed this party beyond recognition. After watching the forum at Saddleback church I am more convinced that voting for John McCain is the best choice, since you have not made it possible for me to vote for you. John McCain not only showed leadership, experience, patriotism, loyalty, passion, conviction, knowledge, and readiness, he also showed he is a humble man with a desire to serve this country before his own self. He was strong and decisive with his response with the Russian/Georgia incident. He did not need to get any advice from anyone, he did not have to think about it for a few days, he did not consider what to say to bolster his ratings in the polls and he did not show any weakness in speaking directly to Russia and telling this they must cease fire. This is the type of President I want to have my back,when the 3:00 a.m. phone call comes as your ad pointed out. This is a man who is ready on day one!
You said, “I am in it to win it.” What happened? Why did you give up and give in? Why did you suspend your campaign,yet not release your delegates? Why didn’t you take it all the way to Denver? Why are we hearing the roll call is insignificant because before it even takes place you will be conceding to Obama and releasing your delegates to him? Why have you allowed your supporters to be yet again disheartened and disappointed?
PUMA PAC has worked tirelessly to demand the DNC rectify the mistakes they have made throughout this campaign. Puma wants the DNC to be held accountable for the disaster they have made of this election process. I have found many great supporters in becoming a member of PUMA PAC. We have all one thing in common, and that is to BE HEARD and be recognized as the 18 million voices who went to the polls and voted for the best qualified candidate, Hillary Clinton. We have raised funds to make it possible for many PUMA members to attend the convention. Darragh Murphy the founder of PUMA PAC has gone over and beyond measures any one person would expect to form this group so we can find the comfort, friendship, and loyalty that has given us a ray of hope, that we will if not in Denver see the wrong, righted by the DNC, then we will in November when John McCain is the next President. Our goal is NOT to hurt or harm the already fractured democratic party, our goal is to never let anyone or any group take our votes and voices for granted, and never tell us ever again to …”Fall in line.”
Respectfully and regretfully,
So what do you do when it becomes glaringly apparent that the anointed one cannot speak without a teleprompter…when he stammers and stutters and falls all over his words…the press, who adore him, say he was just being thoughtful, taking his time, truly thinking about his answers..his campaign, always taking the high road, says that his opponent must have cheated…he already knew the questions and that’s why he gave better, more concise answers…hmm is it possible that the opponent is just the better candidate?…Has more experience?….NAW…it couldn’t be…after all Nancy Pelosi says the anointed one is a “gift from God”…..(insert gag reflex here)….
#296 texassherry… Wait a minute… I’m confused!
Are you on here under two names right now? Or, I know you from another blog?
halligan: Of course there is no fair tax. But I found the title of the story vastly amusing.
IF obama is thoroughly vetted he will surely be rejected by the american people..
the dnc and the obama campaign has become a massive PR operation whose goal it is to lie and hide the truth about obama..
shame on you DNC!!

I only use this name here. I use the other one when I comment on other blogs such as aol or cnn. I have a third one i use when I make fun of Obamabots on their sites.

#219 MountainSong
I just wrote a reply to the Washington Education Association’s PAC which is sending out e-mails in support of Gregoire and of course, O. Told them that they were making a grave error with their support of O and that the state of education falls right on Gregoire’s back the next four years. Our local district had to cut back $2.4 million dollars this fall. Scores on state testing had been slowing improving. State score standards rose this year and the scores tanked. With the lack of funding for basic education in this state, we have gone from 10th highest in the nation to the very bottom in the past twenty years. Even the Democratic legislature has not been as forth coming (promises, promises over the years). I don’t see O doing much of anything for us nationally as well. Just retired a year ago and we’re both glad we’re out of it now. The stress and direction wasn’t helping kids anymore, bottomline.
hooorah for congresswoman loretta sanchez who has come out and said hillary should be the nomineee!
#307 pink puma,
Yay!!! Where did you get that info? Did you see it on tv or get an email?
#301 Pink
Isn’t it humorous that the DNC has to create an image profile for O now? Does that mean his old image is wearing off?
For those that are trying to bold or italics… let me take a try at explaining it. You need to use the HTML language code rules in order for it to happen. So you need to use the letter b = bold or i = italic.
Now how do you signify b equals bold rather than the letter b? well it has to appear inside the carrot marks. The carrot marks when typed around text indicate the language code to do the instruction inside the carrot marks (but not to print out what is inside)… plus there is a third programming rule as follows:
Once you give an instruction at the beginning… you also have to give a similar instruction at the end. So if you give the instruction b (within the carrot marks) at the beginning — give the /b (within carrot marks) at the end of the bold text to signify that you ended the bold command. Same applies to italics — just substitute an i for the b.
If I type the carrot marks — I risk they may be mistaken for the HTML code command and may not appear… but they are on your keyboard above the comma and period and use them the same way you would surround normal text with parenthesis. Does that explanation make sense?
#304 1gypsy4mc… I have no clue on the “heart”
…and let’s not talk who’s older – it might be me.
———————————
#303 texassherry … Oh. OK! So you’re the one the Obamabots are always blaming us for! LOL!
——————————–
I still go there too sometimes. I saw Normita’s lonely (only) post over on Hillary’s site today – reminding Hillary that she was lighting candles for her. Sad Moment.
I’m not at all sure whether I’m paying more attention to the Convention…or events on the world scene. Seems like Bush’s reponse to Russia and Iran are of paramount importance. Conflict with either, or both, would be sure to knock Obama out of any possibility of becoming Commander in Chief. One thing is for sure….we cannot afford to ignore either threat.
#307 pink puma WOW!!! WHERE DID YOU SEE OR HEAR THAT!!!
PROWL TIME FOR Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez???
#192 sallyneary
Agreed! I wouldn’t use Corsi as a footnote reference to any fact I was using in a doctoral paper. He just doesn’t have the credibility. Even though I’m not an O fan and feel he’s not been vetted, it does have to be done properly. I have problems with the National Enquirer, but that was because the MSM didn’t do good, critical inquiry and investigative news on Edwards (Obama, and a few others in politics).There’s always been a fringe in the press world, but its completely taken over because people crave the “dirt”. Do I want to live in a fairy tale world, no. But journalism has gotten so bad that what is there to believe anymore.
#291 that is the only number I use, it is her campaign office and at least you can talk to someone. I think Jeremy is programmed to say what he has to say. However, you can send Hillary an e-mail at her website, I understand that she has hired extra help to read all of them so she will know what we expect of her.
306 halligan~~IMHO, Gregoire has to go. As far as I’m concerned our Governor is Washington state’s own version of Nancy Pelosi.

From CBS News site:
Rep. Loretta Sanchez says she’s happy for the chance to vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton at the Democratic National Convention, and she predicts that as many as half of the Democrats in the House could join her.
Just how many former Clinton supporters will vote for the former First Lady during the symbolic first ballot is anybody’s guess, but each of them will be called upon to do so, whether they want to or not.
On Friday, the Obama campaign confirmed that the floor vote in Denver, intended to assuage Clinton supporters still stewing over her narrow loss, will be conducted as a state-by-state roll call. Under proposed convention bylaws, delegates would be forced to register their votes on a tally sheet with the convention secretary — the rules could be altered or suspended before the start of the convention.
“By putting her name in nomination, you’re putting people on the spot,” said former delegate counter Matt Seyfang, adding a second potential drawback: “Having a roll call … just chews into your broadcast time.”
Lower-key options were available. For example, Clinton’s name could have been entered into nomination, followed by laudatory speeches, ending with her release of delegates to Obama and proposal that he be nomination by acclamation, Seyfang said.
Obama spokesman Bill Burton said the “mechanics” of the roll call vote are still being worked out, but he conceded that Clinton probably will garner many votes on the first ballot.
For Obama’s camp, the roll call is a ritual that will defuse any potential tension with Clinton or her supporters without affecting the outcome or the theater of Obama’s dramatic nomination.
Said Sanchez: “I believe there are a lot of supporters for Hillary among the superdelegates, especially now that they’ve agreed to place her name in nomination. I think half the House Democrats would probably be Hillary supporters, especially women. … I felt she was the most experienced and the best candidate and I still feel that way.”
Clinton herself has said she plans to vote for Obama.
A longtime Clinton adviser said it was “crazy” to guess at numbers but estimated that the former first lady would garner between 600 and 1,200 delegates – considerably short of the approximately 1,800 she had collected at the time of her departure from the race in early June.
“It’s a bizarre strategy,” said one Democratic strategist of the roll call. “It could backfire and show that her influence is waning. Chances are, she’s not going to have as many delegates vote for her on the floor as she had in the primary.”
Indeed, many Hillary diehards, including at least one member of the New York delegation, are reluctant to vote for Clinton after switching over to Obama.

They are soooooooo worried about what is happening to the party.

TOOK delegates away from Hillary and gave Obama delegates he did
NOT earn. Plus if they can’t give us a better candidate vote for,
than that …..its not our fault…believe it or not the american
people are not stupid. If he had sent me his resume I would have
tossed it in the trash. You can’t run a country on bad judgment:
Staying in a Racist Church for 20 years ( bad judgment)…
Picking friends from the Radical miss lead jerks of the
country and abroad ( bad judgment )!!
He once said you should vote for me on my judgment…what a joke

Who ever talked him into running should have their head examined.
If he had told Hillary he would be her VP…and had it happen he
might have learned enough to run in 8 years. But he is so arrogant and

really think that he can run this country????????????????????????

Just sent Loretta Sanchez an email on her website – told her how proud I was that she made known her support of Senator Clinton. I am SO proud she represents California – told her to put me on the list when she runs for re-election she’ll have my $$upport.
Emailed all the Supers from California and quoted the California statue – thanks for that.
Obama was so lackluster on Saturday – he REALLY has no idea what to say about anything – makes, God willing I don’t have to, voting for McCain that much easier. I’m still not cancelling my reservations for my hotel in Washington DC for the Hillary inauguration – I STILL BELIEVE IN MIRACLES!!!!! (and PUMAS).
Thank you Halligan, for the support.
diva2, ok so you have decided that Corsi is right about Obama. He has referred to Senator Clinton as a “fat hog” and a “lesbo”, yet Clinton supporters are enthusiastically pushing money his way. What are you thinking? Do you suppose that Senator Clinton would appreciate your enriching of this vile man?

I just got off the phone with the nicest election official in CO – the list had them wrong, too – who asked whether he could use my explanation of the role of the Party in this Presidential nomination process because people keep complaining to him, they are breaking the rules. And he has to tell them, ‘We have nothing to do with the internal operations of the Democratic Party.’ I synthesized their role in the process and he asked whether he could repeat my explanation. I said I would send him an email.
And he suggested I should junk that list. (Swing state NV bit the dust, too.)

I am so sorry for interrupting all your conversations. Just am new here and realized I am not getting what you all are referring to the Prowl. Have a great evening.
NOBAMA supporters are now starting to see the light, some are puking their guts out from drinking KOOLAID. MSM shored up NOBAMA during primary, they were making millions out of him, he was a CASH COW that keeps on giving. Now the media are slowly exposing him especially those engage in investigative journalism; but you can’t find these journalists in CNN or MSNBC – these are journalists who believes truth must be told and thoroughly investigative.

MSM don’t have the monopoly anymore of news, average Joe can use the power of the internet and do its own investigation and exposed what the media are trying to hide from the viewers.

I called Loretta Sanchez. The lady that answered the phone was very kind and said Loretta has always supported Hillary. How can you not support her?!
My response to Bill Clinton’s email about Denver:
Dear President Clinton,
I do plan on being in Denver for the convention; however, it will not be to watch with joy Barack Obama accepting the nomination. I have worked tirelessly for many, many months working for Senator Clinton’s campaign. I have donated over a thousand dollars for the campaign and then to pay off the debt. I work for a social service agency in California – the state without a budget. Trust me when I say I do not earn much money. I have made endless calls during the primaries. I have made signs. I have hosted letter writing parties. I have traveled out of state to hear Senator Clinton speak. I have spent countless days working with Puma to see her get a fair fight during the convention. My optimism of hearing the news that she will be on the roll call ballot has turned once again to anger that this will be more of the same – a symbolic gesture meant to appease those “bitter Clinton supporters”. My fight is now beyond Hillary Clinton. I am standing up to ensure the Democratic Party never has another opportunity to manufacture it’s presidential choice and ignore the voice of the voters. So to that end, I am sorry, but I am out of money, patience and good nature.
Sincerely,
Laurey Long
FORMER DEMOCRAT AND PROUD MEMBER OF THE JUST SAY NO DEAL COALITION AND PUMA PAC

IMPORTANT: FOX DOCUMENTARY on NOBO & McCain
Fox is having a documentary tonight on Obama’s life and tomorrow on Senator McCain. I believe it is 8pst and 11 est. The guy doing the documentary said EVERYTHING they found out about NOBO is NEW. He was amazed that this guy is running for POTUS and basically we don’t know about him. They will be talking about his associations, his travels to INdonesia, Hawaii, Kenya. Maybe they will break something tonight! I can fantasize, can’t I??

I came up with a trick to be able to show the html code-tags….
So this is exactly what one should type at the start & end of text you want in BOLD:
<b>text you want in bold</b>
That’s a… b …within… < > …at the beginning of the text
…and a… /b …within… < > …at the end of the text you want in bold.
For ITALICS, it’s the same, but instead of a… b … use the letter… i … like this:
<i>text you want in italics</i>
** When you type these end-tags, they will disappear when you submit your post, and your tagged text will turn into bold or italics.
I just got called by the automated Rasmussen poll. I loved it. I said I was a democrat. When asked who I would vote for – BO or McCain, I said McCain. Then it asked me if I was sure. Too bad you can not leave a verbal response.

I have been trying to understand why I have not gotten any Prowls in my email since I became a member as of 8-9. I also was asking if anyone got any confirmations back on their contributions for postcards or signs. I know the person taking care of it must be busy just wanted to make sure I will be receiving a sign carried by a fellow Puma and will be getting a postcard from Denver. Yesterday I pointed out that my name was on the list of donations for the day for the Denver trip, but I mentioned I had only donated for the sign and post card at that time.
I also saw that Murphy mentioned a press release was going out today and wanted to know if it has. Since I am not getting the Prowls you all mentioned you have been getting, I began getting concerned.
It appears my name is not on the mailing list.

I think it is Mama Puma that sets this up – she’s on vacation – let Murphy or Maryland Puma know. I didn’t get mine at first either.
Oneof18million: Did you get your questions answered? By the time I got back to my computer, it looked like you had. We never mind interrupting our daily routine to help new members.
Prowl done. I used the bobot letter link given to send my letter… do hope that is okay.
Letter to the Editor:
Who Vets Presidential Candidates? Obviously the DNC doesn’t. If they did, they would have realized the heyday Jerome Corsi and others could have digging through the past of their presidential hopeful, Barack Obama. I recommend everyone read Corsi’s book, then do your own research, and you will find that much of the information is indeed true.
As a life-long democrat, I am disgusted with the DNC for “selecting” a candidate with little experience, a poor legislative record, and questionable past. They have tried to prop him up and glossed over the facts, but it still remains that he is not a good choice. Read Corsi’s book and you will see why.
The democrats should have walked away with the election this year, instead, they will lose. And even worse, Obama’s decision to not to take public financing is hurting down-ticket democrats’ efforts to fund their campaigns. Oh what a tangled web the DNC does weave. Their leadership needs a total overall. In the meantime, I will not give their candidate my vote as he is unfit for the presidency.

Obama Cover-up Revealed On Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Bill
The following statement was issued on Monday, August 11, 2008, by the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) in Washington, D.C.
New documents just obtained by NRLC, and linked below, prove that Senator Obama has for the past four years blatantly misrepresented his actions on the Illinois Born-Alive Infants Protection bill.
Summary and comment by NRLC spokesman Douglas Johnson: “Newly obtained documents prove that in 2003, Barack Obama, as chairman of an Illinois state Senate committee, voted down a bill to protect live-born survivors of abortion — even after the panel had amended the bill to contain verbatim language, copied from a federal bill passed by Congress without objection in 2002, explicitly foreclosing any impact on abortion. Obama’s legislative actions in 2003 — denying effective protection even to babies born alive during abortions — were contrary to the position taken on the same language by even the most liberal members of Congress. The bill Obama killed was virtually identical to the federal bill that even NARAL ultimately did not oppose.”
In 2000, the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act (BAIPA) was first introduced in Congress. This was a two-paragraph bill intended to clarify that any baby who is entirely expelled from his or her mother, and who shows any signs of life, is to be regarded as a legal “person” for all federal law purposes, whether or not the baby was born during an attempted abortion. (To view the original 2000 BAIPA, click here.)
In 2002, the bill was enacted, after a “neutrality clause” was added to explicitly state that the bill expressed no judgment, in either direction, about the legal status of a human prior to live birth. (The “neutrality” clause read, “Nothing in this section shall be construed to affirm, deny, expand, or contract any legal status or legal right applicable to any member of the species homo sapiens at any point prior to being ‘born alive’ as defined in this section.”) The bill passed without a dissenting vote in either house of Congress. (To view the final federal BAIPA as enacted, click here. To view a chronology of events pertaining to the federal BAIPA, click here.)
Meanwhile, Barack Obama, as a member of the Illinois State Senate, actively opposed a state version of the BAIPA during three successive regular legislative sessions. His opposition to the state legislation continued into 2003 — even after NARAL had withdrawn its initial opposition to the federal bill, and after the final federal bill had been enacted in August 2002.
When Obama was running for the U.S. Senate in 2004, his Republican opponent criticized him for supporting “infanticide.” Obama countered this charge by claiming that he had opposed the state BAIPA because it lacked the pre-birth neutrality clause that had been added to the federal bill. As the Chicago Tribune reported on October 4, 2004, “Obama said that had he been in the U.S. Senate two years ago, he would have voted for the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, even though he voted against a state version of the proposal. The federal version was approved; the state version was not. . . . The difference between the state and federal versions, Obama explained, was that the state measure lacked the federal language clarifying that the act would not be used to undermine Roe vs. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court opinion that legalized abortion.”
During Obama’s 2008 run for President, his campaign and his defenders have asserted repeatedly and forcefully that it is a distortion, or even a smear, to suggest that Obama opposed a state born-alive bill that was the same as the federal bill. See, for example, this June 30, 2008 “factcheck” issued by the Obama campaign, in the form that it still appeared on the Obama website on August 7, 2008. The Obama “cover story” has often been repeated as fact, or at least without challenge, in major organs of the news media. (Two recent examples: CNN reported on June 30, 2008, “Senator Obama says if he had been in the U.S. Senate in 2002, he, too, would have voted in favor of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act because unlike the Illinois bill, it included language protecting Roe v. Wade.” The New York Times reported in a story on August 7, 2008 that Obama “said he had opposed the bill because it was poorly drafted and would have threatened the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade that established abortion as a constitutional right. He said he would have voted for a similar bill that passed the United States Senate because it did not have the same constitutional flaw as the Illinois bill.”)
National Right to Life and other pro-life observers have always regarded Obama’s “defense” as contrived, since the original two-paragraph BAIPA on its face applied only after a live birth; the “neutrality clause” added in 2001 merely made this explicit, and therefore the new clause did not change the substance of the original bill.

#379 Laurey4Hill, LOVE your letter good for YOU!
_____________________
Well, I got my email once again from Hillary wanting a contribution to have the chance to be with her at the convention to hear her speech and watch Obama’s acceptance speech. Here is my reply:
Dear Hillallry,
I would love to help contribute to this cause, my only hesitation is that YOU will not be the candidate making the acceptance speech. I have supported you and your husband for as long as I can remember. When you decided to run for the nomination,I decided to get actively involved in the process for the first time in my voting years. I worked at your headquarters here in Toledo, Ohio and was so proud to tell all my family and friends how fun and excited it was to be a part of making history. I went to see Bill when he came to Toledo and shouted HILL A RY! HILL A RY! until I had no voice left. I held my friend’s five year old little girl and told her that one day she too can run to be President. She held your sign up high and shouted….HILL A Ry along with me, her Mother and her ninety year old grandmother. I was so filled with joy that day it was beyond words to describe.
I never in my wildest dream had expected the DNC to break rules, mistreat you and not come to your defense when Obama and his campaign began their oh but not so subtle attacks on you and Bill. You assured your supporters, as you put it, “I am in it to win it.” You said, “We are taking this all the way to Denver.” On the day you suspended your campaign I sat and watched with tears in my eyes. I thought, how can this be happening. I know you are the best qualified candidate to be the next President of the United States.
When you asked your supporters to get behind Barrack Obama I could barely believe I was hearing those words coming from you. As you campaigned you were precise and direct in conveying to your supporters and all Americans that Barrack Obama is not experienced enough or ready to President. In the debates you showed us just how inexperienced Barrack Obama is. I know a lot of what candidates say is political to gain votes, but I also know you believed what you were telling us.
As your loyal supporter I have to respectfully tell you, I am not able to join you in the journey to elect Barrack Obama. I have not from day one felt he is a qualified person to be President. I have many issues with his policies, with his radical associations, with the lack of knowledge, with his lack of vetting, with the fact he does not make any of his public records public, with his attitude of entitlement, with his chastising Americans in his lengthy speeches, with him going abroad and impressing the Europeans by down talking Americans, I have a problem with his lack of passion and loyalty to the United States, with his elite attitude with his San Francisco millionaire friends talking down middle class mid westerners saying they cling to their Bibles and guns because they have lost hope. I could go on and on with all the reasons I personally feel Barrack Obama is not the best candidate to be elected, but then I think you already know and have heard this from many of your 18 million voters. You must do what you have to do, for what ever reasons you must do it, but, please do not expect your loyal supporters to “fall in line.” We are intelligent, passionate, loyal, patriotic Americans. We can not and will not in good conscious support Barrack Obama knowing he is not the best qualified candidate to be elected.
As much as it pains me to say this, I am no longer considering myself a democrat. The DNC has proven they can not be trusted to be a party for democracy, instead they are a party for themselves. The DNC has destroyed this party beyond recognition. After watching the forum at Saddleback church I am more convinced that voting for John McCain is the best choice, since you have not made it possible for me to vote for you. John McCain not only showed leadership, experience, patriotism, loyalty, passion, conviction, knowledge, and readiness, he also showed he is a humble man with a desire to serve this country before his own self. He was strong and decisive with his response with the Russian/Georgia incident. He did not need to get any advice from anyone, he did not have to think about it for a few days, he did not consider what to say to bolster his ratings in the polls and he did not show any weakness in speaking directly to Russia and telling this they must cease fire. This is the type of President I want to have my back,when the 3:00 a.m. phone call comes as your ad pointed out. This is a man who is ready on day one!
You said, “I am in it to win it.” What happened? Why did you give up and give in? Why did you suspend your campaign,yet not release your delegates? Why didn’t you take it all the way to Denver? Why are we hearing the roll call is insignificant because before it even takes place you will be conceding to Obama and releasing your delegates to him? Why have you allowed your supporters to be yet again disheartened and disappointed?
PUMA PAC has worked tirelessly to demand the DNC rectify the mistakes they have made throughout this campaign. Puma wants the DNC to be held accountable for the disaster they have made of this election process. I have found many great supporters in becoming a member of PUMA PAC. We have all one thing in common, and that is to BE HEARD and be recognized as the 18 million voices who went to the polls and voted for the best qualified candidate, Hillary Clinton. We have raised funds to make it possible for many PUMA members to attend the convention. Darragh Murphy the founder of PUMA PAC has gone over and beyond measures any one person would expect to form this group so we can find the comfort, friendship, and loyalty that has given us a ray of hope, that we will if not in Denver see the wrong, righted by the DNC, then we will in November when John McCain is the next President. Our goal is NOT to hurt or harm the already fractured democratic party, our goal is to never let anyone or any group take our votes and voices for granted, and never tell us ever again to …”Fall in line.”
Respectfully and regretfully,
#396 Oneof18million cracks… ok so did you get the answers you needed yet? Now are you not getting any prowls or just not all sometimes, because I do know some people here do their own like that one with Tom Blackwell I didn’t receive a email from him so I didn’t write him and that wasn’t assigned for us to do by Murphy. You can always count on me if I know what’s going on sometimes I’m out of the loop too…lol.
I’m confused….how can Obama be losing favor with Democrats but go up in the polls? Are the polls on his payroll, too?
oh my …someone told Obama that he needs to tell the people in WalMart in 10 words or less what he is going to do for them….i think i want to slap them ..right on the azz.
Maryland PUMA: For those of us who can’t go to Denver, will there be a way we could get a copy of the film, Audacity of Democracy?
The most recent polls could have been in a Blue state. But one has to break these down in categories also (IMO). Don’t know how it all works.
#407 MountainSong now I’m confused what polls is he going up in? Last couple of ones I;ve seen posted here he is dropping and gallop had them tied. But I guess if that is the case then if there is a way to put polls on payroll you bet your a** he did.

I will attempt to email maryland or Murphy and try to get my answers. I just want to make sure I get a sign and postcard. I also would like the Prowls or any other emails that may go out. Does anyone know if the press release has gone out today? Thanks again.
I wonder why no one ever reports on BO’s stuttering and stammering. I just heard a brief clip from him today and he drives me crazy.

can anyone else help here? Post #412
#406 slyt2 I have not received any Prowls since I joined 8-9. I have read comments about people getting them and had NO idea what they were.
I paid for a sign and postcard. I don’t care who carries my sign. But my concern is that they posted my name as a Denver Trip contribution after I donated for the sign and postcard, so I am concerned they mixed that up.
I will try to contact Murphy or maryland. Thanks
#359 Melipal My husband is outside now taking stuff into the garage so it won’t get blown about. I’m going to have to finish up in the morning, take all the bird feeders, wind chimes’ potted plants, etc. down. Winds could go up to 65mph. Hope I don’t lose electricity. If I do, I still have MRE’s from the last hurricane!
#379 Laurey4hill
I liked your letter, it expressed how alot of us have felt. I personally try to not to let my mind go there as I believe and always have that Senator Clinton will win in Denver. Either Denver or November NOBO is about to implode, just not exactly sure when. I also know both Clintons learned how to play *61’s game and they are going to Denver and have a plan that will beat *61 so much that the best he will be able to do is whimper as MO is yelling at him for letting that “b___h” beat him and now where will they live since they put their house up for sale while they have to leave with no secret service with them!!
Okay, truly, I have never doubted from the very beginning of the campaign that Senator Clinton would win. I felt *61’s evil and just trusted that it would never come to past that Americans would allow his Hitlerism to prevail.
lol
Go and i are working on a new video, stay tuned, it won’t be for the faint of heart cause after all this work we’re still getting bullsh*t answers and i for one am tired of it. So, i’m not getting angry dammit, I’m getting even!

slyt2,
Yes, late yesterday a CNN reporter was on TV kind of post-grilling that pastor, “Um, how do you KNOW McCain was sequestered away,” blah,blah,blah.
To this viewer it was yet one more example of how pathetic the reporting on CNN has become, and how much their reporters _love_ to fawn (pun intended) over Obambi…
Hey, CNN, listen up! We’ll all be watching to see how you treat Hillary Clinton when she becomes the nominee.
As I posted about this last night, objective reporting by msm in America is “so yesterday” !
I can’t beleive they are trying to use an excuse for how poorly BO did,,,,lol .. too funny

This one is incomplete:
Dear Editor:
I have included the First Amendment as a reminder to the American People that it is your responsibility to give honest opinions and facts concerning those candidates running for public office –mainly for the President of the United States.
Amendments to the Constitution of the United States
Amendment 1
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
This letter specifically pertains to the lack of acknowledgements or unnecessary ridicule the book written by Corsi, “Obama Nation”. This book does not contain anything new or different than what can be researched through informative and documented research. The difference is that Mr. Corsi continued to gather his information and put it into print.
The information provided concerning Barack Obama is still incomplete. Why? The news media that supports Obama does not want anything negative to be put into print. Also, no one really knows who Obama “is”. I don’t think he does either!
Today I called several polling companies and asked them to include a hypothetical poll with Sen. Clinton as the nominee in their tracking polls. I left a message at Gallup, but got through to a person at Zogby and Pew. They seemed surprised at my suggestion, so it is possible that they haven’t been getting messages from us to include Hillary in tracking polls.
Here are their numbers:
Gallup 1-800-288-8592
Zogby 1-877-GO2-POLL (option 3)
462-7655
Pew Research 202-419-4350
We should call them now and ask them to include Hillary as a hypothetical nominee. Remind them how important this election is and that Sen. Obama has not been nominated yet, if at all.
Also, I sent emails to several polling companies as well: Gallup, Quinnipiac, and Rasmussen. Here are their email addresses:
info@rasmussenreports.com
pollinginstitute@quinnipiac.edu
sarah_van_allen@gallup.com
And here is the message I wrote:
I am writing to you to encourage you to include a hypothetical presidential tracking poll that shows Sen. Clinton as the Democratic nominee running against Sen. McCain in the general election and show the results to the public and media. In this important election year, with the future of our nation in the balance, it is important that the public has all the polling information on all potential candidates. The Democratic Party has not nominated Sen. Obama yet and superdelegates can change their mind at the convention, so it would be unfortunate if they, the party leaders, and the public did not have all the information on all potential nominees. Thank you.
If we keep lobbying them to include Hillary in tracking polls between now and the convention, then they just may do it and the results would be powerful evidence to encourage superdelegates to change their minds.
TOPIC: A letter I sent. This is more tepid than other things I’ve written, but I think it works for msm, hahaha.
Dear Editor,
As a lifelong Democrat I regret to inform you the new book “ObamaNation” appears to contain far more truth, by far, about Barack Obama than it contains falsehoods. In fact, while looking through the book at my local Borders this weekend I didn’t see a whole lot in there that I either didn’t already know, or already suspect.
The information on how he didn’t really vote on the Iraq war? Correct. The information that he has shady Chicago ties, including ties to a man named Rezko? Correct. Information about his pastors and information about black theology? Correct again.
None of this is very good news for the Democratic Party. At all. It means that our leaders failed to do their job in properly vetting this candidate and it shows poor chances of a November victory against McCain.
Eight years of Republican nightmare is enough, and this neck-and-neck race is scary. The Democratic Party needs to wake up and enter the right horse in the race, so our party doesn’t lose. Again.
That highly qualified and electable candidate is Hillary Clinton. Remember her, and her 18-million voters?
And yes, I’m a member of PUMA, and proud to be working with an association as committed to honest Democracy as this grassroots group is. With gusto.
Wake up, superdelegates and DNC!

put the closing carrot there too… you’re getting even closer. Look at post #387 to see an example.
Slyt2……….are you still here?????
#440 hillstheone oh lord , alright thanks for answering this is such a bunch of crap. You know Hillary went first when her and BO did this, did she say he over heard her NO and why not because she is not a sneaky , underhanded cheater. Only cheaters would think on that level or make up excuses why he can’t speak without his teleprompter.
good evening pumas
can someone explains to me
how to become a delegate and superdelegate??
where are they picked???’ at a cattle show?
that they exchange them as pretencious pleases

Thanks for watching. That was difficult to watch. It is clear as middle finger in each of my hands that these two wonderful American’s are not only heart broken, but have been threatened to back the pretender and the undemocratic party. Bill is really ticked, Hillary is afraid to speak her real feelings in public. Their mouths are duct taped.

Slyt2….i am a woman it was a joke!!! Just wanted to let you know i emailed cuindenver@gmail to confirm that goandersen will carry your sign….thank you go, and thank you antifish for carrying our signs….i am so grateful more than you know!!!
Everyone make sure to do the prowl from Will’s email (refer to post #17 for this one)… we need to have someone investigate the delegate tampering. It might be a good idea to include a link to this article in your emails on this topic:
http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/08/18/kentucky-clinton-supporters-protest-clinton-delegate-replacement/
Be sure to have your emails politely state that you want a neutral third party monitoring system and investigation similar to ones that we might enact when monitoring elections in other countries.
And emphasize that this process needs to be guaranteed that BOTH nominees receive FAIR and VALID opportunities for a democratic process… we will be watching.

I had to have a lil’ cry Puma People–we did so good over the weekend (almost $18,000.00 PUMA Dollars). The thing about these dollars is that they count 10 fold because of the HEARTS and MINDS backing them. We are like the tiny but strong ant moving mountains, and I love all the ants
I also wanted to say that I contacted Hillary’s senate office today and I was told that NO ONE KNOWS what Hillary is going to do in Denver. I almost peed my pants. I have NOT stopped praying since Dr. Bledsoe said pray and I won’t until HILLARY is in the WHITE HOUSE!!

Note: citizens of the states in each letter are sending the original to the AG, with a copy to the S of S; the head of state Democratic Party; and a blind copy (that is, a copy not designated on the original letter) to delegates pledged to HRC in those states, with this hand-written note: “We have your back.

007girl on 08.18.08 at 6:42 pm —There are so many allegations on Rick Warren forum its not funny. The democrats are saying McCain easedropped, was given the questions earlier and I think I heard a few other questions.
To me this at least says that they feel that the Democrats feel that McCain won.
But on the other hand it says to me that the Democrats are a really sore losers.
The DNC needs to realize that Obama cannot think on his feet. The DNC needs to realize that if its on on a teleprompter Obama cannot speak on his feet.

LMAO I know. It was too funny.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In POLITICO.com… an article RE: HRC in roll-call… &:
How many delegates’ votes will Hillary get in the convention?
EXCERPTS:
- For Obama’s camp, the roll call is a ritual that will defuse any potential tension with Clinton or her supporters without affecting the outcome or THE THEATER OF OBAMA’S DRAMATIC NOMINATION.
- …..[It’s] estimated that the former first lady would garner between 600 and 1,200 delegates — considerably short of the approximately 1,800 she had collected at the time of her departure from the race in early June.
- “It’s a bizarre strategy,”………….“It could backfire and show that her influence is waning. Chances are, she’s not going to have as many delegates vote for her on the floor as she had in the primary.”
- Indeed, many Hillary diehards……… are reluctant to vote for Clinton after switching over to Obama.
- “I think that most superdelegates, including myself, are going for Obama,” [he campaigned for Clinton!]
- Other onetime Clinton backers are reluctant to reverse course for fear of angering their black constituents.
- Obama’s decision to accept a roll call vote……… doesn’t mean he’ll let the process get out of hand, observers say. [!!!]
- “The convention is about nominating Barack, so his people want to speed through the vote as fast as possible so it won’t take too much TV time”…………..“They also want to avoid a scenario where she’s leading at any point.”
——————————————–
So the BO-camp’s attitude is: Let’s give those angry Clintonites a little symbolic ritual to appease them… Let’s do it quick so we can get the media focus out of there and into the grand BO coronation!

K in the Northwest,
The campaign cannot accept defeat….so they want to blame it on McCain….that he heard the questions….it just didn’t happen….Obama needs to accept defeat and stop blaming people that he sucks!!!
thank you!
#404 Asian4Hillary
Unbelievable. Like when asked during Saddlebrook for an example of changing his views, and he said “welfare reform. ” But he only supported the welfare bill he opposed in Il because President Clinton had signed a federal welfare reform bill into law and, in order to qualify for the federal money, Il had to adopt the provisions in the federal law.
And when he was asked for an example of going against his party, he cited his opposition to the war, embellishing the dilemma he faced by making it sound like he was actually a U.S. Senator instead of just running for the office.
#479 007girl
I love it! LOL!
I did the prowls and told Mr phil take care of us we are the backbone of this party we make it possible for the head to be held up. So take care of your back
Ooops… sorry… i didn’t mean to put the whole thing in bold.

Yeah… and any minute now, he will give MJc the finger, just like he did to HRC after botching the debate in Philadelphia.
Puff up your chests pumas, find and download Melissa Etheridge What Happens Tomorrow.
#399 Asian4Hillary, thanks for the link.
I hope both BO and his evil wife get out of our great nation!
It just chaps my hide….when the Obama people can’t “get over it” but they want the Hillary supporters to “get over it”!!! “O” mygodnooooo sucks!!! Hellooooo it was transparent!!! He lost that debate/discussion !!!
WOW….When you read Max’s story in #484 there is a poll link on the saddleback show. 70-23 think mccain was the best! 7% think they tied
Take the poll!!!
I just think this goes to show you how BO handles things first it was said by his people and followers the media was wrong he did much better in the question and answer forum then McCain did.When that didn’t take he goes to the next step NOW McCain is a cheater. He is such a little baby once again crying to mommy when things don’t go his way like he did over Hillary in the primaries again the question comes to mind what mommy is he going to run to if god forbid he becomes president and someone from another country “gets in his face about something”.
# 297 Oneof18millioncracks – What an incredibly moving letter you wrote. I’m speechless. You poured your heart into it, organized your thoughts, spoke with respect while at the same time with such honesty. My hat’s off to you. That is quite a letter!!!
# 307 pink puma and antifish and/or anyone who’s worked on the pledged delegate data base – Where did you hear Loretta Sanchez so boldly state her commitment to Clinton? I ask because Loretta Sanchez is a pledged delegate from CA and on the pledged delegate spread sheet she is noted as an pledged to cast her vote for Obama. Wierd.
I am back, sorry husband had his 2 weeks off and we have just one computer so I gave it up for his time off.
Back at work tomorrow for both of us.
Back to Puma for me. I need you guys. I am going back to the land of Kool Aid drinkers AKA the school district.
Even our superintendent slipped in a plug for Obama this mourning at our beginning of the year celebration. It was disgusting. She had this video were she played “Kids Say the Darndest Things” with some of our elementary kids.
Our superintendent used these kids. I was enraged. Kids are not Props! 1 hour of her interviewing kids which is 1 hour of baby kissing, yuck!
They had 17 hours of footage but managed to squeeze in the politics part.
You should a heard this one kid who said Hillary would be the most evil.
When one kid said he wanted Obama the teachers applauded so guess how your tax dollars are being spent in the class room. Kool Aid instead of critical thinking.
oh you lucky taxpayers.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr. Fraken land of the lost!
I fell the anger returning, in a week I will be a volcano!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
#379 Laurey4Hill What a great letter and so true! I think you should fax that to Hillary’s campaign HQ:
(703) 962-8600. I believe that is how most of us who supported her feel. I certainly agree with everything you said.
I have a Obama supporter friend and she admitted he was terrible that night, but still will support him!!!
( shaking my head) I don’t get it !!!!
I think tomorrow is Bill Clinton’s birthday?
Wonder what we can do for him…
Writer needs some PUMA smacks. Said Hillary would have been dreadful and bo was the best candidate to take on the challenge!
phillyforhillary
WE NEED NEW HRC POLLS BEFORE THE CONVENTION
(because I predict they will show her numbers remain higher than BO’s or JMc’s)
I spoke to a pollster at Rasmussen almost 2 weeks ago now, to report they needed to expand their polling. And several of us have contacted them since then, especially after the announcement HRC would be put into nomination at the convention. But still, no polls. So go over and around them. Contact other polling groups – USAToday; RCP; SurveyUSA; etc. – or, if you are fixed on Rasmussen, email your requests for polling including HRC’s name and copy sponsors and advertisers on their web site. (Rasmussen is an LLC; I don’t have the time to look up the names of the legal entities involved.)
#390 Asian4Hillary
That is one of the most difficult videos I have ever seen.
We cannot allow this horrible, arrogant, unprincipled fraud to be president.
#484 Maxgrader
If only! If Olbermann and then Shuster (sp) are the next to go my smile will be huge!
Here’s a copy of the letter I wrote regarding Corsi’s book, “Obama Nation”, which I e-mailed to several local newspapers:
“Corsi’s book “Obama Nation” focuses attention on some very troubling matters that Barack Obama needs to respond to. He has not been forthcoming about his associates, his positions, and his values. This is very troubling in a candidate who feels that he deserves to be elected to the presidency.
As a result of the media’s fawning coverage of Senator Obama, we really know very little about him except for his photo-ops and sound bites. We know that he is for “change” (whatever that means), and that he has been selected by the DNC and the media without regard for the will of the voters.
If Obama really expects to earn the confidence of the American voters it is time for him to respond to the charges in this book and not hide behind accusations
of prejudice. The American people deserve no less.
Hi Taffy.
Yeah I noticed that poll too. Wasn’t even close! And if it weren’t for Obamabots McCain would have had another 23% who thought he did better.

#404 Fax your letter to Hillary’s office also, if she gets enough of them, she might have second thoughts about if her supporters will be there again in 2012. As much as I love Hillary, this has taken a toll on me, including sleepless nights. I don’t know if I can ever go thru anything like this again.
Two things before I dash out for soccer practice and voice lessons for the kids:
1. How does the DNC get the idea that we are going to be satisfied w/ a “symbolic” roll call??? How is that supposed to “appease” us??? Are you as dumbfounded as I am by this ridiculous notion.
2. Why doesn’t anyone in the MSM get it that without a scripted teleprompter running in front of his face Obama has no real ideas. McCain obviously has convictions and real knowledge of issues. While I usually don’t agree with him, I know what I am getting and I know where he is coming from. Obama has a very poor understanding of the issues because he has spent the last twenty years grooming himself for POTUS instead of trying to gain knowledge and experience- you know- the American way.
heaven help us
Is everyone convinced that this role call is merely symbolic?
I am holding onto Hope myself. (Not the fake Kool aid Kind)
I am hoping there is more going on in Hillarys camp that we are not seeing and that Denver will turn things around.

A BO-loss in Nov. gives Hillary a good chance in 2012 !
Excerpts from recent Real Clear Politics article:
- …the Clinton show in Denver will help lay the foundation for a 2012 presidential bid or, if Obama does emerge victorious, possibly in 2016, when she will still be four years younger than McCain is now.
- In Mrs. Clinton’s non-concession speech, when she first said she was “committed to uniting our party”, she famously asked: “What does Hillary want?” The answer is self-evident. She wants to be president. And what is now her most plausible path to the White House? A McCain victory in 2008.
- Naturally, for her to oppenly oppose Obama would be disastrous. Mrs. Clinton needs to play the good soldier, just as McCain did with George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004.

My letter,
I have read the book Obama Nation, I was pleased that the author had the audacity ( that the media seems to be lacking ) to delve into the life and affiliations of the presumptive nominee of the democratic party. What ever happened to good investigative journalism? The role of the media has shifted dramatically this political season and not for the better. I simply can not recall a time that one candidate has been so blatantly favored over another. Where is the vetting process in regards to Senator Obama? Where are the tough questions that every other candidate for president has to answer with openess and voracity? Where is the outrage when a presidential candidate sits in a church for twenty years, a church whose pastor ( and Obamas spiritual mentor ) spews vile anti-american sentiment? Where is the culpability for Senator Obama? Why should we be willing to accept a well crafted speech that addresses race relations as a way to divert our attention from the real issue? I ask you which is worse, being truthful about the reasons for your continued attendance and fellowship or the tossing aside of a twenty year relationship in the name of political expediency? Why should the majority of americans be kept in the dark about dodgy real estate deals, with nary a peep from the national media? Why the smoke and mirrors regarding his birth records, early family life and questions of his actual birth name? Should the voters, not the media be the judge of the information that one needs to make an informed decision, a decision that I and many others do not take lightly! You may be able to refute some of the information in Jerome Corsis book, but Senator Obama will never be able to dispute the fact that the american people are entitled to any and all information that they deem relevant in the choosing of the next President of the United States of America!
Sincerely,
xxxxxxx

Did you all see the interview Obama gave after the forum. He’s calling everyone liars for what they have been saying about his abortion stance. Overall I have been seeing most media saying that the bills he is calling different arent.
They are saying on the FOX special that it was common in the Indonesia schools to list the fathers religion and last name. This would challange the fact that BO was adopted and had another name.

Barry lied when he said he had not gone by any other names or that he was never a Muslim. I don’t care that his father filled it out, you are what your parents are and that is how you are brought up. He needs to be tested to see whether he is mentally qualified to be POTUS.

BO camp (& MSM) smearing J. Corsi’s & his #1 bestseller book on BO
—————–
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.”
—————————–
Corsi said: 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 is getting his surrogates to fiercely rebut Corsi’s book in the media.
– The BO camp denounced McCain for not denouncing “Obama Nation”
– Bo wrote a 40 page rebuttal to Corsi’s book. He supposedly posted it on his website in their “Fight the Smears” page.
– Corsi is working on a rebuttal to BO’s 40-page rebuttal.
– If the BO camp had legitimate ‘fraud’ charges against Corsi (& his book), they’d be taking him to court for libel.
– The MSM is helping BO convince us that “Obama Nation” is full of LIES
………for example, when Corsi was on Larry King recently, Larry had a fierce rebutter (from Media Matters) who hardly let Corsi speak.
………another example…. a CNN Political Ticker story last week ended like this:
“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……

middle age female – actually, i’m anticipating most media will reflect back after the fact, as they almost always do, exploring where they went wrong, what they could have done better, how they need to make changes for the next time, and so on. but, nothing changes and they’re idiots for the most part year after year, election after election, controversy after controversy. i chaulk it up to part of the dumbing down of america.

I meant “soul-less” (not soulness….)
Between Obama calling everyone liars on Obama’s abortion issues and most of Obama’s campaign calling the forum a setup this is getting ugly in the last couple of days.
According to Rick Warren McCain was in another building. So now the Democrats are questioning the accustics.
Here we go! Now they’re talking–Go Fox!

The Denver Group – Crunch Time
http://thedenvergroup.blogspot.com/2008/08/crunch-time.html
Is anyone else watching this?
I refuse to go on BO’s website so does anyone know if he addresses Fredosso’s book “The Case Against BO” in the Fight the Smears?
I’m nearly finished with it and it is fantastic! Very analytical and measured..and deadly.
My conclusion about Obambi, he is a scumbag and a bum. For the life of me, I don’t know how a person with no character could end up being the nominee.
NV Puma, sorry, YES, I am watching! Wish Ihad recorded it so I could watch it again

NO YOU WERE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME LOL
Trish thinks Ms. Pelosi is “sucking back the bottle again”
LOL!
I was surfing tv channels. I heard Pelosi on ABC say in response to
the question of who the VP would be: “We have two candidates, we don’t
know who the VP will be” I swear, that is what she said.
I don’t know how these people keep straight faces while so blatantly lying. Must all be drinking heavily.
I’m sure it’ll be on again 11 EST!

Loretta Sanchez was campaigning for Hillary since the beggining.
But her sister Linda Sanchez she is supporting Obama.

If no one has posted this yet, to get name on signs or receive postcard you have to e-mail CUinDenver@gmail.com. Send copy of receipt and who will carry your sign, if you have someone in mind. Otherwise they will find someone to do it. To receive card or cards, send the name and address where you want the card mailed. They will add your name to the list but will not verify individually. I also put my post name.
It does take time to get the prowls and I had to ask more than once.
#568 NVPuma I started to watch it but i just can’t I can’t handle seeing him hearing him I’m so sickened from that video I just can’t. I’m watching Nancy Grace right now about this bounty hunter getting that woman out of jail (the one who’s daughter has been missing since July).
Nothing noteworthy in the first half of the BO special on FOX. Everyone interviewed from his earlier years thought he was wonderful.
#588 goandersen I got it thanks and I voted. I was a little surprised how close McCain and Clinton are (she is winning but not by as much as one would think.
I just emailed the 5 superdelegates from Kansas encouraging them to think pragmatically. BO cannot win in November. Hillary can. She needs to leave Denver with the nomination. GO PUMAs.
Good lord, FOX!!! You really want us to like and vote for BO, huh??? Not gonna happen. Have you verified that all ur saying about him is the truth?
#548 Doria
How in-depth can it be? Obama is completely lacking in character.
I returned to work today after a month layoff (relaxing at the NJ shore), so I’ll celebrate that by sending another $50 to Puma. Good luck in Denver.

#291 BillieJo… Did someone here say earlier that they had talked to “Jeremy” and he said ‘Hillary did not want to be nominated due to lack of resources and her standing in the party’?

Honestly I don’t believe anything anymore unless I get the information from someone I trust. Right now you could count all those people on one hand. I don’t know what to believe so I am living in my own world right now of hope. I believe in Tinkerbell, I believe in Hillary.
Fox is getting the easy stuff out of the way before they start laying on the truth….at least that’s what I’m thinking

“I don’t know how these people keep straight faces while so blatantly lying”
BOTOX
I missed it-where’s the poll?
Hey slyt2 how is it going, Other than that horrendous video. He is a scary, scary man!
I tell ya I am a little disappointed with foxnews they were being fair and balanced until that day when BO and his camp came out and they said they were racist, unfair and all the other things they said about them. Now like the rest they are bending over backwards to appease him and show they aren’t bad people. Has anyone else noticed that too?
Billie Jo – I’m with you. Rumors abound. People get their news from U-Tube. The Obama campaign and the DNC have lost our trust. The media has been equally as unreliable. Hillary suspended her campaign and came out in support of Obama. Emotions are running high. I’m at the point of just trying to stay focused, act when and where I can and see how things unfold.
So far, the special on FOX looks like something the BO campaign would put together.

Hope you are right.
#601 michelle47 hey I’ve got a really bad sinus headache (always get them when it rains) but otherwise good. How about you, oh yea that video just horrible, He is beyond scary he is a sick sick man.

Are they trying to justify his theft of the nomination….or are they really worried he may not get it? That’s the $64,000 question to me.

Between the video and this FOX show I am about to lose my dinner…yet I keep watching .
*HOPE* something good comes up before I *CHANGE *the channel!
Hmmm…I kinda get what Fox is doing. They are rehashing all the crappola that people have put on the back burner. It is all now right back in the forefront and apparently that’s the good stuff.
when they come back we will get to see the controversy.

Michelle47 that was really , really good, I think you hit all the important questions and problems people have with him. Do you remember when the primaries were still going on there was a article in the paper (two actually) that talked about how bad the media was to Hillary and how in love they were with BO. I wish I could remember who wrote that article because she didn’t sound like she was to pro BO and maybe just maybe she would be a great one to give your article too. Oh yeah I give you a A++++++
BillieJo,
This is precisely what to type at the start & end of text you want in BOLD:
<b>text you want in bold</b>
That’s a… b …within… < > …at the beginning of the text
…and a… /b …within… < > …at the end of the text you want in bold.
For ITALICS, it’s the same, but instead of a… b … use the letter… i … like this:
<i>text you want in italics</i>
** When you type these end-tags, they will disappear when you submit your post, and your tagged text will turn into bold or italics depending on how you tagged it.

Personally, I don’t give a rats a@@ what moveon does. I just thought you could have some fun at their expense lol….
puma playtime if you will.
The ticker running during the last portion of the program, which was a dissing portion…was all about the complaint McCain filed for biased media, her answers, which were noted to be (as well as much of her news) from the Obama campaign, the reverend’s claim that the Obamanites charges are bogus.
Also, since it has been brought out that McCain was in another building they are now saying that the sound system allowed him to hear the questions.
They look like complete morons.
SUGGESTION:
In these crucial days before the convention, if anyone has an action idea and/or helpful link, may e-mail it specifically to Murphy and/or Maryland so it can be considered for a prowl or be featured on the top of a thread or something. Or, at the very least, bold you idea and/or link so it’s easy to find.

Not only does my “name” come up here, but on #135, #157, #291, #294, and #315—and still counting.

I’m here is Fl, waiting for TS Faye, but I got my prowl done. Here is my letter to the editor:
As Obama pours tens of millions of dollars a month into the media,I am so grateful that someone published a book telling the story Obama wants no one to hear.
The narcissism of Obama’s, “Fight the Smears,” campaign carries through in his rebuttal of Corsi’s book, “The Obama Nation.” Obama believes that all he has to do is call something a lie to make it so and that any rhetoric over details can invalidate the real issues.
Obama believes that the standards of truth and honesty do not apply to him and that anything he says can be rationalized and justified. Well, Obama’s rebuttal of Corsci’s book is nothing but rationalizations and justifications with a few details that may be factually of question.
And most disgusting of all is the dismissal these issues as bigotry. I am irate with Obama for his exploitation of his race. It detracts from the credibility of people who legitimately need to make that claim for protection from discrimination. SHAME ON YOU, BARACK OBAMA! Obama needs to take the cotton out of his ears and put it in his mouth!
Hello PUMAS, after several weeks trying to post here at least I dit it ,feeling so great
Good Evening everyone!
I just wanted to fill you in on a story that was featured at 6pm. The story was about a pledged delegate from KY getting ready to go to the convention in Denver. He is a strong supporter of Bill and Hillary Clinton. During the story it was said that he along with around two dozen additional delegates have filed a challenge with the DNC because the state of KY had made a mistake and had too many men delgates for Hillary. It was said that the replacement for a male Hillary delegate was a female Obama activist. This challenge was filed after this had happened. The reporter said that he tried to reach the KY chair pf the DNC and got no reply. The report also stated that a male delegate was being denied to go to Denver because he was openly gay. I then checked the webpage to see more of the story online and found nothing about this story. It was the first story of the broadcast. I emailed the station asking for the link, because I think that we should all see the corruption that is taking place at the DNC.
Thanks!

Rick Warren is definitely in McCain’s camp. And he made it perfectly clear that the Obama camp better lay off the insinuation that McCain cheated. He said, in fact, he gave Obama a question ahead of time that he did not have time to give to McCain on adoption.

Now, you have me crying. Yes; I heard HMc say something about I met with people and spoke in forums where people said I had no chance of earning votes. But I want to be the President of the whole country. (Remember that BO, with all his ‘money,’ never stepped foot in WV.
I also watched HRC speak at Tavis Smiley’s “State of the Black Union.” BO was otherwise occupied, offering to send his wife, instead. When Mr. Smiley said, ‘No, this is for the candidates,’ he was lambasted for not conceding she knew his stance on the issues as well as her husband. If you can watch that, do so. And bring the tissues.

537 michelle47 on 08.18.08 at 7:54 pm My letter,
I have read the book Obama Nation, I was pleased that the author had the audacity ( that the media seems to be lacking ) to delve into the life and affiliations of the presumptive nominee of the democratic party. What ever happened to good investigative journalism? The role of the media has shifted dramatically this political season and not for the better. I simply can not recall a time that one candidate has been so blatantly favored over another. Where is the vetting process in regards to Senator Obama? Where are the tough questions that every other candidate for president has to answer with openess and voracity? Where is the outrage when a presidential candidate sits in a church for twenty years, a church whose pastor ( and Obamas spiritual mentor ) spews vile anti-american sentiment? Where is the culpability for Senator Obama? Why should we be willing to accept a well crafted speech that addresses race relations as a way to divert our attention from the real issue? I ask you which is worse, being truthful about the reasons for your continued attendance and fellowship or the tossing aside of a twenty year relationship in the name of political expediency? Why should the majority of americans be kept in the dark about dodgy real estate deals, with nary a peep from the national media? Why the smoke and mirrors regarding his birth records, early family life and questions of his actual birth name? Should the voters, not the media be the judge of the information that one needs to make an informed decision, a decision that I and many others do not take lightly! You may be able to refute some of the information in Jerome Corsis book, but Senator Obama will never be able to dispute the fact that the american people are entitled to any and all information that they deem relevant in the choosing of the next President of the United States of America!
Sincerely,
xxxxxxx

Where did you hear this?
If they want a do-over choice, who do they have as an option? The lady that has been hog-tied under the bus?
These morons picked Obama a very long time ago, I told them to take me off of their emails that day and I would like to see them fall off the cliff with the flip-flop bus of pretenders. Off of the Mile-High cliff.
No poll at MoveOn link.
I was watching the news tonight and only caught part of it, does anyone here live in the tri state area of Oh,Ky, and WVA? It showed someone from the (I think) Ashland area that is going to the Convention and (I think) a delegate for Hillary. He is taking the rule book and is going to fight Ky appointing someone to take a Hillary delegate and replace with a XO delegate. GREAT interview, and if he isn’t,he needs to be a PUMA!
Just got home from work and the channel was on MSNBC. Olbermann was raving about something as usual. I can’t believe they keep that guy on. Is he on drugs or something? I didn’t catch the whole thing but it was his usual spitting delivery of unrelated facts taken out of context that are supposed to prove someone else is an idiot. He seemed to be implying that McCain knew the questions he was going to get in the religious debate that happened this weekend. Then he couldn’t help but get in a hit at Hillary’s “incompetent” campaign and her supporters that went something like “there were supposed to be 18 million of them and then somehow 2 million and then they couldn’t even get 250 at their conference” Clearly this twit has been drinking the BO koolaid for a long time but apparently he hasn’t realized that BO can’t win without the half of the party who prefer Hillary and the best way to keep them from voting for BO is to keep the BOites name calling and campaign of degradation of a hard working woman alive. I have to wonder what motivates him and why the ONC has not been able to reign in these foaming at the mouth haters? Are they unable to see that these types divide the party and make it impossible for moderates to vote for BO?

FYI, Harvard has a history of inflating grades. Look it up. We have several law schools in Massachusetts: NUSL (Northeastern); HLS (Harvard Law School); SU (Suffolk); NESL (New England School of Law); BU (Boston University); BC (Boston College); and SNESL (Southern New England School of Law). NUSL, my alma mater, is considered a blue-collar school. In other words, our students are broke. Unlike the case in more well-endowed schools, our students have to work while attending school; and we work when we graduate and study for the bar. Yet, the bar passage rate for NUSL graduates is second only to HLS.
This is one of the greatest political comedy videos I have ever seen.

Obama special on Fox – I’m not watching but judging by comments here, they are becoming fans. I commented earlier today that Neil Cavuto was slamming pumas. I think they don’t want to run against HRC so boosting BO.
On the question of supreme court judges” at the saddle back debate” Obama said he wouldn’t have picked Clarence Thomas because he didn’t have enough exper***** WOW he almost said experience. That single word would have destroyed his campaign. All of this is on fox…wow these guys don’t miss much

My letter to Senator Clinton…
Dear Senator Clinton,
This is to request that you please don’t tell your delegates to not vote for you and that you don’t release any delegates at anytime during the convention.
I first want to let you know how much I admire, trust and believe in what you stand for and am very humbled by your love and caring of Americans and our country.
I also KNOW that YOU are the best and only person to serve as the President of the United States of America. Your supporters have been working tirelessly to get this far, fighting everyday to get your name in nomination in Denver AND for you to accept the nomination when you get all the required votes. Not only do you DESERVE that nomination but we need you!
WE (meaning individuals, PUMAS and the millions of those in our coalitions) have been fighting for two years, along with you for you to win the democratic nomination We trusted you when you said you would never give up! We haven’t either. You and your family did not deserve what happened to you during the main primaries. But what you may not know is what your supporters have been subjected to in order to make sure you are treated fairly in Denver and to legitimately get your name in nomination and voted for in Denver. They have been harassed, shot at, cars and homes vandalized, lied to about questions on the nominating process and the location, date and time of the platform committee meeting and what your role would be at the convention, They have been physically attacked and their families have been threatened with their lives. Your delegates have been threatened if they vote for you. They were lied to about the voting process to keep them from casting their votes for you. Murphy, our fearless leader was accosted in a store with her three young children and all their lives were threatened. You would be so proud of Murphy. She is an amazing young woman who is so much like you — smart, articulate, 24 hour energy, a fighter for democracy and fairness in the party and elections. She truly seems like a younger you and by the way would be a great person to work with you on your General Election campaign.
As you know there is alot of anxiousness and fear about Senator Obama. There are questions regarding Obama’s citizenship and whether he meets the requirements to be President. There are so many scary things about him including his dirty and corrupt associations, his own questionable dealings, the fraud committed by his campaign during the primaries and caucases and so much more. This is not the type of person who I want running this country.
Senator Clinton, please do not allow these injustices and loss of democracy take over our country. The delegates are ready to vote for you. I truly believe the nomination could be yours. So many of your delegates have been afraid to speak up for fear of retaliation. Now, they are finally saying no more and they want to and will vote for you.
Once again, PLEASE don’t give up your delegates and win in Denver. I will not and most of us will NEVER vote for Senator Obama. I highly respect you but my vote is mine and for this one time I cannot vote for someone who is so weak, not trustworthy and definitely is not competent to run our country.
Please do NOT discourage your delegates from voting for you. They did their jobs and want to vote for the best candidate – you, and see you accept the nomination. I personally believe they should have the opportunity to see that happen.
I urge you to give it all you have and go for every vote possible in Denver.
So, let me leave you with this question:
Could you live with yourself knowing you were the one to stop this takeover of democracy but allowed it to happen anyway?
Sincerely,
Kim Casey

666 prowlland, I love the idea of a day to honor Native Americans and their cultures. It needs some org to take the leadership. Their must be a united tribes group or something. I think most people would support this, too bad their is not an option of a national peoples initiative. The idea might have to start state by state, Washington state is a good place to start because you could have a peoples initiative on the ballot here if you just turn in petitions with enough signatures.
Did anyone see the special on Fox about *61??
I misposted the time here in the west, unless they are doing it later as well. Check your station for Fox special tonight. Obama is so going to lose.

…but they talked about this on FOX and there’s a video on no quarter! I loved when he did that. On FOX, Charles Krauthammer – I love him, you should read his column – snickered BO couldn’t say Justice Thomas lacked the experience to sit on the high court without calling attention to his own lack of experience to be President.

Hang in there, Billie Jo. It’s really hard to cope with such high levels of intense emotions over such a long stretch and deal with the not knowing part of how it will all unfold. Step back and you’ll see it truly is a speck in time (like all of our lives) and just one aspect of the larger life that is yours.
From a full fledged, hard wired, been worrying since I was 4, anxiety-ridden puma trying very hard to stay grounded along with you!
————————
Thank you for that Anna, this is the most emotional election I have ever been apart of. I don’t think I have felt so deeply about a person I have only seen on tv since I heard Bobby was shot the night I first voted.
Hillary is my JFK.
PUMAs are my virtual support system for they share my beliefs more so then my life long friends.
Ok, so from what I just read by Murphy, the plans aren’t up yet? That’s fine, gives me time to get my prowl work done.
Loved reading everyones’ actions. Must get going on my own now.

That is one of the most dynamic suggestions I have heard. I don’t believe I have ever heard this suggestion before – you are terrific. This is one nation that “does” deserve a national holiday. If Tyson Chicken can give a holiday for islamists, then we must be way overdue in our own national justices. Thank you!!

I am so excited to see your new video but I am having a hard time getting it to play. I will keep trying!
Trish..WOW!!! Another fantastic one!!
Obama smears himself, every time he opens his mouth!
if we can get Hillary into nomination…and i do believe we did a lot of it … we can do this for the Native Americans !!
Go provided me with most of those images and the crime scene idea
yeahhhhhhhhhhh Goooooooooooooo
Just so you all know, I’ve been given a warning by youtube the video may get scrubbed, so if you want to see it, better watch it before the scrubbing begins
#689 BigCatLover
I had a different perspective on Obama. I think they
learned more than they expected but don’t know what to do with all the info. They started filling in some of his background and anyone his campaign should be getting nervous because people are now going to start asking alot of questions.
I think he is toast anyway. Wait til his numbers drop dramatically in the next week.
#653 goandersen- I know but I would like to email them as much as they did me…..they psd me off when they drank the koolaid. It’s fun to say I told you so!
#672 BillieJo- It was a post on RD’s site. I just reposted over here.
why would it get scrubbed?
bluegrasstrina
Is KY a pledged state? That is , do you have a law on the books requiring state delegates pledged to HRC to vote for her on at least the 1st roll call at the nominating convention? I planned to call them first thing in the morning but, if you know, I can get their letter to MarylandPUMA tonight.
#711 TrishfromCanada on 08.18.08 at 9:53 pm
Do you have the link for the video you’re referring to. I haven’t seen it yet and want to before it gets scrubbed in case they follow through with their warning. Please post it if you can.

Just thinking…
What if the delegates are not yet SAYING they’ll vote for Hillary, so they don’t have to put up with all the flack from the BO camp (or even worse get replaced as punishment for disloyalty to the chosen one) …. what if when it comes time to actually vote, they plan to vote for Hillary?
BO’s BC
vonay
I almost forgot. Now that the document has been debunked as a forgery, BO removed the ‘fake’ bc from his “Fight the Smears” web site, which bc he posted to respond to accusations he was not a natural born citizen. In the law, this kind of cover-up is prima facie evidence, you committed the crime.
congrats on the fundraising!!!!!

723 jbjd
theory of mine :
I think when he got his passport etc, he used the Birth Certificate that he had when he was born, before he was adopted which would have the name Barrak Hussein Obama..Remember,, he tells about finding it stuffed in the back of a book.
I think he lost that one,and couldn’t get one with the name Barrack Hussein Obama because the first one was sealed when he was adopted by his Moms husband Mr. Soetoro. (when your adopted the first one is sealed)..
And his name on his BC now would be Barry Soetoro…
so he had to forge the one he has now….because the BC on BOs fight the smear page is dated 2007.
So he had a BC at birth.(Barrak Hussein Obama)lost that one.Then he was adopted, that made number 2 with the name Barry Soetoro
……. That would leave him with a birth Certificate
with the wrong name.. Barry Soetoro !!! If my theory is true… I would love to have seen the panic that went on….

The link would be the Hannity and Combs transcript from tonight. Rick Warren is the one who said it. He said he was going to give both of them this question in advance, but McCain was not there before they went on air so he never had a chance to give it to McCain.

Hi Billiejo & Trish & all,
I have to go to a mtg now (sigh!), BBL & have fun…
Please, can someone from GA answer Missy’s question about what I have been up to?
Trish, I am sure you will do a fabulous job, I look forward to it!
Im not sure my lil videos are goin Trish they are no where near as incredible as yours!
You have a wonderful talent!
K…my plea to Senator Clinton:
Senator Clinton,
I would like to thank you for the untiring, unflappable and inspiring work you do and have done to bring much needed change to humanitarian issues; Women and Children Welfare, Healthcare for ALL and leading the way for America to be an upright country in the world.
I would like to make a request that you continue your determined efforts by holding onto your delegates until such time as voting is cast that clearly shows Senator Obama defeats you.
I am under the impression that the election was tampered with and while I understand your position as a career-long democrat in good standing, many of us life-long democrats have placed all our faith in you. We can not advocate a nominee who wins under suspicious circumstances. To site only one issue, it is, however, UNDOUBTABLY,the ONLY reason that PUMA exists. Had the media and DNC not perpetrated such horrendously skewed representations, America and Her democrats would be working to support the nominee. However, we can not go back, we can not say, what if?
Instead we are looking forward. It is with the future in mind that we respectfully request you, Senator Clinton, to remain steadfast in representing the millions of people who believe you are the right leader at the right time. We will be hoping, needless to say, that the majority of delegates will stand behind you. I don’t know what the consequences of said ‘over-throw’ of someone who is nothing other than a candidate at this point, would be, other than our best chance at winning the White House in November and getting America onto the road of recovery.
Thank you again, Senator, and I look forward to the convention with pride, as you and your family will set the bar.
Sincerely,
K. Caveny
Central Islip, NY
………………………………
Diva2 Your new perspective is one I tried out a couple of weeks ago. A PUMA was on blog lamenting the buy-offs, etc. I said, hey, maybe they took the money, but that doesn’t mean they HAVE to vote for him. I hope they sent the money to Senator Clinton and choose to vote for her. I realize this is a very ….slim hope, who has that kind of integrity? Well, but we are all here are we not? No one’s paying us, we’re giving all we can, because we love our country! I think it’s perfectly legit to presume that SOME of those who are invested with the responsibility of voting in the best interest of our whole nation, may concurr.
K, I see I’ve more work to do, so…here I go.

Hey I know for a fact how hard finding pics can be! You contribute asome great ones!
Still trying to catch up here after a long absence, but just wanted to say that the McCain camp has it right — calling Obama on the “race card” issue, and calling MSNBC on their obvious bias. Obama can’t use the same “race card” tactics with McCain as he did with Hillary now that someone had the good sense to call it as it is. It will be interesting to hear MSNBC’s response to Andrea Mitchell’s gaffe.
BTW, while talking about the “ahs” and “ums” of Obama…am I the only one that hears that whistle in his “s” words — drives me up the wall.
aww thats awesome Trish!! Im excited!! Now I am going to go look for some more great pics and do another one!!

INDEFENSIBLE!! I’m telling you Pumas, this born-alive protection act will be BO’s undoing. No one can figure out what BO could have been thinking. Alan Colmes (bless his heart) did his best, but even Pat Caddell (only Democrat on panel) was dumbstruck and said this will be a huge problem.
What it amounts to is BO voting for infanticide in the IL legislature. Even the staunchest pro-choicers will be horrified.

Hi all- just got home – apologize if this has been posted before – but from RRL -in N.Y.
I get ready to leave for vacation tomorrow, and sorry Anna7000, but MUST take my laptop with me. Author says she can live with Obama/Clinton ticket – What do you guys think?
ELECTABILITY WATCH (EW)
Rasmussen: Obama 44%, McCain 43%
Gallup: Obama 46%, McCain 43%
All,
Governor Rendell is once again setting the pace for Clinton supporters in Denver. He has announced that he will support her on the first ballot. I encourage everyone to bring this information to the attention of HRC delegates and to Super Delegates so that a) the 18 million HRC primary voters will be fully and freely represented at the roll call vote, and b) the SDs will weigh all the information, see that BO is not “sealing the deal”, and vote for Hillary as the electable Democrat to bring the Democrats back to the White House.
And there is new talk about a CLINTON-Obama ticket. Don’t love it but can certainly live with it.
It is better to have a Democrat sitting in the White House even if Mile High Stadium has to sit empty for an evening.
In the next few days, it is critical to encourage all Clinton delegates to vote for HRC on first ballot. We have lists by state with some contact information (see # 8 below). When you write anyone on this list, or any of the SDs, please use the EW protocol – be sure that all contacts are upbeat, positive, polite, encouraging and supportive.
The basic message to the HRC pledged delegates is that they have the honor of representing the voters of their Congressional District on the fist ballot, that this will be a historic recording of those preferences, and they personally have the awesome opportunity to support Senator Clinton. 18 million HRC primary voters are counting on them!
For the SDs: their only job is to select the electable Democrat, and she is HRC and that in doing so, they also have the opportunity to correct for the caucus fraud and deception which has distorted the delegate count in Obama’s favor.
1. Rendell: I’m Voting for Clinton at Denver Roll Call
http://thepage.time.com/2008/08/18/rendell-im-voting-for-clinton-at-denver-roll-call/
Please write or call to express your appreciation for his leadership:
Hon. Edward G Rendell 225 Main Capitol Building Harrisburg, PA 17120
W: 717-787-2500 F: 717-772-8284
2. CAUCUS FRAUD – a similar story over and over in different precincts and states: Jeff in Iowa
I live in Davenport, Iowa – Precinct 23. I was the Precinct Captain for Hillary Clinton and began my work for her in Sept. 2007. At that time, I met with the many folks in this precinct, every registered Democratic voter. During that time, I was most fortunate to gain supporters and lose a few . . .mainly to Sen. Edwards. I developed a Team Hillary in this precinct that went door to door from 12/3/07 to caucus night.
On caucus night, I was informed that I could not bring authorized Hillary stickers, food, etc into the site. I regrettably complied.
From 6-6:30 pm, it appeared as I had expected. Young, old, males, females, hispanics, whites, gay and lesbian friends arriving. Very heavily for Ms. Clinton, a fair amount for Edwards and some stragglers for Obama. During my walks thru the neighborhoods (a very densely populated precinct), I discovered that indeed this was the make-up of my precinct.
My mind began to feel victory for my lady. My hard work had paid off! I even overcame the fact that every volunteer at the entrance tables was wearing an Obama sticker. They had NO precinct captain and my friend, the Edwards captain and I were discussing the fact that Obama out of state staff had arrived to pass out stickers and signs to folks. Next, they began to sit at the entrance tables. Hmm. We were barred from doing that!
“Oh well”, we thought.
THEN: at 6:50 pm, over 75 people of African American descent came walking in, past the tables and sat in the Obama section. I knew one of them from my canvassing. I knew another one who did not live in this precinct! And aside from the 4 or 5 families that live on Hillandale Road, there are no other black people in this unusually white precinct. (And one of those black couples were in my Hillary section).
The results were Obama 3, Clinton, 2, Edwards 1! It was impossible for me to argue since the precinct chair was an Obama supporter from another precinct.
A very large bus was seen in the parking lot afterwards carrying these folks back.
That momentum gave Obama future victories and I am sure his mastery of the caucus cheat along with his October 2007 meetings with Karl Rove, taught him how to steal this nomination!
I think America is worth more than that which is why this lifelong Democrat and exuberant Hillary Clinton supporter will mark “MCCAIN” in november!
http://www.lynettelong.com/caucusfraud/
3. TO AVOID ACCUSATIONS OF THE WIDESPREAD SYSTEMATIC AND SYSTEMIC FRAUD OF THE CAUCUSES, please contact Phil McNamara, Director of Party Affairs and Delegate Selection and ask that the delegate voting process be fair, transparent and legitimate: http://www.demconvention.com/ask-phil
As the Denver Group points out, there is deep concern about “Trust. That is what the The Democratic Party must regain now. By using trained election observers to monitor its floor votes and the procedures leading up to these the Democratic Party might be able to undo the damage being done by people like Governor Richardson who make claims that suggest they will only “feel comfortable” with a roll call vote if they know its results in advance – which means they do not feel comfortable with a free and fair election at the Democratic Party’s nominating Convention.”

This chart is from fivethirtyeight.com, a (very pro-Obama) poll analysis site. The site now warns:
Although Barack Obama remains a slight favorite in this election, his position is more vulnerable than at any point since the primaries concluded, and he no longer appears to have a built-in strength in the electoral college that we had attributed to him before.

Gogandalf wants everyone aware of this: 1GYPSY – thank you for paying attention – figured I might get at least one persons interest – its from MissyD’s Post #655 = regarding a Kentucky Clinton delegate being replaced with an Obama delegate – she quoted that either because the male delegate was openly gay or because there were too many male delegates and not enough female delegates – email addresses to complain (I have already done so and two of my friends in Kentucky – ) jhorton@kydemocrat.com and info@kydemocrat.com – once again DNC tries to reign supreme – thanks again for noticing and really going to bed – don’t know how to make this post bold – be my guest if you know how
DRRT – Dem Rapid Response Team
If you say DRRT fast it sounds like Dirt lol
I am not sure that this is helpful at all, but in doing some reading I see that Hillary won New Hampshire and that they are listed as bound on the link I put up.
So I looked a little further and found this:
The New Hampshire presidential primary election is a “binding” primary. Accordingly,
delegate positions shall be allocated so as to fairly reflect the expressed presidential
(or uncommitted) preference of the primary voters in each district.
Should we be sending delegate letters to them to encourage them to vote fairly?

It’s at the bottom.
gypsy and GoGandolf,
I’m going to look it up tomorrow, my brain is fried right now
#779 Gogandalf,
I posted that the other day and we did a prowl on it.
Thanks
Missy,
JBJD is putting together letters to send to state officials that have bound pledged delegates. In such a state, it is against the state’s law to change their roll call vote from one (HRC) nominee to another (BO) nominee. Those delegates assigned by numbers of votes recieved, by district, in the primary are not to be changed. Bo’s camp has been sending communications to delegates suggesting they do just that.
proud to be a part of this group.. fantastic work there..jbjd! A salute from me on all the work you do!
#812 1gypsy4mc,
Ijust sent two more letters on this. Even tho’ I did
it the other day also.
I’ve been so mad over this. It is an outrage!
The DNC has turned into the KGB.
#819 goandersen
ok sent her a comment so she can e-mail me
K, actions done!
Sun-Thursday, right? It’s been difficult as all the planning was going on over the past few weeks, when I wasn’t thinking of going, but then the generous and ever brave hearts here just inspired me. So being late to the game it’s been hard for me to get information. I hope I got the dates right.
Just an update, for those who were interested in my on-going saga: I booked a room for Denver!
Also, I’ve found a PUMA in NJ to travel with, so that’s TWO MORE PUMA’s to represent and work in Denver!
Can’t wait to find out what we’ll be doing…also need a list of things to bring, etc. But…yeah, I did it. Can’t believe it.
I need to thank everyone who encouraged me and gave me help with links and stuff. Thanks to EVERYONE for their patience, as I realize I was a bit crazy the day I decided to go, lol.
Special thanks to Toni, from out here on Long Island, for her extra attention and contributions. Huge thanks to my nightly chat buddy PA Dem! I’d never have got this done without you Lea, you know I’ll carry your spirit and good will with me each step.
So. Yeah I’ma travel 1,600 miles…put me to work!
Well, okay – not suggesting they do just that, more like telling them they really should
Candidate’s wife to lead off Dem convention speakers
The Democratic National Convention Committee and the Obama for America Campaign has just announced that the presumptive nominee’s wife, Michelle Obama, will be the top prime time speaker the opening night of the convention, Aug. 25, and Hillary Clinton be the prime time speaker on the second night of the convention, Tuesday, Aug. 26.
A list of the headline speakers for the 2008 Convention was released by the committee this afternoon.
http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/aug/10/candidates-wife-lead-dem-convention-speakers/
I’m counting on there being some stealth delegates in Denver, who are laying low and biding their time until it’s time to vote, and then they will pounce….to Hillary.
I simply must have faith that this country is about to have one grand “AHA” moment where they’ll awake from the BO slumber, and we will turn this ship around with Hillary at the helm.
How could it be any other way????
Thank you, Murphy!!!!!!!!!! You started a movement. You corralled the energy. You took the spark, the injustice, and FOLLOWED THROUGH. That, my dear, is EVERYTHING.

Fax Numbers for State DNC Headquarters
Dear Pumas,
I’ve been away from the blog for most of the day and won’t be here much the next two days. But I’m going to make it up to everyone with fax numbers for each of the state DNC headquarters. I copied this from the DNC’s main web site, so the numbers should be good.
I’m going to start faxing copies of my letter to Hillary in which I asked her not to release her delegates and told her there’s no way I will ever vote for Obama.
This might make a good prowl … flood each state DNC headquarters office with letters saying “No we won’t.” If the idea appeals to you, go forth and enjoy the list below … ♥

Great work!
Dear PUMA, I have missed you. For health reasons and work and vacation energy expenditure, I have not been as active here as I would like. It is only acute health reason that are keeping me from Denver, and as much as possible I will be plugged in and praying for your safety, well being, and political action. You who are able to go are standing for those of us who cannot, due to health, financial, family and work commitments. Your duty is to exercise the right of free expression, and you will be an example for the young activists who think we are their enemy, that these are people who have decided to stand for a cause greater than themselves, this is not just words.
God and Mary Keep You Dear PUMA!!!

#861 goanderson
Yikes, and OOPS! Only address I had! Do you have a better one?
Billie Jo – I wouldn’t NOT send correspondence pertaining to this primary to her senate office. I think Sunny PA posted a link to a site with a web form that you can send an e-mail (around #14 or #17 in this thread) and/or go to her campaign web site, now called Friends of Hillary and click on “contact us” for a web form. To cover all my bases I use both web forms AND send a snail mail to the Virginia address on the contact us page.
Firebelle – Thanks for posting all the contact info. Since it’s late, especially on the east coast, and likely near the end of this thread, you may want to repost tomorrow and/or give Murphy and Maryland a heads up as to the number of your post in case they want to organize a prowl. Though, I’m not entirely sure what kind of power or influence state offices have, but it can’t hurt to contact them.
Good night all.

#866 Anna
You are right
I think a week ago we were told not to send to Senate office. Anything to do with election was to go to her campaign office.
You know ox would not have allowed the nomination if he hadn’t already gotten himself enough stolen delegates and i heard that only half of fla and mich delegates are allowed to vote…..i will confirm that and see if its true.does anyone from fla know?
Trish you make such great videos. May I make a suggestion since I have NO idea how to do it? How about putting together a video of PUMAs who have either worked on Hillary’s campaign or any pic of any of them who would like to send in pics to you? I think it would be neat to have faces of PUMAs who have dedicated themselves to this important cause. What do you think? You could mix the PUMA pics in with Hillary pics. I know we have men PUMAs but the Helen Reddy song, “I am Woman” has a lot of meaning that would work really nice with it. Let me know what you think, I have a few pics I would love to send.
Guessing game? Who are the following people?
Amabo Kearab
Notnilc Yrallih
All this VP talk stresses me out. I think HRC is too smart to be on a ticket with BO. He is going to be a liability.
The Lingering What-If Question: Clinton?
As for Mrs. Clinton, she is increasingly looking at the advantages of staying off the ticket, whether to run again in four or eight years or to capitalize on her presidential run to become an enduring national voice for women and working-class Americans.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/19/us/politics/19clinton.html
It would also be a perfect way for all PUMAs to be at the convention, since they will be playing the videos there on a screen.

You’re too smart! Congratulations.
I sent my letters to delegates….
Dear Delegates,
I went through seven plant closings and always understood the importance of Experienced Required.
My family and I have endured many hardships during the course of our lives. I remember the pressure caused by several plant closings, downsizings, and relocations. We survived. I constantly educated myself in order to be better prepared for what the future had to offer. And through those years, I remember always having to prove myself, going through exhausting interviews, trying to sell myself, explaining why I was the best candidate for a job. I did this by describing my past accomplishments, how I achieved them, and how these experiences will be beneficial to these prospective employers. This practice has taught me how important it is to communicate effectively. All I had hoped for was that there was someone, willing to listen, someone eager to invest time in me and do a little research in me. As the HR Managers/Voters of America, we need to do the same….to seriously invest time in deciding who will fill the most important job in the world.
AMERICA WILL WIN when our vote is based on candidate’s QUALIFICATIONS.
AMERICA WILL WIN when our vote is based on candidates past LEADERSHIP SKILLS.
AMERICA WILL WIN when our vote is based on candidate’s ACCOMPLISHMENT AND ACHIEVEMENTS.
AMERICA WILL WIN when Americans will no longer suffer due to inexperience and mismanagement.
AMERICA WILL WIN when confidence in leadership is restored to the people of the United States.
AMERICA WILL WIN when we restore confidence in leadership around the world.
AMERICA WILL WIN when Hillary R. Clinton becomes our President of the United States.
They say, the poof is in the pudding, Hillary is A FIGHTER IN HER CAMPAIGN and I know SHE WILL FIGHT FOR US as OUR PRESIDENT.
I expect Hillary Clinton not only to begin work day one, but I expect her to PERFORM DAY ONE!
I do believe Hillary is the TRUE CANDIDATE that will lead this country in the right direction.
Thanks……for listening
Obama …BOO
Hillary..Yea

Has obama announced?
trish–really beautiful video. I must be the biggest cry baby in the world but just start the music and I need my tissues.
NOVEEP…..I tremble at the thought.
I feel slightly positive–and I am praying.
If she stands up for it, she will win the nomination. This I have known in my heart for months. She will win if she stands up. I pray for her to stand up.
News has been very good in last 4 days. Mostly DOWn on BO and UP on Hillary and McCain. I think many think like PUMA’s but are too scared to come over OR their egos won’t allow them to admit they got hoodwinked. I am praying for them too.
Murphy and everyone at the helm, as always you are in my thoughts and prayers. I was at a dinner party tonight and brought up PUMA (my father was not happy–never to mix business and politics but WTF is my new opinion) and NOT one at the table was voting for BO. In fact, everyone except one old fart said they would have voted for Hillary and are now DEFINITELY voting McCain (the old fart said only vote for McCain). I think many Americans are seeing the light and I am praying for more and more…
But mostly I am praying that HIllary will be our president this year….

PA Guy great letter!
UNBELIEVABLE
Have any of you wondered why SuperDelegate Robert Byrd WV came out and endorsed BO after Hillary won his State by 41 points??????
Just read this in last chapter of Fredosso’s book:
“On March 29, 2005, the newly elected Senator Obama sent out a fundraising email through MoveOn.org on behalf of his friend and mentor, Robert Byrd of WV. Within 24 hours, more than 15,000 donors had contributed a total of $634,000 to the aging Democrat.”
This just has to be added to our corruption list. I am flabbergasted!!!
I see the night shift has come on. Or should I say the people out west?
Good night to those leaving and welcome to those coming.
O.K., O.K.
Thought I’d try!
Obama has announced all kinds of thing. Were you looking for something in particular? lol

Thought this article was worth reposting from Columbus Dispatch this morning. Another VP allusion…
Oh no- don’t want her to be VP. This will not unite the party…what are they thinking?
From our paper this morning…The Columbus Dispatch
VIEWS OF OHIO DELEGATES
Unified party? Clinton as VP might do it
By Jack Torry
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
WASHINGTON — To the disappointed Ohio delegates pledged to Democrat Hillary Clinton, the decision by Barack Obama to allow a vote on her nomination at the party’s nation al convention next week in Denver is a good start.
But those interviewed by The Dispatch in the past few days say if Obama really wants to unify the party and win the key states of Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania, he should do what most concede he won’t: choose Clinton as his vice presidential running mate.
“It’s hard for me to understand why Obama would fear that,” said Billie Brandon, 59, a Clinton delegate from Mansfield. “Why not take advantage of her knowledge and experience?” Terry Carson, 57, a Clinton delegate from Bainbridge Township in Geauga County, said Obama “would have a much easier time capturing the presidency if he had Hillary Clinton
on the ticket. Her supporters would re-energize his campaign. It would be a pretty dramatic team.”
But with Clinton delegates acknowledging that Obama almost certainly will choose another Democrat, they head to the Democratic National Convention ready to switch their allegiance to Obama — some with enthusiasm, others with reluctance. And at least one who is not ready to back Obama.
“I don’t like Obama, to tell you the truth,” said Sandra Cleary, 58, a delegate from Wooster. “He doesn’t have any experience, and I just don’t think he knows what he’s doing. I don’t like the way she was treated, and I don’t like the way Bill Clinton was treated. They tried to make him out as a racist, and he’s not like that.”
But most of the Clinton delegates are ready to line up behind Obama.
Melanie Falls, 57, from Walton Hills in suburban Cleveland, admits Clinton’s defeat “was disappointing to all of us who supported her. However, I think we must have a unified party in order to take back the White House.”
Erin Sullivan Lally, 42, from Cleveland, acknowledged she has doubts about Obama, saying she has “strong feelings about his experience and his ability to win in November.” But she said he “can count on my vote.”
By contrast, Caroline Gross, 30, of Columbus, has had no difficulty making the move to back Obama. She said “they were both really great candidates. It wasn’t a huge disappointment to transfer my loyalties from Clinton to Obama.”
Obama and Clinton announced Thursday that her name will be placed in nomination during the convention. That will allow her delegates to call out her name in a symbolic gesture, even though Obama still will have enough delegates for the nomination.
“I think this is going to go a long way to clean up the ill will some of the delegates are feeling,’” said Kevin Malecek, 28, a Willoughby Hills city councilman.
Sandra Anderson, 57, a lawyer from Dublin, said that “placing her name in nomination is a terrific decision, and it will help those of us who worked their hearts out for Hillary Clinton to at least have that historic moment recognized.”
Peggy Tanksley, 51, from New Philadelphia, said that after a roll-call vote, “everyone can walk out of the hall and say it’s done and let’s get the work done.”
Ruby Gilliam, 85, from Minerva in northeast Ohio, predicted that the emotion of the Clinton delegates will sweep the convention hall during the roll-call vote, predicting that if Obama hasn’t already picked his vice presidential candidate, “I think Hillary will be his running mate.”
Even that symbolic move may not be enough. Brandon warned that if Democrats “don’t work this out, it will hurt us in the fall.” She pointed to a close Democratic friend of hers who has said she will not back Obama.
“Unless they can figure out a way to pull that together, I am worried about Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Florida.”
Others sound an even more pessimistic note. Tanksley, who works for the Ohio Civil Service Employees Association, acknowledged that “it will be a tough sell” for Obama in Ohio. “We might just pull it off. I think with enough work we can do it.”
But then she added, “I wouldn’t put my paycheck on it right now.”

Many Hillary Clinton supporters are worried that Obama can’t win key states without her.

MAYBE I SHOULD JUST LURK SINCE I AM HAVING SO MUCH TROUBLE POSTING…
#930 1of18
Your suggestions are great for us “who are left behind.” I love the candle lighting. I remember the time on Hillary’s sight when we had over 2000 candles lit for her from all over the world. It was absolutely fantastic. Just send a message on the blog every day during the convention, several times a day for people to go to HRC on the candle site. See if we can break a record during the convention for candles lit. Was it Normita that started it on HRC’s site?
What’s happening 007…Does it say you are too fast?
Thanks Halligan…. 3000 bucks…not sure why but i will take it!!!
#960 007girl
I always copy my post before I send just incase I can’t get through. It takes only a second to highlight, copy, and repost.
Good review of Saddleback on Fox now.
#959 Rancho
Ah! Good thought.
Yes Rancho….and i am just getting booted out altogether!!! MAYBE I AM GETTING THE PUMA BOOT!!!
Halligan.. . I’m a teacher . . cheaters NEVER prosper!
#902 doria on 08.19.08 at 12:05 am
That’s absolutely disjustingly amazing! I always wondered what possessed Byrd to support Obama….Just didn’t make sense to me. You just answered my question! I’m stunned…..Thank you so much for posting that!
007
NEVER PUMA FRIEND ! Persistence ALWAYS pays off!
Looks like you are are quicker, now! SEE!
I am going , too..hope everyone has a good night and hope to see you tomorrow! keep the faith.
Thanks Halligan, but when i try that i end up paste-ing something else….hard to explain
#967 007girl
I’m sure you aren’t getting booted by us purposely. The site has had alot of issues ever since they upgraded… whatever the heck they upgraded a few weeks ago. We’ve been having issues ever since. It’s most CERTAINLY NOT because we don’t want you here! *PUMA HUGS!*
Here’s some late night reading from the Denver Post: (and this is my third time posting this info)
I-25 closure for Obama a necessary inconvenience?
by denverpost.com on August 15, 2008
What do you think of the plan to close a 5-mile stretch of I-25 during rush hour on a Thursday for Barack Obama’s Invesco Field speech?
7 Comments »
While it may be “necessary” – it certainly displays the arrogance of politicians where they feel it is fine to disrupt the lives of tens of thousands of people that live and work in Denver every day so they can have a party.
Shutting down I-25 at the height of rush hour is insane.
I have yet to hear a single DNC organizer make any comment saying they are remotely apologetic for what they are putting the residents of Denver through.
Comment by Hooptie — August 15, 2008 @ 3:23 pm
This is OUTRAGEOUS. It is NOT necessary, it is just one more example of the arrogance of the ruling class. If I was Obama I would seek to overturn this decision. The DNC is an unmitigated disaster for 99% of Denver residents.
Comment by Michael Casteel — August 16, 2008 @ 2:04 pm
what a joke…politicians act like theyre royalty…its gonna cost denver tax payers 100 000’s of thousands dollars of their money,what can be used on more hot things…let them have it in the middle of desert for their own money…this is what democrats call their own version of democracy-communismus…did they ask us to have it there,anybody voted on it??????this is one of their many stunts democrats have for you as a surprise!!!!!!!! just like their queen Nancy Pelosi,not voting for oil drilling,cause she has tons of money invested in wind turbines!!!!!!!! Be aware to vote for them,cause you will pay a huge price for it!!!!!! god save America…
Comment by joe derek — August 16, 2008 @ 2:57 pm
They will do the same thing when McCain hits the RNC. They do it everytime any dignatary comes through.. Why blame the DNC?
Comment by KL — August 16, 2008 @ 8:07 pm
Closing I-25 in the middle of rush hour. This, from the very same folks whom accuse Bush of overstating the terrorist threat? Will the national or statewide threat color coded warning condition change for this safety event, or no?
Comment by Jim in Littleton — August 17, 2008 @ 11:08 am
People of Denver, thank you for your hospitality. I hope you make a lot of money off the Democratic Convention. I hope the media showcase Denver as a fabulous place to visit and have meetings. Commuters, sorry for the inconvenience…it is certainly better than a J F K or M L K incident. Again, thanks.
Comment by awakenedcitizan — August 17, 2008 @ 6:49 pm
While I highly doubt the DNC had any choice in the matter I do feel it’s unnecessary, especially for 5 miles… a mile perhaps, but 5?
Not sure why anyone is complaining however, the DNC coming is GREAT news for Denver & Colorado since all the exposure and money that will pour into the city because of this once in a lifetime event.
This is probably the biggest, positive event to ever occur in our state, so let’s all have a great time despite the extra security our uneducated “nutcases” have caused.
Comment by Ted Landry — August 18, 2008 @ 11:16 am
Night sunshinelvr! Sweet dreams!
Thank you Inu….. I am careful what i post here because i would never want to really get the boot!!!
Rancho
I’m a retired teacher.
Night PUMA friends. I’m off to make some sugar cookies for the gkids and then watch the late night news. Keep the peace!
#902 Doria
Yes, Byrd’s endorsement of Obama at first shocked and stunned me since, if memory serves correctly, he endorsed the day after her WV primary victory. Since then it has ticked me off big time!
The whole system is corrupt. About the only good thing that has come from this primary is the PUMA movement that is exposing the corruption.
Halligan
AW! Do you think of US every Sept.? Do you still buy “back to school” clothes in August? Do you wake up in the middle of the night with “back to school”dreams . . you aren’t ready for the day and the children are all looking at you!
Night Halligan
halligan
whatever became of those puma wine labels?
Nite Halligan!
I barely finished scanning all the posts.
I don’t think we need to worry about Hillary getting picked as VP. One BO isn’t that smart. Two she makes him look pathetic and he will pick someone who doesn’t steal HIS spotlight. And three she is smart and I don’t see Hillary devoting any part of her life to his ego trip, she already has a great job where she can make a difference for people she doesn’t need a ceremonial job where she can’t make a difference but gets to take all the blame.
I also don’t get having Michelle give the first big speech of the convention. I don’t like or dislike her. But he is a stepford candidate and what ever picked him thought his stepford wife would appeal to women because of her education and tall thin body for fashion and children. All the things men thought would appeal to women which real women don’t care about because women do not vote for the candidates wife.
I hope we get a chance to buy signs for Denver again because if I get this right the signs have peoples names on them representing PUMAs who couldn’t be there. So I think I want one for me and my Mom (who died June 3rd which I think is the day PUMA PAC was born). She was very politically active up till she passed and I think she and Wizard are still working for this from the other side.
Well good night everyone I know it is only 9:50 but I’m tired.
doria 902
Thanks for the info about BO “buying” WV’s Robert Byrd’s endorsement.
It’s just like him, though. Don’t know if you saw the blog entry and video (a while back) about BO “buying” superdelegates during the Primaries. This guy thinks that with money he can buy our votes too.
Halligan,
Can you pass me one of those cookies?
lol
Kaine and Romney are still my predictios for VPs.
Remember, you either heard it first OR I told you so from maxgrader.
#984 Seattle girl
The LA moderator at my Sun. Night PUMA meeting described the signs . .They roll up, and don’t have any metal so can pass through detectors. My name went on one because I made a donation. Notify?ask Southwest coordinator about this?
caracal carrie
Since you had the time to write at least 3 comments than, I had better take the time out to respond.
I am all over KY – I have the law but this letter is unique since the club actually replaced a delegate pledged to HRC with one pledged to BO, ostensibly to satisfy an affirmative action requirement in either DNC or state rules – and NH. CA, GA, IN, and OR are done. When you wake up, look for the posting.
Hey all. I’ve been keeping up with the growls, but haven’t blogged in forever. Having major construction on the house and too many balls in the air. Anyhow I won’t be going to Denver but I will be there as I know many others will be in spirit. I still wear my Hillary pin everyday and can’t believe the number of people who really don’t understand how the convention works. I keep explaining to people that BO is the presemptive nominee not the actual nominee. FDR was counted out and there was an upset at the convention. We can only hope and pray. Everyday I see BO look more and more like George Bush…naive, young, inexperienced, idealistic, etc, etc, Really scary. We can only hope that Hillary will NOT release her delegates. So keep up the good work.
Hi maxgrader,
I think it’s going to be Mitt Romney.
btw, did you notice I posted about your post earlier? I thought that link to that group “New Agenda” was great.
Missy I agree that PUMA is the one good thing to come from this primary season. Maybe after the election PUMA will stick together to be a voice for women and of course men too but women’s issues really have not had anyone who speaks to them because the women who think they are feminists are so out of touch with real women.
Maxgrader . . What abt. Leiberman? No chance?
As a previous Dem., could attract more undecideds?
Hi 007girl, Rancho, Dances, everyone, how is everyone doing tonight?
#976 007girl
No worries. I’m the same way. I don’t want to offend anyone, especially those I consider friends. Don’t worry though, you haven’t done anything to warrant getting booted.
The best thing to do with regards to not being able to post is exactly what halligan suggested. Especially if it’s a long post. (Or, if you prefer, you can write out your post on a word processing program like Wordpad and then copy and paste it from there. It’s a little more lengthy step wise but it works. Just remember the best thing to do is highlight every bit of the text and either right click it and select copy, or press Control C a bunch of times (If you’re on a Windows based computer. If you’re on a Mac I’m afraid I’m quite illiterate. 
) That should ensure it’s copied. Then if you have an issue, control V or right click and select paste will bring it to the Window) I hope that helps some!
Hi hillstheone! Welcome home.
Hannity on Fox . .McCain to announce running mate on Aug. 29
Maxgrader,
I agree with you !!!
In Dayton, Ohio (McCain)
Obama could announce as early as Wed. (Fox)
TOPIC: US WORLD site
Did anyone post on that US World & News site, the column by Bonnie? I was just over there & posted, and I saw several that definitely looked like comments a PUMA would make. (I liked one that ended with “I think all of the (bots) need a NAP), ha,ha!
Anyway it is a good place to blog if you have not already done so.
I’m a big believer in PUMA love helping our movement get good coverage in Denver…
#997 Rancho
I’m betting it’s Mitt Romney (And I’m also betting I butchered the spelling of his name…)
Hi InuHanYou,
Your name always reminds me of Hawaii for some reason!
How are you doing tonight?
Hi, Hills . . multitasking
Fox, blog, classroom prep. I can handle it all at 10:00 if I keep comments simple
#1002 hillstheone
Doing very well thank you for asking! It’s been a long few weeks. It’s been nice to unwind when I can.
Hellooooo hills,
Inu, Thanks i will try that!!!
Now about me getting the PUMA BOOT…I was Baracking you guys…. i am getting booted by my end, not Pumas fault!!!
#1003 Rancho
Wow. More power to you.
I have never been good at multitasking.
welcome nightsky.. glad you posted. just jump in. not being ignored, just moves fast and faster during day
by the time you post the blog has added MANY comments in between!
Carol Doda?? Damn, someone is as old as me….
LMAO@ ‘Botard’
INU . . That’s what Hannity thinks too!
I have a lot of Repub.friends that want Romney because they don’t like McCain, and Democratic friends that don’t want to vote Republican, but would consider it if Leiberman ran on the ticket.
Leiberman WOULD be a bold, unifying move.
Isn’t ‘barack’ the noise people make when they upchuck?
rancho…mcc our girl 2012???
#1009 Rancho
From what I’ve seen and what my mom has told me (She’s my main source of news political or otherwise now since I’m still furious with the MSM), McCain is pretty weak on his economical plan and Mitt Romney would help with that big time. I don’t know much about Leiberman though to be honest.
Anna7000
Answering your posts, waaay above, on what we should do w/the remaining time left before convention.
I say, PUMA Love Prowls to _anybody_ in mainstream media or alternate media who you think “GETS” the PUMA movement. An NPR person here, a Lou Dobbs type there, a Bonnie online at US News & World Report, whoever you think needs some PUMA love.
I think this might really boost our chances of getting fair media coverage during the Convention. Which we really need, folks!
C’mon, give it up for PUMA love this week…if you can’t think of anybody, just send another Thank You card to Ferrarro, or send something to Abrahams at ABC!
Comments, please.
Lieberman might solidify the Jewish vote, also
INU . . as the night progresses, I might start to try to add blog comments to my lesson plans, and start writing my lesson plans in this little blue square . . . YEEE!
mountainsong, LOL…
PUMA needs to stick around regardless and get this mess of a party changed!!!!
I think Glenn Beck kinda ‘gets it’. Even tho he’s Repub.
007
You’re very welcome. I hope that helps some. I know the frustration of typing out a long post only to get an error and having to retype it all. Not fun at all.
Rancho
Yikes.
Good luck with that. 
I’m sure it would be an interesting read for us anyway! 
Rancho,
What’s FOX up to tonight?
My friend’s gdaughter has to read bummer book and write analysis on it. Now is that pushing a little too hard???
MountainSong,
You could send Beck a Thank-You email!
INU . .I’ve heard the same but not from my mother. She LOVES OBAMA! Can’t believe I’m acting like a REPUBLICAN! (SO PRO PARTY)
I THINK IT DEPENDS ON THE ISSUES/CONCERNS:
*ECONOMY-ROMNEY
*WAR ON TERROR-PERHAPS LEIBERMAN (HE’S SUPPORTIVE OF MCCAIN’S STANCE)
God, I gotta see a shrink. I got it bad….everytime I think of MO doing the speech on opening night, it feels like Mt St Helen’s in my head. I just despise her. She’s everything in a woman I’d rather die than be.
ELY,
Your “botox” comment was hysterical!
1023 Rancho~~~ I have (had) friends who say I’m sounding like a Repub. and they can’t understand why I’m so dead-set against Obama. After all, he’s such a wonderful guy….. about a dozen of them wont even speak to me anymore. I wonder if it’s cuz I told THEM I think they are brainwashed or on LSD.
HILLS . . HANNITY JUST WENT OFF!
FOX PREVIOUSLY DID A SHOW ON OBAMA. (MCCAIN TOMORROW) WHAT DID EVERYONE ELSE THINGK OF THIS SPECIAL. I CAME IN AT THE END. SEEMED TO BE PRETTY GOOD.
HANNITY just announced when McCain would choose VP
See #997, 999
MountainSong,
Your posts are killing me tonight, in a good way, LOL (Michelle comment). You should hear what my 17-year old says about her! “She’s a (blank) and she’s proud of it”, too funny.
MLK had a dream and I got a nightmare!!!! Goin to bed anyway.
Mountainsong!
I can relate . . after May 31 (RBC meeting, I call my “political activism” BIRTHday . . before PUMA, even, I was so disgusted with the party I told a fellow teacher I wasn’t voting Obama . . I was called a racist Republican!
Hills,
Puma love to the MSM??…uhhh very hard for me considering i usually write not sooo nicey things to them!!!
But i mean uhhh ummm ahhh i will!!!
If anybody ever gets board on this site, you should go back & re-read all the posts on Saturday night. That night goes down in PUMA history as being one of our most exciting / entertaining nights! Wow I could not believe how many pearls of wisdom were dropped here and there like so much cocktail banter…
See what happens when you mix a worthy fundraiser with a bunch of smart voters, a live Televised debate and drinks all around, lol…
hillstheone~~~Your 17 yr old has more sense than alot of my friends!!~! MO is going to be the first SKANK to do the Dem Convention opening night! I hope their daughters take after their Grandma.
Mountainsong….lol
007girl,
I know, it’s hard. Didn’t someone say Lou Dobbs was unbiased? Was that Murphy?
At least NPR interviewed her & didn’t do a hatchet job…that was pretty good considering they are all obototized over there…
948 Rancho on 08.19.08 at 12:24 am O’Reilly on Fox just said VP choice recommended by MICHELLE, Kaine, or Sebilius (SP.) Said it could happen any day.
************
If BO picks Sebilius, he will lose even more Hillary supporters.
I miss-spelled “bored” “Board” – haha! That’s cause I was at a Board meeting tonight, LOL…
hillstheone: No i didn’t notice. what number was that?
Rancho: If only there were more Independents than Republicans I think he’d be a fine chose. I love Liberman. His moxie is to vote. No, it’ll be Romney and his sense of God and family– solid and safe. Religious values trumps change without them everytime. He’s good for Michigan and a good business man.
Hey Murphy… please close this long thread. My computer slows up dramatically when trying to post after 1,000 posts.
Take it upstairs
Hills,
Regarding Saturday night you are speaking about…i had so much more i posted but i was getting error pages and started to give up!!! I was really going to go on and on!!
#1036
That’s exactly what Fox said. . “Clinton supporters would be furious!” She couldn’t hold a candle to Hillary, and it would be a”token”offering for the female vote.
1030 Rancho~~that’s gotta be better than a racist Democrat. LOL
Rancho: those teachers are opinionated! As a group I do believe our schoolteachers are very smart when it comes to politics.
We saw several of my daughter’s high school teachers in the audience at the rally when Hillary was here.
Maybe McC will pick Rudy G.
007girl,
I’ve never gotten error pages…you mean the ones that say you’re posting too fast?
One thing I _do_ notice, those “posting too fast” comments come up more often when the site has high traffic.
I think Murphy went to bed, so I think I will also. I was trying to stick around for the new thread. I am getting anxious to hear all about the trip plans, etc.
#1038 maxgrader
I don’t know that Murphy is still up. Ususally she’s “in bed” by now. (Well… she says she is anyway. We all KNOW she stays up hours late just to see what we’re doing.
)
Leak on cnn.com about Obama’s mate?!?! Evan Bayh?
http://www.hellnobama.com
has a screenshot??
I#1041 I just think it’s so sad when people just throw out labels. I have to tell MANY of my Democrat friends, “I’m not voting party,I’m voting character, and country!”
I have to say that as there are Democrats that I could not support, there HAS TO BE SOME Republicans, that I could!
Labels don’t always show/define the true character of a person.
BO is trying to figure out how he can pick MO so he can have peace in da house..
McCain will not pick anyone who is not pro life. He made that pretty clear on Sat night. That leaves out Ridge, and numerous others.
#1044 hillstheone
It’s not just the “posting too fast” error. Sometimes when you hit submit it brings up a HTTP 500 error or something like that. It’s basically telling us that something’s wrong with the site. It’s not our internet, it’s the site. It started doing that after they upgraded a server or something…
maxgrader: it was post #752
#1049 MountainSong
Mountain Song . . She definitely carries a lot of POWER in the house. Remember her comment regarding a vote for Hillary . . Why vote for her(Hillary) to run the White House when she can’t even run her own house! (To summarize to the best of my recollection!)
1051 InuHanyou1701 – I have noticed that I get that error msg when several people are posting at the same time. I think the server can only handle so many same time posts.
InuHanyou1701 ~~~Means it’s posting someone else’s message or messages.
TennesseePuma, I may be wrong but the letters you sent to the editors was on a form constructed and distributed by the DNC. The DNC is trying to squelch the OBAMA NATION book. They sent that form out to Obama supporters to try and limit the sale and exposure of the bookby sending letters to newspapers trying to debunk and/or discredit the book. There is so much going on with Puma right now, that this was not highlighted as much as it would have been ordinarily. Our prowl was to do the opposite and praise the book. I personally found the action by the DNC with regard to this book very, very disturbing.So, the DNC is willing to infringe on the First Amendment to protect their boy, but they did NOTHING to stop unfair and untrue attacks on Senator Clinton – many of which had nothing to do with her position on the state of affairs of the nation or on her campaign. Utterly shocking.
Hills,
I get posting too fast and error page!!! drives me crazy!!
Lieberman: his moxie is to vote for.
There… that makes better sense. Forgot the word “for” in my #1038 post.
1044 posts now. Man, that’s a lot.
If I don’t here from Murphy within the next ten minutes then I’m going back to the cave and nap the night away.
See you upstairs. If not then goodnight.
#1056 MountainSong
Oh! I get it now.
That makes sense thank you. (And to middle age female as well as you posted about it as well!)
Hi Inu,
Have not had that happen yet, fortunately.
So did everyone just about puke / die laughing (take your pic) at CNN today when they kept crying like big babies over Obama’s performance Sat nite? Trying to insinuate McCain cheated & listened to the questions?
WOW. In the first place, any of us on this site alone, who are not even politicians, would be smart enough to predict most all of those questions ahead of time.
For crying out loud, you’d be applying for the highest job in the country, you damn well better be able to anticipate the questions and articulate your answers.
geesh, people, I hope when Hillary gets nominated CNN shows up as her new “BFF,” LOL!!! And they say they are not sexist…
PUMAs I’m going to be slower in response. I have a friend over and we’re going to play some games for a while so if I don’t respond to you quickly please forgive me and bear with me (Or is it bare?). I’m not ignoring you I promise!
Hills . .Most teachers at my site are Democrat. As the election nears, I’m really concerned. Our union usually makes suggestions and they all talk! My concern with McCain is pro-voucher, and pro-merit-pay, (from what I hear so far) But I can swallow this bitter pill and hope the Dem. Congress won’t let these issues pass. (My personal bias)
jm1673,
Who knows, Bayh might be it!
“Bayh, Humbug,” LOL…
p.s. doncha just love that picture where everyone’s got their hand over their heart except the anointed one, hahaha..
Rancho: I am glad I am not the only going “but it’s the first week of school. I can’t leave my students to a substitute the first week of school.” I hate being responsible. To top it off, thanks to NCLB (I know it’s a curse word), I’m dreading the start of the school year.
Taggles1: Now you answer why you can’t go to Denver. ; ) Do we still get a radio show during Denver week?
Bayh . . Obama (easy to get along with, nonthreatening)
They could be good “buddies”
Hills,
About the cry babies claiming McCain cheated???
yeah i commented about it earlier….they should take their own advice and “get over it” your boy lost!!! Obama got whooooped!!!
#1064 hillstheone on 08.19.08 at 1:38 am
“Bayh, Humbug,” LOL…
—————————-
lol. With some of McCain’s goofy ads I wouldn’t put something like that past him.
Rancho: Obama was also pro-merit pay and pro-voucher. Not much difference.
Only Senator Clinton was abolish NCLB.
pa dem I suspected you were a teacher, too! I have my placement cards with pictures, and I’m already feeling protective. Can you imagine starting the first day
Would they get it? I don’t think parents would be too pleased either! I have to believe our PUMA friends will be great representatives for us . .and I will definitely keep them ALL in my prayers!
“Hi, I’m not your REAL teacher. She chose not to be with you this week. She’s in Colorado at a PUMA PARTY!
Just finished my letter to Phil McNamara. In it I wrote the following:
Dear Mr. McNamara:
It has recently come to my attention that there is considerable cause for concern in regards to the nominating process employed at the approaching DNC Convention. All of this comes on the heels of other less-than-democratic maneuvering within the Democratic Party this year and I have found this election season and process profoundly unnerving. Besides the myriad of reports flooding in on voter fraud (stemming from the Obama machine) during the primary season, there is an equal amount of reports that the Obama machine (with the help of the DNC) is posturing itself for voter fraud during the roll call and nomination process at the convention. A small sample of such a report can be found here:

Trust me when I tell you that this activity will not go unoticed and the Democratic Party is risking great damage not only for the Party and the upc oming election but for the health of this great nation on a multitude of levels.
I strongly implore you to do everything within your power to make this issue a top priority. As a citizen and a concerned voter, I expect nothing less than your immediate attention and action to ensure a fair and VALID process. These expectations include:
· Steps taken to ensure that all delegate intimidation cease desist.
· Steps taken to appoint a committee of independent and neutral participants employed immediately to oversee and ensure a fair and valid process leading up to and during the convention (similar to the steps our country would take to ensure a democratic process in other countries. Recent elections held in Iraq are an excellent example of this).
· Steps taken to ensure that all delegates are PROPERLY informed of their legal rights and all appropriate procedures. Questioning the delegates of their voting intention prior to the convention also cease immediately.
The last item is due to reports that there has been an attempt to segregate and distance the Clinton delegates from being properly informed. Questionaires have been issued asking them their voting intentions. When information is disseminated to Clinton delegates, it is often intentional misinformation. There are reports that the process at the convention will entail the delegates to write their vote choice on a piece of paper and that paper would be collected and entered into a machine for tallying. This is highly suspect a nd open to fraud during the course of such an execution. This is unacceptable. Who would be collecting these slips of paper and who would monitor that vote substitutions would not occur in such a process?
Many will be watching and depending on you to uphold the democratic processes that should not be taken for granted. I would like to thank you in advance for any attention you can offer on this matter and would appreciate all assurances that this will be taken seriously and with the utmost urgency.
Sincerely Yours,
XXXXXX

pa dem that’s TRUE abt. Obama, too! AND NCLB! But he’s got DEMOCRAT next to his name so that is ALL some Democrats want to see! Again . . I put “Character” over labels!
mzebest, Great letter!
007girl: re: “get over it” your boy lost!!! Obama got whooooped!!!” Funny!! ;D
He got sooo whooped! Gee I hope our old friend at Air America, Randi Rhodes, liked that great performance of Obama’s. She was such a flaming Hillary hater, for crying out loud…
#1057 LoureyPuma, well I checked and you are right which makes me feel a little better about the papers I wrote to,I should have used the link someone posted on this sight. This was there response,they proabally did not even read what I said….
Thank you for writing a letter to the editor telling the media to report the truth, not lies and smears that are unfit for publication.
Your voice can change the world, and your commitment to getting involved is helping push back against these nasty slime attacks.
If you know other Americans who are ready to help take the political process back, please invite them to write a letter like you did.
Thank you for sharing your voice.

I heard them talking on FOX about the Obama accusations. This is cracking me up that BO is whining about this and making it an issue… it’s gonna piss off an even bigger demographic of people. For a person that everyone keeps saying is smart — he’s awfully stupid.
mzebest: I might “need” to plaguerize some of your letter sometime, LOL…
Rancho: I completely agree. It still mindboggles me that if I were to engage in or admit to drug use, I would never work in my field again, but a politician can admit to it in his book and still be a potential presidential candidate. It just seems wrong somehow.
007 How are you doing? Are you still having trouble posting?
!078 pa dem, are you from pa?
mzebest,
well I do find it funny how OVERBOARD they keep going for Obambi, my gosh you’d think he really could walk on water they way they do go on and on…but it’s even funnier they take themselves sooo seriously.
The reporter on Sunday was falling all over himself trying to continue to ply the poor pastor with questions about the pre-debate setup. It was pitiful!
When I saw that same pastor on CNN again today, w/yet another reporter trying to yank him around, he was a lot more assertive and borderline angry at the McCain accusation. And rightfully so.
007girl & hillstheone
Did you see Hannity talking on this? They also pointed out how Obama’s slip of saying he wouldn’t have elected Clarence Thomas since he was inexperienced (but at the last minute substituted another word).
#1076 mzebest
Yes he is stupid. Charisma can only get him so far (Hopefully not into the White House) but he needs a brain to run this country. I can safely say he’s not up to the challenge.
I need to get to bed everyone, it’s been fun.
Tomorrow’s another great day to be a PUMA!
#1078 pa dem….. My mind has been boggling for quite some time about how in the world we ended up with Obama as potential Prez !!! ( shaking my head)
pa dem
YES! My daughter’s boyfriend is a firefighter . . They VETTED him more than you can imagine! OBAMA couldn’t have a job as a firefighter, but he can RUN our country. My daughter was even interviewed by a chief, and she said the questions were brutal!
mzebest,
I missed the Clarence Thomas comment, too funny!
OK, really hitting the hay now, have fun everyone, see you tomorrow.
And remember we’re in it to win it!
Updated Fax Numbers for State DNC Headquarters
Dear Pumas, I posted this earlier tonight. These are fax numbers for each of the state DNC headquarters. Tonight I faxed them a copy of my last letter to Hillary, urging her not to release her delegates and telling her there’s no way I would ever vote for Obama.
Two of the numbers I provided earlier (HI and VT) were wrong. The three numbers below with asterisks are questionable. I couldn’t get my faxes to go through to them tonight.

Good night hills,
Hey if i don’t chat with you before you go to Denver….please be safe!!!!

Nite Hills!
Yeah 007! You’re back!

I didn’t see the CNN version… but Hannity had the pastor on as well… and they simply dismissed the charge as well as the CNN crew for being ridiculous. I was laughing at how they were laughing at the idea.
And yes — by all means — borrow from the letter if any of it helps. I hope everyone is addressing this prowl since there’s less than a week for these people to get the nominating process whipped into shape. I not only addressed the email to McNamara — but also cc’d the email to many of the media folks… the ones I trust…. such as fox, and Tom Abrahams. I wanted to send to national enquirer as well but didn’t know their email address.
#1086 Rancho
You’re so right about the vetting a firefighter goes through. I’m a volunteer firefighter, so I didn’t have to go through that. But the paid firefighters do. Obama could never make it.
GOOD MORNING PUMAS
Firebelle . . YOU would know!
Isn’t it amazing that his NONqualifications and his indescretions still allow him to TRY to be the leader of the free world! Yikes. . .scary!
#1085 007girl
Desperation 007 (
Ha that was fun to say. I felt like M). The American people are desperate for relief. This war, the tanking economy. People want to believe what Obama says even though they know that he’s full of bullshit. It’s not hard to convince people that he can do all fo these things because people are reaching out, groping in the darkness for some shred of hope. Let’s face it, America is in a bad place right now and he’s a fresh face with bubbly hopeful words. What people don’t realize is that words are just that. Words. Without something to back them up, that’s all they’ll ever be. Empty promises. That’s how he became a Presidential hopeful. And the Democrats (That is, the people in power) are pushing him through because he has no mind of his own. they can use him as a puppet, very easily.
Good morning storytellers and goodnight Hills!
Hi Rancho,
Yes i was having problems, but i think it is my wireless!!!
Mzebest,
I saw that almost slip on Saturday and yes Sean Hannity highlighted that tonite!!!
#1095 Rancho
Everything about him is scary. The guy would immediately fail the psyche portion of a firefighter background investigation. And that’s just for starters.
Firebelle
Psyche review . . Yikes, forgot abt. that!
Agility and endurance . . can’t do much if you are an empty suit!
Inu,
His hopey dopey changey speech will only last so long!!! I believe more people will awake from their trance and say ” hey WTF”? I can still hope
…And the vetting that a police officer goes through!
I once lived next door to someone trying to become a police officer and they came to interview me and my roommate about him.
Presidential candidates should get EXTREME vetting!
LandiPUMA! Yes!
Can you imagine how things SHOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT if the DNC took the time to interview Wright, Ayers, and Rezco (sp.)!
A cat photo for your relaxation:

#1102 LandiPUMA
I guess we know where Presidents rank in importance next to firefighters and police officers.
… And with that, I’m going to see if I can catch up on some of the sleep I haven’t been getting lately. Night all.
I’m starting to cut where I should staple, and staple where I should cut. That’s the problem with multitasking . . . blogging with one eye, and the other one trying to sleep!
Gotta go PUMAS . . thanks for the lively chat!
Good night Firebelle and Rancho i am not far behind you guys!!!
Firebelle,
The more i learn about hopey dopey the more he scares me!!!
Good night Inu….thanks for your support tonite!!!
When people talk about Hannity…. seems they’re generally talking about his FOX TV program (w/Colmes)….. I drive around no. CA a lot (for business), usually at the time when Hannity’s radio program is on… and I notice a big difference. He really lets loose and pulls no punches RE: BO… In the TV show, he’s a bit more restrained and probably limited.
I find it funny because he’s made almost his whole radio program into an ‘anti-BO’ show. He calls it the “stop the radical Obama [or 'Annointed One'] express’…. He’s had Corsi on his show a few times already.
Then listening to Bill Cunningham (another conservative) last Sunday through Sac area… I know these people have views that myself and many of you wouldn’t agree with… but it’s fascinating… He was saying things that jibe with us PUMAs… like how the DNC selected the wrong person; how Hillary should have been the nominee, having won all the big states, etc; how he would have had a hard time choosing McCain over Hillary (this last one really surprised me…. though I knew Mac just wasn’t his top republican choice).
Strange how the people from different political camps are agreeing on some of these points.
Here’s the link to the story from post #943

ELECTABILITY WATCH (EW)
Rasmussen: Obama 44%, McCain 43%
Gallup: Obama 46%, McCain 43%
All,
Governor Rendell is once again setting the pace for Clinton supporters in Denver. He has announced that he will support her on the first ballot. I encourage everyone to bring this information to the attention of HRC delegates and to Super Delegates so that a) the 18 million HRC primary voters will be fully and freely represented at the roll call vote, and b) the SDs will weigh all the information, see that BO is not “sealing the deal”, and vote for Hillary as the electable Democrat to bring the Democrats back to the White House.
And there is new talk about a CLINTON-Obama ticket. Don’t love it but can certainly live with it.
It is better to have a Democrat sitting in the White House even if Mile High Stadium has to sit empty for an evening.
In the next few days, it is critical to encourage all Clinton delegates to vote for HRC on first ballot. We have lists by state with some contact information (see # 8 below). When you write anyone on this list, or any of the SDs, please use the EW protocol – be sure that all contacts are upbeat, positive, polite, encouraging and supportive.
The basic message to the HRC pledged delegates is that they have the honor of representing the voters of their Congressional District on the fist ballot, that this will be a historic recording of those preferences, and they personally have the awesome opportunity to support Senator Clinton. 18 million HRC primary voters are counting on them!
For the SDs: their only job is to select the electable Democrat, and she is HRC and that in doing so, they also have the opportunity to correct for the caucus fraud and deception which has distorted the delegate count in Obama’s favor.
Hey! GO GO GO!

When you write anyone on this list, or any of the SDs, please be sure that all contacts are upbeat, positive, encouraging and supportive.

Please let mary Ellen Courtney know if you would like a state list. MECourt@aol.com
8. CONTACTING SUPER DELEGATES: In the next few days, please use your constituent hat to call your Democratic Congressional Rep and Senators to encourage them to vote for Senator Clinton on the first ballot. For the SDs, in addition to honoring Hillary’s candidacy, their job is to select the electable Democrat, and she is HRC and that in doing so, they also have the opportunity to correct for the caucus fraud and deception which has distorted the delegate count in Obama’s favor.
For Congressional fax and office numbers in Washington: http://delegatehub.wordpress.com
9. CONVENTION HAPPENINGS: Those of you going to Denver, please bring and wear your Hillary gear. A highly visible Hillary presence will help some of the HRC delegates who may be feeling isolated and without support.
*Please let me know if you will be in Denver and able to volunteer with the Clinton National Delegate group.
Please contact MECourt@aol.com if you know of any available housing or need a roommate.
AND FINALLY,
An ancient Chinese curse: may you live in interesting times…

Cindy Sheehan will be at Denver!!!!
Not sure if this was posted already, sorry if it has ,since i haven’t read all the post!!!
Hey All,
I’m on the overnight shift tonight.
this is just a test.
Using a code-tag only
in the beginning.
Hi Murphy!
I have never spoken to you before … I am a new Puma!
Just wanted to say you are amazing! I am glad to be a small part of all you are doing!
Hi Caracal,
Welcome! I’ve been enjoying your comments — always very informative and motivating.
What does “caracal” mean?
Hi Murphy…. did you know that Cindy will be at Denver??? I guess Flava Flav will be there too!!!
a Caracal is a cat that looks a lot like a Puma!
Well I am heading back to bed!
Ill have a new video up tomorrow!
Night all!
squish
Hi Murphy,
I was about to go to bed and saw your post…. You caught me doing my middle-of-the-night tests!
… Just wanted to let you know how impressed and appreciative I am of everything that you’ve done and are doing! Is there a you-tube video of you & Will on Hardball available for viewing anywhere? I would love to see that one!
It’s hard for us CA nightowls to get into a late-night chat when most of the nation is in bed… I was starting to have a conversation with some pumas earlier, and while I was writing a longer post, my other chat mates were signing off to go to bed (I’m not a fast typer)… It’s happened to me before! Can’t keep up fast enough with the post-chats!
Well… should go to bed soon to be refreshed for work tomorrow… but, again, I wanted to express my deep appreciation and gratefulness to you, Murphy!
Murphy,
Can we make #1114 a Prowl?
NV Puma — yes — we sure can.
thanks –
Landipuma — if youre still up — great to see you. I am grateful to you as well for your unflagging enthusiasm and non-nonsense!
There should be a link to the Hardball(s) interview on our media page at our homepage:
http://www.pumapac.org
Murphy,
My Question???
007 — you mean about Cindy Sheehan?
Yes — I did read that. I wonder if she’ll be a lost soul there or what? Do you know if her campaign has any backers or supporters?
Murphy,
I think i read ( refer to post #1116) that she will be there with recreate 68 on the 24th, and she will give a speech and they will March to the park…. I would comprehend more when i get some sleep !!!! sorry
thanks 007 — night, night.
6am here on the east coast — morning everyone!
New post up — today is a new day,
Take it upstairs!
watch this & forward as soon as possible, it will probably be taken off youtube soon.
