Igor is making sure everyone will be safe (not kidding!).
Jessi is making sure everyone will have posters and t-shirts.
Diane is making sure our Media and Delegate Outreach is a smashing success.
Riverdaughter is making sure everyone at home stays on top of the politics.
Brad and Lori are making sure everything is documented for posterity.
Saharra is making sure our Beautiful Protest and Rise is beautiful and inspiring.
John and Michele are making sure the delegates don’t lose their nerve.
Piper is making sure everyone is organized and focused.
Dana is making sure all our supplies arrive safe and sound in Denver.
Taffy is making sure we didn’t forget glue sticks.
MP is making sure no one goes crazy.
And dances is making sure of everything.
I’ll be away from computer for a few hours this morning — but not to worry. There should be a PROWL in your email boxes already, or very shortly. Keep contacting your state delegates today to make sure they know
Not sure about you, but I sense a shift in the wind. Is Ed Rendell’s plan to cast a real vote for Clinton on the first roll call just an expression of his desire for unity in the party? There couldn’t be a deeper meaning behind it could there be? I mean, it’s not like he’s an experienced politician or anything. No way could his announcement be a signal that all is not peachy keen in the Obama-DONC-SD Love Nest, right?
I mean, really, Obama is taking off! The guy is soaring in the polls; his performance at the Faith Forum on Saturday received unanimous raves; he continues to be a model of graciousness and charming modesty; small children look up to him; Ohio housewives send home-baked apple pies by the dozen to his headquarters in Chicago because the solid base of blue-state, middle class Democrats are just CRAZY about the guy; among college students Obama is more popular than Facebook; and everyone just LOVES Michelle — heck she’s turning out to be more charming, lovable, and admirable than Jackie, Ladybird, Betty, Rosalind, Abigail, and Eleanor all rolled into one — I bet Obama could win this thing simply on the grounds that his wife is such an American Treasure!
Howard Dean must feel like a true genius right now. Things couldn’t have gone better for the Democratic Party this year, and it’s all thanks to his leadership. Thanks a million Howie! I just KNEW we could win the White House this year for sure. EXCELLENT idea to tip the scales for an inexperienced, superficial, pandering, unaccomplished, unvetted candidate. That was such a great idea! Oh, and you’re right — Hillary Clinton still is a nasty old meany! It was BRILLIANT of you to let the sexist disdain for Clinton muddy the waters and make it more difficult for her to ever dare to wade back into the waters of national competition. Congratulations — you sure helped dock her ambitions and dreams — woo-hoo!
TODAY IS A NEW DAY PUMA PAC, Be wonderful to each other!

Good luck in Denver!
Excellent lead in!
Good morning PUMAS!

Fight the good fight in Denver. Many others will be with you in spirit. Thanks for drawing the line and defending it.

Best of Irish Luck Pumas in Denver !
Good Luck in Denver.Wish I could join you..ahh in my younger days!!! We will be with everyone in spirit!!
Does anyone have a prowl in their mailbox as Murphy said or is it coming?
Also, I have e-mailed MarylandPuma 3 times to get the spreadsheet of the delegates that JBJD said was available last Saturday. Who else has it so I can ge it? I got an e-mail from Taffy but it doesn’t have contact info. I was under the assumption that a list was being done and would have all the contact info. Does anyone have JBJD’s contact info. He stated that Florida didn’t have legal requirements that delegate had to honor their vote; however, that does not mean that I won’t contact everyone.
No prowl for me either.
Good morning! Loved the Prowl yesterday. Can’t wait for today’s. So wish I could be in Denver. I’ll wear orange for you here at home. (that’s my fav color!)
To all Pumas and other Hillary supporters going to Denver. Remember –
WE ARE THE ONES NO ONE WAS EXPECTING!!!
Here’s a good one that may have been posted yesterday:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/08/its_no_longer_just_about_hilla.html
Sorry, forgot to wish everyone going to Denver the best of luck and here’s hoping our Hillary will be the nominee!
I may not be able to do much today as we have a hurricane coming and I need to go outside now (still a little dark) and take in the rest of the stuff we didn’t last nite. Still have bird feeders, wind chimes and little statues around my pond. This is a real wildlife refuge! I hope the little marsh rabbits and raccoons and all of God’s other creatures will be o.k.
Where are you located Ladyhawke? I wish you well and thank you for taking care of our little critters!!
I know this isn’t an all women’s group, but has an invite been sent to Hillary to meet PUMAS? Following found in CNN link.
The Lingering What-If Question: Clinton?
….Women’s groups are also planning a parade and rally in Mrs. Clinton’s honor for next Tuesday in Denver. (A Clinton spokeswoman said Monday that she did not know whether Mrs. Clinton had been invited.)….

Off to work. Will have to prowl upon return.
#14 Virginia.Puma I’m in Florida and live on a mitigated marsh overlooking the golf course on the other side. The marsh has not had much water in it so we really need the rain. My yard has been certified by the National Wildlife Federation, I have tons of native plants for butterflies, a huge grapefruit and orange tree, honeysuckle, just everything. The only problem is that this county is the fastest growing county in the NATION
and also has the lowest per capita income. I hate how it has grown. I’m originally from Miami but that became a third world country and this place will eventually get there. I haven’t moved because I can’t find anything that would be better.
To the brave PUMAs who will be representing all of us in Denver, I send you a raucous roar and a high scratching paw. Those of us who cannot physically go are present in each and every one of you….wrapping you in our pride and love. Our spirits are walking right beside you. Thank you.
——————-
Murphy, you’re right on! The ONC thought it would be a piece of cake, and that all Democrats would buy into the Obaminsanity. Here’s hoping they learn one hell of a lesson in November.
——————-
To all our friends in this storm-prone zone: be safe.
Coming out of self-imposed lurkdom (just momentarily) to wish everyone well in Denver. This is an amazing group of people who can move mountains!
Stay safe everyone.
Good Morning Pumas
I was just reading some of the posts about the Saddleback Forum. It’s actually funny in a way. XO’s supporters totally believe McCain had the questions beforehand. So sad. Each candidate was given a “list of topics” in which questions would be asked. But, oh no, you can’t convince Obots that!! Once has to chuckle sometimes………..
Best wishes to everyone in Denver. Thank you all for taking the battle to the convention for us. It seems like “forever-ago” that we all remember hearing those memorable quotes during the RBC Meeting. “See you in Denver” and “Don’t worry Hillary–we’ll take it from here” Well, by golly we’ve done just that, and we are putting our money where our mouths are.
I’ll be anxiously following every PUMA move in Denver either via cable news, radio or internet. Stay safe PUMAs.
Time to write a few delegate letters and call a few offices first thing this morning. Let’s get busy….
Oh, the above post was in reference to an article by CNN.
I didn’t have any prowls today yet either. I’m still trying to get my other ones done.
Anyone here from Florida? Hope everyone is okay.
**** Words of Encouragement from the Universe****
(and me cause I cannot be the for your piece of the history, boo hoo)
TO FIND THE SHORTEST PATH to any dream, work with ideas, not facts. Dwell upon the end result, not the hows. And rely upon the Universe, not yourself.
Good luck in Denver, everyone! You are all an inspiration. This group truly represents the people’s democracy. I am somewhat of a silent member, but I read everything, do my PROWLS, contribute monthly and root everyone on! So congratulations to Murphy, Mama, Maryland, Trish and everyone here who does such an amazing job! By the way new article this morning on the McCain camp noticing some partisanship in the press–particularly NBC. No! Unheard of.
Here is the link for the article I referenced in #24

If it wasn’t serious, it would be downright hilarious. McCain already has mentioned names before about the Supreme Court Justices, he has already told everyone before about the “cross” in the sand and what it meant to him. In fact, all the questions asked, have already been raised before. It is XO that got into trouble!!

Left to my own devices, I put together the PROWL on my own, with the editorial assistance of an angel from CA. It’s 7:45 AM here; we were up all night. The PROWL has been sent to Maryland PUMA, in final form, with detailed instructions and links to the spread sheets containing the names and addresses of pledged delegates in each state. The only thing she has to do now, is post my PROWL on top of the blog. That’s it.
There’s nothing else I can do to get this out. Nothing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgcSvUWrUpQ
Another anti PUMA video regarding the “Hardball” interview. Calling Murphy a liar. Sorry to post it, but Obama has the “fight the smears” site, and we just have each other. Comment and rate down, because they are rating it up. Just say the truth because they like to spread lies.

We are up and roaring to go today and have the prowl out for you first thing.
Be good PUMAs and get this work done.
Then come back and brag
Love

jbjd — don’t fret– I’ll post your prowl as soon as I get back to the computer. Thank you much for all your hard work and passion,
Murphy.
Murphy, what can I say…..What a powerful good morning to you too! Now talk about cathartic…lol I got mine out yesterday in my letter to Hillary. And boy did it finally feel good.
Now on to Denver to kick some Donkey democrat’s A$$……we PUMAs at home will be doing all we can to be a part of this historical event.
WOOOOO WOOOOOOO its going to be a beautiful day I can already tell.
Mama Puma and Murphy, can someone PLEASE email me the Prowl for today when you get a chance. I am a newbie and have not gotten any so far. Thanks
35 Oneof18million cracks…
Good morning, I don’t think they’ve been sent yet – well, I haven’t gotten one that is.
I posted this late last night. I was so angry I couldn’t sleep.
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!!!
If many of you were like me, we knew that politics was a stew of money, influence-peddling, expediency, and pandering. For the first time in my life, not only am I watching the sausage being made, but I feel like I am in the grinder.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/08/its_no_longer_just_about_hilla.html
I LOVE this paragraph in this article!!!
It says it all………….
“For many of these women, whatever nice things Clinton says about Obama in Denver won’t matter much. They have decided that they can live with McCain, and they’re already inoculated against the crude anatomical references that left-wing bloggers will send their way. (There’s not one they haven’t heard.) Hillary can’t do much to change their feelings — even if she wanted to.”
37 doria
I’m reading this book right now. So many people still believe in good ol’ democracy. I’m not very far into the book yet though. More people should be made aware of the political corruption and how BO was “made to order.”
JBJD
Did you see that Oklahoma and rhode Island have bound delegates?
36 1gypsy4mc, Thanks for letting me know.
The best line I can think of for today is”
“Democrats, we’re JUST NOT INTO YOU anymore.”
notyoursweetie , thanks for that link – this is what I posted over there ..
For me , this has never been about Sen. Clinton OR Sen. Obama . This has always been about the actions of the DNC , Howard Dean , Nancy Pelosi , Donna Brazile et. al . It became obvious early on that they were trying to subvert the process and shove an inexperienced , unvetted candidate down our throats .
We Clinton supporters were portrayed as being racist or bitter when most of us just wanted healthcare .
We watched the media defame and degrade an American leader simply because she is a woman . They never attacked her on her vision or her plans to move the country forward . They attacked her tears , her laughter , and her anatomy .
Then , when she continued to defy them by actually WINING major states in the primaries , they did the unthinkable when they STOLE votes from her and gave them to her opponent .
The decisions made that day by the DNC R&B committee sealed the deal for me . Their actions made it impossible for me to EVER support their candidate .
There is NOTHING that Sen. Clinton could ever say or do to prompt me to support a corrupt party or vote for a candidate who has encouraged vitriole in order to promote his own egocentric agenda .
I am holding out hope that Sen. Clinton will do the right thing and stand up to the DNC , and we will be able to rid our beloved party of those corrupt individuals in power , but , if worse comes to worse , we will have ample time while John McCain is in office to rebuild from the ground up .

Wow – that was good. I think you’re right too. If we’re not taken seriously and we back down, then it will become just repeats in the future!! And I’m talking about both sides. It’s about time our government starts respecting the people that put them in office!!
Very good!

________________________________________
The New Agenda’s agenda is to look out for women’s political interests where the Democratic Party and old-line feminist organizations had failed. The attendees reserved special fury for the Democratic National Committee and its passivity before the misogynistic carnival. One of their specifics is getting MSNBC jester Chris Matthews fired — and if he intends to run for the Senate from Pennsylvania, to end that idea.

Does anyone know how we can contact and get involved with this group, “New Agenda”?

Did I see where? On that horrid list? I went crazy searching for the binding laws from a couple of states on the list. I searched statutes, codes, session laws… The letters were complete except for those cites: the names of the A’sG; the S’s of S; the chairs of the state Democratic Party, and all of their contact info. And this wasn’t easy. Not all state officers want to be contacted. But I just couldn’t find these laws. So finally, I called those state offices; and waited on hold; or summarily . And finally, I reached the appropriate source of all answers, and learned, there is no such law in my state. So I deleted these letters; and started all over again, on another state, realizing if I didn’t find the binding law in a reasonable time then, this state wasn’t a binding vote state. Period. (In CO, a very nice man suggested I should burn the list.)
I’m just about done with KY; then, NH. Waiting for the PROWL to post with CA, IN, and OR. Everyone works on each state. Read the instructions.

Your place sounds beautiful. I hate “progress” too. I’m looking to move to southern, middle Virginia to a more natural life. I feed all the critters I can here in the city: birds, chipmonks, squirrel, lizzards/ frogs etc. Love my hummngbirds, yellow and purple finches, titmice,cardinals, buntings. Ifeel lucky with all my birds and I am at constant war with the cats next door. I have 3 dogs and two cats, but my cats stay inside.

sorry it wasnt much help but no I didnt mean on the list. I found references to them on line last night. For Oklahoma and Rhode Island anyway.
But I am sure that you have already found the ones you needed. I just had some time and thought I may have found something to help.

Took the poll, 76% McCain, leftovers for BO. I’m thinking he might as well not show up for the election.
What a waste of good money the undemocratic party has been spending.
Spend wisely, support PUMA!
Email from : Ben Johnson
My son said if Obama loses, it’s because of idiots like you. Furthermore, the most solid part of the base is African Americans.
Dear Hillary,
I am asking that you NOT release your delegates on the floor at the roll call in Denver. No matter what, some of us will NOT vote for Obama this fall. He is not our candidate, and because the DNC chose to run the primary in the manner in which they did, there will be no party unity until they resume to follow the very rules by which they are governed. We 18,000 cracks choose you, and will only vote for you. Give us the chance.
Proud PUMA member,
D Engler Leander,TX

Am anxiously awaiting #28jbjd’s PROWL
My gmail is not working again. I don’t get all those code words, I have inputted them at least 15 times. That e-mail program sucks, I always have problems with it.
I just love the fact that XO is going to Orlando, which is about 120 miles from me and it is going to be RAINING, no one should even show up as they are getting all their stuff inside and doing last minute shopping because of Hurricane Fay!
Good Morning everyone, my prowl is done. faxed one from home from me and my husband and one from work.
Also sent email to Govenor Strickland of Ohio, asking for his support for Hillary at the convention. Also sent Bill a Happy Birthday message.
My fax came back NG, wonder if we jammed her lines? Will try again.
If you haven’t seen this video created by our Trish with help from goandersen, watch it, rate it. It is without a doubt the best!

#12 Virginia PUMA Thanks for the link to that story I did miss it and it was great.
I can really get with The New Agenda and I absolutely agree NOW does not understand the use of power. All I ever get from them is outraged letters regarding gay rights or imagined racist slurs and money requests. Not that these are not problems but they are supposed to concentrate on WOMENS ISSUES and by that I mean issues regarding all women regardless of their sexual orientation so they don’t need to talk about sexual orientation non stop.
you have to stop the action like this

Can someone email me the Prowl for today? For some reason I have not received any since I joined 8-9. If not could you tell me what I’m suppose to do. I really want to participate. Thanks

Here is the info the NYT article refers to:
Dear Friends,
We are so pleased to tell you that Sen. Clinton and Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones have confirmed they will be our special guests at our launch event at the Convention in Denver on Tuesday, Aug. 26th.
You were among our first and most loyal supporters, so we’d love you to forward the invitation below to friends in your networks who you think might be interested in attending our lunch.
Hope to see you in Denver on the 26th.
Warmly,
WomenCount.org
#79, I got that email. Will certainly take advantage of it today. Off to work. Be back!

your english is perfect… its mine you can’t understand …
Good luck to everyone going to Denver! Stay safe and just know that you are all doing the right thing!
Good morning PUMAs: I am in today; getting the tropical storm, Faye; office is closed, wind and rain, and a tornado watch covering the entire peninsula.
A suggestion on getting the fax/e-mail to Senator Clinton. Go into the delegate website below, click the state of NY, and then send your message to Senator Clinton by selecting her name. President Clinton is on the list too, so I am sending the note to him as well. You can fax that way or e-mai directly to them.

Stay safe Floridians. Actually this is kind of exciting as long as it isn’t a full blown hurricane.
*** PROWLS ***
Morning PROWL is in your email. Please let me know if you didn’t get it and I will forward.
Afternoon prowl will be EXTREMELY important. (THANK YOU EditorPUMA and JBJD). Please make sure you have followed the instructions to JOIN Puma PAC. If you do not get it, email me and I will forward.
As a reminder – members are free to organize their own Prowls/Growls. If you want to send the O camp Burger King crowns to symbolize the fake king, then do so! If you want to send Bill Clinton birthday cards, do so!
Excellent Maryland Puma! I’ve been so busy that I’ve not had the time to read the longggggggggggg, lonnnnngggggggggggggg threads! (smile, good thing on long!).
Thanks for sharing your letter!
I’m pleased as punch being from Ohio! Stephanie is a great woman! I was lucky enough to get her/hillary/strickland/ted danson autographs on a Hillary poster at the Cleveland State U.
PUMAS, thank you all for taking the time to support OUR candidate for ME and others!
Carrie or Trish, you both do such great videos, I have a suggestion tell me if its possible and what you think….
How about putting together a video of PUMAs? We could all email you pics. I think it would be neat to have the faces of PUMAs who have dedicated themselves to this important cause, who can not travel to Denver. What do you think? You could mix the PUMA pics in with Hillary pics. I know we have men PUMAs too, 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. This could also coincide with the celebration of the Women’s Sufferage of 88 yrs. You could include it in your videos you are going to be playing at the convention.
This could be one way the PUMAs who are not able to attend the convention could be present. Also, all of us at home could light white candles during the time the PUMAs will be holding their ceremony, so we will all be united.
My favorite saying for the day is,
“Democrats, we’re JUST NOT INTO YOU anymore.”

It’s a great idea, but I don’t know how successful that would be. Many PUMAs preferred to be anonymous at the convention, i.e. without a face, due to the obvious reprecussions many members have reported.
What would be doable is a video message to Hillary from our members – a short two sentence of the members’ own choosing and their city, state. Find a pic that represents your sentiment and send it with your message.
I know Trish is extremely busy at work (she got PROMOTED! YAY!) so if she can’t take this on, then perhaps another PUMA can?
That would be AWESOME to be able to air at our PUMA HQ in Denver.
Thanks PUMA for fighting for a fair process in Denver.
As much as I want Hillary as a nominee, I want legitimacy in the Democratic Party more. I am struggling with how to vote this fall, but know I cannot vote for a party that betrays its constituents.
Will be watching Denver closely and so glad to hear we will be able to stay current through PUMA. Wish I could go, but donating to help send all of you instead.
Thank you!
One that is a great idea!
I will be thrilled to make that video.
Anyone who wants can email pics to me for the video at

I really do have to get some work done today, cause I really slacked off yesterday . (This just seems so much more important right now), but I wanted to mention something while it was on my mind.
I was thinking last night that I noticed many posts in the last few days that say “I usually don’t post” .
I know for myself anyway that I seem to be experiencing more anxiety than usual as time for the convention draws near. Also really feel a sense of separation from everything because I can not attend in Denver. Therefore I seem to need to be on the blog constantly for my own comfort level.
I just wanted to say to those who are not going to Denver and for those who just usually lurk to PLEASE consider making your presence known next week.
Just a note to say “I’m Here” or whatever. May seem silly to some but we need to connect here constantly and keep each other strong, too!
Of course our hearts and prayers will be with our traveling PUMA family.

#110 Caracal Carrie I didn’t mean to imply you couldn’t do your thing, too. I think it would be great if you also did a video. I just e-mailed you.
Checking my spam folder in email this AM, I found an invitation to host a BO “convention watch party” next week along with a detailed list of his 10 carefully chosen supporters from “middle America” who will be his special guests backstage….
I replied w/ the following:
More carefully orchestrated **** from the OBLAHMA DOG AND PONY SHOW!!
Be sure to have a big pool of water on stage so FLIPPER can do all his tricks for his fans!
Now that’s catharsis!
Seeing Hillary give that acceptance speech @ Invesco while he and his 10 middle American guests WATCH from backstage….priceless!
102 MsBinMD:
I agree. Those of us that can’t go, can help by showing our support of PUMAs in Denver through our donations and presence here.
Go PUMA’s, Go Hillary!

Personally, I’d like to see a “fighting song”.
It’s time to get off the roller coaster!
Finished yesterday’s prowl this morning. Will do today’s prowl when I get home (can’t fax from work).
Also mailed out over 100 of Fred’s posters to other Hillary supporters here in ne PA, many with a personal note inviting them to join us (thanks again Fred – I’m ready for more).
Battleground state aren’t looking so good for BO
Obama McCain Spread
Colorad 45.3 45.8 McCain +0.5
Virginia 45.7 46.3 McCain +0.6
Missouri 45.0 47.3 McCain +2.3
Michiga 46.0 42.8 Obama +3.2
Ohio 45.3 46.8 McCain +1.5
Florida 45.4 47.2 McCain +1.8
Daily Presidential Tracking Poll
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows Barack Obama attracting 45% of the vote while John McCain earns 42%. When “leaners” are included, it’s Obama 47% and McCain 45%.
I bet after the convention fanfair, and if OB is the nominee, the numbers will not increase but perhaps go down like after his ‘citizen of the world’ trip.

Last Chance to Lobby Delegates Before Nomination
Tuesday, August 19, 2008
Dear Super Delegate Lobbyist:
Thanks to YOU — and over 25,000 other users — Super Delegates are hearing the views of rank-and-file Democrats about who to choose as the Party’s Presidential nominee.
You know how close this year’s Democratic Primary contest was, and you know the unprecedented power Super Delegates were given over the nomination battle between Senators Clinton and Obama. You also know that LobbyDelegates.com provided the ONLY means for you and other rank-and-file voters to influence Super Delegates, who could nominate whoever they desired, regardless of which candidate won the primary in your state or any other.
We at the StateDemocracy Foundation hope you appreciate that our LobbyDelegates.com website was absolutely crucial in allowing at least some popular input into a decision-making process that threatened to substitute the will of an elite few Super Delegates for the Will of The People.
You now have one last chance to lobby these 800+ top party officials before they vote August 28 at the Denver National Convention, and we encourage you to do so again by going to LobbyDelegates.com.
Remember, email is FREE, as is printing out your addressed letters to stamp and mail to the Super Delegates you desire. With time of such essence, you may wish to FAX your message by making a $5 minimum donation to our StateDemocracy Foundation (to cover our fax vendor costs).
The StateDemocracy Foundation thanks you for supporting LobbyDelegates.com, and we especially appreciate those of you who made a contribution to partially help underwrite this public interest initiative.
Please consider making another tax-deductible contribution (or your first one) to support LobbyDelegates.com and our other efforts promoting civic engagement — such as StateDemocracy.org, our free, 1-stop portal connecting constituents to their state and federal lawmakers. You can also visit StateDemocracy.org for access to voter registration, absentee ballots and polling place locators for jurisdictions throughout the nation.

Madlogic, this election season is ripe for the Democratic to be taking the general election with at least a 14 point lead instead Obama 47% and McCain 45% are both within the margin of error.

Also really feel a sense of separation from everything because I can not attend in Denver. Therefore I seem to need to be on the blog constantly for my own comfort level.
I just wanted to say to those who are not going to Denver and for those who just usually lurk to PLEASE consider making your presence known next week.

Prowl completed. Here is my letter that I wrote Hillary.
606 738-4433
August 19, 2009
Dear Senator Clinton,
I am writing this letter to encourage you and to ask that you do not release your delegates on the floor at the roll call. You have encouraged so many Americans in knowing that with YOU as our President, our country can be turned around and be restored to the place that it should be.
You have been bullied and pushed around by a group of people who want to be able to have the power to further corrupt our nation. You are truly our only hope. I have fought for you since the beginning and will continue the fight to the end. I have been in a situation similar to the one you are in. Of course, I have not run for President, lol, but I work in a man’s world. I am self employed and because I did not “fall in line” with the powers that be, I lost my contract with the county and was financially ruined. In a way, this is the same thing that happened to you. I took what was done to you personally, since I was bullied and threatened etc. and know first hand what that feels like.
I watched you go through many stages, you were tough, you were human, you were brilliant, and no matter what they did to you, they could not break you. You have won my admiration and respect. You will go down in the history books as the President who should have been and right now, I firmly believe that you will be our next one.
I am so disappointed with the Democratic Party, and have been a lifelong democrat, but unless it is you on the top of the ticket, I will be voting for a different candidate since I know without a doubt, that Obama is NOT going to win this election. The DNC thinks we are all stupid and that we do not know and realize what they have done. They have become so corrupt and dishonest that they have destroyed the party.
Please, once again, I am begging you to not give up the fight. We are PUMAPAC and we are with you all the way.
Sincerely,
#80Hillary4Ever: Get on this blog and post, especially at the convention! I taught English for years. Your English is great! I and all of us want to hear your thoughts, ideas, feelings…If you want to see or hear some strange English, come on down to New Orleans and stand on a corner…We are known for creating our own special brand of the language…Like..where ya at, dawlin..and How;s ya mama?…..Look forward to hearing more from you here.

Prowl done. Here’s the fax I sent to Senator Clinton. #88 Flower Child, thanks for the tip, I sent it there as well. The first two paragraphs were somewhat plagiarized from a letter posted here yesterday, but I don’t know who to credit. I have an appointment but will be back later to do more actions. If you can use any part of this letter, feel free. Love you Pumas!
August 19, 2008
Dear Senator Clinton,
I am writing to you as a lifelong Democrat. I have heard continuous reports in the in the media that your name will be placed in nomination at the Democratic National Convention, but you will release your pledged delegates on the floor at the roll call vote. While it is my sincere hope that I’m being misinformed, I felt it necessary to weigh in on this matter.
I am one of 18 million voters who cast their vote for you during this historic primary. I cast that vote believing that it would be represented on the convention floor by a delegate from my state assigned to support you. If your name is only placed in nomination symbolically without a fair and honest roll call vote, the entire process is rendered meaningless and my trip to the poll was a complete waste of time. Is this democracy?
Second, as a woman, what message does this send? I watched how hard you worked during the primary, Senator. I saw the drive and determination, the tenacity and unending dedication you brought to this process. It reminded me of my own struggle to achieve the rank of Sergeant Major in the Army. I know firsthand how tough it is to compete in a traditionally male field. The thing is, Senator, you were virtually tied at the end of this contest. Now, women all over America who watched the same epic struggle I did are being told, yes, you can compete, but no, at the end, you must just step back, be quiet, and let the less qualified male have the glory. I totally reject that. We women have worked too hard for equal rights to see such a travesty unfolding before our very eyes. Please stand up for us.
In closing, I urge you to demand the honest and fair roll call which you have earned and to direct your delegates to cast their votes accordingly without undue pressure or influence. We don’t want a dog and unity pony show at the convention, Senator. We want to see the standing rules followed and may the best candidate win.
As a member of Puma Pac who has worked diligently to secure your nomination, I hope you will consider my thoughts and I wish you luck.
Sincerely,
XXXXXXXXX

Dear Senator Clinton:
We are delighted to finally hear that your name will be placed in nomination and that a roll call will occur, as has been the protocol in previous Conventions.
However, after having read several articles on this issue, it is also striking that the AP has written a few days ago “…how the vote will play out still are being determined.” It has been written and heavily televised (by surrogates of Senator Obama), that you will release your delegates to Senator Obama.
I am one of your supporters requesting that you do not release your delegates on the floor at the roll call. Senator Obama needs to obtain the nomination by being elected (not selected). Anything less than a true election (i.e., coronation) will not sit right among your supporters and I will have lost all faith in the Democratic Party.
However, even if Senator Obama is elected as the Democratic nominee, there are millions of your supporters that unfortunately no matter how much you try to unite us into the Obama fold, we will not comply. We all have our own reasons, but we are united in knowing that he simply is “not the one” to be leading our country in these times and we will put our Country first over the Democratic Party. Note that many of my Republican friends switched their registrations to Democrat just for the PA Primary, specifically so they could vote for you—again, putting their Country ahead of their Party because they felt as I do that you are the best candidate to move our country forward.
In closing, if I don’t see you walk out of the Convention as the nominee, I will be reluctantly supporting and voting for John McCain in the fall; but, should you decide to run again in 2012, which millions of us know you have the courage and strength to do, I will be here to support you again as I have in 2008.
Sincerely,

Good Morning Pumas and a great BIG WELCOME to all new Pumas.
It is so totally awesome to see that we raised so much money over the weekend for Denver, congratulations everyone!
My thoughts and prayers for ((((((Florida Pumas)))))) in the path of Fay, stay safe.
I am not sure where to post this. This is my first posting for this site. I received the prowl re Corsi’s book yesterday; so, I am reporting my response here. This morning, while performing this prowl, I referenced the suggested “talking points” from Obama. Anyway, this is what I sent off to all available newspapers on the form:
The Obama campaign asks us to “Expose Jerome Corsi as a Right-Wing Fabricator”. It provides “talking points” proclaiming: “The media are not playing their role as watchdogs.” Ordinarily, I would rally and criticize Corsi’s new book. Then I review the “talking points” and I am reminded of how much more energy Obama spends on winning a race and than actually accomplishing something in office. I recall how this media darling remained gleefully silent while the press routinely tarred and feathered Sen. Clinton. I remember his dismissive statements about her experience and his condescending reference to her “claws”. I am reminded how the press branded the Clintons racist and how Obama has used that and other race cards to his advantage. I know Mr. Corsi has caused so much damage with his muckraking. I am not a fan. Yet, I see our divided party and remember that Sen. Obama has sanctioned the belittling of older voters, women, blue-colored workers and others who question his candidacy. Obama’s “talking points” suggest the use of terms like “bigot”, “smears” and “slime artists”. Naturally, I recall the thug tactics Obama has not only popularized among his supporters, but used against fellow Democrats. I am sorry Sen. Obama. You point one finger towards another, and the other four point back at you. Sadly, I am reminded once again why I am a PUMA.

*** MEMBER ADVISORY ***
As we approach the Convention and our voices grow louder, opposition tactics have, and will continue, to increase in number and severity.
Please make sure you scan your computer as frequently as you can. Be aware of “funny” things happening. Expect delays and “issues” with the blog. Be aware of who is around you at all times, especially if you are an identifiable PUMA or HRC supporter or have these items displayed around your personal property.
I applaud all of you for taking a stand, standing up, and being counted.
TO: those who WILL mock this post from outside this blog
You have no idea what our members have endured IN PERSON, UP FRONT AND PERSONAL. Accosting another human being for a differing viewpoint is WRONG. Destroying their personal property is WRONG. Tampering with our communication and personal technology is WRONG. Intimidation is WRONG. Threats are WRONG. Slander is WRONG.
PUMA PACers accost or attack no one. We protest peacefully. And we’re good at it.
Hi Trish. Love your videos
I love the 2 faces flyer of Obama. Great work.
Carrie or Trish, you both do such great videos, I have a suggestion tell me if its possible and what you think….
How about putting together a video of PUMAs? We could all email you pics. I think it would be neat to have the faces of PUMAs who have dedicated themselves to this important cause, who can not travel to Denver. What do you think? You could mix the PUMA pics in with Hillary pics. I know we have men PUMAs too, 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. This could also coincide with the celebration of the Women’s Sufferage of 88 yrs. You could include it in your videos you are going to be playing at the convention.
This could be one way the PUMAs who are not able to attend the convention could be present. Also, all of us at home could light white candles during the time the PUMAs will be holding their ceremony, so we will all be united.
My favorite saying for the day is,
“Democrats, we’re JUST NOT INTO YOU anymore.”

Regarding the section on abortion;
Pro ABORTION Conditional
After viewing the video below that sign should read;
Pro ABORTION A vote for Infanticide

Obama voted for that bill which would prevent the end of term abortion.
As mush as I am for pro choice, I cannot believe they perform abortion at the end of a trimester.

Dear Ladies & Gentleman of the Press,
I have not read the book Obama Nation, but I can tell you it does seem as though this is such. Every time I turned on my T.V. to watch the Primary season, the Media seemed to be holding its punches against the Senator. However when it came to his opponents they were ready to let loose. As you Now notice, the Senator isn’t all he & his campaign have made him out to be. He has hardly any Senatorial legislation to point to, both in the U.S. & Illinois State Senate. He has said he wants to bring change in politics, yet flip flops with the rest of them.
With the crises in Georgia he came off rather weak, while his opponent John McCain came off as strong. Even his former Democratic rival Hillary Clinton came off strong. This is not someone I want leading my country in a time of War. I do not approve of the war in Iraq, I have been against it. However we are there, and it is no use crying over spilled milk. We need someone with foreign policy experience, not a “Rock Star” That goes on “Tour” overseas.
I am a member of P.U.M.A. PAC and believe to this day that Hillary Clinton would have made a great President. And if the conniving DNC gets their way she won’t be the nominee in Denver, so I have to vote whom I feel can lead our country in a time of war. Obviously I refer to Republican Senator John McCain. He has that experience necessary to lead us in the War on Terror, the physical wars in Iraq & Afghanistan and any other conflicts in the future.
To iterate the difficulty I personally have in not voting Democrat, I will tell you that I am a Gay American. I know that the GOP will never give me equal rights or treatment, that only the Democratic party will. But I have learned in my brief 30 years of life that sometimes there are more important things than yourself, or party loyalty. I would be a fool to vote only on Party line this time. As I have stated Senator Obama is not qualified to lead our country. John McCain is so qualified.
So what does that make me? Am I a Democrat turned Republican? No. I am a Democrat turned Independent. I will do my best for now and until the end of my life to vote not along party lines, but based on qualifications & experience to lead our great nation in to the future.
I will say that if Hillary makes the ticket in 2012 I will vote for her. Not because she is Democrat, but because I truly believe she has the experience to be the leader of the free world. One of the mistakes the Media has made about her, is that she is not Bill. She is not the extension of his legacy or even his Presidency. She is her own Person. She is her own strength and her own character. She will think and act for herself, and not what ever her husband wants. Women are truly the Intellectual equals to men in both experiences and qualifications, and can be the leader of the Greatest Nation on Earth.
Thank you for your time,
Dameon L. Huber

Dana has agreed to take pics and send them as the items come in. Everything you asked for, we got. ALL items will ship Priority Flat Rate Box or envelope. You can use the USPS link to determine cost for shipping. This shipping allows me to get a great rate regardless of weight and a tracking number at a fraction of the cost of other methods.
This has been a CRAZY project due to time constraints and logistics.

I hate to ask on the blog, but I’ve been through all my documents and can’t find an email address for Hillary’s campaign office, not her Senate office. Does anyone have this?

I’ll watch for it and let you know when complete.
Carrie or Trish, you both do such great videos, I have a suggestion tell me if its possible and what you think….
How about putting together a video of PUMAs? We could all email you pics. I think it would be neat to have the faces of PUMAs who have dedicated themselves to this important cause, who can not travel to Denver. What do you think? You could mix the PUMA pics in with Hillary pics. I know we have men PUMAs too, 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. This could also coincide with the celebration of the Women’s Sufferage of 88 yrs. You could include it in your videos you are going to be playing at the convention.
This could be one way the PUMAs who are not able to attend the convention could be present. Also, all of us at home could light white candles during the time the PUMAs will be holding their ceremony, so we will all be united.
My favorite saying for the day is,
“Democrats, we’re JUST NOT INTO YOU anymore.”

Madlogic, it is just my suggestion.
It is the truth, he is the only senator that voted twice for that bill. It is in the voting records. This is not something made up….
But, you are probably right, it is to provocative!
Even though I am new here blogging and all, I think all of you are great for supporting Hillary and also I just love this site. So BO will be here in NC today…{like I really care} and from what I have read in comments, nobody cares! Trying to win over NC, McCain has a 4 pt. lead over him, so he’s trying to “CHANGE” over the Hillary voters to him. Not this Hillary Voter…..not giving him the time of day.

Last night I posted my letter to Phil McNamara but thought I’d post it again in case anyone wants to borrow ideas. I also CC’d my email to media sources such as Fox and Tom Abrahams in the hopes that they will put the pressure on to look into or monitor voter fraud. Not expecting them to but one can still hope. If you haven’t sent a letter to Mr. McNamara — please do so soon since we’ve less than a week until the voting mechanism at the convention and at the hands of Obama will begin. Here’s what I wrote (and I’ll be offline for a bit while I head out to work):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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:
http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/08/18/kentucky-clinton-supporters-protest-clinton-delegate-replacement/
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 upcoming 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 and 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
City, State
Infantcide – that’s a tough one, although I am in full agreement.

Such a controversial issue could prove to be a real distraction.
Personally, I’d hate to see this blog turn into an abortion discussion of ANY kind.
I was under the impression that there were immediate goals needing attention before the convention.
Isn’t that an anti-choice group that posted that Youtube vid?
Is Pumapac anti-choice?
Should we talk about that here?
I don’t think so, personally.

Christ.
Prowl done – thank you MsBinMD.
It’s such a hot potato.
I hate to see Obama get away with the BS he pulled but in a way it’s also playing into the hands of the anti-choice movement when their vids get posted on blogs.

Heehee. I can’t remember a presidential race where the VP pick was less interesting to me.
Obama Won’t Play Well on World Stage
Dear Pumas, I have to make this very quick. I’ll be losing power shortly for most of the day.
When I write my letters to Hillary this week, I plan to focus on how Obama won’t play well on the world stage. I want to plant the idea that Obama’s behavior during his campaign is not something that will go over well with other world leaders when he tries it on them.
Other nations will not put up with his Chicago style politics; they won’t put up with bullying. Other nations will not appreciate his lying, cheating, race baiting, etc., only to have him turn around and accuse them of the very same thing.
My plan is to pick apart all the nasty things Obama has done during the campaign and cite that as evidence of how he will conduct himself as President. Then I’ll make the point that this will further deteriorate our relations with other countries.
And I’ll keep hammering away at the fact that nothing Hillary can say or do will persuade me to vote for Obama.
The more we paint him as bad for our country, bad for our future, and bad for the world as a whole, the better. It clearly communicates that we will never fall in line.
TexasPony: I like your letter. I feel the same way. I know the GOP will not give equal rights to gays but we have to put our Country before ourselves. I can live with 4 years of McCain…. I pray for a Hill upset in Denver!

Clinton Superdelegates
Dear Pumas, someone posted this link downstairs. (If I weren’t racing the clock, I’d find the post again and give that person credit.) At any rate, it has contact information for Clinton superdelegates. If you want to send them copies of your letter to Hillary, go for it.

#201 TrishfromCanada that’s a extra bonus , and proves you did a really good job.
#193 Oneof18million cracks. I think that’s a great idea and either of those two are perfect for the job.
The best of luck in Denver. Little does PUMA members know but there are millions of silent Democrats that will not vote for OBAM for many, many reasons, not all reasons are how Hillary was treated. It’s not all females either.

I was a severe studderer growing up….. I empathize with this issue. Obama is not a studderer….. he is calculating… and so, he stammers to buy more time for his rhetoric.

One more thing….. at the beginning of the saddleback forum…. notice how Obama sounded so patronizing as he commented on what a “good looking ‘ audiance was there. He sounded like a guy trying to hustle a buck out of you at a carnival.
#215 Hi BigCatLover!
Yeah, I don’t see the point in lingering this VP thing along. There’s no one out there to get excited about even for an obamabot. All they care about is who ISN’T on the ticket (wink).
The only way he can make thunder that’ll strike McCain’s choice down is to choose someone that can top something like the opening ceremonies to the Olympics in China. That will be nearly impossible.
The only kind of show stopper I can imagine is Hillary Clinton as VP. That would be a BIG surprise. Unfortunately that would make her look even worse in my eyes (I really can’t forgive her for backing Obama). Should that be the case, however, I’ll be back with a seething monologue. But, that shouldn’t happen.
Don’t forget my picks for VP:
Kaine and Romney

I know, I saw Obama’s Invesco Tickets with the upside down American Flag, an international symbol of extreme distress.
It could be a few things, like a totally hilarious gaffe, or it could actually be what it seems to be, an upside down flag draped on Obama, with the word “Change” to show Obama as our savior who can save the “distressed” Nation.
Meanwhile, look at the article from Hotair, and then look at the cover of John Kerry’s old book! An upside down American Flag.

#240 athyrio- No that is not for PUMAPAC- that is for 18million.
Marylandpuma: in case you did not catch it earlier. Precious flipped when he said he would not run for POTUS in 2008.
I just sent this to ALL the super delegates:
Dear Super Delegate:
The time has come to face some serious realities. Number one among these realities is that Barrack Obama is not electable. As more and more information comes out about him, the electorate at large, including democrats and independents, are skeptical of him and his mission. Underlying this skepticism is that fact that he is not up to the job of running this country. He is inexperienced at a time when experience and competence is a critical factor. -
The second reality is that Obama did not win the popular vote. The convoluted primary system was played to give him an equal number of delegates to his nearest competitor, but he didn’t really win. That translates into trouble in the general election.
The third reality is that we have a very well qualified candidate who DID win: Hillary Clinton. Recent polls show that she could compete well against John McCain while Obama cannot.
The fourth reality is that the nomination is not settled until the convention. This gives you and all the other super delegates a chance to fix the problems. All you have to do is make up your mind to support Hillary Clinton for president at the convention. This means you have to have guts. This means that you may stand alone, or it may mean that you start a trend in the right direction. Either way, YOU know this is what needs to be done.
Sometimes we stand up for right and are knocked down. Sometimes when we have the courage to stand up for right, others will join us. Sometimes it just takes one or two people to do what is right in a way that can change the world. Are you that one person? Do you have the courage to save this election for our party, and in doing so, save our country?
There are millions of us out here who don’t want to vote for McCain or Nader. If Obama is our party’s nominee, we are going to be forced to make that decision. Having never cast a vote for anyone other than a Democrat for President, I am crushed at the thought that I will not be able to do that this year if Obama is the nominee. I am disgusted with this deceptive man, this unqualifed individual who would be our nation’s leader by any means necessary. You are the key to changing the course of our nation.
One last appeal: Please have the courage to do the right thing by supporting Hillary at the convention and make her the nominee.
Sincerely,
MY Name and state

#238 1gypsy4mc I know I could hear a pin drop as he spoke this morning I don’t think they were impressed with him to much he only got a little clap here and there .McCain got many claps when he was there yesterday and he laughed and joked. BO looked as uncomfortable as heck standing up there I loved it.
Happy birthday Alice and MsBinMD I just sent mine you send it ? I confused.
I’m not sure that an upside down flag means any disrespect, or war, in general.
It certainly FEELS like disrespect to see it upside down, but it really means “extreme distress,” like “HELP!” or S.O.S.
251 1gypsy4mc:
I’m no brain myself. But my intuiton makes up for that. It has protected me well and earned me lots of money solely from investments I know nothing about. That’s why i intuitively think Kaine and Romney will get the nods.
Besides, religious values trumps change without them everytime. McCain and Romney are both more suitable to prudent thinking Americans (which I believe is what a majority still are) in that regard than the radical changes of Obama. He wants his campaign to be ALL about change and Kaine is an Obama clone in that sense. He doesn’t pack much more politically than that… just like Obama.
Change is a gradual process in this world. Always has been, always will be. That’s a constant no ideology can overcome. Nothing happens overnight.
Again… Kaine and Romney. And remember, you read it first from the cerebral keyboard of maxgrader.
Prowl Done
Here’s mine:
Dear Senator Clinton,
What do I want?
I want the nominee who was the one that was willing to continue her rally speech in the pouring rain.
I want the nominee who is the most electable against McCain.
I want the nominee who wants Universal Health Care.
I want the nominee who has never wavered in her support for her constituents, who never refuses to give a moment of her time, no matter which they are, be it race, gender, nationality, age and level of socio-economic status.
I want the most capable nominee to unify our party, not divide as the ‘presumptive’ has done.
I want the nominee who is able to maintain the poise, grace and dignity in spite of the horrific actions that the DNC has caused against her.
I want a Democrat in the Whitehouse, but is must be the most experienced nominee to be our president. And that can only be you.
What do I want?
I want to see the most capable, electable senator win the nomination at the convention and that is you.
Thus, I passionately request that you seriously consider not releasing your delegates, accept the nomination and proceed with your win to the Whitehouse. Anything less than a true democratic process at this convention would be nothing less than a disappointment and a travesty where I will then need to cast my vote for McCain in November.
Good morning from the West Coast PUMAs. Tried to read the posts this morning before posting but trying to work at the same time is impossible.
I was really depressed yesterday, but after listening to Sherry’s radio show from the other night, it snapped me out of the funk and I am ready to roll again.
Composing my letter and then waiting for the next prowl.
#267 kat in your hat- I meant to say that NOTHING barney does is original….
having problems typing today lol….sneaking at work
Have to run out for about 1 hour.
Offer to fax anything still holds( just in case this afternoon is a fax also)
msbpuma at live dot com
Happy Birthday Alice! and all other Augusts that were missed.
220 & 274 and Murphy too..
And thanks, Madlogic.
I understand this is about flip-flopping and the brochure.
Posting a vid (and giving hits to) an anti-choice group is entirely another. I hope the link is deleted.
re brochure:
I have been an activist for choice for 30 years.
During that time I’ve seen some nasty stuff, as you can well imagine.
The anti-choice people like to “grab” bits and pieces of talk points, flyers, and such and twist them whenever they have the opportunity.
This tactic has been used to “parse” abortion rights,
and has helped states pass anti-choice legislation.
The MSM loves this stuff and will help perpetuate the lies-don’t give them this type of ammo!
Again, it’s a complicated issue.
I don’t want to offend anyone or step on anyone’s toes here, just want to share what I’ve seen.
It would really be a drag if a “pro-life” group latched onto something PUMA had printed and used it to scare or alienate people away from this movement.
And it’s been done before!
#294 MsBinMD I’m confused how did you do mine before I send you out the letter for the fax. (hope you get this before you leave).
Happy Birthday Bill Clinton!
269 Asian4Hillary
I just watched the video – did you see those big red PUMA letters???? Wow!! Everyone needs to watch this one. I like Bonnie’s videos – straight to the heart and core of the message! Wow. Another tear jerker!!
antifish -
your letter to senator clinton is beyond belief. just amazing. i was spellbound reading your words and deeply moved. you made your case, and by sharing a bit of your own personal experience and perspective, drove the point home all the more pointedly. in my opinion, you struck such a perfect balance between outlining the big issues while also being deeply personal. that letter is a keeper! i truly cannot find the right words to express how beautiful i think it is and how powerful it is.
thank you for sharing it.
prplvette: lol
The scary thing is that so many Obots will look at the upside down flag, and they will realize it’s a horrible Obama gaffe, and then they will ACT like an upside down flag is appropriate. I am waiting to see just ONE of them defend it, or maybe I’ll drive around later looking for the Obots flipping their flags upside down on their porches like it’s the new cool thing to do.
pfft.

Hmmmm..I’m trying to figure out what I can afford to “lose” ………if you’re right……..you may be right about Kaine, but I don’t think so with Romney….Let me think about this one, ok? Thanks though.
SLYT2
LOL – on the first post I thought it was your letter when it was Bigcatlover’s. That is why I did the second post.
Don’t have PUMA names on some and don’t know who is who.
WOW, now I know what MP means!
269 & 298:
I know, those Native American PUMA videos can be emotional. It’s such a shame Obama was “absent” on the day of the vote for them. He’s such a let down.
One reason we HAVE to be prepared to vote for McCain.
If BO wins “without us” (as his zombies think he will) We (our demographic) will become irrelevant in the Democratic Party. Expect future nominees to be even worse. The zombie takeover will be complete.
If Obama loses, Dean and Obama will be gone from the national scene. The Democratic Party will return to normalcy. Hillary can run again in 2012.
Site is going bazark on me. I am just getting words. Help I know “just words” is not a Puma thing
I need to email someone about a sign design idea
Who and where do I send it to
What do I put in subject line so you don’t throw me out and look at it.
Help!!!!
Max: I am with gypsy….not Romney. Sooooo you don’t think Precious is going to take on Claire From Missouri?

Is it black and says “words”, “words”, etc? Let Maryland Puma know. Trish, myself and another Puma experienced this before – don’t know what it is.
fiona – thanks for your post. i think it touches upon some really important issues, though you are addressing only one, specifically. the broader context for me is that none of us get so desperate or reactive that we get sloppy in our thinking or run to quickly to some other “side” for lack of a better word simply because it’s not bo. i’ve seen posted here “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” and while i think that sounds intriguing, poetic, philosophical, it’s just not necessarily true and can be dangerous thinking. i hope we will all take care in who, what groups, which candidates, which positions, which media outlets, etc we align ourselves with or feel sympatico with simply because they are not bo. they may be no better.
i realize i’ve expanded on your point, and quite possibly well past what you feel yourself. but, you posted sparked this thought which i’ve been having for a while and was simply the catalyst for me to finally post it.
Morning all, was lurking while blogging around the net.

#285 Carrie. How about doing one for the boys?
I was listening to Queens Highlander theme, Princes of the Universe, and thought that would be a very cool song for a male PUMA video. It even has a phrase “bring on th the girls”
You could do a lot with it.
TO everyone who can make it to Denver,go get ‘em. I’ll be there in spirit.
In case you did not see it on the FOX special on Obama last night, they did show the picture of his Indonesian school registration in his other name – the one we have seen from the AP.
# 309 1gypsy4mc
Yes! Yes, but you are fading in and out . Should I call 911 or put you on life support.
Seriously – Sometimes it will refresh ok and then it will go back to “Just Words” again What do I put in subject line so you don’t throw me out and look at it.
Just gave to “signs” in Denver. Whoever can carry them…thanks 18 million plus in advance!
Busy getting ready for the storm this afternoon in Orlando. Keep coming back to read…PUMA power can change anything!!
Opps copied and pasted some of the original message
Prowl completed!
I had already emailed Senator Clinton back yesterday after getting that email from her telling her to stick it to the DNC.
I’m so proud of everyone here – despite everything we’ve been called and threatened with – we’ve stuck together and have REALLY made a difference. I’m unable to be in Denver but I’ll be SOOOOO very proud of all of you who will stand up for me and the 18 million others who believe in democracy. Win or lose (and I still believe we can win) we’ve shown them we won’t just get in line, we can’t be threatened into submission, and we HAVE A VOICE AND IT WILL BE HEARD!
#312 and they showed his religion as Islam. I only watched a little but caught that much.
I thought the whole Islam thing was just a silly smear. Now I am not so sure.
If he was listed as Islam in the school, wouldn’t the school had made allowances for his religious holidays and such?
The Chunky Dunk, a plus size swingers club in WA state, held a naked rally for BO. Now that is funny!
Wolfman: Precious will have staying power even when he does not win the Whitehouse. examples…. Gore, Dean, Kerry, Sharpton and Jackson just to name a few. I do not like this truth…it is what it is. Something earth Shattering will have to come out on him to kick him out of his orbit.

OMG I say that all the time!!
I say I used to skinny dip but now I chunky dunk!
wontbackdown – i think i didn’t express myself well. i wasn’t referring to clinton’s vote. i’m making a general comment, ie, we love fox news, we hate fox news, we love fox news, we have fox news. or, oversimplification of mc cain (and his wife for that matter) even though many of us may well wind up voting for him. i no i won’t be voting for bo, that’s for sure. but i can see among many of us, and i count myself among that group, a desire to take something that normally would be …. ah forget it, i’m wiped out. sorry you misunderstood cause i wasn’t clear.

First away, HI!
I’m sorry, I’m not too familiar with that Missouri gal. That should tell you what I think her chances are. Also… two firsts on the same ticket? That’s TOO historical for one election.
I did see her on Fox on Sunday with Tom Ridge and she seemed… polite.

Please vote in new straw poll
http://news.aol.com/political-machine/2008/08/18/aol-straw-poll-aug-18-25
McCain 76%; Obama 26%
I’m a little puzzled over the excitement over BOs school record in Indonesia. He was a child so he did not fill out that form, his step father (or his mother) did. And possibly to get him enrolled in the school, the stepfather listed his own religion and citizenship. Yes, it shows he did not go by Barack Obama under his stepfather’s roof and I keep hearing that his stepfather adopted him, but haven’t seen proof. Does someone know where that proof can be found?
I’ll be checking back in a bit for the afternoon prowl.

Good get! That’s a huge O-Flip — with plenty of Meet the Press clips of him pledging that, “I will not run in 2008″
In a reversal, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) said Sunday he would be open to a 2008 White House bid–a little more than nine months after he ruled out running for president being on the ticket in the next cycle.
http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2006/10/obama_opens_door_to_2008_run_a.html
LOOK UP AT THREADER!
Headclunker – Geez! Right on. You summed up something so important in a single sentence. Yet one more reason everyone (black, white, brown) should be offended by his constant claims of racism. If you have the time or inclination, you could write a fantastic op-ed or letter to the editor making your argument. Thanks for sharing that perspective. Have you gone over and posted at POC PUMA’s web site as well?
328 michelle47 – that is great. Please post afterwards and let us know how it went.
Sent E-MAILS to All main stream media asking why they haven’t been telling the public about the upside down flag on Obama’s Invesco Tickets.Told them that this is Breaking News. Maybe it will help get the word out.
#340 just words
If you want to see and hear BO making this statement (including him citing his own lack of experience as to why he would not run in 2008), check this out. It has the video of him at the news conference just after he won his senate seat stating why he wouldn’t run:

#326 Anna7000… I am sorry Anna. It is an emotional issue for us all, but I see what you are saying.
I was commenting to TerryDo. Was not trying to get drawn into a discussion about it. I am clear on my position about this issue – have been for a long time.
The flip flop is that BO voted 3 times on this issue: “PRESENT” “AGAINST”, “AGAINST” and now is trying to wiggle out of his HARD STANCE ON THE ISSUE in order to pander to “Conservatives” and the “Pro-Life Votes”.

I am the leader of the Pumas in St. Louis Missouri. Sorry to bother you all during this very busy time. I ordered 300 posters from puma to send to us and a medium red mens t-shirt about 3 weeks ago.

My tummy wrenched hard when I read what Murphy wrote about MO. I don’t understand how so many people could be so infatuated with someone so full of hatred for America and ‘whitefolk’. I am, for sure, NOT part of that ‘everybody’.
Sent my letter to HRC:
Dear Hillary,
I am begging you, as an American and as a woman, not to release your delegates at the convention. You said you would be there for us and we believe you.
You are our champion, and the evil forces that are afoot must not be allowed to take our presidency and nation by their chicanery.

wontbackdown – geez, no need for apologizing at all, but thanks for your post. and, of course, i’m with you on how you feel and what you’re saying. suffice it to say, bo is beyond the pale when it comes to his voting record and his rhetoric on more issues than anyone could keep track of at this point!
AAAARRGGHHHHHHHH!!! (that’s my frustration at the situation, not at you)
#333 BigCatLover The issue with the BC, is that when he was adopted…he became a citizen of Indonesia through adoption which means he cannot be president of the USA except the DNC is looking the other way on this. Even President Clinton made a reference to not denying anyone to run for president as long as they meet the Constitutional requirements. He does not!

I know, for fact, that Obama claiming racism has stirred up a hornet’s nest of resentment. I know many people who say, “ok, fine, I’m not going to vote for him to prove I’m not a racist, when I can vote for someone else and let him keep on thinking I am.” I think he will live to rue the day….

HELP NEEDED
Someone posted earlier in this thread a contact for Ellen Courtney as MECount@aol.com (or at least that’s what I wrote down). But, when I e-mail her, it comes back as undeliverable. I’ve looked up to find the post and can’t find it. I don’t know if I wrote her e-mail address down wrong or if the post has incorrect info. Any and all help would be appreciated.
P.S. I wanted to contact her to see if she had e-mail addresses for pledged delegates, not snail mail, so if anyone knows whether she does or not, that would be helpful to know, as well. If she only has snail mail, than I needn’t contact her.
Thanks!

Now that’s what I call TEAMWORK — I was looking for that link when you posted it. Thanks!
LOTS of energy here today on the side of the angels.
This was in my mailbox from the same newspaper that gave us the rove/brazile connection:
Here’s a link to an article published today that discusses the upcoming Democratic National Convention and the circumstances shrouding the August 13th slaying of Bill Gwatney, who headed the Arkansas delegation. Sen. Clinton won a 44-point victory in Arkansas on Feb. 5th, her biggest margin in the primaries. Because no motive
has been established, the story presents an alternative theory of the crime based on the Manchurian Candidate scenario.

how do we send Bill birthday greetings?
Did my prowls. Went to Staples to send my fax to Hillary. Did not know about MsBinMD’s offer.
Happy Birthday Alice!
Happy Birthday President Bill Clinton!
Gore is speaking on final night of convention.
just words – !!!
i must say, i always wondered why clinton’s campaign, and now mc cain’s, didn’t/hasn’t used that clip for an ad. all it needs is a bit of printed text at the begining and the end and it speaks for itself. or, why the press never just asked the obvious question: “senator obama, back in 2004, you stated that you would not run for president, citing lack of experience. how have you come now to believe you suddenly are qualified?”
AAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH (again)
Damn! That Jim “cheap plug”Lampley announcer for the Olympics just moments ago brought to light two players from the women’s volleyball team that attended the same university in Hawaii as a certain politican.. Barack Obama.
The Olympics are on NBC, I see. That explains getting there guy mentioned on the air like that without charging him a dime.

Hi, all,
Has the schedule of events for Denver been posted yet? If so, where is it?
I am not going, but I want to follow PUMA activities as closely as possble from this end.
Thanks.
NYCgirl
Apologies if this link has already been posted but this article states rather clearly what many, many of us have known for quite some time, who is BO and what exactly has he done to warrant being considered for POTUS? Ah, how about not a lot. Fraud, fraud, fraud. Lots of good stuff there for super delegates to consider before Denver.

Latest Gallup poll has Obama 45%, McCain 44%. Whew, I was worried when I read what Murphy said about Obama taking off in the polls. Apparently, she meant it sarcastically. Sometimes it’s hard to read contest into the written word.
A friendly reminder from Normita’s site, we need to light candles over the next week, we should have over 1,000 burning for her

thanks so very much….I am leaving here on Friday…
LOL, Obama can’t win without Hillary, and prolly not even WITH her.
After these conventions are over, and with only the election on the horizon, I think the Republicans will come out swinging, and after Obama’s campaign, there is no such thing as ‘fair play’ anymore.
377 MountainSong ~~~oops, I meant ‘context’.
storytellers – it’s anybody’s guess how things will turn out. in response to your question, i, for one, think clinton’s chances of coming out of the convention as the nominee are slim to none. but, this movement is about much more than that single hoped for outcome. that said, i think it’s safe to say that we all wish in our heart of hearts for that outcome. though, in my view, it would take a miracle at this point.
hang in there. it’s a nail biter and many of us are feeling very very anxious, scared, worried, nervous, uncertain, hopeful, angry and pretty freaking drained.
mountain song – i agree. i think once the conventions are over and, the mc cain campaign and the gop are going to roll out the tanks, so to speak. the republicans have always been ruthless in the past, and i have no reason to assume they’ll be any less so this year. they will define obama, as they defined kerry and gore. it’s going to get ugly.
Here’s a good article from RCP, outlining clear Obama’s lies. Has the MSM reported this at all???

) we expect this from you already! great video! I “assumed” you were making a video with Pictures of PUMAs also..is that right?
My fax to Hillary;
Dear Senator Clinton,
I writing for a simple request. Please don’t release your delegates. You have worked so hard to win the nominee election. It’s not over yet. We deserve better than Barack Obama as our next president.
I am so proud of you. You’ve made a huge impact on my life whether you know it or not.
See, I suffer from panic attacks. Put me in a crowd and I have the feeling of “flight”. I wanted so bad to see you when you were campaigning at Cleveland State University. In my wildest dreams I never thought it possible.
Guess what, I prayed and relied on my faith to get me to Cleveland.
Guess what, I was first in line.
Guess what, I was first in the door!
Guess what, I was right in front of you as you spoke!
Guess what, I relied on “my faith” to get me through that day!
I put aside my fears and made it through the day which was a real conquest for me.
Hillary, I didn’t give up. I figured that this might me a once in a lifetime opportunity for me to see you in person. I’m so glad I worked through my fears. Your a beautiful person, so sincere in your speaking.
Your probably thinking what does this really have to do with you. I just wanted you to know that you made me stronger that day. I faced my fears that day.
I want what’s best for our country. I want you as the next President of the United States. You are the better choice. The democratic party has failed me and millions of other voters.
Hillary, I’m asking you to use your faith as I did. Never give up or doubt yourself. Please, keep your delegates. I believe the delegates will come to realize that many did not make the right choice in “selecting” Barack Obama.
I believe…in you. Your heart is in the right place.
Thank you once again for making our United States a better place to live.
Debbie XXXXX
PUMA democrat
Keeping the faith.
Anna, mountainsong, you are both so right. Hillarys one huge mistake in the primaries was allowing “O” to define himself. The repubs won’t make the same mistake.
“O” is doomed.
Sunshine
Yes I am! I am posting all day to get pics of all of the Pumas that want to be in the video. Then I am going to put it together!
I am so excited about it! I am already getting some great pics and messages from Pumas!
My husband made the remark that he thought and hopes that Hillary will “go for the gold” at the convention because he feels that this is her year- her TIME -and that she needs to grasp the gold ring NOW– because the DNC will have someone newer, younger, in 2012 and STILL won’t support her. I think he may be right!
#388 bythelake..Great letter to Hillary….I admire your courage…You are a true Puma!!
by the lake – what an incredibly touching letter. and what a mounntain you overcame. more power to you on all fronts!
it is incredible to see how busy all of you are! I feel useless much of the time! BUT very glad to do my prowls..I am off to the library to send my fax!
Morning prowl done.
What’s the best way to reach Bill to wish him a happy b’day and send a puma message?

I suspect Hillary was already back on her heels, due to NObo’s proactive accusations of racism, to use his own words against him. Wish she had.
No reason to believe that the McCain folks aren’t holding this back for the GE, should The Messiah come out on top in Denver — it would be very powerful to bring out when everyone is paying attention.
ANTIFISH WROTE WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE AN EXCEPTIONAL LETTER TO SENATOR CLINTON (see post #150 for the full text). HERE IS AN EXCEPRT THAT I FEEL IS WORTHY OF RE-POSTING FOR ANYONE INTERESTED:
“Second, as a woman, what message does this send? I watched how hard you worked during the primary, Senator. I saw the drive and determination, the tenacity and unending dedication you brought to this process. It reminded me of my own struggle to achieve the rank of Sergeant Major in the Army. I know firsthand how tough it is to compete in a traditionally male field. The thing is, Senator, you were virtually tied at the end of this contest. Now, women all over America who watched the same epic struggle I did are being told, yes, you can compete, but no, at the end, you must just step back, be quiet, and let the less qualified male have the glory. I totally reject that. We women have worked too hard for equal rights to see such a travesty unfolding before our very eyes. Please stand up for us.”

ACTION: Contact Those Delegates NOW!
by: Alegre
Tue Aug 19, 2008 at 10:34:12 AM EDT
I can’t stress this enough you guys – it’s vital that we take action right now. The delegates and super delegates are starting to see movement back toward Hillary (Gov. Rendell) and many are taking a fresh look at her as our nominee. We have got to contact them to respectfully ask that they back her as the only Democrat who will beat McCain in November, and take back the White House for the people.
Seriously – what are you waiting for? If we don’t get this done NOW, when exactly will we? If you don’t think Chicago’s burning up the phone lines right now to try to keep the damn from bursting wide open then think again. We can’t sit silently by while the delegates only hear from BHO’s supporters.
Many delegates are making their decisions right now. A respectful and upbeat call or an email from you could be just what’s needed to put them firmly in Hillary’s camp. Make it about Hillary and remind them that she’s the one we need if we truly want to win back the White House in November.
I am, as always, in complete awe of Ricki Lieberman’s drive and determination in helping to put Hillary up and over the top in Denver. She’s a force of nature and if any of you ever waiver in your faith that we can make this happen, all you need to do is read a few of her electability watch emails. Here’s some information from her latest – I want each and every one of you to start hitting the phones to your pledged delegates and your super delegates.
And while you’re at it – give Gov. Rendell’s office a call and tell him how grateful you are for his courage and leadership in backing Hillary on that roll call vote in Denver.

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
just words – yup. this is something i had and continue to have mixed feelings about. obama kept accusing the clintons (plural) of racism, which one could argue boxed hillary into a corner. on the other hand, she could have continued to push back against it. i e-mailed her constantly when i felt she made missteps in judgement that left me, as a loyal supporter, feeling less than enthused. ah well, she made the choices she did. no doubt, she regrets some and would do others all over again exactly the same way. such is life. politics is probably not the arena to hope or expect a great deal of backbone and integrity! she’s probably shown a lot more than most. too much, though, and you wind up out on the fringes, kicked out of the club. people don’t like it when others speak truth to power. it’s tough to do and can have devastating consequences. at the end of the day, i feel one must be able to live with themselves. but for politicians, it seems the rule that trumps that is more the spirit of, wanting to be able to live with oneself, but not at the expense of sacrificing, or risking sacrifice, of one’s power. that’s why i feel, power inevitably corrupts as those who seek or gain or acquire power start to slide down that slippery slope of compromises in character, judgement, integrity, decisions, etc.
LOL Texas you know me better than that!! Of course there will be a picture of you!! I was going to use the one of you and I doing the running man in our feety pajamas!
j/k maybe…
LOL snow Im used to it hehehe
Gallup Poll today
Nobo 45%
McCain 44%
I predict nobo’s numbers will drop even more over the next several days.

Make sure you get the end code-tag (after the text you want bold) right. If you mess it up (or omit it) the rest of the text in your post will become bold.
So.. Here are all the code-tags (and exactly what you would type) for making any text BOLD:

Morning Pumas!
Lordy there is a lot going on in here today!
CONTACT SD’S:
http://www.lobbydelegates.com/
Everyone, lobby delegates has been so kind in keeping their service up and running long after they normally would have shut it down, mainly because there continued to be so much activity and need (primarily from Clinton supporters). It’s an incredible service, easy to use, and costs next to nothing. All they ask for is a $5 donation if you can. This is the last push. While those going to Denver are preparing for their trip, the rest of us back home can keep lobbying and advocating. It’s be a shame to look back in a week and regret we hadn’t sent off one more round. We can do it now!
Also, if I’m not mistaken, MSM ownership is largely Republican and I expect to see a shift away from Obama. I know for sure that the Republican Party is far stronger than alot of people are paying attention to right now. I wouldn’t even be surprised if they monitor our sites, research the negatives about Obama on a level we cannot, and will use them all.
Rumor has it that Rudy Giuliani has the infamous “Whitey” tape of MO’s, and will bring it out after the Republican convention.
And….if people have paid any attention at all to Bush & company over the last 8 years, they might consider that influence on the outcomes.
I really believe that, as exciting as things have been since the primaries, we haven’t seen anything yet….and neither has Precious.
Prowl to Hillary is finally done!
My letter was pretty long, poured my heart out and included this:
Please Hillary, let us all work behind the scenes to nominate you as our President and do not ‘iron Obama’s shirt’ at the convention by giving up your delegates for any reason. We respect, admire and support you. We have your back!
If anyone is too tired to write one more letter, I have a lot I would be more than happy to share. Just give a shout out with an obvious heading. Make it clear if you want one for an SD or a pledged delegate.
Feinstein just broke her ankle and won’t attend the convention (breaking news on Denver Post website)

Invesco’s top seats go to big donors
SUITES, CLUB LEVEL SAVED FOR FUNDRAISERS, VIPs
By Chuck Plunkett and Elizabeth Aguilera
The Denver Post
Article Last Updated: 08/19/2008 01:22:11 AM MDT
Flava Flav of Public Enemy (Bryan Bedder, Getty Images)Barack Obama’s big-money donors are being offered premier seats to his acceptance speech at Invesco Field at Mile High, according to information obtained by The Denver Post.
Top fundraisers for the “Obama Victory Fund” were offered club-level seats through the end of Monday for $1,000 apiece. Also, the biggest donors to the Democratic National Convention’s host committee and select VIPs are getting ultra-plush suites at Invesco.
The Obama campaign and its partners at the Democratic National Convention Committee have 8,300 club-level seats. If all were purchased, it could mean a cash infusion of $8.3 million.
But a senior adviser to the campaign, Jenny Backus, said not all club-level seats will go to donors. Backus declined to say how many will be available to the public.
“This is a very small number of seats,” Backus said of the donor package.
The club-level-ticket information came in an e-mail sent by an Obama campaign finance director for Colorado and Nevada to “bundlers” and supporters, such as Federico Peña, the national co-chairman for Obama’s campaign and a former Denver mayor; Willie Shepherd, a Denver lawyer and host committee member; and almost 40 others.
Bundlers are fundraisers who collect money from large groups of donors. They target individuals who can give up to $4,600 to be divided between Obama’s primary race and the general election race, as is required by law. Beyond that, an individual can donate up to $28,500 to the Democratic National Committee.
Obama switched from the Pepsi Center to Invesco to make room for tens of thousands of grassroots supporters. The campaign set aside half of the public seats for Coloradans, and more than 80,000 have signed up for the roughly 30,000 seats.
“A thousand dollars? It’s too expensive,” said Sue Adams of unincorporated Arapahoe County. She only learned Monday evening that she had secured free tickets from the Obama campaign for her son, Zachary, and her husband.
“I know what $2,000 can do in the mission field,” Adams said, saying she would rather spend the money for Zachary and his dad to travel with a missionary group to Sierra Leone this winter.
“That’s going to make a difference in the world,” Adams said. “If (Obama) can’t get elected based on who he is and what he stands for, then what’s the point of spending all this money?”
Separately, almost all of the 131 private luxury suites, which seat from 14 to 20 people, are being granted to big donors and party officials. Corporations such as Xcel Energy and MolsonCoors, which have donated more than $1 million to the Denver committee hosting the convention, have been granted suites. So have party VIPs including Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, Gov. Bill Ritter and Sen. Ken Salazar, who have served the host committee as fundraisers.
Invesco management has kept fewer than 15 suites for its own use or because its contracts with the owners require that the boxes go dark during special events.
The extra space means the host committee can offer extra perks and use them to reach out to additional donors.
Last week, members of the public collected their free so-called community credentials. Many of those getting tickets were asked to volunteer for the privilege, but the campaign hasn’t yet released the percentages.

Those numbers are darned close.
I really do not pay any attention to the polls since I think that Senator McCain and the Republican party are “just coasting” for now.
They are pacing themselves for big push after the conventions.
Read in the news yesterday that as we all could imagine, the DNC is choreographing like made for the Obama’s to appear like regular Joe’s, ma and pa next door. I guess Ayers, Wright, Farrakhan, Khalidi and all the rest will be staying home for this one, not featured on stage. And I would imagine they won’t be playing Ludacris’s latest tune describing Clinton as a “bitch who is irrelevant”.
AAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH AND GGGRRRRRRRRR!
<b<Let’s give a big WOOT to Governor Rendell
717-787-2500
Last time I checked the pols, they were based on the belief that 6% of republicans will vote for “O.
Please. Does anyone actually believe that?
Add at least four to McCain.
Hi Folks!!
It’s hit and run for me today. I am really swamped at work. Still took time to do the prowl though (along with emailing everyone I can think of whom can affect(sp) the outcome at the convention).
Regardless of what happens at the convention (I’m praying for the best), I am really proud to be a part of PUMA PAC. I will be with those of you going in spirit.
And if you all get locked up, remember the calvary reserves are just a blog away. We will come get you.
Does anyone know if that mile high stadium is all outdoors, of if it has a roof? If outdoors, has anyone checked the weather for the date that may become p.o. (instead of a.d.)?!*
Another thing that weighs very heavily on my mind is…….
If anyone has ever had any experience raising livestock, then you know they keep the male population thinned out.
World populations have obviously reach critical mass and, wars being a natural ‘thinning’ process since the beginning of time, greater warfare than we have seen in 50 years may be a very likely possibility, even before the election.
Other ‘powers that be’ don’t think an Obama presidency would be favorable to them. Russia, for one, has no reason to fear us unless we launch a nuclear weapon….again. Which we probably wont do. But Pakistan has nukes, as does India, and Israel doesn’t need the permmission of the USA to attack Iran.
Alot can happen between now and November and,as important as these coming elections may be, I am reminding myself to live my life one day at a time, being ever grateful for the blessings I enjoy NOW!

Parties skirt gift rules, plan lavish conventions
By Brody Mullins and Elizabeth Williamson
The Wall Street Journal
Article Last Updated: 08/18/2008 07:23:33 PM MDT
WASHINGTON — When the Democratic Party holds its convention the week after next, members of Congress will be able to hear singer Kanye West at an all-expenses paid party sponsored by the recording industry.
They can play in a poker tournament with Ben Affleck, courtesy of the poker industry. They can try to hit a home run at Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies, thanks to AT&T Corp. Free drinks and cigars will be on offer at a bash thrown by the liquor industry.
The corporate largesse is on tap despite new ethics laws and rules that both chambers of Congress adopted in 2007, aimed at weakening the links between lawmakers and lobbyists. Spearheaded by the Democratic Party, the ethics effort included an attempt to ban corporations and lobbyists from throwing lavish parties for members at the national political conventions.
But in the months since the new rules took effect, lawmakers have watered down the guidelines, and Capitol Hill and K Street have teamed up to find ways to find ways around the guidelines as written. Politicians and lobbyists are now preparing about 400 of the biggest parties — both at the Democratic gathering in Colorado and when Republicans convene the following week in St. Paul — that conventioneers have ever seen.
“Despite a slight chilling effect, the types of events you can hold really hasn’t changed very much,” says Elliot Berke, a Washington campaign-finance and ethics lawyer. “It’s just a question of adhering to the new guidance.” The ethics rules that legislators drafted for themselves in response to the law sought in principle to ban lawmakers and their staff from accepting gifts, meals, trips or tickets from lobbyists and from corporations that employ lobbyists. But they also included dozens of exceptions.
The rules don’t apply to charitable fundraisers. So lawmakers and aides are free to play in a poker tournament sponsored by the Poker Players Alliance. Funding for the event and charitable contributions come from the alliance and various other sponsors.
Because proceeds will go to the Paralyzed Veterans of America, the poker lobby can pick up the tab for the event and attend along with about 200 poker celebrities, lawmakers, aides and delegates. Guests will be given $5,000 worth of chips for the four-hour tournament, with the winnings going to the veterans group. A spokeswoman for the alliance says the event complies with the law.
Another popular party exemption is the so-called “widely-attended” event clause. Under that rule, corporations can pick up the tab for parties if they meet two conditions. One is that at least 25 people invited are not members of Congress or staff. The second condition, which applies only to House members: The party must have some element that relates to official congressional business.
So when the Recording Industry Association of America decided to throw the Kanye West party, it teamed up with the One Campaign in order to promote solutions to global AIDS and poverty. Literature on the topic will be available at the event and several speakers will address poverty relief before the concert.
“The truth is the ethics changes haven’t affected our parties very much,” said Jonathan Lamy, a spokesman for the trade association.
Likewise, when the Distilled Spirits Council throws the “Spirits of Denver,” party goers will hear a brief presentation on how to prevent underage drinking.
The council also is adapting to another new rule that forbids gifts for anything more than “nominal” value — a phrase interpreted as under $10. (Under the old rules, anything worth up to $50 was acceptable.) People who attend the spirits party will get the traditional gift bag with cigars from Rocky Patel Premium Cigar Company. But the cigars will be lower-grade than in previous years.
“We want to showcase our fine products and be 100 percent within the rules and the law,” says Frank Coleman, the spokesman for the distilled spirits industry.
Lawmakers and aides who attend the Republican convention will be treated to their own set of concerts and bashes. A conservative organization run by former Rep. Tom DeLay is throwing a concert at the Aqua Nightclub in Minneapolis with Smash Mouth. Mr. DeLay has made the event a fundraiser for his organization, the Coalition for a Conservative Majority, and thus aides say it complies with the law.
Parties like this weren’t supposed to happen at this year’s conventions. On the first day Democrats took control of Congress in 2007, they introduced legislation and new rules banning or forcing broader disclosure of a range of campaign contributions, travel, gifts and meals given to lawmakers by corporations and the lobbyists they employ.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California called it the Democrats’ signal effort to “drain the swamp.” Breaking the ties between lobbyists and lawmakers was necessitated, Democratic lawmakers said, by a host of scandals under the Republican-run Congress.
Brendan Daly, a spokesman for Rep. Pelosi, said Congress made progress by banning parties at conventions in honor of specific members, but acknowledged that people have found ways around that rule. “If those parties prove to be a problem, then we can revisit it when we do the ethics rules next year.” Tommy Vietor, a spokesman for Democratic Sen. Barack Obama, said Sen. Obama wants to change the way the conventions are funded, but wasn’t able to do so this year “due to the very late end to the primary season.” The McCain campaign declined to comment.
The convention parties are the latest examples of how lawmakers and lobbyists have been finding ways to skirt such rules since they were passed. Faced with a ban on giving tickets to pricey charity events directly to lawmakers, corporations have in recent months been buying tickets at hundreds of dollars apiece, then donating them back to the sponsoring charity to give away — along with a list of lawmakers the companies wish to attend.
Corporations and trade groups say that they are paying strict attention to the letter of the new law. In preparation for the conventions, their lobbyists and lawyers have been presenting convention party plans to the House and Senate ethics committees, seeking an official nod on their legality. Lawmakers too have been seeking published guidance from their colleagues on those committees for acceptable convention-time behavior.
That guidance has so weakened Congress’s own curbs on convention parties that some ethics experts say the parties are potentially more lavish now than they were in 2004.
The new thicket of rules has “had the effect of making people more thoughtful and more careful,” says Robert L. Walker, a former chief counsel to both the House and Senate ethics committees and now an attorney with Wiley Rein LLP. “But at the end of the day, the application and interpretation of those rules … may allow a fairly significant amount of entertainment at most of these events.” Take the new rules banning parties that honor a specific lawmaker. Ethics committees for the House and Senate have helped lobbyists and corporate sponsors by issuing loose interpretations of that rule for the conventions. Neither committee commented for this story.
The House is allowing corporations to fete a group of individuals — even if the group consists entirely of lawmakers.
That will allow dozens of companies to throw a late-night “Blue Night in Denver” party for the 47 fiscally conservative House Democrats who belong to the Blue Dog Coalition.
“That is flatly absurd,” said Craig Holman, government-affairs lobbyist at Public Citizen, a nonpartisan government watchdog group. The Blue Dog Coalition could not immediately be reached for comment.
Public Citizen has recruited a couple of delegates at each convention to monitor the bashes and check for fudging on the rules. It said it intends to seek complaints against any infractions.
At both conventions, lawmakers and aides will be able to take advantage of a number of loopholes to see some great shows.
One of the top events at the democratic convention will be a Black Eyed Peas concert sponsored by The Creative Coalition, a group of stars that describes itself on its Web site as the “social and political advocacy organization for the entertainment industry.” The Creative Coalition regularly sends Hollywood actors such as Alec Baldwin and Susan Sarandon to Washington to lobby for increased funding for the arts and to defend against legislative attempts to impose broadcast limits on violence and obscenity. It is throwing parties at the Republican convention as well, including one headlined by the Charlie Daniels Band.
Even so, the organization doesn’t fall under the ban on bashes sponsored by lobbyists. None of the people who advocate for it spend more than 20 percent of their time doing so, the threshold that would require them to formally register as “lobbyists.” Therefore, the Creative Coalition is free to party at the convention

#375 NYCGirl
#381 athyrio
No schedule yet. We’re trying to get a combined schedule of events for the PUMA Den, TheRise2008, WomenCount.org and 18MillionVoices.
Things are changing minute by minute and I’m desperately trying to keep up with them.
We will send the schedule out as soon as we have it.
OK. I’m in no financial position to make financial challenges. But I challenge anyone to send one more letter to the SD’s. It could go to all of them, at best, or you could focus on just the one’s in your state, or, you could focus on clinton supporters to shore up their supprt, etc.
1st BO didn’t say the Pledge with his hand over his heart;
Then he didn’t wear the flag pin;
Then he did wear the flag pin when he was forced into it;
Then he had a new seal made up for himself;
Then he said there were 57 states in the US(confused with the 57 Islamic states)
Then he had the flag painted over on his plane;
Then he told a 7 yr. old that he ws running for POTUS because America was going downhill.
Then he printed Invesco tickets with an upsidedown flag.
His campaign says the flag isn’t upsidedown, it’s not a flag, just background for his shirt,
Then it’s a flag but it’s just blowing in the wind.
Now, how can a flag, no matter how it’s flown, unfurl from the top-where it is held stationary?
There are far too many indications that BO is un-American. I hope someone calls him on it…oh, one of these days.
Bwahahaha!
New poll coming out today which sounds bad for BO:
Which White House contender had the better summer?
A new Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll of registered voters across the country leaves little doubt about the answer.
We can’t reveal the precise figures yet; for that, check back at LATimes.com about 2 p.m. PDT (5 p.m. EDT). Suffice to say that the results will not alter the perception that — given a seemingly sunny political climate for Democrats — Barack Obama is under-performing nationally.

Agree with you on the corrupting nature of politics — we are a long way from Plato’s ideal of only those people who could be qualified as Philospher Kings (or Queens) being entrusted with the State.
One additional point on Hillary not being willing/able to punch back hard at the Obama accusations: Unlike a male opponenet, Hillary was constantly held to a higher and restricting standard of gentility, because she is a woman. Double standard? Like fighting with one hand tied behind her back? Sure was!
I respect your passion, but am willing to bet that some of Hillary’s civility was imposed by her handlers, based on a concern that strong responses would be immediately labeled as “shrill”…
…I wil see you an AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHH and raise you an AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGHHHH!!
(wink)
There are so many talking points in today’s thread alone. Easy to put together a letter to delegates. Doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Could go to some. We all do our best. One more push, as much as we can do.
The convention will give O a big boost, providing Hillary doesn’t steal his thunder. Then comes McCain and a bump for him. After that, its anyone’s game.

Good afternoon PUMAS, happy birthday Alice! Finished my Prowl. Everyone going to Denver stay safe. You all are so lucky. Are the new Puma Denver shirts going to be for sale to us not going? I should would like to donate for one!

I second that!

I think the convention will boost his ‘messiah’ message to his followers, other than that I think it will backfire on him.
it’s scary to think that there are actually people out there who would vote Obama because of clowns like kanye west and ben affleck..
…
I guess david axelrod is expecting a payoff from the dumbing down of america..
what kind of moron would vote for Obama because of ben affleck and kanye west?
just words – i agree, though what’s so wierd is that, in general, anyone who’s not a white male has to be better, faster, higher, etc. that includes blacks. so it’s so amazing how obama managed to turn that around so that didn’t appear to apply to him. in fact, quite the opposite. sometimes i feel like hillary got a double heap of the double standard – she got what comes to women AND she got the share that normally would have been dumped on obama.
yes, i agree. when you’re in the one-down position (per societies perspective, not based on any truth), you get boxed into tight corners and choices get so much more complex because of it. for the most part, i feel like it’s usually a no-win situation, damned if you do, damned if you don’t. if a woman comes out sounding strong and confident, she’s too aggressive, too bold; but if she’s demure, soft spoken, gracious, she’s not strong enough, too delicate, etc.
if clinton came across the way obama does, i truly beleive she wouldn’t have made it as far as she did because she would have been perceived as too soft.

Remember “Obama Girl”?… That hit rock You-tube video that helped galvanize a lot of youth toward BO?
Well, now we have “Nobama Girl“!!!
(Though the video is all about why we shouldn’t vote for BO, it is pro-McCain… But if Hillary doesn’t emerge as the nominee, it’s another cool tool at our disposal!)
Here’s “Nobama girl”:

Add one more fax to the Puma heap!
I have a suggestion for a prowl…..targeting Hispanic leaders and organizations.
Years ago I was involved in the Mt St Helen’s Restoration Reforestation project. I had the opportunity to work with a man from durango, Mexico. One day he toldme, “Ashleigh, do you know why America never has to worry about being invaded by Mexico again?”
“Ok, why Pedro?” He laughed, and replied, “Because we already have. And we never fired a shot.”
There is much truth to his words if we look at the changing demographics, especially of Ca and the southwest. They are a huge voting block.
Mountain Song – Go for it. Start googling and follow through on your idea!!!
Were are you sending a birthday card to Bill? I want to also include the letter I sent to Hillary.
Email or fax #??????????
Obama is NOT the kind of man most Hispanics would respect or idolize.

And it is an ongoing offer for any faxing.
Save that money and send it to PUMA!
#413 Anna700 I’m using lobbydelegates.com right now and have a letter I composed. I could probably use another one to send in my husband’s name. So far today I have done FL OH PA MA CA & MI, all of Clinton’s, Obama’s and uncommitted.
Ricki Lieberman sent me addresses for literally hundreds of pledged delegates but, frankly, I don’t have the time to go looking up all those people. It’s overwhelming for me as I have sick animals which require medication and special food and also, I am in Florida.
you can email me at prowlhawkke at gee mail thankx

Does anyone know what Obama’s perspective is on border issues, especially our southern borders? Or of Hillary and McCain?

re#447
you have a good take on the Hispanics..
I live in an area heavily Hispanic and even though I am not I have admiration for their culture..
they along with the Asians are the “rising stars” in america and have already surpassed blacks in many ways including purchasing power,entrepreneurship and business enterprises..
here in California Hispanics are an economic force and have total sales,receipts and wages..8 times that of black enterprise!!
Hispanics tend to embrace conservative culture especially a deep belief in the family..
i agree with you..
Anna, I love your letters. I planning on sending out more emails after I get off work. I will look to see if you put one.
Gotta run now.

Apologies if this is not new news.
From Andy Martin author of “Obama: The Man Behind The Mask”
His 8-15 blog is about PUMA & the recent PUMA conference.
———————-
He goes into all the PUMA ‘talking points’ including the unfair Caucus system:
“…the process by which Barack Obama claimed the nomination, namely a skewed delegate system that underweights big states and overweights small states, is a disgrace to democracy. The caucus system is rife with corruption and cronyism. There is no way Obama would have won in a race where Ohio and Pennsylvania had the proportional impact with Idaho and Kansas. The current proportional allocation system leads to an undemocratic and disproportionate result. There will be reform of the Democratic Party; PUMA activists could help spearhead it.”

SD LETTER FOR ANYONE TO USE:
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – -
I am writing to you as a lifelong Democrat and as one who is deeply concerned that we nominate the strongest candidate at the convention. It is my belief that Senator Clinton is by far and away the stronger candidate for numerous reasons.
Senator Clinton has the necessary experience. Senator Obama does not.
Senator Clinton has a track record of being a unifier in Congress, finding common ground and making compromises, which is the only way things can get done. That said, she also knows when to stand her ground. Conversely, Senator Obama has a track record of digging in or not voting.
Senator Clinton does not have a history of affiliating herself with questionable characters. Senator Obama, on the other hand, has an established history of affiliating himself with some questionable characters, including convicted felons and terrorists.
Senator Clinton has been tested and vetted. Senator Obama has only just begun to get a taste of how the Republicans will define him. He will not stand up to their scrutiny. The polls already show what a difficult time Senator Obama is having in establishing and maintaining any kind of a commanding lead over John McCain and the Republicans haven’t even begun to fight.
Senator Clinton won the popular vote and she won key states the Democrats must win to carry the election in November. Senator Obama won states that traditionally go to Republicans. In addition, many of his wins were in caucus states where voter turn out was low and the context of a caucus has got to be the most undemocratic notions I can conceive of.
Senator Clinton won even while being significantly outspent by Senator Obama. And she continued to win in the face of highly biased media and a DNC that did not stand up for her when the press repeatedly maligned her.
While it may seem there is enormous momentum to nominate Senator Obama, it is not inevitable. The ultimate outcome lies in your hands. This is not the time to participate in group think or be afraid to speak truth to power. Now, more than ever, with so many serious problems ahead of us, we need a nominee who can beat John McCain in the general election and who can lead this country through the tough times we face.
The office of the President of the United States is an awesome position and these are dangerous times. We cannot afford to have a neophyte in office cutting his teeth on the job at our expense.
I urge you to vote for Senator Clinton at the Democratic National Convention. She is our best hope.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter with respect and consideration.
#414 HALLIGAN I just called Diane Feinstein’s office and asked about her delegate vote. Feinstein probably won’t be at the convention but is sending one in her place. I asked that she cast her vote for Hillary. I gave her my FL zip and my son’s zip in CA.

Good afternoon all! New here.
Just wondering what all of you tell people that say by supporting HRC even after the primaries are over just hurts the American people by assuring a John McCain victory? Most democrats I know that supported Hillary are now supporting Obama in Virginia.
What do you tell them?
SD LETTER FOR ANYONE TO USE:
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - — – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - — -
I am writing to you as a lifelong Democrat, as a Hillary Clinton supporter and a concerned American citizen. If you are a Clinton supporter, thank you. If you are an Obama supporter, thank you in advance for reading my letter and for your consideration. If you are undecided, I urge you to place your support behind Senator Clinton.
Being deeply involved this election cycle, I have been outraged by the litany of misguided, misinformed and manipulative actions by the media, the DNC and the Obama campaign which resulted in a distortion of Senator Clinton’s image in the public’s mind, at best. At worst, there have been back room deals that have threatened the very fabric of our democracy.
Senator Obama’s nomination should not be inevitable. The ultimate selection of the Democratic nominee hinges on 1) all delegates being seated at the convention and having their rightful vote, and 2) superdelegate’s votes.
As a Superdelegate, I urge you to support Senator Clinton. She is by far and away not only the most qualified candidate, but she is also the candidate who does not have a history of cocaine abuse, affiliations with hate mongers (Wright, Farrakhan), criminals (Rezko) and terrorists (Ayers, Khalidi) along with a propensity to minimize those relationships. Nor does she have a history of neglecting thousands of constituents suffering in dilapidated pubic housing while simultaneously becoming aligned with the slumlord of those buildings. Her voting record is impeccable, compared to Senator Obama’s which is pitifully short and shows no proof of being the “unifier” that he claims to be (in fact quite the opposite). Senator Obama also has a poor grasp of history, a dangerously naïve view of national security and foreign policy, a campaign strategy rooted in ruthless Chicago politics, and a profoundly confused platform that appears to shift and switch and flip-flop by the day. One can only wonder: Who is this man and what does he stand for?
This election should be a no-brainer. We don’t nominate individuals with one year of experience in Congress (the rest of the term has been spent campaigning) and the kind of history that Barack Obama has. It is simply not done, and for good reason. Let’s not start now.
Clinton has spent 35 years of her life as a public servant. She is wildly intelligent with a mind boggling grasp of national and international policy. She has a breadth and depth of experience worthy of the job description of POTUS. She has a history in Congress of both reaching across the isle to get things done and holding her ground when she felt it necessary. She has a brilliantly articulated platform and has garnered support from all quarters. She won the popular vote. She won the key states Democrats must win in order to win in the general election. She won when she was outspent by Obama many times over. She won despite a relentless onslaught of negative media that was not deserved. She won without the DNC speaking out when she was the victim time and again of misogyny. She is smart, capable, strong, and resilient. She has been vetted and survived.
She will be our next President if you do your part. With this letter, I am doing mine.

I believe that the school records do prove a point. After all, when your parents enroll you in school and put down your religion, it is usually theirs and the one you grow up practicing. For XO to state he was never a Muslim is a lie as he did not become a Christian until later in life. I believe he still clings to his Muslim, Marxist faith.
THIS IS SOMETHING I WROTE THAT I PRINT ON THE BACK OF FLIERS. IT’S NOT GOOD TO GO AS A LETTER TO SD’S, BUT THE SPIRIT OF THE BODY OF IT MAY BE A STARTING POINT FOR ANYONE INTERESTED:
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – -
As the old saying goes, “Don’t talk about politics or religion.” I suppose this is said because we feel so impassioned about our views. For someone to be open and listening during such sensitive discussions seems to be the exception and not the rule. So, with that in mind, ask yourself:
· Is it ok to nominate for President of the United States a man with virtually no experience on the national or international stage?
· Do you find that it is in line with your moral standards that we nominate someone who found it acceptable to remain an active member of a church that espoused not only hateful rhetoric, but which elevated Louis Farrakhan to great heights, Farrakhan having gone on record as thinking Hitler was a “great man”.
· Is it fine with you that we nominate an individual who has a history of associating himself with a coterie of criminals and/or terrorists?
· And, if the above is alright with you, is it also ok that the man we nominate minimizes or claims innocence about these relationships?
· Are you comfortable with nominating someone who has shifted their position on so many issues in such a short amount of time that it is unprecedented for a Presidential candidate?
· Can you ignore the fact that we nominate a person who, as a state senator, avoided controversial issues by voting “present” a disproportionately frequent number of times?
· Do you care if we nominate someone who, as a state senator, ignored the plight of impoverished individuals and families, most of whom were African American, living in deplorable, sub-standard housing conditions in his congressional district?
· Should the above be alright with you, is it also ok that the nominee would have befriended the very person who was the slumlord of those housing units, and that he should accept seed money from this now convicted criminal in order to kick start his campaign?
· Do you feel it shows integrity to make a commitment to an adored colleague and friend by the name of Alice Palmer and then break your word, obliterating her name from the ballot?
· Are you comfortable with a nominee who professes to stand for change while reversing his decision on crucial issues like FISA and off shore drilling, while also expressing a desire to expand Bush’s faith-based initiatives?
· And what of nominating a man for President who during a press conference after winning his senate seat, tells the press corps and the American public, that he will not run for President, citing lack of experience, who then proceeds to run for President?
If you answered “no” to any of these questions or had even a murmur of self-doubt, TODAY, you can be exceptional by doing the thing we humans find it hard to do – reassess our stance, face challenging discrepancies between our values and our positions, and show unusual courage and bravery by privately and then perhaps openly acknowledging that a mistake has been made and a new day is here.
Just reading through the posts… and here are some comments to earlier threads:
#127 greenfun thanks for posting that link. I’ve been dying to see the video on the famous push hug everyone was talking about between HRC and Richardson and your article link had a video link inside the story. Thanks so much for posting it.
#157 TrishfromCanada –Two faces of Bo –Very nice work.
#210 Fiona — I agree with you about this topic being a distraction. I personally would prefer not entering a debate on that one. I don’t even click on the links that have been posted on the topic. I prefer to keep my eye on the doughnut (not the hole) and reform the Democratic Party to preserve democracy, as well as working towards ensuring HRC is our nominee.
THANKS ANNA7000
Trish – I e-mailed you as soon as I saw your post asking me to, but haven’t heard back. Did you get my e-mail? If not, you know how to find me, too. I will need to leave my house for most of the afternoon, so if there’s something you need, get in touch with me stat or else I’ll be gone until later.

I have no doubt obama has some deep muslim and marxist ideals that he is hiding from american voters..
i would respect obama much more if at least he was honest and admitted his true beliefs and ideals instead of lying and defrauding the public
Picked this from the recent polls:

Former Presidential hopeful and Delaware Senator Joe Biden is the frontrunner in the Democratic Vice Presidential sweepstakes. Indiana Senator Evan Bayh is a distant second.
49% Say Hillary Likely to Overshadow Obama at Convention
Nearly half of U.S. voters (49%) think it is at least somewhat likely that Hillary Clinton will overshadow the Democrats’ presumptive presidential nominee Barack Obama at the party’s national political convention next week. Twenty-three percent (23%) say it is Very Likely
Also ##101 ladyhawkke
I left a comment on the link you provided for the organization asking the opinions of which candidate to support. Here’s what I wrote to them:
~~~~~~~~
I have been following all the candidates closely. The amount of information that has been revealed to me on Senator Obama is not only alarming, but downright scary. I’m incredibly angered that there are no true journalist in the main stream media that will report the truth on this candidate, but that’s another topic. I can certainly guarantee that any endorsement or connection to Barack Obama will be poison to your organization and efforts. I, along with many others, have personally boycotted and refused to offer donation contributions to any organization connected to Senator Obama. This includes the DNC — which explains the reports that they are having difficulties raising the necessary funds for the convention. Other organizations being boycotted are NARAL, and NOW (also reports of diminishing fundraising). Oprah has also suffered from lack of support since endorsing this candidate along with many other elected officials whom we plan to vote out of office for their part played in supporting a corrupt effort to “select” the Democratic nominee rather than allowing the people to “elect” the nominee. There’s evidence of voter fraud and numerous other fraudulent activity associated with the Obama machine.
As of the writing of this message, the convention has not yet been held and it is my hope (and the hope of millions) that Senator Clinton will still be the nominee. But reports of Senator Obama trying to enact voter fraud at the convention has drawn many concerns that this goal might not succeed. Let me assure you that if Senator Obama succeeds in becoming the nominee through his less-than-democratic tactics, he will not have our support and will not win the White House.
My recommendation for who to endorse is as follows: Senator Clinton as a first choice of endorsement, and Senator McCain as a second choice, but NO Obama.
Good Afternoon All,
My husband just found this lastest poll that some of you might not have seen… has eye opening numbers!! This poll pre-predicted Howard Dean going down when he ran for president. please view…
http://www.fedsmith.com/article/1686/
back to work for me…
I have to ask this question and then I’ll go backand read comments, but does any one know if we will be able to get into the convention and actually witness Hillarys speech?
Good afternoon beautiful PUMA’s from the not today anyway, Sunshine State. The power went off so my letter writing to the super delegates was temporarily delayed. A little wind and the power goes off down here. This is my version for the final push to get Hillary nominated. Has Rendell really come around or is that just a rumor?
Dear Super Delegate:
Please ask your assistant to pull up the following article from the New York Times:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/17/us/politics/17elect.html?pagewanted=2&_r=2&th&emc=th&adxnnlx=1218981600-nTvBXaj0SUVnjmGjQEcE%20g
Senator Obama is in a dead heat with McCain, unable to get to 51%, and predictions are coming in that he will never get to 51%. When the Republican Attack Machine begins, reflecting all the concerns of voters in reference to Senator Obama, McCain will win. You can ignore this if you wish, but if you do, you are putting our party in jeopardy of losing the White House. I believe you have all over estimated the “hope and change” message of the senator, as well as under-estimating his lack of experience and lack of specific and multi examples of his “good judgment”. Senator Obama’s claim, “I was against the war from the beginning” is, and I quote, “the biggest fairy tale I have ever heard.”
It’s time now to pledge at the Convention, to the candidate who can beat John McCain. That candidate is Senator Clinton.
In closing, please recall Senator Clinton’s words, “Senator McCain will bring years of experience; I will bring years of experience; Senator Obama will bring a speech.”
Thank you for listening.

#465 Storytellers
I am going to add a few notes to some questions you might have. School records verify the accuracy of names and when and where his mother and him were at during different times early in his life. For exampl, *61’s mother had to live in the for a certain period of time for *61 to meet the citizenship requirements for being President. According to the scenario, if he was born in in a foreign country his mom would have had to be 21 when she had him, but she was only 18. There are many questions as to where he was actually born and alot of doubt it was in the U.S. as no one has seen an original and not forged birth certificate.
The school records can verify his name. In documents for I believe his Senate run, he stated he NEVER had or used any other name. That is not the truth. Both Barry Sotero and Barak Obama were two different names he used (at the minimum). No one knows if he ever even officially had his name changed. He lied on his documents, which I think is a felony, but in any case would have disqualified him probably as a Senator and I am sure his presidency.
There is more I can go into but have to run. It is complicated but he appears to have lied on many documents which are all being investigated.
Hope this helps a little.
SD LETTER FOR ANYONE TO USE. THIS IS THE NEXT-TO-THE-LAST LETTER I SENT TO THEM, SO IT MAY BE SOMEWHAT FAMILIAR. YOU MAY WANT TO DO SOME EDITING TO CHANGE IT UP A LITTLE. ANY LETTER PERCEIVED AS A FORM LETTER IS LESS LIKELY TO BE READ:
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – — –
We are in quite an historic election year! As a Superdelegate, you will play a central role in the Democratic nomination process. I am aware of the pressure you face from the candidate’s supporters as well as from the Party, as the DNC is pushing hard for the nomination of Senator Obama. I know you want to do what is right for the Party and for our country.
Thank you for taking the time and having the heart to read my letter, and in so doing, honoring this great democratic process by giving my voice a space in which to be heard. If you are a Clinton supporter, I’m counting on your courage and your convictions to vote for her at the convention. If you are an Obama supporter, or if you are undecided, I respectfully ask you to carefully consider my points below.
Obama’s Experience and Voting Record: Barack Obama was a U.S. Senator for less than two years when he started running for President. He has not sponsored any meaningful legislation on his own nor through bipartisan efforts. In addition, he has scant international experience. As a state senator, he avoided controversial issues by frequently voting “present”. He ignored the plight of impoverished families living in rundown public housing that his friend and now convicted felon, Tony Rezko, owned.
Obama’s Pattern of Disturbing Relationships, Flip-Flopping, and Deception: Barack Obama has a track record of affiliating himself with shady characters, including criminals and terrorists. Once exposed, he either minimizes the relationship or claims innocence. He also has a habit of going back on his word, including his 1996 senate campaign strategy of eliminating his opponents, including his betrayal of Alice Palmer. In 2006, he made a commitment to the American people not to run for President, citing lack of experience, then proceeded to run for President. Most recently, he has shifted positions on campaign finance reform, abortion, gun control, Iraq troop withdrawal, FISA, and off shore drilling while also embracing Bush’s faith based initiatives! Obama’s political maneuvering and voting record do not match his rhetoric.
Media and DNC Bias: The media has given Obama a free pass and have not vetted him enough. According to a late May poll, the public felt the media was much harder on Clinton than on Obama or McCain. The DNC pressured delegates to move toward Obama after the last state voted in the Primaries despite a close delegate race. This made it difficult for Clinton to continue running.
This year’s Democratic nomination should be a no-brainer. We don’t nominate individuals with two years of experience in Congress with the kind of history Barack Obama has. It is simply not done, and for good reason. Let’s not start now.
Senator Clinton has spent 35 years dedicating her life to public service. She has an impressive grasp of national and international policy. She has a Congressional track record of legislative achievement. She has a brilliant platform. She won the popular vote. She won the key states Democrats must win in order to win in the general election. She won when she was outspent by Obama many times over. She won despite media bias toward Obama and the DNC not denouncing the sexism she faced. She has been vetted and survived. A recent poll shows that Senator Clinton is still the strongest candidate against John McCain while Senator Obama is struggling to edge ahead of McCain in a year when a Democratic win should be all but ensured.
I hope that despite pressure from the Party, you will do what is right and best for our country and ultimately for the Democratic Party. I urge you to vote for Hillary Clinton at the convention.

I am allowing your post because it is civilly presented and a legitimate question for our members to address.
It is not obvious where your loyalties lie, so I will take the added step of reminding you that this is a NOBAMA board.
We appreciate civil debates as long as they stick to a point and are not insulting or offensive to any PUMA PAC member.
As we get closer to Denver, our blogs will be more closely monitored for content and to keep the peace. We leave the arguments and name-calling and fights to the other blog sites.

Flowerchild2 – Not all of the SD’s are elected officials and therefore don’t necessarily have assistants. In addition, if you want to maximize the chances of having your letter read in full, you may want to simply summarize what’s in that link. In my opinion, it’s highly unlikely that an SD receiving any of our letters would bother to have a staff member do anything at our request as part of the process of reading the letter. Make it easy for them.
just my 2 cents.

re#471
maybe some of us would prefer to see mccain as president rather than Obama..have you ever thought of that?
#479 HP Boston on 08.19.08 at 2:51 pm
How could Obama not pick Biden for VP after he referred to The One as “articulate, bright and clean?”
They will be a two-man GAFFE-MACHINE. LOL!
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Sen. Joe Biden planned to spend Wednesday focusing on his official announcement that he was running for president, but the Delaware Democrat instead found himself defending remarks he made to the New York Observer about his Democratic opponents.
In the article published Wednesday, Biden is quoted evaluating presidential rivals Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-New York, former Sen. John Edwards, D-North Carolina, and Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois. His remarks about Obama, the only African-American serving in the Senate, drew the most scrutiny.
“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” Biden said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
Biden issued a statement Wednesday afternoon, saying: “I deeply regret any offense my remark in the New York Observer might have caused anyone. That was not my intent and I expressed that to Sen. Obama.”

Two Man Gaffe Machine!
It answers the question:
How many men does it take to run a gaffe machine?
Two.
Hm, but then what’s the punch line? Two. How about:
Two. One to make the gaffe and the other to second it.
Nah, not that good. I’m sure Go or antifish or just words could come up with something better.

Hi Puma Pals,
Roar is the new rant
Prowl completed. I was feeling a bit testy. I know politics are messy but this “symbolic” business is just over the top corruption.
—
Dear Senator Clinton,
I ask that you participate in the Democratic Convention in a straight-forward, honest way. The convention must to be a fair transparent fight, not a coronation. A “symbolic” roll call will not be cathartic rather it will sully the legitimacy of the Democratic Party. I ask that you do not release your candidates. Please stand up for those of us who chose you.
You can win the general election. Senator Obama can not.
I will not vote for Senator Obama ever. He is a narcissistic neophyte put in place by powers that alarm me. I will not sanction the DNC’s blatant gaming of the primary process to his advantage.
Thank you.

I remember that incident…it was the first XO campaign strategy to pin the race card on the competition.
Practice. practice makes perfect for the ONE!
The poll on Senator Clinton upstaging XO is of more interest!!! She is going to be the buzz at the convention, we need to keep a sharp eye on this drama.
Billie Jo – No, I’m not an SD. But, I can see where you might think that. It’s one of those sentences that is grammatically ambiguous. Didn’t catch that till you just pointed it out. Could be read as if I’m speaking as an SD. But, I intended it to be read that I am speaking to the reader because they are an SD. Sorry for getting your blood pressure up.

Just wondering what all of you tell people that say by supporting HRC even after the primaries are over just hurts the American people by assuring a John McCain victory? Most democrats I know that supported Hillary are now supporting Obama in Virginia.
What do you tell them?

I have that problem because everyone I work with that voted for Hillary is going to vote for Obama.
I pass on the link from Sherrie’s show on No We Won’t the other night and ask them to listen to it before they give me their song and dance.
People that’s don’t respect my vote don’t get my respect for theirs in return.
This is so embarassing, getting my pictures taken for the tribune…Ugh……

——————————————————–
Yep. Assuring John McCain a victory is akin to the DNC/RBC/Dean Inc. doing what they did to assure victory (albeit by corrupt methods) for their pre-ordained selectee.
I tell them that rewarding a corrupt election process, by supporting a DNC pre-selected candidate, undermines the bedrock of democracy, and will have a far greater negative impact and consequences, than not rewarding the powers that be, and their illicit selectee.
This isn’t about supporting any one candidate, it’s about demanding open and fair nominating and election processes.
In order to cut down the costs to go to Denver, we are looking for 2 people to ride with us. Leaving San Jose, CA on Aug 23, return on Thurs or Sun. I had reserved a Mid size rental car from Aug 22 to Sep 1. Email me if you are interested. My email address is mmtruo@gmail.com

#508 Billie Jo, I have the same problem, can’t talk to anyone here in FL about Obama, all Hillary supporters are going to vote for XO. Sickening. I wore my $50 Hillary t-shirt out today but in my area, no one commented. I asked one of my good friends if she was still supporting XO and she said emphatically, yes, that as each day goes by, McCain looks worse. The truth of the matter, the more she supports him, as each day goes by, she looks worse. What is wrong with these people, are we the only sane ones?
Hi HP Boston. Prettty clever, though I can’t lol (only smile quietly) since I happen to be a fan of unions, even though I have no fantasy about what they can become. But, all things being equal, I think unions can be a very meaningful voice for so many workers in advocating for their needs. Sorry. Agree to disagree here, maybe. That’s cool. We are a very diverse group of felines!

Its all the talk about Hope and change. From people loosing their homes, struggling to get by, who worry about the war, and what would happen with 4 more years of George…Its seductive. It blinds you. When all you can see is the trouble you are facing and you know a republican in the office hasn’t worked out real well its easy to only see the facade of what you are being shown. You don’t care to look past it to what might be there..because for some people Hope is all they can have..
All you can do as one who is not blind is be gentle. . Be a beacon of light and you will eventually shine through the darkness.

How many democratic nincompoops does it take to change a light bulb?
We can only hope it will take one person to make this change.
Hillary will do the job easily
gquinton,
Not all PUMAs are democrats. The vast majority are, I however am an independent. An independent who supported HRC.
I support PUMA and their agenda for a variety of reasons.
Not the least being the simple fact the primaries were hijacked by the party leadership.
As an independent I want two parties ( at the least) to choose between. I do not want a manipulated, underhanded collection of political ‘bosses” to control either side of our national debate. I demand that the voice of the people be the deciding factor.
Hillary Clinton , was and is, the best person to take the reigns of the executive branch. Her lifelong commitment to her ideals are apparent to anyone who bothers to look.
“O”’s complete lack of substance is just as apparent.
We elect a president, not a King or Queen.
Who ever enters the white house must deal with congress and the American people. They must be willing to stick firmly to their ideals while reaching a compromise with the varied interests that represent our nation.
Hillary would do just that.
Obama has no principles I can see other than a desire to accumulate personal power. He has no experience and has turned away form the ideals he touted during the primary race.
If Obama were to win the GE, it would be an approval of all the dirty politics that went on during the primaries. It would send a clear message to both parties that the American people can be manipulated at any level’
It would say that substance doesn’t count, that experience doesn’t count, that principles don’t count, that a lifelong commitment is meaningless.
That all you need is a catchy slogan and a good PR campaign.
An obama victory in the GE will mean the end of democracy as it is and return us to time when the powerful decided who would be our leaders and their puppets.
Our voices will be silenced for the for see able future.
When has a candidate with so little background, so many lies, so much questionable behaviour ever been in this position?
How did it come about?
This election isn’t about the age old argument between left and right. It is about the very fabric of our democracy.
We cannot allow the manipulators to win.
First take back the democratic party from the bosses. Give the nomination to the true victor, the one who got the most popular votes. Expose the corrupt caucus system for what it really has become. If not, prevent their puppet form achieving victory.
Those are just some of the reasons I am here.
I could take up pages.
trish..

——————————-
My Question:
I assume that your post is seeking answers because you are getting grief for your continued ’support of HRC’?
My answer:
The DNC should have considered that before they picked who millions of voters would most likely consider their third choice as the most vetted, experienced and trusted presidential candidate.
Thank you MsBin,
It is truly appreciated, did I miss anything exciting? I had to lay down for awhile this morning, just now able to get around some, so dont know how long I can stay
TREEPUMA
Prowl done.
Dear Senator Clinton:
Thank you for everything you have done for our country. May I please ask you to do one more thing? Please do not release your delegates. Your supporters want your name to be placed in nomination and a roll call vote to take place, as it has in years past, without any further manipulation from the DNC.
I strongly believe that the primary election was unlawfully manipulated by the DNC and this is unacceptable. They do not have the authority to negate votes once they have been cast or to redistribute votes as they choose fit in order to alter the outcome of an election.
You were the true winner of the primary election. You are the only one who can win the election for the democrats in November. You are the one we have been waiting for… no other will do. Certainly not one who has been unlawfully “selected” as Senator Obama has been.
Senator Clinton, I do respect you and your choices. But as a life-long democrat, I own my vote and want to give it for you in November. If you are not at the top of the ballot, for the first time in my 51 years, I will be forced to vote republican.

If only about 10% of Hillary’s voters vote for McCain
McCain will probably win. Depends on the state makeup of course.
But many battleground states are in the more conservative Midwest.
And the right-wing 527 ads haven’t even started yet. They don’t even need to “swiftboat”, just read passages from Obama’s own books to show how far out-there he is.
Real Americans won’t vote for someone who is way-out-there.

No way shape or form will that happen.
I defy anyone to put 100 republicans in a room and find 6 who will vote for precious. Will never happen.
They are answering this way to make sure Hillary can’t pull of the hail mary pass.

We are still developing our possibilites in the tech arena.
As far as convention activities, access is HIGHLY limited, and I’m waiting on word as to whether we will be able to get PUMAs on the ground inside the CC. For their safety, I will not disclose whether we do or don’t have ground troops.
As far as protest activities and events at the PUMA Den and other coalition events, I’m still trying to work out a schedule so that they are all covered. We many not be able to broadcast video live but will try to do sound and release the vid later.
Logistics for this is a nightmare on such a short time frame.

The convention is just a few days away but it seems people are not excited about it especially the democratic party. Buyers remorse is all over the place, even NOBAMA trolls are now starting to question words of their cult leader; but they’re told not to question anything but just to follow orders. Isn’t it sad when supposedly “educated” people drinking koolaid are totally removed of intelligence or plain common sense because they’re told to follow orders without question.

I also PRAY that those nitwits at the top can control their own egos, stop this pissing war, and do the RIGHT Thing and nominate HILLARY and kick BO out for any number of reasons beginning with HE ISN’T legally allowed to be president, financial misconduct, etc., etc.

Hillary delegate on fox tv setting smug Neil Cavuto on things that Hillary is entitled to at the convention and made it clear that it is only happening because her delegates signed a petition.
#601 SouthJerseyPUMA
Hang in. ugh, insurance companies. ugh.
My friend admitted he sent it on Friday….he is big time stock trader type (nice but not organized). You should have it soon…I am seeing him tonight and will confirm date on which he sent it…
I am so sorry you do not feel well. Lay down, take two Puma pills, and email me later
If it’s a secret, how does this get out? Wonder if Jeremy at Friends of Hillary will spill the beans, I doubt it.
Also, Neil Cavuto is the biggest bully I have ever seen. I can’t stand him. Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA) was on and is opposed to drilling since he is familiar with it firsthand and the damage it has done to his state. I agree with him, I am against drilling, I live in Florida and do not want oil rigs off shore. I do know Cuba is drilling off of Florida but we don’t need any more rigs. I e-mailed Cavuto and told him he was rude and would not let Scott finish his sentences. Scott is standing up against the Dems and Pelosi and I give him credit for doing so. He knows 70% of Americans are for drilling. If Congress would have passed Sen. Nelson’s (FL-D) bill years ago and which he continues to bring up, regarding fuel economy, we would not have this problem. Just raising the standards would help the environment and gas prices; however, Washington lobbyists will now allow this to happen.
I do not live in W.Va. and I would be adamantly opposed to mountain top mining. It doesn’t matter what state you are in, we should all protect our environment.
Now that I’ve vented, wonder what Hill’s secret meeting is all about? Maybe she got our e-mails and is reconsidering.
I just emailed Hillary at hillaryclinton.com about not releasing her delegates. I don’t have access to a fax, so could not fax as today’s Prowl asks us to do. Hope somebody there will check the emails -I did what I could do! Best of luck to all in Denver – I’m pulling for you (and us).
Just announced on Fox that Hillary is holding an emergency conference call with her delegates. More coming up on Cavuto
Help
Im getting a bit of a head ache. Can someone help keep the info going to ppl to send me pics and messages for the video. I will be back on asap. I just need a cloth over my eyes for a bit..
If anyone has Hillary’s campaign phone number or even her Senate number, could you please send it to my gmail account so that I can call her and urge her to not release her delegates. My gmail account is phillyforhillary@gmail.com. Thanks.
#583 michelle47 I went to the wrong house…and ended up hanging out over there for awhile..lol
Caracal Carrie good video , I liked it alot now I have to find a picture of me I like.
#400 TexasTigress little violent there lmao,
I’ve picked up on a vibe – from people I talk to and from watching some on Fox News, just picked it up again watching Cavuto – they freak out at the mention of Hillary’s name – even as VP – they’re afraid, running scared – they know that with her their man is an also-ran.
This really sucks — she should be the nominee – a sure-fire way to win the presidency.
Why did this NObama have to ruin everything?????

For all the PUMAs that are just coming on for the first time today and the afternoon shift please read……..
I suggested, putting together a video of PUMAs? We could all email our pics. I think it would be neat to have the faces of PUMAs who have dedicated themselves to this important cause, who can not travel to Denver. What do you think? You could mix the PUMA pics in with Hillary pics. I know we have men PUMAs too, 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. This could also coincide with the celebration of the Women’s Sufferage of 88 yrs. You could include it in your videos you are going to be playing at the convention.
This could be one way the PUMAs who are not able to attend the convention could be present. Also, all of us at home could light white candles during the time the PUMAs will be holding their ceremony, so we will all be united.

Thought maybe I could get the info by going to Fox but didn’t see it but there is a lot of other news there.

OK well maybe they will read the back posts. I have to cover my eyes before this goes migrain lol.
I will check in on all the pics and stuff as soon as this passes.
thanks so much ONE!
Invesco IS NOT a covered field. City basically went against the wishes of the people when it was rebuilt. With it covered there could have been many more events held there regardless of the weather. Our forecast gurus have been saying it’s supposed to be about 91 on thursday but down in 50’s and possible rain in evening. Still to early to predict. people are to be there around 2, speech is at 6, and bummers party is supposed to last til midnight.
#613 bruce55555… Obama’s camp made a statement yesterday that not even the VP pick knows they have been picked, yet.
Could it be it’s Hillary and she has gotten the word? BO can’t win without her!
** goandersen **
thank you!!!
Seen these articles – ORLANDO – Democrat Barack Obama challenged his Republican opponent John McCain on Tuesday to stop questioning his “character and patriotism.”
He makes Baby Huey look like a presidential candidate!
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Poll workers will not be allowed to take voting machines home for safekeeping in the days before the November presidential election because the practice known as “sleepovers” is an unacceptable security risk, the state elections chief said Tuesday.
Guess *61 will have to think of another way to steal Ohio!!
Go PUMAS!! Hillary in 2008!
slyt2, Thanks for getting lost, could have used more puma power than I could muster for that! I was not expecting that. I told the girl to make sure to airbrush any that they use. I had a huge Hillary sign from the primaries and I do mean huge, the ones they hang on buildings, she had me posing all over hell and creation with it.
Richardson was committed by bo to hold 2 fundraisers for Hillary. Seeing her reaction to him and now this meeting gives me a bad feeling.
I am not posting this to restart a discussion on abortion. I’m posting it because I think this issue is BO’s Waterloo. This is it, Pumas.

#624 Caracal Carrie, No problem, I have not been on since this morning after you agreed to do it and just came on and realized the afternoon shift and late nighters need the opportunity to send their pics.
I’ll keep posting periodically up through midnight if that’s okay.
I can only imagine your eyes must be buggy by now. You are a saint.
A friend of mine predicts Hillary will unsuspend her campaign before the end of the week. That’s another possiblity for this “secret meeting”.
Who knows.
Where on Fox did they announce this Clinton-Delegate “Secret meeting or conference call”?
#645 Taffy,
That is great news! Maybe hail and wind and rain, and 49 sounds about right for temp!
Gonna practice my rain dance stepsto be ready for Thursday!
Oh I get so nervous with all this going on. Every time I watch a video of Hillary I cry. I am a mess. Need to take a walk. Please no VP!!!

I’ve received the prowl re: faxing Friends of Hillary and plan to do it within the hour. Is anyone coming through Kansas on the way to Denver?
There was an article I didn’t archive that talked about all the things that have happened on that date from storms, hail, even an infestation of grasshoppers that ate all the crops they were so thick! Was anti bo and said we could always hope for the grasshoppers again
Maybe she is trying to gage support at this point to decide if maybe she should unsuspend. That’s wishful I think. On the flip, maybe she’s trying to gage her delegate support to decide if she should release them earlier then the convention to ‘promote unity’. Or could be something in between perhaps, but clearly she’s trying to make a decision about something. Interesting, sure wish I were a fly on the wall of that meeting room/conference call!
doria murphy said it would be running late.
#471 gquinon Don’t let “people” and what they think bother you. People who are attracted to BO engage in blaming behavior. They seem to think of it as sport. Of course they will look for someone to blame for BO’s landslide failure in the GE and of course they will blame women, that doesn’t make it true. But there was a democratic process in place. The DNC chose to ignore it and they chose to ignore the “alleged sexist” treatment of their most qualified candidate in fact they allowed the BO camp to jump on the sexism bandwagon. If anyone at the DNC had a brain that could override their enormous ego they would have supported their most qualified candidate, Hillary Clinton and pushed her to take the as yet undeveloped BO as her VP and then had the Whitehouse for 16 years. Voters are not obligated to vote for anyone. Country before Party. The DNC needs to own their own failure not project it onto women voters and candidates. The DNC lost this election due to their own behavior and no one but them is responsible for that bad behavior. You know the DNC BOites act like if you repeat something over and over again it is true.
Hope it’s not blackmail AGAIN! didn’t someone say at platform meeting seating FL and MI at full vote was sent back to rbc at convention??
633wontbackdown
this is what I’m hoping for.
Only Hillary has the experience, class, intelligence, past accomplishments, etc. etc. etc.
To push all this aside and to support someone who did nothing but insult and degrade her, this really bothers me.
I hope and pray she has the support system to help her and advise her to just pick up and claim what’s rightfully hers.

Regarding the non-hug – did you see the look on Richardson’s face as she pulled away – he got it big-time!
I also loved her opening statement: I am sooo glad to be on the stage with my long time friend (and big-time backstabber) and YOUR Governor (who tanked his own voters that supported her in winning New Mexico) Bill Richardson!
My words added in parens from my interpretation of her slow, drawn-out, exagerated voice annotations.

ANYONE HAVE THE CORRECT CONTACT INFO FOR ELLEN WHO PRESUMABLY HAS CONTACT INFO FOR PLEDGED DELEGATES????
Quick pit stop at home. Skimmed posts but still didn’t see anything pertaining to my earlier request…
I e-mailed her using what I thought was the e-mail address given in the post, but it didn’t go through. I don’t know if I wrote her address wrong or if the post is inaccurate. I want to contact her to see if she has e-mail addresses for pledged delegates. If anyone knows how to contact her, please re-post. I can’t find the original post. I looked. I’m sure it’s there and I’m just missing it.
Meanwhile, EVERYONE, we don’t have to wait for Murphy to send a prowl. We know the SD’s are crucial and we know how to contact them. The blog is addicting. I know it’s hard to break away. But if we each commited to spend an hour or so doing one more SD letter, it would be a good thing, no?
Back out. See everyone later —

Thank you for posting this link. I think I’ll use it in my emails to delegates. It says it all and a perfect argument that is hard to dispute. Finally a poll that reflects the true climate of the voters. It’s about time.
The event is sold out but here is link where Hillary will be Tuesday afternoon. PUMA party time????
She will definitely be in a hurry afterwards to get ready for her evening speech.
Yes! I will join Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Special Guest Michelle Obama at the EMILY’s List gala reception.

________________________________________
A Prayer For The Super Delegates :
So may we be like those making
the world progress toward perfection;
May Mazda and the Divine Spirits help us
and guide our efforts through Truth;
For a thinking man is where Wisdom is at home.
This election should be a no-brainer. We don’t nominate individuals
with one year of experience in Congress (the rest of the term has
been spent campaigning) and the kind of history that Barack Obama has.
It is simply not done, and for good reason. Let’s not start now.
Clinton has spent 35 years of her life as a public servant.
She is wildly intelligent with a mind boggling grasp of national
and international policy. She has a breadth and depth of experience
worthy of the job description of POTUS. She has a history in
Congress of both reaching across the isle to get things done and
holding her ground when she felt it necessary. She has a brilliantly
articulated platform and has garnered support from all quarters.
She won the popular vote. She won the key states Democrats must win
in order to win in the general election. She won when she was outspent
by Obama many times over. She won despite a relentless onslaught of
negative media that was not deserved. She won without the DNC
speaking out when she was the victim time and again of misogyny.
She is smart, capable, strong, and resilient. She has been vetted and survived.
She will be our next President if you do your part. With this letter,
I am doing mine.
David Gergen, Consultant for CNN siad yesterday that McCain could win. Surprising from him.
July’s distribution numbers come out tomorrow. We will know then how much was raised toward HRC’s debt.

wow first postive email i have recieved !!!!!
Any word on the emergency p/c from Hillary to her delegates? Fox never said anymore – at least that I heard.
It’s seems to be a quiet day out there, anything postive to report?
*** Message from Murphy ***
Murphy is having an internet outage and is unable to respond to emails and blog requests.
The afternoon PROWL for today has been cancelled.
Will update as I am updated.

#677 vadaryl… I did not hear it but someone posted here that Fox announced that Hillary has called an “emergency conference call with her delegates”
678 marcelka … yep
Please fill us in on what FOX reported and what time did this occur
#675 Maryland PUMA.
The Obots didn’t cut her internet did they?
I will see if I can find anything about this.
Fox reported on a sudden conference call that HRC held with her delegates.
And I read your letter to the SDs. It is great!
If you are done, may I borrow it and pass it around?
Would this be her delegates or superdelegates
678 marcelka
all of it was 469 Anna7000 letter except for the prayer… i got that from :

Does anyone else feel hyper today? I feel so awake and I’m getting so much done. Feels like there is news a comin’
686 marcelka wow…wonder if thats good or bad ?????

logic dictates it would be her superdelegates.
however, i have no proof of that.

Is anyone passing through Kansas on the way to Denver? Please email me at do_u_likethis@yahoo.com . Thanks in advance.
#670 wontbackdown
Oh her body language says it all, she pushed away from him with her right hand and just about ran the other way at the end.
And when does HRC need to raise her voice like that to introduce him. Over done I think. Her facial expressions say it all. She looks like she just swallowed castor oil!
New poll has race tied:
More striking than the head-to-head matchup, however, is the drop in Obama’s favorable rating in the run-up to his selection of a running mate and the Democratic National Convention next week in Denver.
Obama’s favorable rating has sunk to 48% from 59% since the last Times/Bloomberg poll in June. At the same time, his negative rating has risen to 35% from 27%.
By comparison, McCain’s ratings have hardly budged during the same period: 46% of voters have a positive feeling about him; 38% give him negative ratings.

OK I just talked to a Hillary FL delegate, yes Hillary is going to have a conference call tonight with her delegates, it is called a pre-convention conference call not a “emergency conference call with her delegates” that FOX is reporting according to this delegate.
YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! New LA poll out!!!

Switching from Dem to Independent
…it’s a GREAT way to protest the DNC… right after the convention IF Hillary is not the nominee
((( if LOTS of us do it, the DNC will NOTICE ! )))
—–> NOTES & TIPS: <——
* “American Independent” is NOT the same as Independent
* “Independent” is also called “Unaffiliated”, “Decline(s) to State (a Party)”, “Nonpartisan”
* Check the registration form choices carefully– if unsure… ASK!
* Google your state’s name + “voter registration form”… see if form comes up… Print & send it.
* On the back of the envelop write: “Country Before Party!”
* In some states you can’t state your party (or no-party) preference when you register. (Only when you vote)

BIDEN: “I’M NOT THE GUY”
Posted: Tuesday, August 19, 2008 5:02 PM by Domenico Montanaro
Filed Under: 2008, Obama
From NBC/NJ’s Mike Memoli
As Delaware Sen. Joe Biden left his home a few minutes ago, golf clubs in tow, he was asked where he was going to be on Saturday.
Biden replied, “Here” and pointed down to his driveway.
As he pulled out of the driveway in the driver’s seat of his car he then said to the press gathered near his gate, “You guys have better things to do. I’m not the guy.”

I agree with you prowland, I am not going to try to hide who I am. I drive everywhere with my Hillary bumper sticker, I wear my Bitches Get Stuff Done t-shirt, and I will gladly put my face to my posts anytime. Maybe I would feel differently if I lived in a heavily Obama area or in the inner city, but I have the luxury of not having to worry about that. I think a video that puts 100’s of faces on the PUMA movement would be very powerful.

Sorry for not responding to some of the posts from earlier today (slyt2). I’ve been lurking off and on…biting my tongue….started several posts……but I sometimes have to back off and “listen” to everyone.

Prowl done – I did today’s prowl yesterday, I wanted extra credit. LOL
Maxgrader: I don’t have a crystal ball, darn it, but most strategists are saying McCain should stay clear of Romney as Mitt outspent all of his opponents during the primaries – by a large amount. The end result was that he only took Michigan – the state his father was governor of. Romney has a hard time connecting with the Republican base and he would not serve McCain well in picking up moderate voters.

Those of you who support Obama and cannot understand how anyone who claims to be a Democrat could possibly consider not voting for him need to ask yourselves the following question:
1. If Hillary said that she was certain she could get his voters but was not certain that he could get her supporters, would you consider that insulting and would that make you want to vote for her?
2. If Rahm Emmanual said that it was OK for Obama supporters to be upset for a little while, but eventually you would have to come back to the democratic party because like an abused woman, you really had no where else to go, would you consider that insulting and would that make you want to vote for Hillary?
3. If throughout the primary, supporters of Hillary implied that you were ignorant, out of touch, old, bitter, preoccupied with your wrinkles, in need of sex, sexless, emotional, hormonal, in need of a man, too emotional to know what you wanted, out of touch, etc., would you consider that insulting and would that make you want to vote for Hillary?
4. It Hillary decided her best bet to pander to Ohio and New Hampshire was to tell the voters of Michigan and Florida that she was not going to have her name in contention there, but Obama, trying to be fair to all voters, or even in a pander of his own to those voters, left his name in, got the majority there and then the rules committee of the party that is supposed to be FOR voters, (especially after the abomination of Florida in 00), took some of Obama’s delegates away and gave them to Hillary to ensure that she would have more, would that infuriate you and would that make you want to vote for Hillary?
5. If you had voted democrat for your entire life, like your parents and grandparents before you, even though you had to go through long droughts without any democrat in the white house, would you feel that the New and improved DNC appreciated your loyalty when its spokes-people like Emmanual, Brazile and Dean said that you are simply bitter and need to get over it and vote for the new and improved person without giving you one reason to do so other then the fact that a D will appear behind his name, would that make you want to get over it and join the party?
6. If you were buying the idea that the alternative would be worse and you owed it to your children or fellow americans or the world in general to support the “progressive candidate” would you still believe that if it was Hillary who flip flopped on FISA, emotion basis for abortion, separation of church and state when funding is concerned, and that was before she even got the nomination?
If you can honestly answer that you would support that candidate after all that ocurred you are a better person then me. I will not vote Democrat this year for the first time in my life. I am not alone and that makes me sad, because I know that my former party will need to generate two votes for my missing one, the one they could have had and the one that will go to John McCain.
Perhaps the new and improved Democratic party will go on and prosper without the likes of me. I have been told I am not needed anyway. However, if November comes and he can’t squeak by, don’t look at me and point fingers, look in the mirror and ask your self what you and your candidate did to make sure that at least this voter did not see your chosen one as my own.
Thank you Vadaryl so much for the answer to my question.
I have a feeling she is going to tell them what we are hearing in the news
Hmmm my prior post didn’t make it. Thank you all for your letters and there is an intent to answer some of you on letterhead when we have time. Financials due tomorrow so it will not be until they are done though. Thank you so much and to say to everyone that you overwhelmed us is not going to touch the iceberg. We are VERY surprised by the response we received!
Dances,
All I meant was that when I’m writing to someone and I accidently say she and it turns out to be a he, thats it, nothing major, just trying to save a little embarrassing moments, and of course you can say the same thing to everyone, I just get real embarrassed if I call someone a she instead of a he, thats all, nothing to suggest any negativity,
Well I guess its time to go

Did XO also plagarize his logo? Check this unity08 logo. The only reason I checked on this was a year or so ago, Sam Waterson from Law and Order formed the Unity08 party and I sent him a $25 donation. Have never heard from his. Notice there are no donations here. I’m going to call the FEC as I want to know where my $25 is.

If Hillary begs me to vote for Obama I will have to respectfully disagree. If Hillary is the VP choice, I will have to respectfully turn my vote to McCain. She does what she feels is best, but I will not and can not support a party that has no respect for it’s constituents.
I know the delegate has to be careful in what they say but at least we got it confirmed that there will be a conference call tonight. Fox of course is going to spin it to keep people watching all night
prowl…we can easily make signs and posters with our november nobama nojoke and ones about the hijacking of the party. The important thing is letting MSM and others know he WON”T get our vote!!!!
I hope she leaks his VP choice just to burst his bubble of making it a big show
In case anyone hasn’t heard the latest on this yet… More questions being raised about BO (the main issue here is that he might be lying or hiding the truth… not that it’s bad being a Muslim, etc.)
—————–
Indonesian Muslim boy?… fake birth certificate?
The AP caption reads: “This registration document, made available on Jan. 24, 2007, by the Fransiskus Assisi school in Jakarta, Indonesia, shows the registration of Barack Obama under the name Barry Soetoro into the Catholic school made by his step-father, Lolo Soetoro. The document lists Barry Soetoro as a Indonesian citizen, born on August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, and shows his Muslim step-father listed the boy’s religion as Islam.”
There are questions about the authenticity of this document, but if true it may prove:
1. Barack Obama had Indonesian citizenship
2. Barack Obama had the legal name Barry Soetoro
3. Barack Obama was a Muslim, despite his “fight the smears” claim that he never has been one.
In addition, it means that Barack Obama apparently lied to the Illinois Supreme Court when asked to provide former names, according to this Attorney’s Registration Record:
— ALSO: It’s pretty clear that the Birth Certificate that had been posted on BO’s website is fake… (it has Photoshop marks, etc)
From:
http://texasdarlin.wordpress.com/2008/08/13/breaking-photo-documents-barry-soetoro-indonesian/
If the reappearing Obama school report from Jakarta is authentic, Obama faces major problems, serious questions about adoption, loss of citizenship and more.
…. it may upset Obama’s applecart on American citizenship

Faxed Friends of Hillary Clinton today for the daily prowl. Hope she is hearing from a lot of people today on this subject of “Holding her Delegates”
Hope you are getting some rest, Darragh. And wish everyone traveling to Denver a safe journey. May you who are able to attend in Denver have a jubilant journey on the way home. Yessss Hillary for POTUS. Go PUMAS.
#735 Guess I answered my own question. I’ve never seen that slash before in any of the posts.
Copy of an e-mail I sent to Fox News (Hannity, Colmes, O’Reilly, & Greta) after I tired of their saying Hillary Supporters will support Obama.
To: FOX News
Your analysts have repeatedly said that the Hillary supporters will come around to Obama, that is, vote for him. This is not the case and it will cost Obama the election. Have you blogged lately @ http://blog.pumapac.org/2008/08/19/countdown-to-denver-6-days-to-go/#comments

#751 LandiPUMA When I called Friends of Hillary and spoke to Jeramy, I asked if Obama had been vetted and was he a US citizen. He said yes. But there is too much out there, I asked if he were a citizen, why did he put a phony BC on his website? I hope and pray he is not a citizen but I believe he went to Hawaii to get another fake BC and the DNC will let him get away with it. If I had my pick, I would pick Schwarteneggar over this idiot
No post and it says moderator moderating
you got it now good job… ladyhawkke
hearts;
I’m very worried that NOBAMA is going to ask Hillary to be his VP. His poll numbers are dropping and he is still failing to attract a significant part of the democratic party base. Biden has great credentials but he comes from a state with few electoral votes. Kaine has no foreign policy experience. Hillary would deliver Arkansas for sure and probably Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida. I hope that Obama does not ask Hillary to be VP so that he can win the election and then come January he will throw her under the bus.
ladyhawkke: The other question is, is he a *dual citizen*?
721 ladyhawkke
Are you serious! Nothing they do should surprise me, but that is pretty low.
I know he has a special place reserved for him in hell!
ladyhawkke: Sorry this just registered: how did you talk to an actual person at Friends of Hillary? I can never get past the voice menu.
I am getting nervous about tonights conference call. I have FOX on now and have not heard a word about the call, I wonder if they were told to pull the story.
ok what did i do wrong with the heart ???…lol
This VP choice is now becoming a bit for entertainment tonight. This is serious not a joke, either one of these VP choices could be President someday.
pa….not just dual but quadruple! If his father registered his birth he is a citizen of Great Britain and Kenya on his father’s side, Us on his mother’s, and Indonesian from his step father!!!

I hope and pray nobody needs a lawyer, but with the Obamabots stirring up trouble, it’s good to be prepared just in case.
SUGGESTION ON HOW TO CALM NERVES:
TAKE ACTION!!!
Lobby delegates is an amazing resource. Let’s not regret using it one more time between now and the convention.
We can theorize all we want about what’s going to happen, and post great links to articles and u-tube. I love all of that as much as the next M or F. But if we don’t discipline ourselves to set some boundary and make sure we take action to the max these last few days, we’re passing up an opportunity we won’t get again.
It feels good to do Murphy’s prowls no doubt. But, we don’t have to stop there. We can initiate our own actions as well.
I posted some of my older SD letters higher up in the thread (upper 400’s) if anyone wants to use all or part of them for their own letter and will post one more after this which anyone is free to use. (It’s the last one I sent.)
Let’s hit it out of the ballpark these next few days! One last burst of mega action before all we can do is watch the convention on tv.
(IMHO)
I’m rushing in and out today, still hoping someone will repost the contact for the woman who had a data base of pledged delegates. I want to contact her to see if she has e-mail addresses.
If your going to Denver and you live in a warm area….take a jacket….it gets cool at night.
#763 PADEM If you call her campaign office (703) 469-2008 and then press (4), you will get a receptionist. I usually ask for Jeramy as he is the person that was in charge of trying to get the supers that were running over to XO to switch to Hillary. That is why he told me that Hillary was not seeking the nomination, that and because of her standing in the party. I would hope that the supers do not destroy this party by backing an unqualified candidate as they will pay in November.
TOPIC: Air America
While driving today I heard a caller referring to earlier phone callers who were Clinton supporters.
Ed Schultz was the host, and the caller said, and I quote: “Hillary Clinton needs to just get up there at the Convention, and get mad and red in the face, and yell at her supporters to back Obama because we don’t want McCain in the White House,” and Schultz is all “yeah, that’s what she needs to do, but do you think that will happen?”
And the caller says “Well, no, my gut tells me that will not happen.”
“BBBBWWWWaaaaaa-Hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!”
Please go to Air America’s website today, & talk up the PUMA movement on their “Contact Us” page.
Direct your comments to Ed Schultz. Have fun.
Dear Superdelegates,
I am writing to you as a lifelong Democrat. After suffering through eight years of the Bush administration, I assume that we can agree that it is crucial that we nominate a Democratic candidate who can beat John McCain in the general election and who has the experience necessary to lead our country through these extraordinarily challenging times. The issues we face both nationally and internationally are monumental and complex.
While there has been a great deal of momentum to nominate Barack Obama, it is not a fait accompli. We cannot afford to make a misstep. We cannot be afraid to change course in the eleventh hour. We must be willing to speak truth to power. This is not the time to nominate a candidate with scant experience to this most awesome job of President of the United States.
Senator Clinton has spent 35 years dedicating her life to public service. She has an impressive grasp of national and international policy. She has a Congressional track record of legislative achievement. She has a brilliant platform. She won the popular vote. She won the key states Democrats must win in order to win in the general election. She won when she was outspent by Obama many times over. She won despite media bias toward Obama and the DNC not denouncing the sexism she faced. She has been vetted and survived.
In contrast, Senator Obama has precious little experience on the national or international stage. He has not sponsored any meaningful legislation as a U.S. Senator. As a state senator, he avoided controversial issues by frequently voting “present” and ignored the plight of impoverished families living in rundown housing that his friend and now convicted felon, Tony Rezko, owned. In fact, Senator Obama has a history of affiliating himself with shady characters who have at best, espoused hateful anti-Semitic and anti-American sentiments, and, at worst, who have been terrorists. Once these relationships are exposed, Senator Obama has a tendency to minimize them or claim innocence. Senator Obama also has a habit of going back on his word, evidenced by his betrayal of Alice Palmer in 1996, his broken commitment to the American people not to run for President back in 2004, and an ever-growing list of issues he has switched his position on within an extremely short period of time.
Since your role as a Superdelegate is strategic, consider also, that despite a substantial fundraising lead over John McCain and highly favorable media coverage, Senator Obama has not been able to establish and maintain a statistically significant lead over Senator McCain. Senator Obama has not been thoroughly vetted and the Republicans have not even begun to fight.
I urge each and every Superdelegate to look into your heart and engage your intellect as you ponder this serious decision you are going to make. I am left with little choice than to place my trust in your hands. I hope and pray that at the end of the day, I find you worthy of that trust.
We are at a crossroads. We cannot afford to nominate a neophyte for President of the United States. The stakes are too high. The risks are too great.
No matter where you stood up until today, your voice counts when you vote. I urge you to vote for Senator Hillary Clinton for our nominee for President of the United States.
Anna: Check your mail.
773 Anna7000 i had an email from Ricki Lieberman
saying she did. i think
PortiaElizabeth: You are absolutely right. Luckily a few pumas are lawyers, so that helps out.
A friend of mine told me that pumas should have lawyers with them, also security, and to video tape everything. Whistles, and others things help.
I also think pumas should each carry around contact info, including lawyers, etc. Bring water and needed medicine with you at all times, etc.
I’m sure there will be some kind of safety / preparation announcement.
ladyhawkke, I got blocked from a great deal of the SD’s mailboxes. Was I alone in that? ARe you just sending them out to the lists and letting some bounce back that won’t go through?
I have the list of State Delegates for RI, but I am having one hell of a time trying to get their email or other addresses- even on peoplefinder.com.
Anyone have any suggestions for hunting them down?
Did anyone get the email from Paul on radio blog this week when he posted it?
I started to but it was going so fast I missed most of it.
He is the young man that called in and said he was from Hillary’s office and has been on the radioblog as well. He was on with Murphy for quite a while.
He also said that he had gotten permission to come out and meet the PUMAs in Denver ( and hopefully deliver some good news).
I know Will Bower has it and if we can communicate with him maybe he can enlighten us to at least if this is just a general call.

TOPIC: Lightbulb joke
The original lightbulb joke I heard at the start of the primaries was:
Q – How many Obama supporters does it take to change a lightbulb?
A – (whining): “Aawww, that’s NOT funny!”
;D
Dear Senator Clinton,
I am a 58 year old American woman with cancer. Living in Chicago all my life, I have always been a Democrat. In the General elections I would sometimes split my ticket. After the Impeachment, I started voting a straight Democratic ticket. Then came the 2000 election scam. I was shocked that the Supreme Court picked our leader. I knew that we had to get the White House back. We had to save the country from the Republicans. This is the reason I voted for Obama as a US Senator. There was no other reason to vote for him. Obama was a Democrat and we needed to stop Bush from doing any more harm.
This is how I truly felt, that is, until this primary season. I was at the DC rally in protest to our party not counting all the votes. This was the day my heart broke. I knew I could never vote for a Democrat again, (unless you became our nominee and took our Party back). How could the party I believed in, my party, the Democratic party, do the same thing we all complained about in 2000? The Democratic leadership selected their nominee. Now my eyes are entirely open. I am no longer blind. We have to save the country from the extreme sides in both parties.
This is why the American people need you to hold on to your PLEDGED delegates. We need the end of this process to be fair. We voted too. We need to have our voices heard through the people we appointed. The convention should have a recorded history of the true delegate count for the nominees. Please do not release your delegates before they cast our votes for you. Please help us be heard.
You are the one we need now.
D. White from Chicago

Hillary would be non-existent to me, after a brief but excessive crying spell, should she step foot on a ticket with that man.
This goes WAY beyond the overt and evil Sexism I saw displayed by America and the world.
This goes WAY beyond the lying, cheating, and stealing.
This goes WAY beyond the Race Card being played to such an extent that racial politics are WORSE than before MLK (and they are if you care to really look and listen).
This goes WAY beyond the DNC selling out the principles of the DNC for a few bucks.
This goes WAY beyond all of these points COMBINED because this has to do with AMERICA and the principles on which this country was founded. REPRESENTATION is the single most important feature of our country, and without it we are just another 3rd world fascist dictator led aristocrazy.
I would NEVER vote for any ticket with that man, and I will NEVER vote Democrat again in my life if they do what I think they are doing. There is no going back for me. Nominate Hillary, kick the garbage to the curb or loose me and my family. Republicans look pretty darn good to me these days, as to Independents. This year it will be straight Republican if Hillary is NOT THE ONE and next year and every year after Independent….
HILLARY NOW. READ MY LIPS. HILLARY NOW.

I think it is a good point to remind people, this is about more than Hillary. This is about a party who doesn’t really give a s*&t about us and thinks we have no where else to go so therefore, they count our vote because they think we will come around.
I was prepared to vote McCain and then democrat down-ticket, but guess what? Straight republican for me if the roll call is nothing but shenanigans!
Ok I am back now and head ache free! Thanks for keeping the video message going!!

Thanks to all of those helping and/or trying to help me with the e-mail I needed. Got it and sent her a note. (I had one letter in the address written down wrong from this morning’s post. Ugh.)

GOSUE!! Yes Ma’am. It came to me the other day I will punish ALL democrats because they are ALL responsible. Now is the time for good people to step forward and DO THE RIGHT THING. We are Americans first and foremost, and I will remember names come November. Democrats will be OUT, and REPUBLICANS IN. Like I said before, if Hillary is not on the ticket as president and that man out like stinking garbage, I will view McCain’s whopping big victory as HILLARY’S VICTORY.
And I will party on GE night as if she has won….
DO THE RIGHT THING DEMOCRATS–far and wide, big and small. Step up, make your voices heard, stop selling us out, and nominate Hillary Clinton for President NOW!
We are watching, and we will NEVER FORGET!

Additional medical-related travel tips (I’m on my third, but my second career was in health care):
In addition to carrying any medication you may need, carry a card that lists:
- any medications you take (name, dose, frequency)
- anything you’re allergic to
- name and phone number of your primary doctor
- chronic medical diagnoses
Also, in case you were to wind up in the slammer or a local hospital, have a letter from your doctor about any medical-related issues that you think may need to be verified beyond your word.

Is there another fax number to send the letters to Hillary?
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 19, 2008
OBAMA: THE MAN BEHIND THE MASK, BY ANDY MARTIN, RECEIVES NATIONAL ADVERTISING BEFORE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION
(NEW YORK)(August 19, 2008) Orange State Press (“OSP”) has begun a National radio advertising campaign for Obama: The Man Behind The Mask, by Andy Martin.
“The book is selling very well both on our own web site and through Amazon.com,” states Linda Smith, OSP’s Managing Director for Marketing and Promotion. “OSP felt the time was right, on the eve of the Democratic National Convention in Denver, to ‘freshen’ Andy’s book with a new round of national advertising. Initially we are using the Rush Limbaugh program, with local buys, as our platform. Later we will branch out to programs such as Don Imus. The book is attracting a ‘diverse’ audience of buyers: Democrats, Republicans and independents.
“The fact that serious questions have been raised about books by competing authors, and the fact that no questions or attacks have been directed at our book, give us confidence that Obama: The Man Behind The Mask will have staying power. It is the only book by a Chicago-based author who understands the unique culture of corruption in which Senator Obama has flourished.
“We are just finishing our test marketing, and will begin to roll out the ads based on listener response. Our advertising campaign will support both our own marketing and Amazon.com’s sales as well. The initial ad is available on request as a jp3.”
807 jenniforhillary
you know who i hold responsible….the one or ones that encouraged BO to run in the first place,,,very bad judgement.
Yes, I say everyone MUST make up a card size contact sheet in case of emergency. Take a sturdy index card and cut it smaller into credit card size. You can laminate it with clear book cover paper, or just using clear tape.
One side should be Serious Emergency info:
*Friend or family member contact info “In case of emergency contact X”
*Number for your lawyer
*List any serious illnesses, conditions or allergies
*List any medications you take
Other Side–good in case you get lost or separated:
*Puma contacts
*Address & info of where you are staying
*Local taxi service numbers
Ya, and again, must always have water with you, needed medicines, travel very very light, and make copies of any identification you bring along and keep the photo copies separate and at the place wear you are staying.
But, like I said earlier, I know all pumas will get safety / preparation info.
The best fax # is the one you received!
Hi Guys…still working on things. (Aren’t we all always?)
All’s I have is one PUMA shirt (which I love and got at Wayne’s dinner a couple weeks back). Uhm, if anyone can bring some nifty size M’s to Denver, I’ll happily sport some gear. 
I got a list of NE delegates and SD’s physical addresses last night. If anyone is interested in arranging for a visit to their delegates before the convention to ask them to represent for Hill, let me know and I’ll either post it here if I can or mail it out to you.
I am looking for a similar list, only with email contacts if possible? If anyone has email contacts for NY/NJ/PA delegates, please post, or mail me at Kerriwyn at aol?
Thanks!
BTW: I am SADLY lacking in Hillary/PUMA gear!
K, catch ya’s later.

Borders was my next stop. Before I retired I spent a fortune on political books, but now I get them from the library. I was just at the bookstore slipping our business cards in the books and was surprised that B&N did not have the one I think is probably the most credible, but haven’t read it yet.
#833 PAULHILLARY Hello, glad to see you here. Called Jeramy and he is not telling me what I want to hear.
Is he programmed to say what he does? Anyway, I hope to hear good news as the suspense is killing me. Everyone knows XO is not qualified.
Sorry, I meant
LOL….yea he has the “party lines” written down at his desk. Always has and always will!
Lou Dobbs now is good

here is the fax I sent.I decided to keep it short and to the point…
Dear Senator Clinton,
Please do not release your delegates to obama during the nomination process. We are two of the 18 million who supported you and we still do.
You are simply the best candidate for President of these United States. My husband and I both support you and would be proud to cast a vote for you.
We will not vote as Democrats, for the first time in our lives, if you are not the nominee. A vice-presidential slot with obama as President is beneath your skills and capabilities.He would just continue to use and blame you for his many failures.
Please do not throw this chance away.According to all the polls and many grass-root organizations, obama is simply not electable. You are our only hope.
Keep the Faith!!
what? did everyone leave? everyone just hates my fax? what??
site is weird today
LOL when did you send it I will it add it to my wall of fame
Is it safe to assume that, since service to Obama’s campaign is a requisite to getting tickets to attend the convention, no PUMA’s will actually be inside and observe fiirst-hand? Not even Murphy, or Will?
I really, really like Lou Dobbs…I’d vote for him.
a few minutes ago..it just went through..I had gone to the library earlier but theirs was not working..so I found this one..
I was wondering about that myself, MountainSong…like, how can we score some tickets? Surely they’re on ebay or something…?
Sunshinelvr your fax is GREAT!!!!!
WOOOHOOOO!!
I really do like it. (:
Read the last paragraph. This is one confusing “tennis match” and for me, I hope it is just another “decoy.” I could at this point support this match.

also I did put Puma Democrats on the bottom
“I’ve gotten literally hundreds of letters over the last week from women saying they would still love it if she were the nominee, or if he would pick her,” said Geraldine A. Ferraro, a Clinton supporter and the only woman to be on a major-party ticket, as the Democratic vice-presidential nominee in 1984.
Hundreds is not enough…we should send her some more..LOL

D-Day
I would not be suprised if positions become better defined over the next two days. I revolves around the FEC financial disclosures of the 20th. Once those official numbers are out, it will be clearer about what the parties involved will be able to do.
If the information on the Politico is correct, the questions remaining are: Did BO transfer money from the Obama Victory Fund to pad his numbers again? and How much debt do the BO/DNC funds have?
BO’s cash on hand went DOWN $5.9 million, while the combined BO/DNC went up $1.9 million but that also needs to be offset by any debt.
And what about Clinton?
bigcat..there has been a bi fight over andy martin’s book. he will only sell through ocp and amazon and B&n and borders are furious that he letting amazon sell
Also, another reference to this over at AOL. I saw this link when I voted on the straw poll. It is breaking political news.

Passes to the convention hall go only to delegates and party officials. It’s tickets to BOs speech at the stadium that the public can ‘earn’ by working for the campaign.

Funding Misconceptions
I got into some discussions with some BO supporters who believe that McCain is going to be limited to $80 million dollars in his Presidential Campaign. They are under the impression that the messiah of fund raising is in some position to stomp McCain. Here is an article that explains the Public/Private funding game a little more realistically:
http://www.jedreport.com/2008/06/mccain-to-raise.html
Last swing by for a while. I have to go do some work.

No apologies needed there blue blue gal.
I think instead of an F or M I will place a “o” then I will follow that with a small case “L” then another “o” . (try it and see why I gave directions)
Should get my message across.
Before I sign off I just want to say one thing.
I can’t believe how many people on this website do not give HRC credit for being an intelligent woman. Worrying over the VP thing is not going to do you any good. She’s way to smart to be associated with him. I think the meeting is going to be about planning a coup. She’s got plenty of smarts up her sleeves. Please give her the credit she deserves for that trait.
Today is President Clinton’s birthday. Born 1946 in Hope, Arkansas. Pass it on!

Oops – that didn’t come out right spacing-wise, but you can discern the meaning right?
Additional travelling tips:
If you require medications, keep at least one days worth on your person
If you wear a medic alert bracelet, don’t leave home without it
Do not leave any money, cards, etc in your hotel room
Make sure your shoes are comfortable and have been broken in, you’ll pay a high price for wearing new shoes
Pack a few band-aids and tylenol or advil, carry these on you
A small pack of wet naps are good (you can pop into any fast food place and grab a handful) these will help you feel fresh after standing around a few hours
All the above will take up very very little space in a backpack or pocket
Most Important… do not count on others bringing what you don’t have, they have their own things to pack.
That’s my advice for the night
Any other PUMAs listen to Ed Hale’s radio show? It was one of his past shows. The caller was from NY and said that she had attended a recent fundraiser. There was audio of Hillary answering questions. They asked her about the VP possibility. From what I heard, the question was asked if she would accept the VP position. She replied “It is highly unlikely that she would be considered, but that it was one’s duty to serve if asked.” I don’t remember hearing a date of when that fundraiser was held. Does anyone know of a recent NY fundraiser that Hillary attended? Not pushing for her candidacy as a VP, but trying to connect some dots.
Can someone help me?I don’t know how to export a picture from “my picture”folder into an email. I’m using IncrediMail. I can use Yahoo also.

Me thinks Geraldine Ferraro has been misreading our letters if she thinks we want Hillary on the ticket as VP, or maybe ferraro is spinning it the way she would like to see it so Hillary supporters could share in some of the spoils of victory. I do admit she is by far the biggest asset to get him elected, but I still don’t want to see that happen.
Chris and gang say nobody is paying attention to this race yet that is how out of touch they are I don’t know anyone who isn’t paying attention. You might want to take some depends they have no bathrooms in thier makeshift jail only kidding

Caracel – terrific videos. I look forward to each one.
HilorMac – loved your reaching out to Obama supporters. Might actually work.
Would love to be in Denver with you but am unable to.
Will keep you in my thoughts and wish you all the best.
#886 kids Hahaha lol…..Hi sis. Thanks for including me on that donation the other day. Love you.
#875 mzebest,
I agree. We need to stop with all the speculation and negativity. Michelle is not going to let BO choose Hillary for VP and Hillary knows what she is doing. Let’s just stick to our guns and let her do her thing.
# 881 caribbeanpuma
I am not familiar with that program. However, generally if you look at the menu drop down boxes (normally) at the top of a program you can learn to do just about anything. Then as a last resort go to the help file and search there.
Nader thinks Obama will choose Hillary:
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0808/12652.html
Also, CNN’s Anderson Cooper asks if the tide is turning, and he too seems to think Obama should seriously consider Hillary:
http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/08/19/anderson-cooper-is-the-tide-turning/
Ok, so that is the 4th Hillary VP buzz article I have seen today. Something might be up. This is how it happens, in trickles…
HILLARY: Obama will lose even if he’s with you. Please do not ruin your political career by joining him. He will lose! There is way too much controversy surrounding him, and he has a lot more coming to him!
Just fight to get the nomination, and then come back in 4 years if you can’t get it now.
He can’t win Hillary, not even with you. I’m sorry to say it. Just stay away from him! Obama is radioactive.
puma
To all you wonderful PUMAs going to Denver -
Remember to use “ICE + phone number” (In Case of Emergency) in your cell phone directory. The police now know to look for it.
I use three ICE numbers (my two children and my doctor).
You ALL may want to include a PUMA buddy’s number.
Just a thought from a caring PUMA.
Thank you – Be Safe – God Speed!

#856 Jeremy I had already seen that article; however, I emphatically cannot support that ticket. No BO ever!

*** PUMA VIDEO MESSAGE FOR HILLARY ***
1of18million suggested putting together a video of PUMAs.
Caracal Carrie, witchway2go@hotmail.com, is accepting submissions for inclusion into the You Tube video.
If you want to send a personal message to Hillary this is the time to do it. You can attach a picture of yourself or of another image that reflects what you wrote. Please keep your message to no more than three sentences.
This will be played on our plasmas along with other member submitted videos at our locations in Denver.
If you want to video record a personal message to Hillary – contact Trish to get it on our You Tube channel.
#897:
So we should dedicate it to Hillary? Or to Pumas out in Denver? Or should we mention Puma to Hillary, ya know…what’s the main theme?
#851 MountainSong
No worry because it will be Senator Clinton’s acceptance speech and she will likely let everyone in!
: )
Some advice for the travelers.
A small wooden wedge or one of those plastic ones makes an excellent second lock for your door.
If you have any valuables, leave them with the hotel. All hotels have a safe and will gladly store them for you when you are out of your room.
If anyone comes to your door and claims to be management call the front desk BEFORE you open the door.
Get a map of the area you are going to be in.
Never travel anywhere alone if you can avoid it.
Keep all cash, I.D. and credit cards separate from your wallet or purse.Pick pockets and purse snatchers love these events.
Have “throw away money”. A few dollar bills in a roll around some paper in case you are accosted. Try and have the bills in sequence. That way if anything happens you can throw the money and run. Being in sequence you can report the incident and give the police evidence.
If you are traveling with a group have a meet up point and time in case you get separated.
I used to travel a lot and these little things always kept my mind at ease.
All, it is essential that you understand Hillary’s obligation in all of this. She DOES NOT have the choice to turn down VP. If asked she will serve as the party has asked her to. That comes with having a “(d)” behind your name. Either you support Hill or you do not. Do not place expectations on your support of her, otherwise you will always be disappointed. Further, if the DNC must remove his name from the ballot in the future Hillary would step up into the Presidential spot….No conspiracy theory just explaining.
#895 ladyhawkke,
I agree and I could NOT support it either. I stated that in my first entry and then corrected the statment after I read the post. I don’t want her associated with Obama or his campaign in any way. The stump speeches/rallies are hard enough for me to read about or watch. She is “overqualified” for VP and it IS not in her “pay scale” to have to be part of this DNC tragedy.
Please play 20 questions at : http://www.walkamileinourshoes.org/play20questions.html
It has questions like if Hillary Clinton were on the ticket would you vote for her?
This is an excellent poll, please take the time to do it, it only takes a minute.
Thanks!
One Love
Well I have my extra prowl for tomorrow.
No lengthy letters. No begging and pleading.
I am going to print in the biggest letters I can put on a page to Fax “NO VP” with “I Respectfully Thank You” and send it off to Hillary and Geraldine.
This way the message will not be embedded that VP doesn’t work for us either.
I was trying to tell you that I was in on the conference call
Daddy’s Darlin! I’ve been thinking about you all day! Please email me asap at murphy@pumapac.org
Thanks!
New post up folks — GREAT day today — it is AMAZING watching all of this come together.
take it upstairs!
3901 Paulhillary,
Hate to disagree but, Hillary most certainly can decline to be VP. She would be under no legal requirement(that I know of) to serve.
Furthermore, it would serve the “party” better for her to be in the senate.
I just received an email from Michael Moore (sicko). It’s all about who should be BO’s vp pick. He’s trying to convince Caroline Kennedy that, get this, she should put her name in for vp.
If he’s thinking that the Kennedy name can carry the ticket…NOT! The Kennedy dynasty is fading into the sunset.
PaulHillary,
I don’t understand why you say that she wouldn’t have a choice and she would HAVE to VP. Lots of democrats have turned down the offer…so what do you mean?
snowtiger
I am the same way. I love being organized and prepared like that. It really does keep the mind at ease.
I did read somewhere (from an experienced protestor sort) that people should not wear shorts, flip flops, loose sandals as well.
Depending on how hot it will be, it probably is a good idea to wear jeans and sturdy shoes.
You know, I’m sure everything will be totally fine, but just in case of a scuffle, or in case of being held somewhere, it is just a good idea. I say jeans and timberland style boots. Feels secure: clothes offer protection, and you never know if one will have to sit down for a long amount of time on the ground, etc.
Just an idea I heard about.
More travel tips:
#894 Gordana
If this hasn’t already been said, also put your name and number on everything, so that if anything gets lost/stolen, then there is a contact #. This includes all travel bags, equipment such as cameras and phones (may use stickers instead), writing pads and journals, important clothes.
For all suitcases and carry-ons, always put your name and phone number both on the inside and outside of the bag.
Also, take a few extra days of medications as you NEVER know what can happen. In my case, I was stuck in a very unexpected hurricane and I ran out of meds.
Pack a hat and sunscreen. It will be hot and very humid.
Give friends/relatives all your contact info. and including someone else’s like your PUMA buddy. So,they can always be able to reach you in case of emergencies. Also give them your travel and loging info. and a copy of the Denver agenda so they have a general idea where you could be and when, again, in case of emergency.
I have traveled ALOT and may have more travel tips. I will try to pass them on and hope they aren’t repeats from other posts.
Have a great time in Denver and let’s rock the world!
lol

My dear friends,
It is so exciting to watch you get ready for Denver…
I want to send you my best wishes from France and tell you good luck.
You must feel so impatient now that the great moment has almost arrived !
I would have liked so much to be with you and to live this historical moment with you …
But as I can’t be in Denver, I’m doing my best here to contribute to the cause, trying to continue to inform everybody in France of what is going on in your country…
I’ve also sent a message to the Friends of Hillary to tell her that we all want her to continue the fight at the convention…
My dear, dear PUMAS, Thank you so much for your great courage, your resilience, your enthusiasm, your fighting spirit. The way you have behaved during this summer will remain a lesson for everybody. Never losing hope, always in a good mood even when the news were not so good.
Thank you, thank you for everything ! I will never forget what you have done for Hillary ! You are so GREAT !
People in France are on your side !

Windows xp, called 1Cleanup, but do not run it unless you have a way to backup all files and settings up! I did, and now I’m waiting to install updates, and I don’t have a flash drive, so when I install these updates I’ll lose everything
