Overnight THANK YOU’s

by murphy on August 20, 2008

in Celebrate!, Denver, Puma PAC

(thanks to goandersen for finding the graphic)

Puma PAC starts heading to Denver from the east, north, south, and west tomorrow, Folks. Tonight I want to thank each and every Puma PAC member and friend who has made this possible. Back when we started, we weren’t sure if we should go to Denver at all. The whole Coronation of the Precious just seemed like a downer. But then we started sending our hundreds of thousands of letters to delegates and officials; we started making tens of thousands of phone calls to the DNC; we started sending tens of thousands of faxes to the media, the state houses, the capitol, and the campaign headquarters. After that we started seeing our name, Puma PAC, in print, on the radio, and on TV. We started getting letters back from delegates and phone calls from Party officials. WE STARTED TO REALIZE THAT OUR VOICES WERE BEING HEARD AND OUR INDIVIDUAL, COORDINATED ACTIONS WERE HAVING AN EFFECT.

And then we said to each other. You BET YOUR ASS WE’RE GOING TO DENVER!

And then we realized that it was going to be ONE HECK of an effort to get ourselves there and to be effective. We leased office space. We ordered signs and banners. We designed t-shirts and posters. We planned a party. We invited bloggers and radio hosts. We looked for cheap hotels and guest houses. We bought markers and poster board and cups and plates and water bottles and a bulletin board and a bull horn. We rented a stage and a microphone and speakers. 

And then we raised the money — over $25,000 raised in just a few short weeks, most of it last weekend in one enormous push. WE DID IT — YOU, each and every one of you reading this, MADE THIS HAPPEN.

Because of the generosity of Puma PAC members and friends, today Puma PAC is helping over 100 Pumas get to Denver from more than 20 cities all around the country. I want to list the places from which Puma PAC members are traveling to Denver because of YOU.

Washington D.C.

Shippensburg PA

Boston MA

Baltimore MD

Wichita KS

Los Angeles CA

Fernley NV

Cherry Hills NJ

Kingston NY

Jacksonville FL

Ocean City MD

New Albany NY

San Francisco CA

Cypress TX

Plainfield IL

San Diego CA

Medway MA

Miami FL

Houston TX

Chicago IL

Cleveland OH

Austin TX

Fort Wayne IN

Wilmington DE

Without your commitment, your passion, and your HELP, none of this would be possible. I am humbled and inspired by every Puma PAC member in America. We set out on June 3rd to make history. In Denver we will reach that goal. After Denver, no matter what happens, we will be here — at www.pumapac.org — to take the next steps in our journey.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE, ALL THAT YOU ARE DOING, AND ALL THAT YOU WILL DO.

I just wanted to get online long enough to tell the Pumas going to Denver:

BE Careful and have fun. Thank you so much for representing us. We will be with you in spirit. I can’t wait to hear all of your stories when you return.

Go Pumas!!!

Can’t go to Denver but I’ll be right here waiting and cheering you all on.

It is very sad to see Hillary’s notes of compassion for the families of Stephanie Tubbs Jones and Bill Gwatney on her website. Friends like these cannot be replaced. There will be a permanent emptiness.

I hope the Pumas take Denver by storm. I am One of the 18 Million that will not forget and will not fall in line.

Billie Jo – Thanks for the offer. Sounds like the data base you’re using is very current. Probably a bit after-the-fact for me since I’m more than 90% through the list using lobby delegates. I only have a few more states using the undecided category. What was the link where you got that data base, I’m curious. I didn’t notice it (drat!).

I have no idea what the name of the link was, it is on the blog from much earlier today. Like I said, I looked for it for awhile but it took too long to find.

greenfun 08.20.08 at 9:23 pm

Stephanie Tubbs -Jones had such a beautiful, courageous spirit. I absolutely adored her. I think we Pumas should observe a moment of silence in her honor while we are in Denver.

I saw this over at Hillary is 44.

Update: Our hearts break. The wonderful and brave Stephanie Tubbs-Jones is dead. Many days and nights during this year, especially the tough nights, Stephanie Tubbs-Jones sustained us. She was a fighter like Hillary. Stephanie Tubbs-Jones could not be intimidated. She stood by Hillary and principle. Stephanie Tubbs-Jones also worked on voting rights with Hillary and fought the good fight for Ohio voters in the aftermath of the 2004 election. We’ll miss you Stephanie.

Fights of Angels sing thee to thy rest.

Have you noticed that the only pumas willing to go out on a limb and pick the VPs are Texans (Blue Blue Gal, 1gypsy4mc, maxgrader and just a moment ago, Texas Tigress)?

Las Vegas, you say? Humph. Can’t you tell it’s really only Texans who have the boots for that place? :-)

Hi, PUMAs,

Here is a link to a New York Times piece today about the rumors surrounding Joe Biden as possible VP. I heard this earlier this afternoon and posted it on the previous thread. Biden says: “I’m not the guy.”

http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/08/19/biden-busts-his-own-buzz/?scp=2&sq=biden&st=cse

Junior is supposed to campaign with his yet-to-be-named VP this Saturday in Springfield, IL. Does anyone know where HRC will be on Saturday? Please don’t say “Springfield”!

For U.S. Representative Tubbs-Jones, Shalom

During the ’60s, before he was a U.S. Representative, John Lewis marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. across the Pettus Bridge in Selma, AL, and received a fractured skull for his efforts. Forty-five years later, he supported his long-time friend, U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton, the former First Lady, for the Democratic nomination for POTUS. Supporters of her opponent, Senator Obama, harassed by for taking sides with this white woman over him. At some point, perhaps succumbing to such overwhelming pressure, he switched his endorsement and, for several months now, has maintained support for him.

Meanwhile, targeted for months by vile misogynistic depravity accompanied by death threats, Representative Tubbs-Jones remained steadfast in her support for Mrs. Clinton, citing loyalty above all else.

At the Saddleback forum the other night, Senator McCain was asked as President, which 3 people would he seek out for counsel. He named Representative Lewis, citing not just his lengthy career of public service but also that incident on the Pettus Bridge, when he received a fractured skull for marching for civil rights; pointing out he retains optimistic about the prospects for our country.

Regardless of whether Senator Obama takes the nomination, his supporters, angered he wasn’t always on board, have targeted Representative Lewis in his bid for re-election.

Assured by these same zealots they would support her opponent, Representative Tubbs-Jones remained loyal to her friend. Only after the primary elections were over, when Senator Clinton indicated she would now support her opponent (back then he seemed likely to be the nominee); did Ms. Tubbs-Jones switch her endorsement to him, too.

I sent money to her campaign.

Please, my vote for a song to accompany photographs of Ms. Tubbs-Jones is “Hero,” by Mariah Carey. Here are the lyrics.

There’s a hero if you look inside your heart
You don’t have to be afraid of what you are
There’s an answer if you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know will melt away

And then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside and you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone look inside you and be strong
And you’ll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you

It’s a long road when you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
You can find love if you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt will disappear

And then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside and you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone look inside you and be strong
And you’ll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you

Lord knows dreams are hard to follow
But don’t let anyone tear them away
Hold on there will be tomorrow
In time you’ll find the way

And then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside and you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone look inside you and be strong
And you’ll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you

#44 roxy4hill2 – Several times tonight FOX has repeated the story about a get together with some top McCain supporters either today or yesterday, and Hillary’s brother attended. No reason given. FOX is as surprised as everyone else.

At the same time FOX also reported that Bill Clinton was saying really nice things about McCain this wk – something about how McCain was the top Republican when it came to the environment, etc.

TXPuma 08.20.08 at 9:47 pm

Elizabeth Joyce predictions on VP 2008:

For sure…my psychic sense sees that a woman will occupy the White House as vice president as a result of the 2008 election, but not president. It’s just not Hillary’s time yet, as I have psychic stated for the past three years.

The male presidential candidate who runs with a woman vice presidential candidate on the ticket will win the election by a landslide. Obama or Gore will take the lead. What others are not thinking about at this time are the coming earth changes. They begin heavily after the February eclipses. America may call on and try to draft Al Gore to enter the presidential race. Psychic predictions everywhere state that we are reaching a point where the public is intrigued with the idea of a female president, but as a country we tend to take cautious steps.

In case anyone is interested – CNN is showing REVEALED – just finished mccain and doing the big liar now – he’s still speaking bullsh@t & get this – his half sister is speaking for him & very carefully parsing words – guess grandma is still under the bus – makes me want to throw up – no mention of the communists, etc. and barry was a nickname & the indonesian dude was not a father figure i guess grandpa wasn’t either – cuz he just said he grew up without a father figure or mentor – what a jackass

58

atypical 08.20.08 at 9:51 pm

Hasn’t anyone had that text message yet? Maybe someone has a big decision that is taking more time than planned.
I do think that McCain will try to incorporate his friend Hillary into this, probably over Conservative’s objections.

59

Susie1945 08.20.08 at 9:53 pm

Just as an aside – they made sure that every detail (good & bad) of mccains life was brought up and aired again – I’m keeping track to see what, if anything, is brought up on precious – so far CNN still in the tank……………………

Slick Barry just sent me another letter begging for money-
Once again I simply wrote “PUMA!” on a piece of paper and mailed it right back to him in the postage-paid envelope. I may have only wasted a few cents of his millions, but it still feels good to imagine one of his goons opening it and getting flustered.

Good luck in Denver folks! I’m there in spirit!

Sad, they talked about a new PAC with Hillary and Stephanie Tubbs Jones.
Also, Paul from Friends of Hillary site, said they got about 4000 emails the other day from us, to keep it us and they are saving them.

Let’s keep sending a letter to Hillary every day until the convention.

NYCgirl 08.20.08 at 9:56 pm

NO, MURPHY — THANK YOU!

… for your leadership, above all. If only the Democratic Party had such leaders!

I have been blogging here since the day after Hill suspended. I went on her website’s blog to see what other Clintonites were saying about her speech. Someone said they were outraged, and they were no longer “a Democrat”. The person said, “We are not ‘Democrats’ — We are Clinton Democrats!”

Then someone else posted a link to Clinton Dems. I went over to that site, and saw a bunch of links on there. PUMA Pac was just one of the links I checked out. I was immediately blown away by the pensive photo of Hillary and the header, which read:

“THANK YOU, HILLARY CLINTON. WE’LL TAKE IT FROM HERE.”

And so we have. I became a PUMA.

We are “the resistance”, Murphy. This is what was going on in France during WWII when the French government was collaborating with the Nazis, telling the people to sit down and shut up, and forget about democracy. That is how the Resistance was born.

Everybody go watch “Casablanca”. And think about Resistance leader Victor Laszlo and his famous quote to Rick Blaine:

“Welcome back to the fight. This time, I know our side will win.”

Take care, Murphy and all valiant PUMAs! I look forward to keeping up with events here in Fun City while you cats rock Denver. (Yeah, you better not forget NYC!!) :-)

MURPHY, WE HAVE YOUR BACK!

Murphy

I joined you here on June 7th, a night I will never forget. Like-minded souls directed us from Hillary’s old village (thanks, goandersen); and I found strength and reassurance in the words that introduced you, “Thank you, Hillary Clinton. We’ll take it from here.” Boy! Did you ever live up to that promise?!

I’ve been pretty quiet here, as on other blogs, but I visit daily. I’ve sent letters to delegates and media. I’ve met with my local PUMApac. But I don’t think I ever said, “Thank you” to you.

So this message comes late but it is no less sincere for its tardiness. I am awed by all that you have accomplished in such a short time. And last week, when you and Will faced Shuster (I think that is his name), I could not have been prouder. You two held your own with grace and dignity while he spewed rubbish. Know that many, unseen, stand with you and travel with you to Denver.

Thank you, Murphy

Godspeed, PUMAs.

Congratulations to Murphy et al on all of the outstanding accomplishments. Good luck in Denver. I will be watching and praying for great success.

Honor her spirit while you are in Denver. Go PUMAs!

REPOST FROM KERRI DOWNSTAIRS

Any PUMA’s who are seeking lodging in Denver:
I have found a residence wich can hold any number of people, 3-6, actually, for the price of 50 dollars per person per night. Apparently they are HRC supporters and thus we get a “bargain” rate. Heh, if you ask me, the Coloradians are making a killing!
But, that is neither here nor there! The price is true, as I’ve been searching for days now! LOL This situation has a two large and real beds, two rooms, plus a kitchen area and private bathrooms and entrances.
If you’re interested contact the “host” at mbarfels over at comcast dot net. Also, if you’d be so good as to just drop ME a line to let me know how many spaces you’ve booked, as I’m trying to keep track of such options for other PUMA’s in need of shelter. As ever, I’m reachable at Kerriwyn and that’s over on aol
Alright then.

From somber events the birth of a new movement, called PUMA, has been nothing short of phenomenal. It may well be the catalyst for a whole new political party, since Obama & Co. has pretty much destroyed the old Democratic Party. Not a bad idea, Murphy, not bad at all. You really rock, Sister.

Stephanie Tubbs -Jones had such a beautiful, courageous spirit. I absolutely adored her. I think we Pumas should observe a moment of silence in her honor while we are in Denver.

Yes, this is too sad for words.
I hope at the candle lite ceramony maybe we can all have a minute for silence or prayers.

Michelle, I say MO would be the one’s choice.

Queen, Who can help him with the abortion flap? It’s a biggie and if he is nominated, he’s going to have to step up his “register and vote” scam beyond Ohio.

And remember, the rest of us have your back.
Thank you Murphy and all the rest who work so hard to make things happen and keep things going.

I am so glad they have enough delegates, but does everyone else believe that about Hillary having a whip team or whatever it is called to silence protestors and stand in front of them with signs? Why would she do that if she feels that we need the chance to scream and yell for our candidate and have a “catharsis”? Has anyone asked Paul if this is true?

Hill4me 08.20.08 at 10:25 pm

does anyone else remember that Hillary had mentioned in her Bio, as well as it being on a a vid (think on her HRC site that we all used to frequent) that her dad and family were steadfast Republicans? She actually was too, until after college and at some point converted over to the Dems–not sure of the exact timing. So, it might be totally understandable why it’s easy for her as Senator to cross Party lines and have good Repub friends as well. This meeting with McCain group may just be that and nothing more.
Not going to project any Veeps or other opps at this point. It’s way too “rollercoaster” and hear-say. Just have to trust that the lady in the pantsuit knows what she’s doing.
But just for the record, I’d made my decision back in February. Based on the facts, the rhetoric, and my woman-in-business gut screaming loud & clear, still and will always be ‘NObama’.

So if there are any delegates or SDs, or even HRC herself reading our blog tonite, know that I’m just one out of many here who are not budging from our Puma mission.

ALL PUMAS GOING TO DENVER, Godspeed and watch your back! The rest of us will help hold down the fort.

#129 BigCatLover

thanks, but this is the article I am talking about:

In an unusual move, Hillary Clinton’s staff is creating a 40-member “whip team” at the Denver Democratic convention to ensure that her supporters don’t engage in embarrassing anti-Obama demonstrations during the floor vote on her nomination, according to people familiar with the planning.

The team, which is being organized by longtime Clinton staffer Craig Smith, is working in conjunction with Obama’s floor organizers to help foster the image of a unified front during a roll-call process Clinton herself has described as an emotional “catharsis” for her disappointed supporters.

I was just wondering about the truth in it, or if Hillary is really supporting it.

“The number of super delegates has gotten too large in relation to overall delegates,” Plouffe said. “We want to give more control back to the voters…. Everyone thinks there ought to be more weight given to the results of the elections.”

Gee who the heck took control away from the voters all the superdelagets who were able to be bought may god give you a just reward he is so good at that. This is the second time today that I have seen his jerks say we now need to change the process this came from The Trail.

TOPIC: Free Speech Zone – Knowing our Rights

Re: changes4me’s post about the “Free Speech Zone” in Denver.

I won’t comment on that directly but rather wanted to mention I’ve a call into my attorney about rights of demonstrators and the law in the state of Colorado. All of us attending the Denver will need to abide by the state of Colorado’s laws, which I’m guessing aren’t any more stringent than any other state’s.

Usually, I hear back from my attorney (Pre Paid Legal Services) on the same day that I call. I’ve been a member for almost 10 years and this is almost always the case. So, I thought it odd that I didn’t hear back today.

My Best-Guess is that the attorney is really studying up on everything he / she needs to advise me. When I hear back tomorrow I will post it all here. Also, while I hope I don’t need to I can call this attorney any time of day while in Denver so that’s a good thing (hey, hang w/me, at least I’ll know y(our) rights!).

Just wanted to get the word out ahead of time for any PUMA’s going to Denver who might want to check back in tomorrow! Stay tuned…

We will be proud of ourselves next week when we just see how things play out.

hey, if Paul shows up would somebody ask him about the Politico story about the whip team covering up protestors at the convention? I can’t imagine Hillary would be okay with that…

hillstheone 08.20.08 at 10:43 pm

Murphy you forgot the whole state of Oregon.
(Nobody here blames you tho since it is / was a Koolaid Victory, haha)…!

On a related note, recent headline said “Election to be decided in America’s suburbs.”
That made me laugh as I saw my first “NoBama” bumper sticker on the back of a pickup at the end of my street!

I’m not supposed to be here (don’t yell at me Anna) but just wanted to say thank you to Murphy, DWP, Maryland PUma and Mama Puma for all you have done and will continue to do for us. Nothing short of miraculous –
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the ony thing that ever has”….Margaret Mead
I did that from memory, but think it’s accurate!
You are our S-heros and Heros…..
Good luck everyone – I know you will do us proud!

I read the story but don’t know enough about Politico to know if that is a spin. I can’t imagine that HRC thought that would be a problem with her delegates. BOs delegates could definitely be a problem for HRC.

I understand, just know that we all understand how important your being part of Denver is and we will need the support of all of you here if things get crazy there. A tiny part of me is trying to prepare for the psychodrama that may come if Hillary’s delegates step up and all the hopes of precious supporters are dashed. Then PUMAs should get the h@ll out of Dodge quickly. If things go poorly for Hillary, we will come home in a very depressed state and the blog may be difficult for a short time until we pick each other back up and continue to steam roll over Obama.

It is very gracious of you Murphy to thank everyone. I don’t feel I need thanks. When it became clear that Hillary would not be the nominee, I was angry, upset, disillusioned, and sad. I had no one and no place to turn to. I found friends and a place here. It is thanks to you that I didn’t have to sit and fume silently. I could share, learn, and take Prowl actions…and even did some on my own and surprised myself.

Thank you Murphy…and everyone who has made this a home, a learning center, and a guide for actions…and a place to vent!!!!!!!!

I have absolutely nothing to offer for a sign, but, if someone – ANYONE – sees Nancy Pelosi, could you please walk up to her, give her a great big ole wet one and tell her, “bless your little bitty heart”?

Poor thing. She’s had such a rough go of it. I know she’ll need to “feel the love”!

Y’all be safe!

jenniforhillary 08.20.08 at 11:14 pm

Murphy, if you are here just wanted to thank YOU and the tight fighting machine known as PUMA for giving me true hope for real change this year by the election of a FEMALE President who could change the world for the better….
or, at the very least, a new political party that the USA is sorely needing based on the early but deserved death of the former DNC now know as the ONC.

I have never met you or spoken to you but I feel as though you are my good friend. I am crying but the tears are a mix of joy and sorrow. So much is going on, and I pray for victory, safety, and justice.

Bring your hearts, use your brains, sing like birds, pray for us all….

Those of us in your wake will be with you, so you walk with millions!

TEXAS PUMAS will host the PUMA HILLARY VICTORY PARTY…..

If Obama had any true confidence and courage, he wouldn’t have had to resort to subterfuge like he has. He basically presents a facade, behind which lies a very insecure, codependent personality. He HAS to pick a VP who is stronger than he is to maintain the facade when he falters himself.
That’s basically the difference between his personality and McCain’s. Also a man’s wife says a lot about the man himself. Cindy complements McCain and together they present a picture of unity. Whereas Obama act afraid of MO (who could really blame him?), which is why he always acts as if he has to constantly ‘prove’ himself worthy.
Tonight, Obama said he would be in charge of Foreign Policy, not his VP or any other member of the Executive Branch. Now there’s a scary thought. He can’t even make a definitive statement concerning abortion or when life begins.
God help us if he is elected!!!!

I called 50 super delegates uncommitted of course and I called the DNC AGAIN to tell them that I wanted to let them know that I am starting a Democrats for McCain organization if Hillary is not the nominee and BO kicked to the curb and I wanted to know if any of them wanted to join. there was dead silence–I laughed all day :)

Hillary please don’t give up. I work with women who should give up (beaten down, beaten up, no resources) and they look up to you. Do what a strong, 100 MILLION DOLLAR RICH, mega powerful SMART woman who wants to be president would do….TAKE IT ALL THE WAY AND WIN IT!!!

jenniforhillary 08.20.08 at 11:32 pm

Unfortunately, in Houston TExas the gay lesbian bi transgender group voted to support BO. One of the head guys privately told me he could NOT support BO but he had to tell others to vote BO–I said NO FLLLLLKING WAY. My team for Hillary stood near them for 2 weeks during early voting and during the primary….I called him out so bad he had to go home and cry. I was mad as hell because it was so anti-woman and because the Clintons are BIG supporters of gay/lesbian/bi/transgender issues.

They are holding this festive fancy shindig thing to CELEBRATE the messiah’s coronation in a fancy hotel near my home, so I thought that we should hold our own little thing for hillary….

small, but that is all I can muster since I can’t go to Denver….

but if she wins can you imagine it….you will hear us yelling from all 4 corners of the universe!!!

GO HILLARY WE LOVE YA!! GO PUMAS!!!

Have courage, be brave, do not let anyone try to intimidate you because you believe in Hillary. Best of all revel in the joy of meeting like minded Pumas and have fun.

We will be with you in mind and spirit !!

Go get em!

I do know, “The mills of God grind slow. exceeding slow” or as you more metaphysical peeps say, “Karma is a bitch”. And then to BO and his minions, “May you live in interesting times!”

Thank you in advance,

#318 snowtiger,

Answer,

Dear B. Obama,

Of course, we will be happy to help you and your wife get to Denver. Unfortunately the only mode of transportation we have left is by bicycle. If you and your wife embark on your journey tomorrow, you will arrive just in time to watch Senator Hillary Clinton accept the Democratic Nomination at Invesco Stadium in front of millions of adoring Pumas.

We look forward to serving you,

Pumapac

PS, could we text message Hillary’s choice of VP to you? If so, find instructions at hillaryclinton.com.

I haven’t received any names or prowl letters to email lately but know you all are busy heading for Denver.

Good Luck you all, stay safe and thank you all for what you are doing and that means those staying at home as well as those going.

We have made a difference, no question about it. Whether or not the Super Delegates realize Obama is un electable or not it remains to be seen if they have the guts t do the right thing.

I think there is something brewing that none of us know about but can’t reveal my thoughts just in case I am right as could ruin things but stay optimistic as most of you are doing. I think there are some surprises on the horizon.

545 PEOPLE

By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and
then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans
are against deficits, we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation
and high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don’t propose a federal budget. The president does.

You and I don’t have the Constitutional authority to vote on
appropriations. The House of Representatives does.

You and I don’t write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don’t set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don’t control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme
Court justices 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly,
legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems
that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem
was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its
Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally
chartered, but private, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason.
They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a
senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing.
I don’t care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash.
The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what
the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator’s responsibility to
determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that
what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con
regardless of party.

What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive
amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a
Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating
deficits. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force
the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole
responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and
approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House?
She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members,
not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president
vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not
replace 545 people who stand convicted — by present facts — of
incompetence and irresponsibility. I can’t think of a single domestic
problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you
fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the
federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they
want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it’s because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it’s because they want it in the red.

If the Marines are in IRAQ , it’s because they want them in IRAQ .

If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement
plan not available to the people, it’s because they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureauc rats, whom they
hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and
advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to
regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let
them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical
forces like “the economy,” “inflation,” or “politics” that prevent them
from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.

They, and they alone, have the power.

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are
their bosses provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own
employees.

We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

Charlie Reese is a former columnist of the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper.
What you do with this article now that you have read it is up to you,
though you appear to have several choices.

1. You can send this to everyone in your address book, and hope they
do something about it.

2. You can agree to vote against everyone that is currently in
office, knowing that the process will take several years.

3. You can decide to run for office yourself and agree to do the job
properly.

4. Lastly, you can sit back and do nothing, or re-elect the current
bunch.

YOU DECIDE, BUT AT LEAST SEND IT ON.

I haven’t received any names or prowl letters to email lately but know you all are busy heading for Denver.
————————————

Don’t give up working on a prowl of your own. Most of us are writing to delegates and superdelegates to give them courage to step up and vote for Hillary on the first ballot.
I made up a letter and am coving all of Hillary’s supers, feel free to jump in and write or call someone. Thanks.

Oh Yuck, Rachel Maddow is getting her own show:
http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2008/08/20/11101/

“With the promotion — “The Rachel Maddow Show” begins Sept. 8 — the 35-year-old commentator breaks into what has sometimes been derided as a boys club at the network, led by Olbermann and Chris Matthews. Hillary Clinton’s campaign frequently ripped MSNBC for what it called sexist coverage during the Democratic primaries.”

Google Angelfoodministries. it is an organization that is nationwide that you can buy groceries at a fraction of the costs. Anybody can do it. There is no income requirement. It really helps with the high costs of groceries and it is good food.

Just as precious is waiting for the right moment to cash in on his VP choice, he hope for a bump in the polls so he will break even. Unless he picks Hillary, he will not see a bump except from the family of that man.

I wish he would ask her and she tells him she will get back to him after the convention, knowing that her delegates will smash him at the convention.

things w/me are good. Did you overhear (speaking of the recession, which is I guess what we are having) Bill Maher on Larry King yesterday saying how he liked the recession because the traffic was lighter and restaurants emptier? Gosh that struck me as quite selfish & insensitive…Larry King laughing right along w/him…bet they get mail!!

#44 roxy4hill2 – Several times tonight FOX has repeated the story about a get together with some top McCain supporters either today or yesterday, and Hillary’s brother attended. No reason given. FOX is as surprised as everyone else.

At the same time FOX also reported that Bill Clinton was saying really nice things about McCain this wk – something about how McCain was the top Republican when it came to the environment, etc.
*************************************

I know this sounds a bit crazy, but it went through my mind that there could be a potential McCain/Clinton ticket. Heard rumors that McCain might pick a Democratic running mate. Pretty far fetched, I’m sure.
Just throwing it out there for fun.

#359, Thanks Texas. we have angelfoods here and senior gleaners as well. A lot of my customers go there as well as my store.I run a discount grocery store, product recovery actually. I buy food that is close date or has damaged packaging and sell it cheap to the lower economic strata, if you will.
Cereal 1.00 canned vegetables 2/1.00. Flat of eggs 3.00.Profit isnt great but I get by.
I see the working poor everyday, the fixed income populace.
I know most poor people would gladly buy their own insurance and necessities if they had a wage that could support them and their families.
Problem is right now, the cost of living is destroying these people.
We need Hillary.

I agree. I used to have a good business and health insurance but all that went under after 9/11. I
am surviving from ebay sales and flea market right now and even that is slow. Angelfoodministries has really helped us. We haven’t had to go to the food bank yet anyway thanks to them. I wish we had a store like yours close to us. I would try to start a business like that here but don’t know where to find that kind of stuff.

hillstheone 08.21.08 at 1:16 am

snowtiger,
good point about Maher. Another interesting factoid on him was the way he answered King’s question about if he would ever get married. He gave like 4 or 5 different answers in the span of about 90 seconds. Maybe he’s an indecisive guy & that is why Obama has captured his heart, LOL…

Anyway I was rather taken aback at the insensitivity of those 2 guys discussing their comfort level with better restaurant service when a lot of American families are really hurting right now.

Also, it made me recall a conversation I overheard at a concert this summer. I was in a line waiting to buy food from a vendor, the woman behind me was confiding in her friend, “a lot of my friends are having financial problems, I have to be really careful about telling people I’m going to a concert,” this & that. She clearly was a kind & considerate friend, not wanting to cause her friends to feel badly.

As opposed to Mayer & King, laughing it up. Wow.

Probably most of us on this site are feeling the financial squeeze, some of us hanging out on a limb to go to Denver, others can’t swing it no matter what, some of us seeing our neighbors lose their homes.

Our next-door neighbor moved recently & we fed their dog ALL the time when they went on vacation. So we didn’t understand why they didn’t say goodbye until they told us later, “I lost my job & couldn’t make the mortgage!” Really sad…

Oh you have to check with your health dept. to find out what kind of permits you need.
If you need any help or advice just write me at snowtiger007pp@yahoo.com. I’d be glad to help.
Its a good business with great potential and really helps poor people.

Evening PUMAs. I won’t be on long as I am dog tired. I’ve heard some wonderful, and devestating news today. First of all I’ve been told that McCain is beating Obama in the polls as of today by a “wide margin” (And sorry if this has already been touched on by someone previously). Second, the sad news. Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones of Ohio has passed away. Can we have a PUMA moment of silence for her? She was a big supporter of Senator Clinton during the primaries.

With the audio…I think it’s over. You know, alot of AA’s are conservative on abortion. I’ve got decent political sense. I just don’t know how he “refines” his way out of this.

Hi again, bad PUMA, was hungry and needed a little snack to go to sleep. Over on the pretenders blog snooping and thought you might enjoy seeing this blog item:

—-

By Connie Obama Today at 12:28 am EDT (Updated Today at 12:28 am EDT)
********************Attention* *******************

This is as good a place as any to post about the BP. I am asking all us to please keep in mind that the MSM is sitting on this blog more than some of us.

Given the negative, complaining, second guessing and ripping of our candidate in the last couple of weeks, can we try to be positve when the VP is announced? Please, let’s not give BO’s enemies ammunition to use as against him! The MSM would love nothing better than to report “BO’s supporters are andgry about his VP choice, could this mean his supporters are deserting him”?

No matter who BP picks someone is bound to be disappointed. Even if you are upset, please try to work it out/come to grips with it before you post on the blog. Nothing you post is going to make him reverse himself as I’m sure BO has not made this choice without considering everything.

We know he’s fighting on all fronts: his own party, the repubs, the media, polls, JM and yes, even some of his own supporters! Let;s not pile on. Ignore the slanted polls and biased media.

Let’s keep working and donating like BO is doen 20 points, as Michelle O. has always said!

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

BillieJo 08.21.08 at 2:10 am

I think everyone is gone so I will post the ‘interesting posts on the pretenders site, if anyone cares to know what they are thinking—-

By Lynn/Kingwood TX for Obama Today at 12:28 am EDT (Updated Today at 12:28 am EDT)
I disagree, McCain’s experience does not out gun Barack. McCain has been in the Senate for 26 years and he does not know anything about the ECONOMY. He didn’t ever bother to educate himself on it and that means he is either lazy or do not care about Middle Class issues.

He may have a slight leg up on Foreign Policy but Barack has better judgment. Over the course of this campaign…Barack has been right on all Foreign Policy issues and McCain has been dead wrong. McCains age is also causing a lot of gaffees.

I think that McCain has only a slight advantage over Barack and the only reason for that is because he has been in the Senate for so long.

Barack is to smart for his own good and the Saddleback forum proved that but Americans are so dumbed down they fell into the McCain trap.

I don’t care who Barack picks I support him 100%

Interesting reading
As I batten down the hatches here in Florida, awaiting Tropical Storm Fay, I just wanted to impart a few thoughts. If I’m without electricity for the next few days, maybe some of you bloggers can take this… and run with it…

***********************
“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Schlemeel, schlemazel, hasenfeffer incorporated.”

Beep, beep. Back up the “beer” truck. I’m not talking about Shirley Feeney, the innocent, working-class heroine on the TV show, “Laverne and Shirley.” I don’t even know who Cindy Williams is supporting in this election. I’m talking about the late Shirley Chisholm (November 30, 1924 – January 1, 2005).

If you’re in your mid forties, like I am, you probably recall Shirley’s name but don’t know much about her. I first learned about Shirley when I was a kid, while watching an episode of “All in the Family.” I recall Archie’s daughter, Gloria, campaigning for Shirley. I then went on to learn more about this great woman.

Shirley was a politician, an educator, an author, and a congresswoman from New York from 1969 – 1983. Shirley Chisholm was the first major party African-American candidate for President. According to the DNC records, Shirley received 152 first-ballot votes at the 1972 Democratic National Convention. She won only 28 delegates during the primaries. But here’s the kicker… During a “hotly contested primary” between McGovern and Humphrey, Humphrey knew that McGovern would win, so as a symbolic gesture, Humphrey released his African American delegates to Chisholm, giving her the total of 152 first ballot votes.

What I really love about this amazing woman is what she did during the primary. Apparently, Shirley Chisholm created quite the controversy when she visited George Wallace in the hospital soon after his shooting in May 1972, smack dab in the middle of the presidential campaign.

Wallace was touched. So much so, that several years later, Chisholm worked on a bill to give domestic workers the right to a minimum wage. Guess who helped her gain enough votes to get the legislation though the house by influencing southern congressmen? Yup. George Wallace.

No doubt… no doubt Chisholm’s candidacy was historic. With so many parallels between Shirley Chisholm’s run and this year (the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I’ve got a Dream” speech, and the anniversary of women getting the right to vote, you would think the MSM would spend it’s time talking about how Hillary’s name being placed in nomination is not an anomaly. That’s the real story. Instead, the MSN must spend it’s time promoting Obama propaganda, such as McCain cheated at Saddleback.

All I can say is, shame on you, Andrea Mitchell!

There’s so much that’s gone on during this election that is worthy of reporting: possible voter fraud; Pelosi buying Obama endorsements; Obama buying Obama endorsements; Ayers; Wright; Rezko; Obama’s team pulling the race card; what goes on at a “camp Obama,” the fact that Florida and Michigan were unfairly sanctioned; Obama blocking legal revote actions in Florida and Michigan; and the fact that Hillary Clinton really won the popular vote.

While most of the MSN is truly “in the tank” for Obama, we all know that there are two cable networks that have been the biggest offenders: CNN and MSNBC. I laughed when I saw the new CNN ads on television. “No agenda,” they claim. It’s sad when a once respectable news outlet has to defend itself in commercials. Now, it’s MSNBC’s turn.

I’m actually happy that the McCain campaign has gone after them. After McCain’s impressive performance this weekend, he has every right to claim his victory without the MSM or Obama diminishing it. I remember when I won the 600 yard dash in the 6th grade. Even my gym teacher couldn’t believe it. One of the cool, star athletic young women in the school was crushed that I, a nervous and nerdy studious girl, actually beat her. My teacher didn’t help matters when she told me publicly that I wasn’t allowed to be happy for my win because the other girl felt bad about her loss. No, my teacher’s last name wasn’t Axlerod.

MSNBC is like my 6th grade teacher. As much as I learned from that woman, I still recall how unfair her comments often could be… like the day she publicly singled me out as the first girl in the class to grow boobs. (Hey, times were different then… I got over the comments, but I still have the boobs!) MSNBC purposely underplayed Hillary Clinton’s victories. Hillary was me in the sixth grade. She had the substance, but maybe not the style. Maybe she didn’t get invited to the “popular girl’s” (Pelosi’s) party, but we knew in the end that Hillary had what it took to get the job done. She won the race, but she wasn’t allowed to celebrate. After all, the other person was supposed to win! How dare she, or her supporters, even think of claming victory?

Okay, enough of my pre-pubescent psychological dramas. I’ll get to my point — MSNBC seems to be making a concerted effort to be the anti-FOX. They seem to want to pander to all that is the left, even if it means telling half-truths or blatant lies.

What can we do about it? If you read this post and you agree that MSNBC is biased toward Obama, and if you agree that Andrea Mitchell was out of line, I’d like you to write to MSNBC this week and ask them one simple question: “Why isn’t Andrea Mitchell… a proud woman and journalist, spending her time reporting the facts about this election? Why is she pandering to the Obama campaign?

It goes deeper than this. PUMA’s are being portrayed in the MSM as “fringe.” We’re hormonal housewives who cannot get over the fact that our candidate lost. No matter that we are 40% male, not all initial Clinton supporters, and we’re simply refusing to vote for a candidate who we do not believe is qualified. PUMA’s care about party and country, but if you ask Nancy Pelosi, we need our heads examined! Obama doesn’t need our votes anyway. Since he’s “sent from above,” I assume he’ll be able to part Lake Okeechobee and somehow turn Florida blue again.

My mom found out later that my six grade teacher wanted to “play down my talents” in front of the other kids since I was reading at the 12th grade level, and she didn’t know what to do with me. Twisted logic? Sure. It was the 70’s. But, what’s MSNBC’s logic for skewing facts that could indeed change the course of American history? I hardly doubt it’s as altruistic as a sixth grade teacher being dumbfounded as to what to do with a gifted student and wanting to save the other kids’ egos.

Isn’t that what the MSN is doing? Playing everything down? Hillary Clinton having her name placed in nomination shouldn’t have even been a question. The only reason is a question, is that Barack Obama cannot seal the deal.

Something is rotten at Rockefeller Center. I hope John McCain’s team can get to the bottom of it and maybe we can, too. Will you blog and write emails for me while my electricity is out for the next two days? Better yet, write to your cable company and tell them that they should no longer carry MSNBC. We’ve tried boycotting sponsors. Maybe this will work.

If you won’t do it for me… think about what Shirley would have wanted… Even though Barack Obama’s candidacy his historic in the terms of that he’s winning the nomination, knowing what kind of person Shirley Chisholm was, do you really think she’d want Hillary (or us) to be treated like this by a cable news network?

Wow! Rev Manning doesn’t want Hillary to take VP – she’ll go down with him. He also talks about the media.

As far as the news go – I don’t go there anymore. I had to go to ABC for the Olympics, but that is it!! I started boycotting them when I realized what they were doing. My intelligence was insulted!!

What a tremendous loss we all suffered today. Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones. She was a great leader and a loyal Clinton supporter. I have made a short video to her memory at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oz00okxjtjE

The beginning of this video is going to stir the pot. If you watched Hannity’s interview last night with Jerome Corsi near the end of that segment Hannity mentions an audio of Obama that they were looking into, I think it’s at the beginning of this video. I can see a bunch of ads based on what he says in this video.

Pumagranny 08.21.08 at 10:33 am

Hello TO ALL of you! MA. pumagranny here!! It has taken me forever to blog~~ but I finally made it. Yippee! I’ve had some physical hang ups, so I have not been typing much, just reading everything I can on our Puma site and what is happening, the blog is great.
I am so disappointed I cannot go to Denver but I will say a prayer and light my candle that you all have a pleasant journey and arrive safely. Everyone has worked so hard for months. Stay strong and kick some azz if those nasty Obama Mites bite, hehe

.
Darragh has worked diligently, and with all the other support groups, it is amazing how much time and effort went into making this happen, Hillary will be so happy when she sees the turnout from her supporters.

If O chooses her for VP I hope she refuses, she has always been number one, I would be disappointed if she accepts, he may have a sure win if she lets her delegates go. O needs her more now than ever cause he is going down the tubes, Maybe people are finally seeing the real Obama for what he is. He can’t even be an honest salesman with all the BS he sells. hehe
Good luck and God Bless you all, Denver here we come!
Darragh, if u read this, I sent something at the Carlisle address, my late donation for Denver, sorry!

TRISH

Is there a way to email or send the picture that was on the overnight thread of the bus and PUMAs on way to Denver?

THought perhaps we could send it with a message to those on our lists.

I am not savvy on transmission of things, but see it being used somehow. Picture is worth a 1000 words.

valleywitch 08.21.08 at 6:10 pm

:arrow: HillaryI did contribute, but I had to use the $$ I was going to give here. I only wish I could do more. I will still donate here but I cannot till payday. I am lighting the white candle this evening, and praying she doesn’t release her delegates. Please, all take care, I am working on letters to send to my governor and media, and will fax hillary a thank you note. Wish I could be there. bbl.
blessings,

COME FOR A VISIT, PUMA’s.

While we’re doing our final pre-convention prowls, and waiting for so many of our folks to arrive in Denver … you are invited to come visit the Suffragists.
http://www.unbrokencircles.com.

I just put the site up a couple days ago to highlight the journey of the Suffragists [which we celebrate on Tues. --88th anniversay of Suffrage.] I compare Suffragists and PUMAs. The tactics they used are similar to what we PUMA’s are doing — challenging the Democrats during a Presidential campaign. They got really criticized for doing that, but, in the end, it did help get suffrage! They fought to get women the vote. We’re fighting to get everyone’s votes counted.
