Where’s Howard?

UPDATE: HOWARD AND NANCY ARE STAYING AT THE GRAND HYATT HOTEL IN DENVER. CALL 303-295-1234. FAX 303-292-2470. LOEW’S DENVER Howard Dean at the Loews Denver Hotel 303-782-9300 FAX: 303-758-6542. HERE’S THE MESSAGE: NO SECRET BALLOTS! A ROLL CALL VOTE ON THE CONVENTION FLOOR. NO MORE INTIMIDATION OF DELEGATES! DNC RULES, ARTICLE 8, SECTION F1: “NO SECRET BALLOT SHALL BE PERMITTED AT ANY STAGE OF THE CONVENTION OR ITS COMMITTEE PROCEEDINGS.” SECTION 8F3: “VOTING SHALL BE BY VOICE VOTE, OR WHEN PRESCRIBED BY THESE RULES, BY ROLL CALL VOTE.”

I know it’s late, but it’s only 7:30am here. Sheri, MP and mama are cooking breakfast.

The premiere party last night was a huge success. CNN, ABC, NPR, the AP, and reporters from Germany, Italy, Japan, and France were here. The food was deelish and Pumas from all across the USA were rapt as they watched the new 40 minute clip from The Audacity of Democracy. After the screening we did a Q & A and Pumas are ready for ACTION. We are planning some late-developing ACTIONS here in Denver to protest the last ditch efforts of the DONC to silence the Hillary Delegation and erase her presence in the Democratic Party.

The 300 Delegate contingent are on the verge of devastation. After all their work, all their dedication the Big Shots are STILL planning a work-around. Now they’re talking about a closed door written vote on Wednesday morning with no established Chain of Possession. No roll call vote is the threat.

There is no avenue to submit the petition. The delegates were hoping to present the petition tomorrow to be read on the floor. Now it looks like they won’t get the chance to even do that.

If any Puma out there knows where Howard Dean is staying in Denver, please let me know?

Until then, please call The Sheraton Hotel and ask for Howard Dean.

1-303-757-3341.

After that, call the Ritz. 1-303-312-3800.

We’ll find him — one way or the other.

Tell whoever answers the phone — ROLL CALL VOTE IN PUBLIC, ON THE FLOOR. STOP TRYING TO SILENCE HILLARY’S DELEGATES.

Sheri’s doing her radio show this morning — 11:00am mountain time. We’ll keep you posted.

“…Personally, I am going to do a prowl to all newspapers regarding the Dems giving Fl/MI full voting rights. We all know what a sham that is, I’m also going to state what is going on with the delegates being threatened, etc. Remember the link I posted a couple of months ago and has been reposted elsewhere in the blogs. You can publish a letter to all newspapers in the US and all over the world. http://www.publishaletter.com/
Go Pumas!

Will someone keep posting the link to the website so those that come on later can see it. And put it up on a new thread when and if it becomes available. Thx”

“The Obama campaign is doing their best to paper over the deep divisions in their party among the many Hillary Clinton supporters who do not want Barack Obama to be president,” said McCain senior adviser Matt McDonald. “We want these voters to know that they still have the choice to vote for a president who is ready in this election and John McCain would welcome their support.

If the choice is between the Straight Talk Express or UNDER the Obamabus, voting for McCain gets easier by the minute.

#10 bobram on 08.25.08 at 10:46 am

BREAKING NEWS BREAKING NEWS – CBS -

MO has agreed with BO on his pick for VP – and has given him her approval – honestly it was just said that way on the news

Harry Smith – just was interviewing Ed Rendell – Gov of Pa and unfortunately he drank the kool aid yet again -
he is luke warm praising BO – and spoke more about Hillary and how she will unify the party with her prime time speech – (have to say this was the best interview I have seen throwing out roadblocks by the moderator than ever before) when he was asked if the Clintons are doing this just as show and do not support BO – Rendell came back and said that HILLARY was completely backing BO and will do a lot of campaigning for him even in his state of Pa – but stopped there – would not comment on Bill – GO BILL GO

#11 Elaine on 08.25.08 at 10:47 am

Murphy, Any chance you can get some of those delegates to do a press conference with the media? maybe as part of your rally this evening; invite a group of them to speak publicly about being harassed even after that petition. `

#12 texaspony on 08.25.08 at 10:48 am

I just called both numbers, front desk clerk said there’s no Howard Dean in their guest lists. I ask them again to check record of guest lists in their computer.

#20 NObamaDem on 08.25.08 at 10:51 am

Bwaaahaaaa! The bobots are getting hysterical. It must be really starting to dawn on them that we are NOT going to fall in line for their boy and that maybe, oh maybe they need us for him to actually win. But there strategy for trying to ‘win us over’ never changes.

I’ve been gathering some really hysterical emails that are being sent me through my contact over at my blog over the past several days. They’re using that old “cut your nose off to spite your face” talking point about McCain, whom I’ve never stated emphatically that I was voting for, and still using the ‘racist’ taunt.

Here’s a taste of one of the most recent:

“This clearly shows how racist and anti-American people such as yourselves are. If it works for you its okay, but if it is new and innovative and heaven forbid Black, find away to suppress it.”

They just DO NOT get it. This is NOT about Hillary or Obama or McCain, and it’s certainly got nothing to do with race – but apparently it does to these dimwits.

And they are supposed to be the so-called ‘educated’ ones. Pfft.

Keep growling Pumas! NO to Obama and his minions of evil, not now, not ever!

#21 Rabblerouser on 08.25.08 at 10:52 am

#24 Susie1945 on 08.25.08 at 10:52 am

Ya know, everytime ‘they’ say how nice it is of precious to ‘allow’ the Clinton roll call, etc. it just pushes my button – he’s in no position to allow anything and hasn’t been – wait til November – if they think I’m comin’ back – they are sadly mistaken …………………………

BTW – jane-pa – eau claire is a city in Wisconsin where precious was speaking yesterday and it said it (Eau Claire) was a great state – so are we now 59 states????????????? – the idiot can’t speak without a teleprompter – gonna be kinda hard to install one in the White House – which really doesn’t matter cuz he aint gonna be there – noway nobama november

#30 vadaryl on 08.25.08 at 10:54 am

I have been on this for days, I saw the writing on the wall that we waited to long. Just find Hillary and present it to her so at least she knows that an effort was made. Show it to the press, get pictures of it, blank out the names if you have too. Don’t totally throw the thing out. It speaks for the original 18 million people who voted for her and the 29% (5 million) who are still standing behind her.

That this party is doing what it is doing!!! Look at the primary and they way this thing has been going from the beginning! Hillary asked to drop out b4 the votes were counted. Caucuses manipulated! Why would anyone think things would change…

THIS IS A CORONATION AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DEMOCRACY…. IT’S A JOKE THAT THE COMMENTATORS ON TV THINK THIS IS HOW A CONVENTION IS RUN!!!

THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS IN THE TANK AND I BELIEVE HAS BEEN BOUGHT OFF BY THE CAMPAIGNS… MORE AD REVENUE FOR THEM!!!

Okay…hunt down Dean like a rabid dog…I know that’s mean, sorry. And let every news media again know that the democratic coup continues.

To Lou Dobbs and remainder of media: (Lou loves sarcasm and dislikes Obama):

Subject: Don’t blame Senator Clinton

Who shall unite and heal the wounds of the Democratic party? Certainly not Senator Clinton. She has not been traveling the country side far and wide professing to be the great Healer and Uniter – those are Senator Obama’s gifts, or so he has bragged for the past two years. Why haven’t we seen Obama heal and unite this party? He’s had since June when Senator Clinton suspended her campaign. Could it be that these special skills only activate once Obama enters the White House Doors?

O come on Obama, go for it. Show your magic: heal and unite this party. I’ve always wanted to see a traveling medicine show. I AM W A I T I N G!!

#45 Henerietta on 08.25.08 at 11:01 am

I just saw Rowland Martin on CNN. They are starting to report on the ‘discord’ within the party. He sounded almost defeated. He said that we have ‘lost sight of the big picture’ and are reducing the convention to bickering in spite of all the efforts to create unity.” As Soledad Obrien continued the discussion he even said that Democrats (I assume he means us) are stupid. That we would nit pick and continue the primary fight to the detriment of us all.

Bill Snider was not nearly as pro-Obama. He says the protesters ‘have connected’ in Denver! He also commented on Bill Clinton not being willing to give the speech he was ‘assigned’ to give!

Let us keep the faith for a little longer.

#46 texaspony on 08.25.08 at 11:01 am

Hey PUMAS –

sm77, who regularly blogs on riverdaughter’s site The Confluence, came up with slogan – Party Unity My Ass and she has now come up with another:

’sm77, on August 25th, 2008 at 10:47 am Said:
When Democracy comes back to the Democratic Party, so will we.’

Don’t you all agree that this should be the new slogan for the PUMA group? She is brilliant

#49 Elaine on 08.25.08 at 11:01 am

Suffrage Anniversary

There are 2 reasons why it is important to know about the Suffrage history:

1. We got the vote 88 years ago; Aug. 26, 1920, but we still don’t have full suffrage when our votes don’t get counted.

2. The Suffragists had to use almost exactly the tactic PUMAs are using with the Democratic Party. the Dems make it sound like we are such traitors … but will praise the Suffragists! They, too, refused to support Dem. candidates in 1914 and 1916 and were told they were traitors who would bring on war. We are only following the example of Great Grandma!

I agree. Get her that darned petition, if she does not already have it. Unity, shmunity – this is just an incredibly stupid move by the DNC and Party leadership. I’m getting the impression that these people just simply want to lose this election, period. What in the world are they thinking, that THIS is going to go over any better then their May 31st stealing of delegates event in DC went over?

Sorry guys, I’m just shaking my head right now at the sheer audacity and nitwitism (I know it’s an ‘ism’) of these so-called Party leaders.

Where the heck is Howard, the “Chairman” of the Party? Cowering in a broom closet somewhere? And get that petition to Sen Clinton now please.

#54 vadaryl on 08.25.08 at 11:05 am

I got an idea, give the petition to Bill Clinton and let’s see what he does with it. Give them the 300 pins with the pen thru it to ware during their speeches. Please don’t let this effort go down the drain. People worked so hard on it. I have been on this for days.

I love that motto “When democracy comes back to the Democratic party, so will we.” would love to see a sub-phrase like: “just like our great-grandmas, the Suffragists did.”

They, too , left the Dem. Party because the Dems wouldn’t support suffrage. Suffragists were told they were ruining the party. But they saved it.

What we’re doing is not new or original. We are doing what great grandma had to do in her day: leave the Democratic Party.

I just sent this short note to the MSM contacts -

Delegates at the convention are being told to register their votes BEFORE the actual vote . These votes are to be on paper with no viable secure chain of ensuring they are not tampered with . This is the SAME tactic Obama’s people used in the Texas caucuses to STEAL delegates from Sen. Clinton . This is NOT what the press is reporting . The roll call will not be legitimate, and there subversive tactics will serve to negated the Democratic process ONCE again in the Democratic Party ! Please report on these new developments with the roll call and voting by the delegates .

Sincerely , XXXXXX

#66 zach on 08.25.08 at 11:09 am

I’m not sure how harassing hotel staff across the Denver area is going to help things. They are contractually obligated to not disclose private guest information. They are not (as far as we know or have any right to know) affiliated with the DNC. We should be calling the DNC offices and headquarters to demand audience from Dean, not a front desk that is already probably busy and weary from the convention.

I agree that you have to “ruffle some feathers” to get things done, but shouldn’t we ruffle the feathers of those who have allied themselves with the enemy, and not completely unrelated hotel staff? Staff that would lose their jobs if they gave us the information we demand?

Please don’t delete this, since I think we could really be making PUMA look bad with this, and maybe we should reconsider.

Howard Dean was interviewed on C-Span yesterday. He was asked if Obama has a place in the Whitehouse after he is elected. Dean said he was only thinking about getting BO & Biden elected. [I got the impression a deal was made.] A caller asked why Dean didn’t do anything when Hillary was accused of racism & sexism. Lame answer.

Thanks, NObamaDem: okay. Back to being professional on this one…(I love sarcasm) Just sent this one to the news media, and now it’s off to track down Howard Dog, I mean Dean. ooops. Having to stay home from Denver is killing me. Sorry PUMA’s. I can be a bad, bad, bad, bad, PUMA. But…please love me with my faults because I have many…

To All News Media:

The democratic party and Senator Obama’s campaign are currently attempting to suppress the votes of Senator Clinton’s delegates, the way voices of Senator Clinton’s voters in Michigan and Florida were silenced. This can not continue.

We the voters who support and will continue to support Senator Clinton, demand that Howard Dean take full leadership at this crucial time. Please announce our demands directly to Howard Dean via your news show:

ROLL CALL VOTE IN PUBLIC, ON THE FLOOR.

STOP TRYING TO SILENCE HILLARY’S DELEGATES.

Thank you for your assistance.

I think we could really be making PUMA look bad with this, and maybe we should reconsider.

Perhaps he is right? We should be calling someone else, and not Hotel staff? I don’t want us to look bad.

I sent an email earlier regarding the secret vote to fox news – but haven’t heard anything yet………..that part of the show is over – so ………………….keep sending them I guess

Like I have stated over and over and over again – Dean , Pelosi, Brazile & the rest don’t care if the Dems lose the election in November – don’t care – part of plan cooked up with Brazile & Rove – continuation of the Bush plan but McCain is a kinda maverick and also, the really didn’t realize that women were going to balk at their planned coronation – hope the whole thing blows up in their ugly faces……………………..

If XO was so sure he had WON the nomination and DESERVES to be the nominee- why would he be going to such subversive lengths to ensure the vote comes out in his favor ? If you are truely pro democracy then let it be taken to the floor for a REAL vote !!!

#93 GBPuma on 08.25.08 at 11:19 am

First I’d like to say SORRY for such a long entry but I thought it important for everyone to know some of the important procedures.

Excerpts taken directly from the Call for 2008 Convention:
for the complete Order of business and proceedures of the convention go to Call to Convetion
http://www.democrats.org/page/-/pdf/FINAL2008CalltotheConvention.pdf

VI. PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES
The term “presidential candidate” herein shall mean any person who, as determined by the National
Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee, has accrued delegates in the nominating process and
plans to seek the nomination, has established substantial support for his or her nomination as the
Democratic candidate for the Office of the President of the United States, is a bona fide Democrat whose
record of public service, accomplishment, public writings and/or public statements affirmatively
demonstrates that he or she is faithful to the interests, welfare and success of the Democratic Party of the
United States, and will participate in the Convention in good faith.
(Well in my opinion Obama doesn’t fit any of these qualification criteria)

VIII. PROCEDURAL RULES OF THE 2008 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION

6. Nomination of the Democratic Candidate for President: The Permanent Chair shall
receive nominations from the floor for the Democratic candidate for the Office of
President of the United States in the following manner:
a. Requests to nominate a presidential candidate shall be in writing and shall have
affixed thereto the written approval of the proposed nominee and the name of the
individuals who shall be recognized to make the nominating and seconding
speeches on behalf of a presidential candidate and shall be delivered to the
Convention Secretary at a location as specified by the Secretary no later than
6:00 p.m. of the day preceding the day designated for the commencement of
presidential nominations.
b. Each such request must be accompanied by a petition indicating support for the
proposed nominee signed by delegates representing not less than 300 or more
than 600 delegate votes, not more than 50 of which may come from one (1)
delegation. A delegate may not sign more than one (1) nominating petition for
president and for vice president.
c. The order for nominating presidential candidates shall be determined by the
National Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee, the Permanent
Chair of the Convention and each presidential candidate, or his or her authorized
representative, who qualifies to be nominated pursuant to this section.
d. Each presidential candidate shall be allowed a total of twenty (20) minutes for
the presentation of his or her name in nomination by nominating and seconding
speeches, the time to run without interruption from the recognition of the
nominator.
e. Delegates and alternates shall maintain order during and following nominations
for the Office of President and demonstrations shall not be permitted.
7. Roll Call for Presidential Candidate:
a. After nominations for presidential candidates have closed, the Convention shall
proceed to a roll call vote by states on the selection of the presidential candidate.
The roll call voting shall follow the alphabetical order of the states with the
District of Columbia and Puerto Rico and the territories treated as states for the
purpose of the alphabetical roll call.
b. A majority vote of the Convention’s delegates shall be required to nominate the
presidential candidate.
c. Delegates may vote for the candidate of their choice whether or not the name of
such candidate was placed in nomination. Any vote cast other than a vote for a
presidential candidate meeting the requirements of Article VI of this Call and
Rule 12.K. of the 2008 Delegate Selection Rules shall be considered a vote for
“Present.”
d. Balloting will continue until a nominee is selected. The nominee shall become
the candidate of the Democratic Party of the United States for the Office of
President upon the conclusion of his or her acceptance speech.
8. Acceptance Speech by Presidential Candidate: Immediately after the selection of the
Democratic nominee for President, the Permanent Chair shall invite the nominee to
deliver an acceptance speech to the Convention.

F. Voting:
1. Secret Ballot: No secret ballots shall be permitted at any stage of the Convention or its
committee proceedings.

2. Proxy Voting: Neither delegate nor alternate delegate votes may be cast by proxy.
3. Roll Call Votes:
a. Voting shall be by voice vote or, when prescribed by these rules, by roll call vote.
The roll call voting shall follow the order as specified in Article VIII.C.7.a. A roll
call vote shall also be had if the Chair is in doubt or upon demand of any delegate
supported by twenty percent (20%) of the Convention’s delegates as evidenced
by one of the following methods:
(1) A petition submitted to the Chair indicating support of the
demand by delegations which comprise not less than twenty
percent (20%) of the Convention’s delegates. In the case of the
petition in support of a demand for a roll call vote, a delegation
shall be taken to support the demand if a majority of its delegates
have signed a petition to do so.
(2) By the rising in support of the demand by not less than twenty
percent (20%) of the delegates present.
b. When a roll call vote is ordered, the roll call shall be called by states, and the
Chair of each delegation or his or her designee shall report the vote of his or her
delegation and shall send to the Convention Secretary a tally showing the vote of
each member of his or her delegation indicating whether such vote was cast in
person or by an alternate. Such roll call votes may be conducted by having the
Chair for each delegation report by telephone, or electronic voting mechanism,
the vote of his or her delegation to the rostrum, provided that the telephone poll
shall not be used in the balloting for the Presidential and Vice Presidential
nominees. Business shall be permitted to proceed during the telephone roll call
the Delegation Chair shall record and tally votes of the delegation on official roll
call tally sheets provided by the Convention Secretary. All official roll call tally
sheets shall be turned in to the Convention Secretary at a specified location not
more than thirty (30) minutes after the close of each voting period.
c. All delegates to the National Convention pledged to a presidential candidate shall
in all good conscience reflect the sentiments of those who elected them.
d. In the case where a pledged delegate is not on the floor of the Convention Hall at
the time a vote is taken, an alternate may be designated according to the rules to
cast the vote. In no case may an alternate cast a vote for a delegate allocated
under I.F., I.G., I.H. or I.I. of this Call.
e. On a roll call vote by states, the vote cast on behalf of a delegation may be
challenged by communication to the Convention Secretary by telephone or other
means by any voting member of that state’s delegation within ten (10) minutes
after the Convention Secretary’s announcement of the state’s vote. The votes of
that delegation shall then be recorded as polled without regard to any state law,
party rule, resolution or instruction binding the delegation or any member thereof
to vote for or against any candidate or proposition. The Convention Chair may
send a parliamentarian to the delegation to conduct the poll. At the discretion of
the Convention Chair, the roll call may continue instead of waiting for the result
of the polling.
f. On a roll call vote conducted by telephone or other electronic voting mechanism,
the vote of a delegation as shown on the video projection system may be
challenged by communication to the Convention Secretary by telephone or other
means by any voting member of the delegation within ten (10) minutes after the
delegation’s vote is shown on the screen.
g. A demand to poll a delegation may be withdrawn at any time before the actual
polling has begun.

G. Filling a Vacancy on the National Ticket: In the event of death, resignation or disability of a
nominee of the Party for President or Vice President after the adjournment of the National
Convention, the National Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee shall confer with
the Democratic leadership of the United States Congress and the Democratic Governors
Association and shall report to the Democratic National Committee, which is authorized to fill the
vacancy or vacancies.
H. Interpretation of the Rules: In interpreting the rules, the Chair may have recourse to the ruling of
Chairs of previous Democratic Conventions, to the precedents of the United States House of
Representatives and to general parliamentary law.

U. Journal of Proceedings:
1. A record of all actions taken each day by the Convention shall be printed and made
available to all delegates and alternates the following day by the Convention Secretary.
2. The Secretary of the Democratic National Committee will provide a journal of the full
proceedings of the Convention, which shall be printed within the year following the
Convention.

#94 mccaindemo on 08.25.08 at 11:19 am

The world is watching and commenting, this from the Times UK re :VP pick

“Biden is a Kennedy friend. Old, rich and white senators poised to stop the woman. They found a man who could undermine her appeal with the African-American vote,turn them away from the candidate who since meeting Martin Luther King as a young girl had dedicated her life for civil rights.”

All of the sleaze of this primary and those responsible for it will come to light for the world to see..then who will Jimmy Carter send to us for election monitoring ?

Power does indeed corrupt, you need only to look at the DNC, Kennedy,Kerry,Biden,Reid, Pelosi, and I could go on and on> When we ‘the people’ keep electing the same folks who do nothing for we ‘the people’ look what we create. As the old baseball saying goes….TIME TO THROW THE BUMS OUT. We will remember in November,perhaps there will be enough of us to circumvent the voter fraud of massive proportions they have worked out for the general election…oh, and all with the medias gung- ho approval and support. This is America ?? Shame.

Good Morning Pumas!!!

After reading the updates I am so mad I could spit!!! Whoever has that petition needs to find as many media outlets as possible to get the word out. The public needs to know what is going on. They need to know that the DNC is not only breaking their own rules but also not allowing free speech.

My opinion on Howard Dean is that he is a waste of time. After meeting him it is obvious that he doesn’t care about us and will do everything he can to stop us. I believe that we have to use the media. We must ruin the convention for the DNC and show the public that there is no Unity in the party and that the wool is being pulled over their eyes.

#104 NObamaDem on 08.25.08 at 11:24 am

I expect to see “the new and improved” Michele Obama tonight, probably had major work with image consultants.

But America will remember-
1. “For the first time in my life, I’m proud of my country”
2. “I just want to rip his eyes out” talking about Bill Clinton.
3. “I’d really have to think about it, her tone” etc. when asked if she’d support Hillary
4. Her table manners at the pancake breakfast.
(Image her at a state dinner)
5. “If you can’t run your own house, how can you run the White House”-the lowest thing one woman has ever said about another in this campaign.
6. The hospital she works for tripling her salary when Obama got elected in Illinois. (Why don’t I believe Obama on health care reform?)
7. Someone needs to explain why she doesn’t give Christmas or Birthday gifts to her children-I really don’t understand that.
8. Her long friendship with Bernadette Dorne.
9. Her involvement in Reverend Wright’s church, and the fact that she let her children be exposed to his hate.

Party Unity My Ass

#115 vadaryl on 08.25.08 at 11:29 am

Think of the future if this petition get’s some press it will help other groups down the road know that they too can get something done and can be heard if they also produce valid documents.

I know you are getting tired of me jumping all over this but I just don’t want this petition to just go down the drain with everything else. I will stop!

#116 Susie1945 on 08.25.08 at 11:30 am

Ratbas*ards still don’t get it – they all thought that by time of the convention we would all be falling in line – they don’t understand what we’re saying – it’s not about Hillary so much anymore – it’s about how the whole Democratic party and processes have been hijacked and it is no longer the party we knew – like sm77 says – When Democracy comes back to the party, we will come back…………………

#117 GBPuma on 08.25.08 at 11:30 am

Okay it is sup posed to a secret but Hillary Clinton is coming to speak at the Hispanic Caucus at the Colorado Convention Center at 9:30am

It is free and open to the public but it will fill up fast.

Has anyone been able to get over there?….in force hopefully!

I say some quickie flyers should be made up in Denver–concerning the delegate pre-vote bogus event.

Just hand it to the press if you see them. I think they will pay more attention if they can hold it and see it on paper, rather than just listen.

I agree, we need to flood the media outlets with news of every outrageous move the DNC tries to pull in secret.

Also, we need to keep writing Hillary every day telling her that no matter what she does she can’t bring unity to the party by supporting Obama.

The democratic party and Senator Obama’s campaign are currently attempting to suppress the votes of Senator Clinton’s delegates, the way voices of Senator Clinton’s voters in Michigan and Florida were silenced. They are forcing a ’secret ballot’ on Wednesday by advising all pledged delegates that they MUST submit their votes in writing prior to 10am Wed. The Party’s own rules, Article VIII. PROCEDURAL RULES OF THE 2008 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION, section F(1) states unequivocally that “no secret ballots shall be permitted at any stage of the Convention or its committee proceedings”.

We the voters who support and will continue to support Senator Clinton, demand that Howard Dean take full leadership at this crucial time. Please announce our demands directly to Howard Dean via your news show:

ROLL CALL VOTE IN PUBLIC, ON THE FLOOR. NO SECRET BALLOTS.

STOP TRYING TO SILENCE HILLARY’S DELEGATES.

Thank you for your assistance.

Trish here’s a thought . Maybe call but not ask for him but ask to leave a message for him. Please reconsider back room vote of delegates . Thoughts??

#149 TexasTigress on 08.25.08 at 11:40 am

#150 TrishfromCanada on 08.25.08 at 11:40 am

I came across this from 2005, looks like dean had a change of thought since then (sarcasm):

Members of the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) Black Caucus have become seemingly desensitized to racial slurs. The Caucus did not even blink when the extreme Left’s new champion, Howard Dean, made prejudiced statements right before their very eyes. From Dean’s comments, it seems he believes that a Black person’s place is to be cleaning toilets at a hotel in which whites stay. According to the Washington Times,

On Feb. 11, the day before he was elected party chief, Mr. Dean asked, at a meeting of the DNC Black Caucus, “You think the Republican National Committee could get this many people of color in a single room?” The Associated Press reports that laughter greeted Mr. Dean, who then delivered the punchline: “Only if they had the hotel staff in here.”

#151 Susie1945 on 08.25.08 at 11:40 am

just sent the following email to email addresses listed above – getting a couple back with bad addys:

‘The democratic party and Senator Obama’s campaign are currently attempting to suppress the votes of Senator Clinton’s delegates by conducting a secret
paper ballot on Wednesday which is contrary to the rules of the Democratic National Committee which states no secret ballots are allowed. This can not
continue.

We the voters who support and will continue to support Senator Clinton, demand that Howard Dean take full leadership at this crucial time. Please announce our demands directly to Howard Dean via your news show:

hopefully, somebody will read and maybe will get some publicity – however, the more emails they get the better it will be.

#152 lisa on 08.25.08 at 11:41 am

Hotels can’t divulge their guest lists. The only way to find him is to walk the halls and ask people you see in the hotels (not employees- they have to keep that info secret). He will most likely be staying in an upper floor suite, and he will definitely have his own security people. So that is something to look for as a clue.

#153 TEXS4HILLARY on 08.25.08 at 11:41 am

HOWDY PUMAS!!! Sorry I haven’t been around I have been studying and getting kids ready to go back to school.

Well it looks like ALL Hillary supporters WILL be voting for MCCAIN!!! There are more Clinton supporters than any news media realizes. Some don’t vote on the online polls.

If anybody was watching the fox live link, a person there gave out and email address to someone who was on the phone and she said if you have something we would be glad to look at it, just email it. What was that email address.

#156 Elaine on 08.25.08 at 11:42 am

Murphy, can the photos of PUMAs with signs be sent to the press? Everyone in the photo OK with that? I’d like to send it as a news item.

Fox had a guest say that “history shows that Hillary supporters will come back to the party.” I’m using photos and my website to point out that history shows the OPPOSITE. Tomorrow is the 88th anniversary of Women’s suffrage — which we got by boycotting the
Democratic party in 2 major elections.

Good Morning PUMAs.

Great job everyone is doing. I’ve emailed letters to the media including local media here in Pittsburgh.

Thanks for posting the call to convention. jbjd said that maybe we could find answers in it regarding what action can be taken if the DNC does not follow the rules. I printed it out last night and started reading through (hard for me to read online).

I am lurking most of the day…really busy here at work. If there’s a prowl or action alert please put it in bold. Thank you.

BTW, a very good friend of mine (pro-obama) whom I’ve known for over 30 years said to me a few days ago “if I didn’t know better (both of us are Black), I’d think you had a problem with Black people”. I won’t print what I said to her… at present, we aren’t speaking.

#164 Missy on 08.25.08 at 11:44 am

All the MSM are saying that Obama has worked hard the last two months to win over Hillary supporters…what am I missing here? *What* has he done?
We also know that the burden to unite the party has fallen to Hillary first, and then Bill Clinton. Why? Why should it be Hillary’s burden when the Obama campaign has championed the Messiah’s ability to reach out?
This dog and pony show aka the convention is a complete charade, a smoke and mirrors performance. Granting the Clintons time to speak at the convention in an attempt to show respect to Hillary and her supporters — what a crock! They need her and they have done nothing but disrespect her since the get-go. I am thoroughly disgusted.

Where is Howard Dean? (Show the photo of him doing the SCREAM.) Then describe the delegate pre-vote bogus secret sham bs.

Murphy – this is for you and the PUMAs in Denver. A friend passed it on to me. Print it and give it to the delegates, the press, the party leaders. These are the convention rules. Stick with it.

The following comes from Article VIII.C.6 and Article VIII.C.7. of the Call for the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Link to the entire document may be found here:
http://tinyurl.com/6ap3hh

6. Nomination of the Democratic Candidate for President: The Permanent Chair shall receive nominations from the floor for the Democratic candidate for the Office of President of the United States in the following manner:

a. Requests to nominate a presidential candidate shall be in writing and shall have affixed thereto the written approval of the proposed nominee and the name of the individuals who shall be recognized to make the nominating and seconding speeches on behalf of a presidential candidate and shall be delivered to the Convention Secretary at a location as specified by the Secretary no later than 6:00 p.m. of the day preceding the day designated for the commencement of presidential nominations.

b. Each such request must be accompanied by a petition indicating support for the proposed nominee signed by delegates representing not less than 300 or more than 600 delegate votes, not more than 50 of which may come from one (1) delegation. A delegate may not sign more than one (1) nominating petition for president and for vice president.

c. The order for nominating presidential candidates shall be determined by the National Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee, the Permanent Chair of the Convention and each presidential candidate, or his or her authorized representative, who qualifies to be nominated pursuant to this section.

d. Each presidential candidate shall be allowed a total of twenty (20) minutes for the presentation of his or her name in nomination by nominating and seconding speeches, the time to run without interruption from the recognition of the nominator.

e. Delegates and alternates shall maintain order during and following nominations for the Office of President and demonstrations shall not be permitted.

7. Roll Call for Presidential Candidate:

a. After nominations for presidential candidates have closed, the Convention shall proceed to a roll call vote by states on the selection of the presidential candidate.
The roll call voting shall follow the alphabetical order of the states with the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico and the territories treated as states for the purpose of the alphabetical roll call.

b. A majority vote of the Convention’s delegates shall be required to nominate the presidential candidate.

c. Delegates may vote for the candidate of their choice whether or not the name of such candidate was placed in nomination. Any vote cast other than a vote for a presidential candidate meeting the requirements of Article VI of this Call and Rule 12.K. of the 2008 Delegate Selection Rules shall be considered a vote for “Present.”

d. Balloting will continue until a nominee is selected. The nominee shall become the candidate of the Democratic Party of the United States for the Office of President upon the conclusion of his or her acceptance speech.

#213 NObamaDem on 08.25.08 at 12:04 pm

Pumas, I just heard this am on a show, It was some sort of a forum, where they stated that the conventions, both of them, are paid out of the US Treasury. That means that the Dem convention is bought and paid for by we the taxpayers, not the Party. The only thing the Parties pay for are all the percs and fanfare stuff, which is paid by private entities.

So that means we the people actually OWN this convention and legally I would think they have to do it OUR way. Am I right?

#214 LivingGrace on 08.25.08 at 12:05 pm

ANNOUNCEMENT FROM DENVER

Murphy, Mama, and I would like to thank all of your for your dedication, support, and actions in making our presence in Denver happen.

We caution you not to open any link to the documentary film “Audacity of Democracy” that does come from PUMA PAC. We will be posting the premiere in one of today’s blog headers for you to view safely. We are waiting for the conversion from our film makers.

The battle for democracy has begun.

JOIN US IN DENVER – LIVE!
Sheri Tag will be hosting a 1 hour special edition of No We Won’t radio from PUMA HQ in Denver at 1:30 pm EST. We will be available to answer any questions you may have about the PUMA happenings in Denver and the recent media coverage of PUMA.

Call in on 347-539-5420.

The events at Cheesman Park are scheduled to begin at 4:00 pm EST.

The mock roll call signs and PUMA PAC member signs are ready to ROCK! The PUMAs are ready to roll!

#218 determinedinNM on 08.25.08 at 12:08 pm

#204 Elaine – great idea. Can we give media a phone number of two of PUMA spokespeople? Also, can the delegates go ahead and place Hillary in nomination, even if she releases them? That would be more impactful; it would also allow her to be able to honestly say she did all she could to get her delegates “in line”.

IMPORTANT

If the DNC continues to thwart the democratic process and deny a vote, then the convention cannot be paid for by taxpayers money.

The money is for a NOMINATION not a Debutante Ball.

We will have PROOF after this that it happened, and the DNC will have to pay for the convention themselves- and maybe possibly even be cited for breaking a law or two? Jennifer of jbjd?

mcr: You are so right! MSNBC has been going on and on about the Clintons this morning and I thought the same thing that they are just setting them up so they can dissect everything they say during their speeches and then pounce to try and put the blame on them for BO tanking.
Also, Chuck Todd wants to know if there is anything MO can say today to those Hillary supporters to bring them over to BO’s side? What do you say PUMAs? I know my answer.

#240 Firefly on 08.25.08 at 12:23 pm

In the end, even if BO manages to “win” the nomination, he LOSES. He has already lost the respect of a majority of people who can see through the sham and the cheating happening in his campaign. Mainstream Media LOSE too – its credibility is totally blown to bits and flushed down the sewer with its dumb channeling of support for BO by ignoring all his shortcomings. And those Demoncrats who have closed their eyes and plugged their ears to the voice of protest against all the cheating being done by BO’s campaign should suffer sleepless nights for as long as they live. Unity can never be an objective over and above Integrity and Honesty. Gawd ! Can’t anyone else, other than the PUMAS, see how dreadful the world can be if America’s president is a cheater. Cheaters are punished even in grade school, for heavens sake. Why is BO getting away with this sin? If Hillary bows out to BO, does it mean that she has compromised her Honor for the sake of Unity? I’m rambling, can’t process all these disturbing Convention scenarios in my addled brain.

Keep faith Pumas and stay strong. thank you.

#241 LivingGrace on 08.25.08 at 12:23 pm

I am so absolutely and totally wounded and disgusted and feeling totally betrayed that MO will be giving an opening speech to try to tell US all why BO is the best man for the job. It’s a travesty, a national tragedy that she is even allowed on the stage AT ALL!!!!!

#243 redraz9 on 08.25.08 at 12:23 pm

To answer a question from earlier.
Yes a Pac can support a candidate.
——————–
What is a PAC?
Political Action Committee (PAC) — A popular term for a political committee organized for the purpose of raising and spending money to elect and defeat candidates. Most PACs represent business, labor or ideological interests. PACs can give $5,000 to a candidate committee per election (primary, general or special). They can also give up to $15,000 annually to any national party committee, and $5,000 annually to any other PAC. PACs may receive up to $5,000 from any one individual, PAC or party committee per calendar year. A PAC must register with the FEC within 10 days of its formation, providing name and address for the PAC, its treasurer and any connected organizations. Affiliated PACs are treated as one donor for the purpose of contribution limits.

PACs have been around since 1944, when the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) formed the first one to raise money for the re-election of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The PAC’s money came from voluntary contributions from union members rather than union treasuries, so it did not violate the Smith Connally Act of 1943, which forbade unions from contributing to federal candidates. Although commonly called PACs, federal election law refers to these accounts as “separate segregated funds” because money contributed to a PAC is kept in a bank account separate from the general corporate or union treasury.

#244 Ergot4Hill on 08.25.08 at 12:24 pm

I looked up the four closest hotels to the convention site on mapquest and called all of them. I demanded to speak with the managers when the front desk person would not answer my question about Dean, even when I reminded them we live in a DEMOCRACY and Dean is an ELECTED OFFICIAL.

(Then I remembered Dean ISN’T an elected official anymore – selected not elected I guess LOL!)

I got the manager on the line at one hotel and told him not only to check for HOWARD Dean, but also for COWARD Dean LOL!

If the reports are true that the ballots are going to take
place in hotel rooms, how will anyone know the true result
of the ballot as there is no way to verify the result.
This is not a transparent vote…….. the whole convention
is turning out to be dishonest, a mere charade….
At least in Ireland and England the counting of votes is
done in public, with monitors of all the parties being able
to scrutinize the full count and final result…..

I think, in triaging priorities, trying to track down Dean and leave a message is less important than contacting the media (and this includes the delegates) to get press conferences going. Dean is the leader of all of this corruption. He’ll never back down from what he’s up to. But, if the public were made aware (via the media) that this convention has started to look like the kind of elections that occur in corrupt nations around the world whereby outside international observers are needed to ensure all remains legal and fair, folks might get a bit alarmed.

The delegates need to be raising their voices and doing all they can to raise the public’s awareness. Meanwhile, all of us back home can bombard the media with letters informing them of these never-ending manipulations by the DNC.

#282 Maryland PUMA on 08.25.08 at 12:38 pm

It has been non-stop since I arrived in Denver Saturday afternoon after a 12 hour travel journey and two time zones.

We arrive at HQ at 10:00 am MDT (12:00 EST) and go full force until 3:00 am MDT (5:00 EST). We are exhausted but excited and proud. There are still three days to go and many battles to fight to influence the war in the Democratic Party.

I want to remind everyone that we are not professional media spokespeople, reporters, event organizers, etc. This is our first foray into the true public forum. Some things are working….some things have to be revisited.

The key thing to remember at the end of the day is that had it not been for each of YOU, our PUMA PAC members, that this day would have never come. We would still be sitting in our homes and communities – silenced and manipulated by DNC power brokers. Because of YOU we have a real presence in Denver. Because of YOU we have media coverage and because of you.

WE HAVE BEEN AND CONTINUE TO BE HEARD!

Darragh is non-stop interviews and phone calls. Mama and I are running the administrative end of all the PUMA PAC events and HQ, greeting visitors, problem-solving, networking, errand running, sign-making, and takin’ it to the street. Oh, and drinking TONS of caffeine.

HERE’S A DRAFT OF A MEDIA LETTER. OBVIOUSLY, WE’RE STILL SCRAMBLING TRYING TO FIGURE OUT JUST WHAT’S GOING ON SO NOT SURE WHETHER TO SEND AS IT, OR SIT TIGHT FOR WHILE AND SEE IF THINGS GET CLEARER. PROS AND CONS TO DOING BOTH.
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - — – -
To whom it may concern:

Alarming threats to the most basic fabric of our democracy are in play at the Democratic National Convention and deserve the utmost scrutiny by the media, here and abroad. There has been a persistent and steady attempt by leaders within the Democratic party to silence the voices of the 18 million Americans who cast their vote for Senator Hillary Clinton.

Initially, there were threats that her name would not be placed in nomination at the convention. After a great deal of push back from countless Americans who voted for Senator Clinton, the DNC eventually announced her name would be placed in nomination.

Shortly thereafter, however, it became unclear as to whether there would be a roll call vote. Without a roll call vote, having a candidate’s name placed in nomination becomes moot.

Meanwhile, with press reports that Senator Clinton might release her delegates and urge them to vote for Senator Obama, hundreds of pledged delegates acquired the legally required number of signatures to ensure that her name would be placed in nomination.

The most recent development is that the DNC is considering having a closed door written vote with no established Chain of Possession.

Is this the way a democracy functions? The proceedings are beginning to look a lot like elections that occur in countries in the world where corruption runs rampant, requiring outside international observers to make sure voter’s voices are heard.

Senator Clinton won the popular vote. She won more primaries than any candidate in history. And yet, the Democratic Party appears to be doing everything in their power, at every twist and turn, to ensure that the 18 million of us who voted for Senator Clinton have no representation on the convention floor.

This is a travesty and is an affront to the very principals of a democratic society. I urge you to investigate and bring this story to light.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

#302 CTKEY on 08.25.08 at 12:47 pm

Remember on you Income Tax form when you ck that $1.00 (I think it is $1.00) is to go towards the political elections (or whatever, I do not have my tax forms handy)? That money, I have heard, is also used for the conventions. So you may have donated to them and not be aware of it.

#308 LivingGrace on 08.25.08 at 12:49 pm

It seems to me, based on the above ‘hint’, that perhaps we might be campaigning our efforts toward states Attorney’s General and Secretaries of State reminding them that they not only work for us but can also be fired by us. (our votes being the only real weapons we have) We have made our message known to the delegates and really have no power over delegates unless they hold elected office, one way or another.

It’s going to be nauseating, and how many times will we hear: McCain is “four more years” of Bush…it doesn’t WORK. They have stupid talking points.

I hope Hillary doesn’t RUIN her historic speech by pumping up Obama the whole time. I know she will, but it’s such a historic speech, these speeches get published in books: Hillary don’t muck it up with Obama smeared in that speech. It’s the anniversary of women’s suffrage…and YOU made history. Make the speech for us, I’m gonna roll my eyes if all I hear is “unity” and “Obama” this and that.

I believe it’s actually $3, but that’s neither here nor there. The point is that we pay for the conventions, and therefore, we the people have the right to say how they should be operated in my opinion. The same way that we pay for our state primaries/caucuses. But of course we’ve seen how the BO campaign gamed those events.

someone call Murphy!!!

FLOODING PEPSI VENUE

This just over msnbc. A sprinkler has let go and broken through a skylight in the PEPSI CENTER and is FLOODING the VENUE… NO ONE is RUSHING to turn the sprinkler OFF!

This wouldn’t be in case by some miracle Hillary wins the nomination she doesn’t have a place to go?

This was just my first thought… until, an msnbc news anchor said…”Let the Conspiracy theory’s begin”..

I don’t think he would have hinted something like that unless there was something to it!

Hey Gang, I am trying to keep my spirits up. I went to bed last night in my PUMA t-shirt so I could ’sleep with the Pumas”…ha!. Then this morning, when I checked into PUMA Pac.com and saw Darragh Murphy out in front of the Puma HQ wearing ‘her’ shirt (same color, too-red) I decided to throw on my bra and wear it all day, too! I suppose it will need to be washed sometime but it makes me feel closer to our sisters and brothers there in Denver.

If you make some changes, feel free to post if you like, so I and others can read it and adopt it for our own as well (if you’re ok with that). I’d be curious to see how it might read and feel w/o mention of Clinton’s name. Sounds like a great way to go. I’ll be looking out for what you do with it!!!

#335 bobram on 08.25.08 at 12:59 pm

jbjd – as mentioned above – something is up with this whole thing – once there was even supposed to be a prowl over it but got cancelled – if you have a letter, names, fax numbers, contacts – let us have it and be on with it – its beyond the delegates now – on to better fish to fry so to speak. You once said that we have 24 hours to submit this information AFTER the nomination – if we have everything set up beforehand and if GOD forbid that he does get the nomination then we will have the time to complete the action.

(Maybe you could focus your energies on contacting your elected officials, who paid for the rigged caucuses of this private party, that helped to get us in this mess.)

Just saw your latest post:

There is apparently an inexplicable increase in the last two days in GOOGLE searches for the words “Michele Obama Pregnant?” and a wildfire internet rumor has started that Michele will be announcing at the convention that she is, in fact, “with child”…

…thus innoculating her from any further criticism for the duration of the campaign.

You heard it here first.

Couple that with trotting Ted Kennedy out, fresh from a chemotherapy session, and you will begin to get a glimpse of just what lengths these people will go to manipulate the masses!

HOWARD DEAN FAX FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO USE IT
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – — – - – - – - – -
August 25, 2008

Dear Dr. Dean:

There must be no secret ballots at the convention. Anything less than an open and fair roll call vote on the convention floor will be a sham and an affront to the most core democratic values that we hold near and dear and will be in violation of Democratic Party rules.

Per the DNC Rules, Article 8, Section F1: “No secret ballot shall be permitted at any stage of the convention or its committee proceedings.”

Per DNC Rules, Section 8F3: “Voting shall be by voice vote, or when prescribed by these rules, by roll call vote.”

I am expecting the DNC to abide by their own rules and to uphold the democratic principals of a free and open society.

Sincerely,

#364 murphy on 08.25.08 at 1:10 pm

#365 Taffy on 08.25.08 at 1:10 pm

Protest groups are much smaller than anticipated. Said it’s probably because of gas prices. Protestors upset because protest area is over 700 feet (2 football fields) from front doors so no voices can be heard inside.

bo is responsible for FL and MI votes being reinstated. He wanted a fully democratic convention!!!!

#366 LivingGrace on 08.25.08 at 1:10 pm

I will do that and see what I can come up with, Anna. In the meantime I have a suggestion…..
Each of us is unique and possess our own talents. but after watching this blog since it began the talents of several have stood out. Murphy, Maryland, Mama, etc for sure.
But here, on the blog, jbjd seems to have established himself (in my mind) as the most authoritative as to democratic and electoral processes. Just as you, Anna, have established not only your knowledge, but also your eloquence in letter composition.
So I’m suggesting that, even though we are all free individuals, that we put our differences aside and unite even temporarily under an informal chain. We can make suggestions to jbjd as jbjd directs, and we make suggestions to Anna as she composes and we can all make a joint effort in taking the actions. It seems like many of us are willing to take suggestions and act on them, rather than running helter-skelter like the proverbial ‘chickens with their heads cut off’.IMHO

REWORKED MEDIA LETTER AFTER LIVING GRACE’S COMMENT AND MURPHY’S POST OF THE DNC RULES. FREE TO GOOD HOME!
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – — – - – - – - – - – - -
To the Editor:

Alarming threats to the most basic fabric of our democracy are in play at the Democratic National Convention and deserve the utmost scrutiny by the media, here and abroad. There has been a persistent and steady attempt by leaders within the Democratic party to silence the voices of the 18 million Americans who cast their vote for Senator Hillary Clinton.

Initially, there were threats that her name would not be placed in nomination at the convention. After a great deal of push back from countless Americans who voted for Senator Clinton, the DNC eventually announced her name would be placed in nomination. Shortly thereafter, however, it became unclear as to whether there would be a roll call vote. Without a roll call vote, having a candidate’s name placed in nomination becomes moot.

The most recent development is that the DNC is considering having a closed door written vote with no established Chain of Possession. There must be no secret ballots at the convention. Anything less than an open and fair roll call vote on the convention floor will be a sham and an affront to the most core democratic values that we hold near and dear and will be in violation of Democratic Party rules.

Per the DNC Rules, Article 8, Section F1: “No secret ballot shall be permitted at any stage of the convention or its committee proceedings.”

Per DNC Rules, Section 8F3: “Voting shall be by voice vote, or when prescribed by these rules, by roll call vote.”

We should all be expecting the DNC to abide by their own rules and to uphold the democratic principals of a free and open society. Anything less would be a travesty and an affront to the very principals of a democratic society. I urge you to investigate and bring this story to light.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Here is my revision of the letter. But I like Anna’s inclusion of the rules.
HERE’S A DRAFT OF A MEDIA LETTER. OBVIOUSLY, WE’RE STILL SCRAMBLING TRYING TO FIGURE OUT JUST WHAT’S GOING ON SO NOT SURE WHETHER TO SEND AS IT, OR SIT TIGHT FOR WHILE AND SEE IF THINGS GET CLEARER. PROS AND CONS TO DOING BOTH.
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - — – -
To whom it may concern:
Alarming threats to the most basic fabric of our democracy are in play at the Democratic National Convention and deserve the utmost scrutiny by the media, here and abroad. There has been a persistent and steady attempt by leaders within the Democratic Party to silence the voices of the 18 million Americans who cast their votes for against Senator Obama.
Initially, there were threats that his opponent would not be placed in nomination at the convention. After a great deal of push back from countless Americans who voted against Senator Obama, the DNC eventually announced the opponent’s name would be placed in nomination.
Shortly thereafter, however, it became unclear as to whether there would be a roll call vote. Without a roll call vote, having a candidate’s name placed in nomination becomes moot.
Meanwhile, hundreds of pledged delegates acquired the legally required number of signatures to ensure that the name of Senator Obama’s opponent would be placed in nomination.
The most recent development is that the DNC is considering having a closed door written vote with no established Chain of Possession.
This is not the way a democracy functions The proceedings are beginning to look a lot like elections that occur in countries in the world where corruption runs rampant, requiring outside international observers to make sure voter’s voices are heard. And the eyes of the world are watching.
Senator Obama’s opponent actually won the popular vote. She won more primaries than any candidate in history. And yet, the Democratic Party appears to be doing everything in their power, at every twist and turn, to ensure that the 18 million voters who voted for Senator Clinton have no representation on the convention floor.
This is a travesty and is an affront to the very principals of a democratic society. Laws have been broken and fraud has occurred I urge you to investigate and bring this story to light.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

#424 Anna7000 on 08.25.08 at 1:29 pm

bobram – i agree about a fax being a more stable form of communication for this particular purpose. just called the hote and they confirmed the fax as being the one murphy provided (303/758-6542). when i told them a friend had tried it and it didn’t go through, she said that was the number, but perhaps the machine was out of paper. she was going to go check it. maybe best to use both faxes as a back up. i’m going to go try murphy’s fax number and see if it works.

Fax to the number Murphy provided went through. If we send a lot of faxes, their machine may run out of paper faster than usual. If a fax doesn’t work, perhaps good idea to call the hotel and have them check the paper.

#430 Anna7000 on 08.25.08 at 1:32 pm

Given the nature of the situation, I wouldn’t be surprised if hotels are instructed not to inform callers if Howard Dean is a guest at the hotel. Likely anyone who’s anyone who needs to get a hold of him, already knows how to reach him and anyone who’s calling could have questionable intentions. For security reasons, it may be next to impossible for us to really be able to accurately pin down where he’s staying.

#431 sandtraps on 08.25.08 at 1:32 pm

Gallup Daily: Race Tied as Democratic Convention Starts NEW August 25, 2008
Barack Obama and John McCain each receive 45% support when registered voters are asked who they would vote for if the presidential election were held today.
The latest update includes two days of interviewing following Obama’s selection of Sen. Joe Biden as his vice presidential running mate, and neither day showed an improved performance for Obama. Thus, Obama does not appear to have gotten the same type of immediate “vice presidential bounce” as have presidential candidates in recent years. That could reflect a somewhat muted national response to the Biden selection

#432 GBPuma on 08.25.08 at 1:32 pm

OH GOD!!! I am just SO tired of them towing the PARTY LINE. Just say Anne Lewis on MSNBC toting the Party Line like all the other zombies……Anne Lewis was in Bill’s administration and a major advisor and ardent Hillary support for those that didn’t know……..ugggghhh they just drive me up the wall with this Party loyalty over Loyalty to the people of America.

And another first for the Obama-siah at a political convention. Obama is out campaigning through Thurs. and not expected in Denver until shortly before his acceptance speech……..No candidate has ever not been at the convention to mingle among the delegates to answer questions and meet the people. But that would be too close for comfort for him because he might actually have to answer for himself and the fraud and facade would be exposed…….
This has just gotten to be the SADDEST ROYAL F… JOKE IN AMERICAN HISTORY!

#439 EWard on 08.25.08 at 1:35 pm

Murphy & Maryland,

I want to echo everything that Trish just said. If it wasn’t for Puma Pac and other groups, we would be sitting home and feel powerless.

BO is responsible for the discontent on both sides. It is the role of the frontrunner to heal. If anything, BO and his campaign have made it worse by shutting down any type of dissent.

One more thing, I’ve been blogging over at ABC News under a different screen name. The anger displayed by BO’s supporters is unbelievable. The accusations of racism are thrown out at anyone not supporting BO. Any attempt to reason with them is met with @### epithets. BO does not appeal to the better instincts of his followers. This is why the public does not trust BO.

I agree with the other Pumas, it is a better use of our time to email letters to the media.

Great job everyone!

#441 Anna7000 on 08.25.08 at 1:35 pm

Living Grace – Interesting effect of using the word “opponent” instead of Clinton’s name (though, by the way, you suddenly do use her name at the very end which is a bit jarring since you avoid using it up to that point). It has the effect of highlighting how the DNC is trying to block opposition to Obama. Very interesting and potentially quite effective. Thanks for posting it!

SHORTER MEDIA LETTER
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - — –
To whom it may concern:

Alarming threats to the most basic fabric of our democracy are in play at the Democratic National Convention and deserve the utmost scrutiny by the media, here and abroad. There has been a persistent and steady attempt by leaders within the Democratic party to silence the voices of the 18 million Americans who cast their vote for Senator Hillary Clinton.

The DNC is now considering having a closed door written vote. There must be no secret ballots at the convention. Anything less than an open and fair roll call vote on the convention floor will be a sham and an affront to the most core democratic values that we hold near and dear. It would also be a violation of Democratic Party rules.

Per the DNC Rules, Article 8, Section F1: “No secret ballot shall be permitted at any stage of the convention or its committee proceedings.”

Per DNC Rules, Section 8F3: “Voting shall be by voice vote, or when prescribed by these rules, by roll call vote.”

We should all be expecting the DNC to abide by their own rules and to uphold the democratic principals of a free and open society. Anything less would be a travesty and an affront to the very principals of a democracy. I urge you to investigate and bring this story to light.

Thank you.

#460 zach on 08.25.08 at 1:45 pm

I just want to stress, once again, that calling the hotel(s) will only succeed in winning the ill will of everyone that works there and everyone they talk to. Howard Dean, and every other prominent figure, does not use hotel phones for correspondence when traveling. He doesn’t check his voice messages there. People who need to contact him use his cell phone or leave messages at DNC headquarters. He doesn’t send everyone a text message or whatever whenever he travels to a new hotel saying “Call me at the Loews!” Consequently, his hotel phone is little more than a paperweight to him.

I suppose the fax approach is moderately better, but I really think that this “phone call barrage” is counter-productive and doing PUMA a disservice.

#461 just.words... on 08.25.08 at 1:46 pm

#469 Anna7000 on 08.25.08 at 1:51 pm

LivingGrace – This is no scientific sampling, but in the community where I live, it seems pretty right on. After Obama was anointed this spring, I drove around and knocked on the doors of folks who had Clinton yard signs out. I figured they were die hard supporters. This grassroots movement was just getting started and I had typed up some web sites on fliers I made to give out to let Clinton supporters know about what was going on. A few had mild interest, but most expressed fear that she would just serve as a “spoiler”, not unlike Nadar was. I followed up with some who seemed on the fence, but ultimately, I’d have to say, the majority were about supporting the Democratic ticket than they were about anything else. It got disheartening.

Bottom line. Obama’s got enormous support and, at this point, he has a significant edge in the electoral college map. If he’s the nominee, we’ll have precious few weeks to turn things around.

Hang in there. You’re great!

Dear Mr. Berg,

I salute you in your efforts in filing a suit to get an injunction preventing Senator Obama from continuing his candidacy, and a court order enjoining the DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that Sen. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President of the United States.

I agree with you, this action needed to be taken in your words, “to avoid the obvious problems that will occur when the Republican Party raises these issues after Obama is nominated.” Which we know will happen as soon as Senator Obama is officially elected the democratic nominee. It would behoove the courts to allow this travesty to take place when our democratic party is already in shambles and this country can not afford yet another embrassment such as allowing a non legal/dual citizen run for the office of president. Again if you will allow me to use your own words in expressing my feelings, you said it aptly and eloquently and I quote:
“Voters donated money, goods and services to elect a nominee and were defrauded by Sen. Obama’s lies and obfuscations,” Berg stated. “If the DNC officers … had performed one ounce of due diligence we would not find ourselves in this emergency predicament, one week away from making a person the nominee who has lost their citizenship as a child and failed to even perform the basic steps of regaining citizenship as prescribed by constitutional laws.”

“It is unfair to the country,” he continued, “for candidates of either party to become the nominee when there is any question of the ability to serve if elected.”

I as a legalized U. S. natural born citizen of the United States of America, I support you in your efforts. I can only pray the courts will swiftly comply to the injunction, so this matter can be dealt with before Thursday, August 28, 2008 in the event Senator Obama is indeed elected the official democratic nominee.

Sincerely,

RE: PHIL BERG PROWL:

Send the info to other grassroots orgs so their readers can also send it out.

Send it to media outlets, including conservative publications since pro-McCain folks will love anything that’s anti-Obama.

What else?

#482 Caracal Carrie on 08.25.08 at 2:00 pm

Texas Tigress had a wonderful idea..

What about creating a Stephanie’s in Memory of Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs-Jones?

Making a list of the Delegates who are standing strong on their pledges and who should be supported during election?

We may need permission from her family though.

#483 texassherry on 08.25.08 at 2:01 pm

Attention Pumas,

I have been reading all the blogs and it seems that everyone is calling for action but not giving enough info to do so. I think notifying the media is great but I will need more info prior to doing it so I don’t sound stupid. I need to know who they contact to get info about the petition and also info on the closed voting and also info for contacting someone about the lawsuit. We have to have facts to back up our words. The media doesn’t have time to research and get the news out in time.

#487 BigCatLover on 08.25.08 at 2:02 pm

for those who can’t listen to the radio show, there is a delegate on the phone (Hillary delegate). He is saying the vote is always taken ahead of time by the state chair and the floor vote is always symbolic. The roll call always proceeds alph order, but a state can pass when they are called. Ao, it sounds like we should have been targeting our prowls to the chairs of each state delegation. They control the votes.

#488 Oneof18million cracks... on 08.25.08 at 2:03 pm

Hillary delegate is speaking on radio now, said he thinks the rumor of her releasing her delegates is just that and HE will vote for Hillary. He said she has NOTHING to say about how her delegates vote. YEA!!!!!

He said he is assured the votes will be counted fairly and securely. He is standing right outside of the radio station. He said we need to see publicly who casts the vote for who. He wants to make sure his Hillary vote is FOR Hillary. We may not see any verification until after the convention. He said he has not received any intimidation by the DNC.

#489 Sylvie4HRC on 08.25.08 at 2:04 pm

I just listened on the the radio blog that if a chairman of delegation for a state sees there are more votes in his state for Hillary but he is an BO supporter, then he can choose to pass on the roll call vote?

That is unreal!

#490 OnlyHill on 08.25.08 at 2:04 pm

#491 NewOrleansPuma on 08.25.08 at 2:04 pm

#63Zach: I beg to differ with you. Every Mardi Gras millions come in town and go to hotels, bed and breakfast, et al.We locals who have friends coming in sometime even at the last minute, call Hotels all the time and have for years. We often don’t even know which ones they may be in.

What do we do? Call and say: W ill you please connect me to so and so’s room, (they don’t need to give you a phone number, Zach…they just ring the room, if the person is registered. In addition, many hotels have voice message on registered guests…If the person is registered there and the phone doesn’t answer, sometimes it will fall back to a voice message, sometimes a person will ask if you want to leave a message!

Often as well, locals at the last minute decide to rent a hotel room with friends…same deal…Call the hotel ask to be connected to so and so’s room.

Even if you call a hospital and ask to be connected to someone’s room they will do that or tell you so andso is there in the hospital.

So…that’s the way it goes. If I am a telephone operator in a hote, I am supposed to answer andtransfer calls…
Can you fathom how many thousands of calls of the kind I have described are answered by tooperators on Mardi Gras day? A hellava lot more than what the Pumas will do. This isn’t harrassment…It is their job.
Moreover, we are talking here about one more illegal tactic used to circumvent rules of this Party andlegal rights, here. Even if it came close to harrassment, I say do it…our country is at stake.

#492 Anna7000 on 08.25.08 at 2:05 pm

texas sherry – you raise great points. but, the media has far more resources to investigate than we do. at this point, while i’d rather send a letter with more info than less, i feel like there’s enough to go on based on murphy’s info to feel like it’s important and legitimate info to send to the media. you’re right. they may not have time to investigate (or even the inclination), but neither do we and they have a lot more resources. it’s down the wire. all we can do is our best, albeit less than ideal. (and this comes from a neurotic, compulsive, perfectionist!)

#493 john on 08.25.08 at 2:05 pm

Clinton preaches unity at her first (not so unified) convention gig

Excerpt: Asked why some of her supporters are still adamant they will not vote for Obama no matter how much she encourages them to do so, Clinton said: “I don’t know, I’m doing everything I can possibly do, and I think we have made a strong case.”

Clinton gives a prime time convention speech Tuesday night, and the following day will gather her delegates together and publicly release them and urge them to support Obama.

Many of those delegates, she said, will likely vote for him, but “others feel an obligation to the people who sent them here that they were elected to represent.”

My recollection of prior conventions is that states go alphabetically and can, and do, pass if they choose to. It’s all part of the choreography and which state gets to put the candidate over the top. So, this is nothing new and I’ve seen a lot of conventions.

#496 mccaindemo on 08.25.08 at 2:07 pm

Hi Anna7000..I’m sorry you are running into Obamamania…I live in Charlottesville, Virginia and happily I am talking to folks cooling to BO, most people do not trust what he says with all of his meanderings around issues and that YES vote for FISA seemed to be the last straw, oh and the World Tour was laughable..The University of Virginia students are smart , they are not the Obamabots we see so often on the net. Anyway we will keep up the good fight and make sure he doesn’t get anywhere near the White House.

#512 NewOrleansPuma on 08.25.08 at 2:12 pm

#483 That is not an accurate description by that delegate. I have seen with my own eyes, state chairs collecting and consulting with delegates on the floor prior to their state call, and the pass has often been about not having all the votes right there on the floor in hand. This is often the case when in fact there is more than one candidate at convention trying to get and switch votes from one candidate to another.
This delegate either conveniently or in ingorance of the past gave you just enough info to not state the facts of the prior traditions and rules in this party. Once more the older you are, the more you see how devient this entire process continues to be. Go to the press.
Get a press conference. NOW.

Someone has been posting about the secret votes. Is this coming from msm, emails, or what. Who is getting this info and where are they getting it from. Is it just rumor?

I have also seen posts about the petition. Where is this info coming from. Are these people in Denver? How can the media get in touch with them?

I don’t want the pumas to look like people who just spread gossip. I want to have something to back up our claims so that we are taken seriously. Otherwise I will not participate in this prowl. Sorry.

I heard on the blog that delegates were being locked into hotel rooms (torture chambers) with BO’s people and having their futures with the democratic party threatened.

Don’t the delegates know that if they band together and make Hillary the Nominee, BO loses all power.

If they give in, they are forever under BO’s thumb.

texas sherry – i 100% appreciate all you said. absolutely don’t want to spread rumor.

per your first question, the web site is: http://www.obamacrimes.com

i think the “secret votes” language is inflammatory. however, murphy posted two dnc rules that it appears the dnc might be considering violating. where murphy got this info, i don’t know. but, if you want more info, i think that’s understandable and you may want to send murphy an e-mail asking for more details.

as for the petition, again, this info is coming from murphy. as for how the media can get in touch with delegates, that’s something i would imagine the media can do quite readily since the media is on the ground in denver and has access to lots of folks at the convention, but who knows? in any case, i don’t feel it’s ever my job when i write a letter to the editor to provide them with contact info, though if i have it, i surely provide it.

again, i think you raise great points and i also believe it is crucial to corroborate “info” before acting on it to make sure it’s credible.

please post more if you find out additional info that either expands on what we know already or which is conflicting.

thanks.

Clinton, Obama working out deal for roll call vote

By NEDRA PICKLER and DEVLIN BARRETT, Associated Press Writer

Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama are working on a deal to give her some votes in the roll call for the Democratic presidential nomination, but quickly end the divided balloting in unanimous consent for Obama.

Democratic officials involved in the negotiations said Monday the idea is that at the start of the state-by-state vote for the presidential nomination Wednesday night, delegates would cast their votes for Clinton or Obama.

But the voting would be cut off after a couple of states, the officials said, perhaps ending with New York, when Clinton herself would call for unanimous backing for Obama from the convention floor. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity while the deal was being finalized.

Clinton said she has told her delegates she will vote for Obama, but she would not instruct them how to vote.

Many of those delegates, she told reporters Monday, will likely vote for him. Others, she said, “feel an obligation to the people who sent them here that they were elected to represent.”

Clinton said part of her job at the convention will be letting those delegates know “that however they decide to vote, we will all be united behind Senator Obama.”

“There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that this is Barack Obama’s convention,” she said, adding that it is only natural for there to be some lingering issues to resolve after a tough primary.

“It would have been the same way if I had won and Barack was here supporting the unity of the party,” she said. “This was a hard-fought campaign and there was a lot of intensity and passion associated with it, in part because of the historic nature of our two candidacies.”

Clinton gives a prime-time convention speech Tuesday night, and the following day will gather her delegates together and publicly release them and urge them to support Obama.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is chairwoman of the convention, acknowledged Monday that Democrats are not yet united following the bitter primary fight, especially among women. She said a “gender gap” in Obama’s favor had emerged “even before the convention, and even before the complete reconciliation that we need,” she said.

“But to stay wallowing in all of this is not productive,” she said. “So we can talk about this forever, or we can talk about how we’re going to take our message to the American people, to women all across America, to see the distinctions” between Obama and Republican candidate John McCain.

FOX just announced there is a deal in the works – ‘Hillary delegates will get to cast their votes for Hillary. Then there will be a voice vote unanimously nominating Obama. That way Hillary delegates get the satisfaction of voting’ – paraphrase.

Some deal! Done deal! Fraud and Sham!

texas sherry – thanks for your investigative efforts. i appreciate it beyond words. it is easy to get swept up in the 11th hour with a barrage of “info” and a feeling of needing to act. but we must act on solid ground. again, i’d encourage you to contact murphy since most of what you seem concerned about (other than the berg issue) goes back to what murphy posted at the top of the thread, at least if i’m understanding you correctly. i look forward to hearing what you learn.

I heard that last night also. The BO/DNC is afraid that there is a chance he would not get nominated otherwise. To quote Ted from Greta -They are stuck on stupid.

Not sure about this since one delegate was just standing outside the radio station talking to Sherry. He said he has had NO intimidation from DNC and will be voting for Hillary.

Texas – One compromise is that when contacting the media, for example, one can say, “it is my impression that the DNC is considering ………” That way you don’t make ahard and fast statement that may 1) be totally true, 2) be partially true, or 3) be a complete rumor. One problem is that we just don’t have access to the kind of info we need. We’re scrambling around trying to become mini experts in convention rules, hearing different reports from different media outlets, dealing with a track record of DNC mischief, and trying to cover all of our bases. Not sure we really could ever truly have a 100% air tight case on the issues you’re concerned about. BUT, if there seems to be enough cause to be concerned, perhaps not unreasonable to contact the press to give a heads up for them to investigate. That’s been the catch-22 all year. There’s been tons of stuff out there on Obama that is maybe a powder keg and maybe bs, but it’s the press who has the budget, the staff, the skilled professionals to go out into the field and verify. They just haven’t done it.

Round and round we go.

Re: Hotels and Howard Dean

A hotel at a guests’ request will not give out any information. With the security concerns and the recent dust up with Nancy Pelosi having to change hotels because a guest had guns at check-in the chances are nil that a hotel will give out Dean info.

The best way to reach him is through an assistant or member of the credentials team.

Dean will do his best to avoid PUMA’s in Denver. The Obama/Dean/Pelosi strategy for unifying the part is to have half of us sit down and shut up….or just leave the party.

It’s all about publicity and Dean is hiding out from any real issues…like he always has.

Good luck Murphy and company.

As the press sees there is a legitimate problem with 1/2 to 1/4 of the party. And it is based on legitimate issues like fraud, party manipulation, media bias and personal distaste for the presumed ONE….it will turn the spotlight more and more our way.

The irony is that the great Uniter never has attempted to unite the party.

John McCain has been reaching out since day 1 to disenfranchised Dems…Obama thinks a slick bio and a little inspirational music will bring Pumas into the fold.

I am trying to read Corsi book Obama Nation (barf). What I just can’t get over is that BO wrote an autobio when he was 34 yrs. before he entered public office. There begins the arrogance! What normal average run of the mill young man believes his life to be so significant that it warrants an Autobiography?? I believe he was writing it to set the stage for bigger and better things~~ like Presidency! Trying to explain away all his unusal, questionable and bizarre youth.

Good point. I emailed Murphy and if I don’t get answers I will do like you say. My biggest concern is because the msm is in the tank for Obama that they will not listen unless we have facts.

washingtonpost.com Convention Update
Post LiveWire
Monday, August 25, 2008 – 1:41 p.m. ET
Clinton Takes on New McCain Ads
DENVER, Colo. — Hillary Clinton struck back today at John McCain’s efforts to woo her supporters in new television ads.

“I’m Hillary Clinton and I do not approve that message,” Clinton said of the ads that suggest Obama passed over the New York senator because he was threatened by his primary rival. Clinton spoke at the New York Democratic Party’s delegation breakfast this morning at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Denver.

Democrats open their national convention today with an ambitious agenda of selling the presidential candidacy of Sen. Barack Obama to a national audience and unifying a party still recovering from a bruising primary.

#578 Anna7000 on 08.25.08 at 2:43 pm

You have a great idea about a few people directing some actions. I’d love to be part of that BUT ONLY if we agree on our goals and come up with some of the best ways to get there.

Studying the Suffragists, I would say continuing to contact Dean is wasting PUMA energy. They only lobbied an individual if there was a real chance such person was going to change their mind. Otherwise, they focused their energy on the press. They got the press to write about the situation; then people got upset; then lots of people from lots of places were lobbying for the change.

I want to work on ways of getting us into the press, and would love to work with any of you with that focus.

PS on press …

I’m not really interested in just “press releases” … but this is what I suggested this morning on the blog — and Murphy liked — but I’m sure they don’t have time there:

Let’s get a group of delegates together who are feeling harassed about their Clinton vote. Let’s have them make a statement this evening at the rally. THEN send a press release out saying delegates will publicly reveal harassment techniques used by Obama team at x time and place. they will be in a group, so less threatening to anyone; and we get this right to the press — but not from US … from the victims of this crime.

elaine – i eavesdropped on your conversation with living grace! i agree dean is a waste of our energy. it’s media attention that’s crucial. that said, i fear we are truly in the 11th hour of the 11th hour, especially when you think of the lag time in composing and then making any piece public (be it via tv or newsprint). i think a lot of this falls to the delegates now. they’re on the ground, in the trenches so to speak, and they have the most direct info as to what’s going on (or at least it’s not as many points removed as when we get it).

i’m grappling with acting and accepting that we’ve reached a milestone, albeit with enormous remaining concerns and frustrations. there may be little more left to do in this round. at some point we will each have to face that cause the convention is happening and it will soon be over and we will be in the next phase. it’s hard to be in this transitional period when we’re still fighting hard in round one, while also facing that the bell is about to ring. just my 2 cents.

My point in that post was to suggest that the delegate chair for each state will control the votes and we should be targeting them with our prowls.

#593 firechief on 08.25.08 at 2:49 pm

Pumas, I haven’t had time to read the entire thread this morning, sorry, but last night I wrote a friend of mine who’s a Hillary delegate and in Denver, asking her if she’d heard about this secret vote Dean wants them to take ahead of time. She wrote back this morning said she had heard NOTHING about that but asked me to find out where that’s coming from.

SO, can somebody tell me where this is coming from? Can you please direct me to whatever article you read, etc. so I can pass it along to her and my state delegation? Thanks!!!!

577 Elaine~~It’s so sad that now, as then, the media is the major obstacle. anything that influences and directs public opinion should serve the population as a whole, unbiased. But that is not the case.
I think jbjd has hit on the answer….bypassing the media and going for the juglar, the states’ elected officials. Those of us who do not vote for Obama may not vote for them, either.
Just my own personal opinion, but if Hillary Clinton votes for Obama, she can pay off her own debts, just as the rest of us do. She bcomes part of the problem, rather than the solution.

IMPORTANT

If the DNC continues to thwart the democratic process and deny a vote, then the convention cannot be paid for by taxpayers money.

The money is for a NOMINATION not a Debutante Ball.

We will have PROOF after this that it happened, and the DNC will have to pay for the convention themselves- and maybe possibly even be cited for breaking a law or two? Jennifer of jbjd?

jbjd writes in response:

HINT

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS A PRIVATE CLUB WHOSE PRIMARY MISSION IS TO PICK THE NAME OF THE CANDIDATE IT WILL SUBMIT TO THE SECRETARIES OF STATE IN EACH OF THE INDIVIDUAL STATES TO GET ONTO THE GENERAL ELECTION BALLOT. BUT THE ELECTIONS – INCLUDING THE PRIMARIES AND CAUCUS – ARE GOVERNED AND PAID FOR BY THE VOTERS IN THESE STATES, UNDER THE AUSPICES OF STATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL AND SECRETARIES OF STATE

okay jbjd… are you saying that we will need to file suits with each individual state that says that they mishandles taxpayer money by claiming to hold primaries and caucauses and a fair nomination and they didn’t follow through? Okay, we can do that. Can any citizen do it or does a lawyer have to file? What are the deadlines? what should we do??

August 25, 2008
Politico has the last word from Hillary

“I will be telling my delegates that I will vote for Barack Obama,” she said. “How they vote is a more personal decision. They want to have their chance to vote for me. That is what traditionally happens … some people are having to make up their minds because there are arguments pulling them both ways.”

Seems Charlie Rangel was just caught lying

Very hard. We’re dealing with:

DNC corruption.

Media disinformation.

Trying to become mini experts in subject matter quite foreign to most of us.

Trolls on the blog.

Trolls calling into the radio show.

Feeling the crunch of being in the 11th hour and not wanting to quit before they ring the bell that the first round is over.

Not wanting to accept certain information that may be credible but that we just don’t want to believe.

Just saw the e-mail from the Dem Party with the photo (or I guess it’s the start of a video you can play) of Obama and Biden. Lord, it was just as Firebelle had noted yesterday. Biden looks like he could be Obama’s father (or grandfather!). He looks pretty serious, dignified, if not also a bit unhealthy. Obama looks like a baby and has a very wierd smirk on his face. Not a good photo, and I don’t think I’m being biased. It was good for a laugh (one of those laugh/cries), though.

I’m driving home from work when I hear that former Pres. Carter will be speaking at the DNC.

With all due respect to the former POTUS,
WHY would I want to listen to him since he is so anti-Israel and anti-Semitic?
And WHY would I want to continue to support
a party that promotes a former POTUS who represents that?

#638 Elaine on 08.25.08 at 3:07 pm

media vs. public officials

hey, let’s dont make an “either-or.” Let’s have two committees; one for each arena. Contacting officials is great to demand immediate action. But press contact shows thousands of people at once what’s happening. We need both.

We DON’T need to investigate anything or expect the press to. We simply report on what we know, what we’ve seen. and we try to get our sources directly to the press, even if it’s on “background.” we’re not investigators; we’re witnesses. Biggest tactic of suffragists — having witnesses to tyrrany who can attest to what they see.

Here’s a combo idea: Some of you write letters to officials, then give us copies so we send a press release that “PUMA has sent this letter to this official demanding action.”

Hi Guys,

Here is the letter that I put together for the news media, let me know what you think. Thanks!

8/25/08

Dear Media Personnel,

I believe the time has come for ALL News media outlets
to start reporting the THE TRUTH, THE FACTS – THE NEWS!

On August 21, 2008 a Federal Law Suit was filed in Pennsylvania
By Attorney Phil Berg. All of the details of this law suit are available
On the following website: obamacrimes.com.

This jist of it is that Barak Obama is being sued for several reason but the
main complaint is that he is NOT ELIGIBLE to run for the Presidency of the
United States of America. He is either NOT a citizen or holds DUAL citizenships
which, as you may know, renders one ineligible to run for President of the United States.

Another main complaint in the law suit is that Barak Obama has indeed lied
onn his bar application when asked what other name he has legally been known by,
his response was “none”. We all know this is NOT the case. He was legally known
as Barry Soetero for quite some time during his residency in Indonesia. This is fraudulent and
unacceptable.

One last complaint to notice is that the Birth Certificate posted on his Web page
is a FAKE. It has been deemed as altered by 3 forensic experts. The original name
on that Birth Certificate is his sister’s name – NOT HIS. This is fraudulent and unacceptable.

Please investigate the matter as there are millions of people already aware of these facts
and it makes your news station look like completely incompetent news reporters.

We will be following up with this matter soon.

Thank you,

PUMA Democrats

#654 4hillinca on 08.25.08 at 3:11 pm

I gotta go run errands. if the trolls are here then they must be bored or worried. We know who they are so just ignore.
Going to go by Obama headquarters wearing my Hillary shirt and leave some PUMA posters. In this small town I will not be very popular but at this point I really don’t care. If Hillary is not the nominee then next week I will wear a McCain shirt and hand out his flyers.

Hi All greetings from Denver. Headquarter is buzzing with energy,excitement, and activity. We wish you all were all able to be here with us physically but we know you are here in spirit, Know that we are all working very hard to make sure that your voices are heard. Everyone is busy blogging,making signs,passing out info, and talking to people. Everyone is getting ready for activities throughout the city. A big group is getting ready to head to Union Station for an Event. We are going to be protesting the intimidation of Delegates and showing our support for Hillary and her Delagates. Everyone is excited and ready for the activities at cheesman park. Will write another update soon.

#657 ladyhawkke on 08.25.08 at 3:12 pm

E-mail from Robert Kunst:
Dear Hillary supporters:

Let me start with today’s news: We have decided that since the ‘Recreate 68′ Loones ofn the Left are supposed to march right behind us and are insanely pro-Palestinian, we have cancelled our Noon march and will instead do our rally this evening for ‘No Division of Jerusalem’ and ‘No Palestinian Terror State’ at 6 P.M. at the 7th and Aurelia Lst Amendment Area near the Pepsi Convention Center.

Below is just one of the many news media who interviewed me this week.
It started when I was at the Ft. Laud. airport with a Billingham, Wash., radio station interview, plus a story in the Rocky Mt. News, and 5 more interviews on Fri. and 31 media on Sat. and yesterday was insane with 90 photos/viedos and 19 interviews.

My signs say: ‘Obama Bad For America and Israel’ and ‘Democrats Not United-Biden Can’t Help’. Eva called from NY and Avi from Vegas to tell me they saw me on CNN.

From AP tv, to Reuters TV (Twice) and wire service, French 2 TV, WPIX 11 in NY, NBC in D.C., Kenyan TV (Twice) and so very many more.

I’ve been standing outside of where the press center security is and very long lines of media all taking pictures besides coming to interview me.

Tomorrow is a march of Hillary supporters I’ll be a part of and on Thurs. our Hillary Now group will also be marching from the Pepsi Center to the Stadium.

Will keep you informed of it all.

Much work buts lots of success. One of the crazies ’stole’ my water, which is the only negative so far, but some look like they want trouble.

Yours Faithfully,

#487 NewOrleansPuma on 08.25.08 at 2:04 pm

Sorry for the delay in response, I was in a meeting.

I’m very familiar with how a switchboard works in a hotel. That’s not the issue.

My point is that it is a completely ineffective exercise to call the hotels that we think he MAY be staying in and overwhelming them with messages. The risk/reward calculus is tipped firmly in the “risk” end.

Look at Post #241, for example, by Ergot4Hillary. It isn’t a hotel operator’s job to suffer a lecture on electoral procedure 400 times a day. And, as I said before, when you think about it there is no way in hell Dean even glances at the message light on the phone. That is not how people in his position communicate on the road. Not at all. It is wasted PUMA energy and time, with the ancillary problem of potentially negative reactions from circumstantially related operators (and all their friends/relatives/co-workers).

You say “If I am a telephone operator in a hote, I am supposed to answer andtransfer calls…” and I agree. But if a guest asks that their information and presence be kept private the operator has a duty to honor that request. I think you would agree that Dean would make such a request, since he’s like that.

You continue: “Can you fathom how many thousands of calls of the kind I have described are answered by tooperators on Mardi Gras day? A hellava lot more than what the Pumas will do. This isn’t harrassment…It is their job.”

I think if you asked a hotel operator in New Orleans they would probably say Mardi Gras is their most miserable time of the year. Why spread the misery to Denver? Just because Dean is a deaf-to-the-voters dickhead doesn’t mean we should do something that is arguably harassment.

I think we, as PUMAs, need to be very thoughtful in this hectic time. Just because the DNC takes the low road doesn’t mean we have to join them there. Acting honorably, thoughtfully and respectfully will serve both to accomplish our immediate goals and to ensure that when history judges our efforts we will be seen as unimpeachably right and just.

#670 doria on 08.25.08 at 3:17 pm

Hannity just said that the O campaign cancelled the Hillary appreciation day march. That is the one organized by Saharra Bledsoe of The Rise.

#671 MsBinMD on 08.25.08 at 3:17 pm

To those of you remaining positive and continuing to “work to the end” I commend you.

Let’s keep our joy knowing we held on and worked our tushes off for something we believe in.

One thing that can never be taken away (unless we let it) is our pride and spirit!!

#672 KENDALBLUE on 08.25.08 at 3:17 pm

I just read the same story. They had to be holding a gun to Hillary’s head to get her to agree to that. If they gave her a *real* roll call, she would get more votes than Junior and they *know* it. So, they have strongarmed her into this “symbolic” sham.

She will live to fight another day. And we have her back.

He told me that we need to contact the press. apdenver@ap.org and tell them what is going on. Also go to the Denver Post newsroom and put it there. We can do a prowl on our own with the media e-mails we already have. Tell them about the secret ballots and intimidation.

Can someone tell me where I can find a website that will allow me to fax over the internet for free?? I’ve not done much in the line of sending faxes online, but this matter warrants one from me!! Please email me at waynecountywv4hillary@yahoo.com . This is the most couurpt that I have ever remembered the DNC being. This is supposed to be the convention for the democratic voters, not the coronation of Obama. The Clintons’ and their supporters deserve to be heard as much as the next candidate!! This is outright discrimination to over half of the democratic voters just to please *61!! God forbid it if he might have some “unrest” at “his” convention!! Last time I checked, it is MY convention TOO!!!

P.S. I was also want to know wth do they think that MO can say to convince me to vote for *61???? There is NOTHING, I MEAN NOTHING, that they can say or do to make me change my mind!! I could have cared less about her during the primary season, I could care even less of what she has to say now!! I already had my first impression of her. NOT A GOOD ONE!!

Sorry for venting today. Things are getting to me today.

Murphy called me, and agreed to put up a PROWL……in the meantime, for whoever sees this posting…here’s what you can do immediately to try to get the customary open floor roll call ballot vote at the convention…

ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND, THE STATE HAS NO AUTHORITY TO INTERVENE IN THE INTERNAL OPERATIONS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY; BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE TO SPEND TAX DOLLARS TO SUPPORT THEIR SHENANIGANS, OR EXTEND THE PRIVILEGE TO GET ONTO STATE GENERAL ELECTION BALLOTS, WHICH PRIVILEGE IS LIMITED TO THE TWO MAJOR POLITICAL PARTIES, WHO PICK THEIR CANDIDATE FOR POTUS AT THEIR “NOMINATING CONVENTION” So, you are concentrating on ‘process’; the DNC is breaking no state laws by operating against their own rules.*

This PROWL has 2 parts: 1) contact state Attorneys General and Secretaries of State; and then 2) contact the press and tell them what you have done because once you have done this, it’s news.

1. Write down a few examples of what you consider to be DNC violations of both the spirit and the intention of the primary/caucus process (such as no i.d. checks and lost sign-in sheets; reference the ‘evidence’ contained in the videos) MAKE SURE YOU WRITE DOWN THE ACTUAL POPULAR VOTE TOTALS OF BO AND HRC; AND THE SKEWED NUMBER OF BO DELEGATES RESULTING FROM CAUCUSES IN STATES WHERE HRC WON PRIMARIES IN THOSE SAME STATES (http://www.lynettelong.com/caucusfraud/
has Dr. Long’s brilliant work on caucuses; even if your state didn’t have a caucus, skewed results in caucuses in other states suppressed the will of the primary voters in your state. States with individual analyses are listed on the right-hand side.)

2. Write down a few examples of what you consider to be DNC violations of their own charter or “Call” (such as crediting BO with delegates based on votes for “Uncommittted”; taking 4 delegates away from HRC to give to BO)

3. Call (or FAX) your AG and S of S. FIRST make clear to your state official that you understand the state cannot tell the DNC how to run its operation. Point out, however, this doesn’t mean the voters have to continue to support Democratic Party shenanigans. Say that you have heard rumors the DNC intends to circumvent its usual customary “past practice” of holding an open roll call vote of delegates on the floor of the convention, for everyone to see, in order to install one candidate as its nominee. Explain, this is the last straw. Point out some other “abuses of process” from your lists.

Make clear that if the DNC imposes a nominee then you will work to change the state laws that allow them to operate in your state. (In fact, according to the state laws I have read so far, if a major political party fails to place on the state ballot a candidate for POTUS in the general election, then that party loses the privilege of automatically getting its candidate on the ballot in the next general election. Check your state election laws.)
And ask these state officials to pass this promise on to state party chairs, and Chairman Dean.

*In OK, MA, CA, KY, GA, TN, AZ, NM, VA, OH, OR, or IN, state legislators enacted a law, which governors signed, requiring pledged delegates to vote for their candidate, unless the candidate releases that obligation. So, in these states, pressuring delegates pledged to vote for HCR, to switch to BO, before the vote at the nominating convention, IS soliciting them to break the law.

Hi,

I am an ardent Clinton supporter and have been extremely active with many grassroots orgs in recent months, including PUMApac. This morning Darragh Murphy, the Executive Director of PUMApac posted some info at the top of the thread that suggested that delegates may not even have the opportunity to present the petition on the convention floor. Many of us want to take action by contacting the press and/or the DNC, but would like a little more information to stand on. Can you provide me with any current information on this matter?

Thanks,
Anna

#718 LivingGrace on 08.25.08 at 3:33 pm

682 Anna7000~~~ My personal feelings are that they not only know, but are way ahead of us. I think they (the Israeli/Jewish groups) exert tremendous power over elections in the USA because their very survival is dependent upon our continued support as an ally.
In my own life, in retrospect, i can see how I have created my own reality today, so I can extrapolate that knowledge and see how today’s events are shaping the realities down the road.
As momentous as events seem today, they are but a microcosm of the greater whole. I am excited in my anticipation of how things will unfold. It’s still far from over.

#723 mijabsnji on 08.25.08 at 3:34 pm

They just said on fox that no matter what Hillary says her delegets will still get roll call and there chance to vote for her. They also said and I love this “If the obama people want to win they will have to defang the pumas first”!

#724 Sylvie4HRC on 08.25.08 at 3:35 pm

If Hillary is not the nominee…

I feel a good thing for PUMA to do would be to cover their bases to discredit the DNC and its’ leaders.

1.
I have read a few times on this blog, someone requesting a list of updated delegates and superdelegates with their contact information.

-Is there an updated list of contact information for all the delegates pledged to Hillary and also for the Superdelegates?

2.
Have a formal letter served to the HeadQuarters of each State Democratic Party requesting the following:

-A list of all pledged delegates and their contact information.
-A list of the pledged status for all the delegates for that state per the primary and/or caucus results.
-A list of the roll call results for each delegate and superdelegates present and voting at the Convention.

3.
If there is no response (15?) days of being served.

4.
A formal letter addressed to the AG of each state telling them to request from the DNC the above stated.
(including the prior unfulfilled request made to the DNC).

This could be useful in the future….

#725 Seattlegirl on 08.25.08 at 3:36 pm

I would guess that Dean and the other big wigs are safely secluded inside a private home but not in a hotel. Send some non threatening person to watch where they disappear to after one of their known appointments.

If it wasn’t stressing enough already here’s another to add to the list.

“Clinton, Obama working out deal for roll call vote

By NEDRA PICKLER and DEVLIN BARRETT
Associated Press Writer

DENVER (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama are working on a deal to give her some votes in the roll call for the Democratic presidential nomination, but quickly end the divided balloting in unanimous consent for Obama.

Democratic officials involved in the negotiations said Monday the idea is that at the start of the state-by-state vote for the presidential nomination Wednesday night, delegates would cast their votes for Clinton or Obama.

But the voting would be cut off after a couple of states, the officials said, perhaps ending with New York, when Clinton herself would call for unanimous backing for Obama from the convention floor. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity while the deal was being finalized………”

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/C/CVN_CLINTON?SITE=AZCAS&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2008-08-25-13-50-38

With all the stuff that the Obama nation is doing to the Clintons…Hillary and Bill now on his speech etc…..I think it is time for the Clintons and Clintonites, true Democrats, to walk out of this fiasco and form
the New Puma Democratic Party
of real democrats and real democracy. It is time to get out of the mud and let the swines wallow in their own slop……because all it’s doing is making them as dirty as the rest of the Obama swine…….it is so sad to see this happening to my former Party of over 30+ years and the Clintons and others of integrity…..

It is just such a sad sad sad day in the history of America to see such corruption going on.

#731 Mac on 08.25.08 at 3:40 pm

Just heard on fox during an interwiew, that Hillary needs to defang her Puma’s. They also believe that there will be a role call on the floor, but once it gets to a certain point Hillary will stop the vote in favor of Obama

#733 BrooklynNY on 08.25.08 at 3:41 pm

I think the DNC is CONVINCED they COULDN’T win if there is a LEGITIMATE floor vote!

That’s why they’re resorting to the Acclaimation Strategy.

After putting their feelers out and taking their “head-counts” and doing their calculations, they KNOW they DON’T have it.

This is an act of desperation on their part.

I mean, how could they possibly spin this one if HE loses in a roll call vote!

ON THE FIRST BALLOT, even!!!!

#734 Anna7000 on 08.25.08 at 3:42 pm

Sylvie – Unfortunately, there’s a lot of reinventing of the wheel. I’ll try to answer what I know and hopefully others can fill in also.

1. I have read a few times on this blog, someone requesting a list of updated delegates and superdelegates with their contact information.

Is there an updated list of contact information for all the delegates pledged to Hillary and also for the Superdelegates?

Pledged delegates are listed by state here, however there is no contact info. Any data base out there only has snail mail addresses, so of no use now:

http://www.demconvention.com/certified-delegates-ec/

Superdelegate contact lists are in various places. The lobbydelegates web site used to be a good place, but the data base isn’t current and when I send an e-mail to all the SD’s last week, I got at least 20%, if not 25%, returned.

2. Have a formal letter served to the HeadQuarters of each State Democratic Party requesting the following:

A list of all pledged delegates and their contact information.
A list of the pledged status for all the delegates for that state per the primary and/or caucus results.
A list of the roll call results for each delegate and superdelegates present and voting at the Convention.

I say, go for it!

3. If there is no response (15?) days of being served.

No sure what you’re asking, but sense I’m not the one to be of help on this one.

4. A formal letter addressed to the AG of each state telling them to request from the DNC the above stated.
(including the prior unfulfilled request made to the DNC).

Not sure how this would impact things; not sure exactly what you’re asking.

I agree that there is a lot of info and a lot of templates we should have in a resource bank, but it seems we don’t. Hopefully, when the convention is over and we regroup, this is something we can all address with Murphy.

Ugh. The number of different reports in the press regarding how the roll call is going to go has my head spinning. I think no matter how the DNC tries to rig this, it’s going to boil down to the pledged delegates holding their ground. It remains to be seen how much conviction they will prove to have.

Meanwhile, the media seems to be the best place to focus our efforts about anything going on that appears newsworthy. (Would that it would be something positive for a change, but of course, newsworthy these days seems to mean more bs from the DNC).

#747 jbjd on 08.25.08 at 3:47 pm

CONCENTRATE

I agree this idea that they will send MO out tonight and she will bring all of us PUMAs in line is just as crazy as thinking we will jump in line if you call us racist or if you threaten post menopausal women with losing their abortion rights. It is idiotic. But this whole operation is being run by men who have a very big blind spot. Clearly these men think that the “first lady” is a highly respected leader among women. BO is a Stepford candidate and MO is the Stepford wife. They think they have presented a modern take on a women’s representative and so women will eat it right up. Well real women figure they are not represented adequately in government and never have been. They do not see the first lady as anything of value to them and certainly not as a replacement for Hillary, the best candidate in the race. These men are busy presenting a picture they think will sell and they are baffled as to why women are not buying into it. It is actually pathetic.

I may have read your post incorrectly. Please correct me if I did so.
While Israel/Jewish organizations may have input, I don’t think they would have as much clout as you suggest re. our elections. I would also like to think that they would not have encouraged former POTUS Carter to speak, given that he is such an anti-Israel, anti-Semite.
The Jewish vote is very split over 0.

Smarmy analysts on fox saying we older voters really do not matter because we are basically racist and devisive, etc. but that the gen xers are all inclusive – no boundaries – don’t care about color, etc. and are really going to vote this year for o becuz they are inspired by what he believes – wish I knew what he believed – anybody who writes an autobiography at 34 sure doesn’t inspire me but then I don’t expect instant gratification like the younger generation who want it now – be careful what you wish for –

And, I strongly doubt he will give a s*** about any voice messages or faxes from any of us. He’s written us off and considers us an annoyance. He’s not about to change policy because we’re yelling at him to do so. Whatever’s going on that’s wrong needs public attention. IMHO.

I mentioned this yesterday but I’ll repeat it. HC’s delegates don’t have to vote for BO even if HC “supports” him. They can still vote for HC or abstain and vote “present.”

As far as the roll call deal between BO and HC. If the roll call vote is stopped after a few states I think HC’s delegates should walk out of the convention hall. This is ridiculous!

#785 Lara08 on 08.25.08 at 4:06 pm

BO doesn’t represent anything as far as racial equality is concerned. BO represents the old male guard who is desperately clinging to their last semblance of power.

This election really begs the question, “Can one buy a presidency?” The only thing BO and his people care about is money and buying delegates and support to continue their corruption with BO in power.

Here is my letter to the media. If anyone wants to use it for themselves you are welcome.

Dear Media Personnel,

On August 21, 2008 a Federal Law Suit was filed in Pennsylvania
By Attorney Phil Berg. All of the details of this law suit are available
On the following website: obamacrimes.com.

Barack Obama is being sued because he is NOT ELIGIBLE to run for the Presidency of the
United States of America. The people need to know the truth about our candidates not sugar coated myths. Please investagate this lawsuit and also investigate why the petition to put Hillary Clinton’s name on the ballet is being blocked. Last but not least please investigate the threats of having secret votes at the convention.

The American people deserve to know the truth about what is going on behind the scenes of the democratic party. Stop broadcasting info from the Obama site about how many people are falling in line and do your own polls. I have friends and relatives from all over the United States and none of them are falling in line. I don’t believe that the numbers that you are reporting are accurate.

.

Thank you,

PUMA Democrat

#795 shtuey on 08.25.08 at 4:10 pm

Hey folks! Blogging to you live from the PUMA den. We just dispatched a throng of PUMAs to Union Station to raise hell. Riverdaughter is in tow and Rebecca Traister from Salon.com will be conducting interviews. Harriet Christian stopped by to say hello and encourage us. Will Bower rolled in. The media has been here doing interviews. Needless to say we are getting our message out in terms that even Nancy Pelosi will be able to understand…okay maybe not…but anyone not high kool-aid anyway.

I spoke to a Clinton delegate from Spokane, Cindy Schwartz. As you know, rumors are flying fast and furious about what is happening with the roll call. There is pressure being placed on HRC delegates to vote for BO on the first ballot. She feels very strongly that she was elected to vote for Hillary, and she intends to do so. She is not alone. Ballots will be distributed at the hotel, but there hasn’t been clear instructions yet as to where and when voting will take place. There will be paper trail…but who will be counting the votes?

Cindy also made it clear that HRC has NOT released her delegates!

DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT IS BEING REPORTED IN THE MEDIA!!! They do not have any idea what’s happening, and to be honest, neither do we. This is a dangerous time for our democracy.

Nothing is particularly clear. Democracy is on life support.

#796 NYCgirl on 08.25.08 at 4:10 pm

ATTENTION DENVER PUMAS

WE HAVE HEARD THAT THIS AFTERNOON’S HILLARY APPRECIATION RALLY HAS BEEN CANCELLED BY THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN. CAN YOU CONFIRM THIS?

WE ARE SCHEDULED TO HAVE A SIMULTANEOUS CANDLELIGHT RALLY HERE IN NYC AND I AM SURE OTHER PUMAS ACROSS THE COUNTRY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE STATUS OF THIS AFTERNOON’S RALLY.

ALSO, IF THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN CANCELLED THIS, IT SHOULD BE WELL-PUBLICIZED BY US!!

Austan Goolsbee, Obamam economist, telling Neil Cavuto that the division in the party has been way overblown. Yeah right.

Now Carly Fiorina saying she’s been warmly welcomed in Denver and by Clinton supporters.

#803 Lara08 on 08.25.08 at 4:13 pm

#775/#786

I think that we should be pretty clear if we support a walk-out, so the delegates know we are behind them. Nobody wants to stand out there alone without support. I totally support a walk-out. It is non-violent and it makes our point- that being that if you won’t factor us in then we will find ways to make you listen.

I don’t have any one model in mind. I guess my thought is that we could have 2 more focused discussions on the 2 broad areas of press and letters fo officials. Then those in each discussion could outline how they want to focus, and perhaps divide up tasks. Maybe one person keeps up with addresses, etc. What do you think?

shtuey et al.

This is not about democracy (note the small “d”); this is only about the civic organization called the Democratic Party. And what is so special about this group? It’s just that by the time we realized how corrupt they are, it was too late to front our own candidate to get onto state ballots for the general election. Oh, well… we will know better next time.

This prowl is about letting the DNC know, if they don’t pull an ‘honest’ roll call out of this convention, we won’t let them pull the wool over our eyes in our states, again.

#809 Hillmania on 08.25.08 at 4:16 pm

The wind from the hurricane like ’spinning’ by various BO & HRC people and pundits is blocking out our voices…but not our votes in November. Thanks for the list of Senators up for re-election. We need to concentrate on getting a change in the House to upset Pelosi hold on the Chamber..start looking at those Repub Senators that look like they have a chance against the Dems(gawd I can’t believe I am plotting to get rid of Dems…) but sometimes you have to take a stand. I only wish it would have been possible for Hillary…if EVER there was a time IS IT. I just cannot imagine a Repub or a Dem MAN not raising HELL over this crooked and stolen race..Never!

#825 LivingGrace on 08.25.08 at 4:21 pm

Washington State law prohibits the Attorney General, deputy attorneys general, and assistant attorneys general from engaging in the private practice of law. This means that they cannot represent private citizens in court either to bring an action on behalf of an individual, or to defend an individual. Any private citizen needing such representation should consult a private attorney.

#826 turndownobama on 08.25.08 at 4:21 pm

I have an idea. If BO gets the nom, then reporters will be after us for our reaction, expecting depression or ‘duh, we’ll think it over’ or talk of McCain. They’ll be trying to write ‘finish’ to our enthusiasm.

Instead, let’s whip out new signs and shout “Obama Resign!” etc.

#836 shtuey on 08.25.08 at 4:25 pm

DENVER, August 24 /Christian Newswire/ — In its first “official event” of the 2008 Democratic Convention, Pentecostal preacher and Bishop Charles E. Blake of the Church of God in Christ, took to the pulpit of an Interfaith Gathering and unequivocally denounced abortion, saying God could not be pleased with millions of lives being ended by elective abortion.

President of the pro-life National Clergy Council, Rev. Rob Schenck, who was present at the event, said, “This is an amazing development. Bishop Blake was crystal clear in condemning abortion. There was nothing subtle about it. He identified himself as a pro-life Democrat and blatantly challenged his party’s historic position on abortion. He also challenged Barack Obama to pursue his promise to reduce abortions and to ensure ‘viable’ alternatives. Just this one moment is a significant turn for the Democratic Party.”

#837 jbjd on 08.25.08 at 4:25 pm

shtuey et al.

No, democracy is not on life support (note the small “d”); the Democratic Party is. Because now we realize that this civic organization uses whatever means it wants to impose the party candidate of its choice to get onto the state ballot. (Sure, the DNC uses the guise of primaries and caucuses’ and a “nominating convention” to figure out who party members want to be the candidate but, the evidence shows, these were rigged, too.) So, what can we do? Well, we can let the party know, we will no longer support the privilege of automatic participation in our state electoral process. No; from now on, we will hold you, DNC, to the same standard as every other political party that wants access to our ballot: gather enough signatures, put up the filing fee, etc. And so that you will know we are serious, we have contacted our state officials to put them on notice: if the DNC cannot even hold an open roll call vote on the floor of the convention then, we don’t want them to have any special privileges in our state.

living grace – thanks for that post. i was just about to post that it seemed quite odd that an ordinary citizen could submit something to the AG’s office and that what they submit could actually trigger any kind of meaningful investigation or outcome regarding election-related issues.

i’m taking a break. i truly feel the primary weight now falls to the delegates. there is just too much information flying around to decipher. if i hear back from anyone at the hrc300delegates e-mail, i’ll post the news.

TEXAS :

public.information@oag.state.tx.us;

We have spent the past two months immersed in data from the 2008 Democratic caucuses. My conclusion is that the Obama campaign willfully and intentionally defrauded the American public by systematically undermining the caucus process.
You must watch this:
http://wewillnotbesilenced2008.com/video/index.htm

I understand the state can not tell the DNC how to run its operation. BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE TO SPEND TAX DOLLARS TO SUPPORT THEIR SHENANIGANS. I have heard rumors the DNC intends to circumvent its usual customary “past practice” of holding an open roll call vote of delegates on the floor of the convention, for everyone to see, in order to install one candidate as its nominee. Make it clear that if the DNC imposes a nominee I will work to change the state laws that allow them to operate in our state.
And I ask that our state officials to pass this promise on to state party chairs, and Chairman Dean.
You can not reward BAD behavior!!!!
And this can not be allowed in November…

Clinton’s Wishes Don’t Spoil PUMA’s Fun

Excerpt: In a flat, windswept part of Denver known, depending who you ask, as LODO, for lower downtown, or RINO, for River North, where the city’s yellow cab company once had their depot and where office and loft space now sit in the middle of parking lots and tall body-dumping grass, the PUMA women, and a smattering of PUMA men, held a premier of the anti-Obama movie, “The Audacity of Democracy.” Under pink and yellow neon lights at the sleek Fuel Café, the group’s organizers offered a respectable spread of sautéed spinach, prosciutto-wrapped dates, seasoned mushrooms, falafel, mushrooms and assorted salads, including one fattened with steak.

The party had a cash bar, but it carried all sorts of top-shelf alcohol served by a handsome wait staff dressed seriously in culinary whites. A large contingent of foreign press, nearly outnumbering the Clinton loyalists, gave the proceedings an even greater air of sophistication.

Hillary saying she will not tell delegates how to vote has 2 meanings – she won’t tell them to vote for her, but she won’t tell them to vote for BO either.

#887 Elaine on 08.25.08 at 4:43 pm

Anna7000
I guess I’m talking about media coverage for the sake of media coverage right now. Establishing that we are here, that we have a different take on things. I don’t have any one point or action in mind. But it’s one way of preparing for a possible Obama nomination; the press will remember us; be more likely to follow us.

#888 Susie1945 on 08.25.08 at 4:43 pm

boy these news stations scrape the bottom of the barrel – next on fox – does hollywood help or hinder – the only who care are those you “just love the reality shows & hang on every word some flake says – just because they made in big in entertainement does not make them smart or even halfway intelligent

#889 4hillinca on 08.25.08 at 4:44 pm

EVERYONE..remember that Hillary is doing what she has to do right now. Let’s wait and see. I have said many times…she said She is in it to win. Let this play out. Hillary is a very smart lady. It is hard for me to watch also but I do believe in the power of prayer and I do believe in miracles. This is a battle worth fighting for and I know Hillary knows we are out there fighting.
Also what did Terri say?

#890 jbjd on 08.25.08 at 4:45 pm

SOME DELEGATES ARE FROM STATES WITH LAWS MANDATING THEY VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE TO WHOM THEY ARE PLEDGED. Therefore, if delegates from these states who are pledged to HRC; walk out of the convention before HRC releases their votes, they are breaking the law.

#891 Middle age female on 08.25.08 at 4:45 pm

I love the fact that the Clinton’s are controlling the media at this convention. The Clinton’s are being talked about more than BO.

And I do believe BO and the DNC are afraid that Hillary would win the nomination if they had a real vote. I wonder if they think the public is that stupid not to realize that.

I am usually of the “wait and see” mindset, but how long do we keep saying that? Hillary needs to do or say something now or else her political aspirations end at the end of the Democratic Convention and we get stuck with another Republican president in 2009. I’m writing this on the blog, not so much because I want to disagree with you but just in case someone from her campaign reads this. I understand your perspective, but I’m getting impatient with this party and HC.

elaine – got it. seems like we’ve been doing that, that they have been acknowledging PUMA’s more and more and that now, with PUMA actually in Denver, one would hope there will be press attention on that as well. i assumed that any grassroots org going to denver sent out press releases regarding their plans and intentions.

#909 jbjd on 08.25.08 at 4:55 pm

Anna 7000, my postings appear to confuse you. Then why aren’t you doing whatever you want? Obviously, if you think by appealing to the same private party who has ignored you up to now, that you can get them to listen, then do that. If you think state laws regulate a floor vote at the convention of the Democratic Party then, by all means, contact your state officials and demand a floor vote. If you think the press will find what you have to say is ‘news,’ by all means, write another letter to the press.

To answer your specific question, Professor Li said if BO is selected as the party’s nominee through a process that violates DNC rules, she will not vote for him. And that if HRC is selected through a similarly faulty process, she will not vote for her. There. How is that for brilliance? (But when I pointed out on her blog that GA is a binding vote state, she ignored me. I proceeded with my work, anyway, and with our own Georgians, notified the GA AG and S of S, members of the DNC are soliciting your HRC delegates to vote for BO, meaning they are trying to get them to break the law. And the GA AG wrote to the delegates to remind them, under GA law, they have to vote for their candidate. But I could not even get this project posted as a prowl on this site.)

Any other questions?

#910 Oneof18million cracks... on 08.25.08 at 4:56 pm

#752 ladyhawkke on 08.25.08 at 3:52 pm I just called the Loew’s Hotel in Denver and asked for Coward Dean, they are telling me he is not listed in their computer. Didn’t someone, or more than one call there and got connected to his room? Is now in hiding again?
__________________________________
YES, When Murphy was asking for help
“If any Puma out there knows where Howard Dean is staying in Denver, please let me know?

Until then, please call The Sheraton Hotel and ask for Howard Dean.

1-303-757-3341.”
_____________________________

I called this number myself. The recetionist said he was not registered there. She was very polite and did a system wide search on her compter. She said he was not in it and I could try the other hotels. She suggested the Loew’s and gave me the number. I called and asked for Howard Dean’s room and the receptionist put me directly through. I got his voice mail and I left a message.

Since I am hearing people have called and they have been told there is a Howard but not sure its the right one. Later people are being told he is not at the hotel.

So its possible they have gotten swamped and are now saying he is not at there hotel. Who knows? I just know I reached his voice mail in the early morning and passed the info on to Murphy.

#911 LilyMaid on 08.25.08 at 4:56 pm

OMG…I have been trying to catch up. It seems that the roll call will be a sham? Thousands of people worked so hard to ensure a roll call and we were duped into thinking a roll call would be held. Now it was just a ruse to placate us a little? A partial roll call, then an acclamation? Shame on the DNC. More underhanded trickery.

#912 Elaine on 08.25.08 at 4:57 pm

Anna 7000 where did Heidi Li speak? I’ll try to find it.

Ok, in terms of dividing tasks: I’m good at research. I’m already working on documenting the publicity PUMAs are getting. I can coordinate collecting media clips and articles. Perhaps others would like to help with this?

Then: maybe someone to be the Keeper of the Addresses … esp, snail mail and phone –. that we keep losing track of.

Someone to focus on getting things to tv and cable [email]

someone to focus on getting things to newspapers [email]

so … Committee on Media

1. Tracking down and saving what is being reported about us. [Elaine, and .............]

2. Keeping all our collected [snail mail, phone, and individual email ]contacts together.

3. Get information to tv and cables [keeping list of these emails]

4. Get info. to newspapers [keeping track of these emails]

??? what else?

So if someone on the letter committee writes to an official then: #3 and 4 can get the news out that it was written.

#2 will have snail mail addresses for any others we want to inform.

#1 will check on what actually gets published about this, and stores it in our “archives.”

what do you think?

880 john on 08.25.08 at 4:42 pm Clinton’s Wishes Don’t Spoil PUMA’s Fun

Excerpt: In a flat, windswept part of Denver known, depending who you ask, as LODO, for lower downtown, or RINO, for River North, where the city’s yellow cab company once had their depot and where office and loft space now sit in the middle of parking lots and tall body-dumping grass, the PUMA women, and a smattering of PUMA men, held a premier of the anti-Obama movie, “The Audacity of Democracy.” Under pink and yellow neon lights at the sleek Fuel Café, the group’s organizers offered a respectable spread of sautéed spinach, prosciutto-wrapped dates, seasoned mushrooms, falafel, mushrooms and assorted salads, including one fattened with steak.

The party had a cash bar, but it carried all sorts of top-shelf alcohol served by a handsome wait staff dressed seriously in culinary whites. A large contingent of foreign press, nearly outnumbering the Clinton loyalists, gave the proceedings an even greater air of sophistication.

#872 Anna7007…I caught some of what Heidi Li said. She did not get rattled with some of the snide comments. She said she would support a Democratic nominee if one was legitimately selected, but she did not expect this to happen. She would not even support Clinton if it were rigged for Hillary to win. When Heid was asked if she would vote for McCain, she said she could not do that. If the Democratic nominee was not legitimately elected, she would be a “conscientious objector”.

We have fought hard and long but we are making our voices heard. So I just pray that justice comes of this. I also have to remind myself that this is something Hillary wants also so she must have a plan. She said she would stand up for us as long as we stood up for her so……..miracles do happen! It is tough waiting and the problem is we listen to the media and they are biased. Just hang in there. Hillary is worth it and I think she is fighting hard now even though it does not appear that way from what we see.

Here is a portion of an email I just received.

________________________________________________
I will be unable to call the western AGs offices until late this afternoon. I have called all of the others, but am waiting for clarification and information from practically all of them. Most of them referred me to another department, like the Board of Elections or their Secretary of State’s office. Few almost none, knew initially what I was talking about and tried referring me to the State Democratic party. After a bit more explantion they realized.
_____________________________________________

This person was speaking to states with vote binding laws; and some of these states didn’t even realize this fact! And some of these people referred her to the Democratic Party! This is why you need to make clear to your state officials, you are not asking them to get involved in party politics. You are complaining that this private clique has no business operating with the support of your state. And for those of you in vote-binding states, remember, these laws were proposed, drafted, and passed by your representatives in these states, at your behest. And you have the power to change them.

Hi,

I just got my second fundraising letter from BO via the DNC. I put it back in the mailbox, unopened with “refused. pls return to sender” written on front. We do not have to accept any mail and the sender will lose the postage.
I also called the DNC and told them to remove my name from all of their mailing lists. He wanted me to tell him the exact name on the letter so I told him what I had done with it. He was forced to remove my entire address! I did explain to the gentleman that I would never give money to BO and I asked if they had made Hillary give them my contact info. I told him that I had already communicated my desire for no contact to BO’s campaign. He ducked my question, something about “we have many sources…” I told them I was not a democrat and I dislike letterrs that began “Dear Fellow Democrat” as I do not and will not support their party or Barack Obama.

Howard Dean has just opened the Democratic Convention.
He has been hiding all day. We have been duped by the DNC. They are saying the pledge of allegiance to the USofAmerica. Wonder if BO is watching and pledging along with them!
This is so disappointing to hear that we won’t even have a roll call vote.
Just wanted to let everyone know that I received a return receipt from the letter I had notarized with re: to Donna Brazile, directed to the credentials committee.
The person that signed my return receipt was D. Marshall.
It was dated August 19th.

Clinton said she has told her delegates she will vote for Obama, but she would not instruct them how to vote. Many of those delegates, she told reporters Monday, will probably vote for him. Others, she said, “feel an obligation to the people who sent them here that they were elected to represent.”
That is her subtle way of saying they SHOULD VOTE FOR HER. The delegates need to get her message, which is obviously not so overt because it can’t be. Come on, delegates, SMARTEN UP!!!! Spread the word in Denver!!!

Barbara Boxer’s arguments against John McCain are so weak on MSNBC, I think she is probably voting for him.

#1010 kat in your hat on 08.25.08 at 5:24 pm

People on TV keep talking about how Hillary needs to unite the party, and it’s her responsibility, and her speech is a TEST.

This really bothers me. It’s still blaming Hillary.

Hillary is not Obama’s MOTHER.

It is HIS role to “unite” the party–he is the ONE who said he would get our votes.

He’s the ONE who wants the job, and WE are the ones who are essentially HIRING.

Hillary is not Obama’s MOTHER.

#1001 mijabsnji That would make the convention worth watching if one of the delegates had the guts to do it. Try to find one that is pissed off enough and maybe they will yell something out. Howard Stern get’s his crazy followers to yell things then why can’t a delegate do the same thing.

#1015 BigCatLover on 08.25.08 at 5:26 pm

How Barbara Boxer can sit there and ignore the Hillary supporters behind her is beyond me and act like they are not real. By the way, Barbara got her hair styled for the convention.

Ms. Brazile,
I really need to speak to Mr Dean regarding a mutual concern ( our country), Do you know where I might locate him? I was told you might know. I need to speak to him now .
Someone said you might not be forthcoming, however being a lifelong democrat I can’t believe that.

Lanny Davis was on earlier and talked about how he was very disappointed that Hillary wasn’t asked to be VP. He could not understand BO’s logic!! Although he said he admired McCain he could not vote for him because of his difference on the issues. I could hear in his voice though that he was not sure!! We need to read between the lines!

Letters faxed to Coward Dean….is he still hiding from us?

They’re all freaking out.

Pelosi looks like she’s got to be on mediacation these days. Whenever I see her on the TV the smoke coming out of the top of her head is almost visible. Thought she was going to implode on live TV when Hillary’s name was mentioned in an interview. You could almost taste her controlled, raging hatred of HRC.

Re: #948 jbjd

I think I understood your point. I sent these questions to the TX Attorney General’s office (greg.abbott@oag.state.tx.us):

“Dear Mr. Abbott:
Is it the case that presidential primary elections are regulated by the state? If this is the case, are apportioned delegates legally bound to cast a ballot for the presidential candidate chosen by the electorate at their respective party conventions? For example, if voters in district #25 voted for Hillary Clinton in the primary, can delegates (chosen to represent these voters) then vote for another candidate at the Democratic Convention thus misrepresenting the wishes of the voters? Would that be legal according to state laws?”

We’ll see what they say. -Lara08

Dear Ms. Brazille,

Would you please refrain from being “nasty” to my PUMA friends. You really needn’t email any of us back if you’re going to show contempt for our cause or our dignity. All that we were trying to do this time in contacting you was to find out where Mr. Howard Dean is today. We need to talk. It’s about the treatment of delegates.

Such manner of expression as “cowardly ass” or “shut your nasty trap” is indicative of one’s education. I know you have one, so please use it when communicating with us. Otherwise, just ignore us and don’t email a PUMA anymore, okay? Thank you, desired friend.

Respectfully,

Kent — proud member of the PUMA-PAC

#1059 jbjd on 08.25.08 at 5:49 pm

TX is not a vote binding state. So, TX delegates are only bound to the DNC rule that says, delegates have to vote using their “good conscience.” But TX had rampant fraud; so the delegates awarded to BO as the result of TX caucuses are tainted. And this skews the whole caucus/primary process, throughout the country. So, why does TX allow the Democratic Party a place on its ballot? Why isn’t the Green Party automatically put on the ballot, and why isn’t its candidate automatically entitled to be on the general election ballot? What makes the Democratic Party so special, when they act like this? Why don’t they have to go around and get the thousands of signatures required by any other candidate who wants to run for POTUS, to get on the ballot?

What I am proposing has nothing to do with court. (I told you days ago, that ‘lawsuit’ questioning BO’s eligibility to be POTUS would be thrown out before the court even examines the substance of the claim; I said, 3 words: standing, jurisdiction, and ripeness.)

I am asking you voters to notify your state elected officials, who belong to both parties, that you will work to revoke the special status to this political party called “Democratic Party” in your state if they cannot even hold an open honest vote at their nominating convention, let alone conduct themselves fairly in the state’s primary/caucus process.

#1084 jbjd on 08.25.08 at 6:00 pm

Lara08, yes, but remember, state officials will not get involved in internal party politics. This would be illegal (1st amendment rights of speech and assembly). However, this does not mean that state law has to favor one political party over another, viz a viz getting its candidates on the ballots. But changing the law takes time; making a phone call warning these officials what will happen is much quicker.

“Barack Obama’s vice-presidential pick complicates the Democratic hopeful’s efforts to distance himself from a far-reaching Chicago patronage scandal.

Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., brings to Obama’s presidential campaign assets like foreign policy experience and a knowledge of Washington. But he also brings another tie to the Antoin “Tony” Rezko scandal, a mess that has already caused sizeable headaches for the Obama campaign”

….. there is a lot more…

#1086 dmrr on 08.25.08 at 6:00 pm

Why is it up to the Obama camp to decide on how the the roll call vote should proceed?…so he gets to make the rules now…UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#1087 BrooklynNY on 08.25.08 at 6:01 pm

I just heard (think it was Howard Wolfson) who just said to Bill Hemmer it isn’t yet decided exactly what’s going to happen on the roll call vote. There IS going to be a roll call vote, but how it proceeds doesn’t seem to be that clear. He said, Obama and Clinton people are still trying to work out the details.

HA. Yeah. To me, that means Hillary ISN’T ready to go along with the Proclamation of Acclamation!

Such manner of expression as “cowardly ass” or “shut your nasty trap” is indicative of one’s education.

But it is also indicative of one’s “class” and that she surely doesn’t possess!

But I love your letter. Made me laugh and thats not easy today.

#1089 BigCatLover on 08.25.08 at 6:02 pm

I think we need to flood Hillary campaign email insisting that she hold a bona fide roll call vote. We won’t be happy with anything less.

She is doing everthing she has to can you just guess what the media would do to her if she didn’t she will come back in four years and win but not if she looks like a sore loser even though they stole this race from her not fair but how it is we have to keep him out so we can vote her in in 2012 . Remember Bill said he would have alot to say after Jan.5th

#1092 virginia.puma on 08.25.08 at 6:03 pm

What we need to remember is that this fight needs to go on long after November. No matter what happens, we have alot to do before the November vote, and alot afterwards to reclaim our party. We will not go away!!!!!! We will be
chomping at your behinds daily until 2012. We willnot go away. We will not be silent. We will do whhatever we have to do to reclaim our party, or form a new one.

Yes, I’m preparing for the next election. I’ve been in touch with the Nader/Gonzalez campaign about this. I believe third party presidential candidates in TX need 68,000 petition names of voters who did not vote in a presidential primary to get their names on the ballot. That’s confusing info, but long story short there’s much work to be done in this area. The 2008 election still matters to me- so I haven’t focused on that yet.

Chris Matthews does not like Hillary Clinton…if you may recall he is the one who said on NATIONAL TV that she wouldn’t have become a senator if her husband hadn’t cheated on her…I believe he was forced to apologize later…He prefers the tingling feeling he gets from Obama up his leg…

#1097 fineartistinoil on 08.25.08 at 6:05 pm

This may be far fetched, but I am going to put it out there for a thought anyway. I was just watching Fox and they were discussing the outcome should McCain choose a Democratic VP. Now that comment really made me think! Why has McCain waited so long to release his VP pick, and what if it becomes Hillary!!???

#1098 Anna7000 on 08.25.08 at 6:07 pm

bobram – your post cracked me up! gotta’ wonder though, huh?

#1099 jbjd on 08.25.08 at 6:07 pm

State election laws, your laws, state that the candidate chosen at the nominating convention of the major political parties, automatically is allowed onto the ballot for the general election (by presenting ballot application papers through the state party chair).

YOU WANT TO GET PEOPLE’S ATTENTION? SAY THAT GIVEN THE TACTICS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY – VIOLATING THEIR OWN RULES; MISOGYNY; NO FLOOR VOTE AT THE CONVENTION – YOU WILL FIGHT TO KEEP THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OFF THE BALLOT BUT LEAVE THE REPUBLICANS ON! And the Democrats in your state can use the other process to get on the ballot, that all other interested parties, like the Green Party, or the Socialist Party, have to use.

#1100 NP4HilARee on 08.25.08 at 6:07 pm

That has been a rumor I have heard as well…that the McCain folks were polling the impact of a pro-choice candidate not because they want Tom Ridge, but because they want Hillary

#1102 virginia.puma on 08.25.08 at 6:08 pm

That would be an automatic win for McCain…McCain and Hillary!!!

#1107 Anna7000 on 08.25.08 at 6:11 pm

caught 5 min of B. Boxer on tv and then shut it off. (reminded me of why i don’t watch tv). a couple of points she made made me laugh:

1. she noted that this grassroots movement isn’t very big and that the media is making too much of it, commenting that she counted the number of clinton supporters outside as around 40, then added there were around 50 obama supporters, and around 20 mccain supporters. and while i realize this is hardly scientific, if she was using the number of folks outside as an example of this movement being small, me thinks her example contradicted her point!

2. she spoke about how mc cain is trying to woo clinton supporters. well, yes he is. he’d be an idiot not to. but then there’s the little detail of the fact that obama is trying to woo republicans by reaching out to evangelicals and embracing bush’s faith based initiative, etc. it’s freaking politics. they all partake in trying to throw out as wide a net as possible to capture the broadest base they can so they can win. what mc cain is doing is nothing new and nothing the dems aren’t doing as well.

#1108 jane-pa on 08.25.08 at 6:11 pm

#1069 jbjd ,

I have been reading your posts and I think you are getting ahead of our goals. We are still working to get Hillary nominated at the convention. After the convention is over then we will set new goals. Perhaps starting a new party or renewing the existing democratic party. That has not been decided yet which path we will take. Some Pumas will be going over to John McCain and start supporting him. I think that is why you are confusing some.

We MUST stop giving them fodder to label US as racist. Even though we know who started all that, we HAVE to get the message out that he is NOT QUALIFIED or experienced enough to lead this country. Their message of chang that appeals so much to the youth is falling on ears of people who haven’t experienced enough of adul t life to know what change even means. And those of us who are older know that pretty words never changed anything.
No matter how much we may disapprove of MO, me especially, we have to ignore her and concentrate on the things that matter.
It has been addressed that we have to have the appearance of concerned, committed, conscience voters in order to be respected and heard. And joined in this fight to save our country. I had to listen and change my attitude and I hope others can do the same.

#1116 jbjd on 08.25.08 at 6:14 pm

HRC is fabulous. Read between the lines.

She just mentioned those commercials from JMc are trying to “divide us.” And she said she does not approve of those commercials. But people have been commenting for 2 days now, ever since these came out, that she hasn’t asked JMc to remove them. If she wanted to ask that these JMc commercials stop, she could have done so before now, at the convention. Never forget, if she is not the party nominee then, there is no way she can appear on the state ballots as a candidate for POTUS in the general election (unless JMc picks her as his VP). So if she wants to get onto the ballot for the general election, she has to be a good girl to her oppressors, now.

#1117 goingtoMcVote on 08.25.08 at 6:14 pm

I see no chance of McCain picking Hillary as VP. It would be true bi-partisan unity. We know there isn’t going to be any unity anywhere in this election.

I am asking you voters to notify your state elected officials, who belong to both parties, that you will work to revoke the special status to this political party called “Democratic Party” in your state if they cannot even hold an open honest vote at their nominating convention, let alone conduct themselves fairly in the state’s primary/caucus process.

I only pray and hope that the american people are not going to be fooled and hoodwinked into voting for this fraud and phony charlatan obama..

#1121 TEXS4HILLARY on 08.25.08 at 6:18 pm

You know I have been thinking about this all day and IF Hillary truly STANDS behind OBAMA then she is damaging her own political career and she isn’t the fighter I thought she was. If she truly loves this country and gives a rats turd about what happens to it then she would bust out fighting. She could change to Independent like the other presidential candidates did in the past. WHY she is sucking up to a NON US CITIZEN who is not fit to be president? If she truly believed he is not right and fought so hard during the primaries to prove why isn’t she fighting now? I just didn’t thinks she would coward down to him. After all this and not fighting for what is right she ruins any chance to be elected in 2012 because of her sucking up to him and not fighting back. I am disappointed AND I WILL BE VOTING FOR MCCAIN! they will never change my mind on that I don’t care what they do NEVER WILL UNITE WITH OBAMA!!! HE IS A LOSER!!! HE IS TROUBLE!!! HE IS LYING TO EVERYONE TO GET THEIR VOTE!!! You can’t fix stupid

#1122 BrooklynNY on 08.25.08 at 6:19 pm

It’s nauseating to watch these losers speaking at the Convention!

They’re so completely schizophrenic. Idiot on now is saying Democrats reject wiretapping, etc.

#1134 jbjd on 08.25.08 at 6:22 pm

texassherry and others

I want HRC to be the DParty nominee for President so that she will get onto the general election ballot in each state in time for the election in November. And I believe HRC has enough votes to be nominated; but only if there is a traditional open vote on the floor. My goals is to get this vote on the floor. So, how to achieve my goal. Keep begging the Party thwarting my goal to change their minds? No; that would be stupid. Tell the states to order the DNC to hold this vote? No; this would be stupid, too. The states have no authority to tell the DNC, which is a non-governmental civic organization, what to do. Hmmm… Wait, I have it! I can get word to the DNC, via someone they will listen to, like the AG or the S of S, that I will strip Party candidates of their special status in the electoral process in my state if they don’t hold a floor vote!

Questions?

okay, jbjd I know you are frustrated, but just because you have given us all the information doesn’t mean we have your quick deductive reasoning to be able to make good use of it!

Bear with me, I am posting the letter I have composed to the RI AG. I figure I have made some errors in it.

WOULD YOU PLEASE help me to fix what needs to be fixed in it, and I will get it out to the AG and the SofS of RI in the AM.

Dear Attorney General Patrick Lynch,

I am writing to you to protest the state of Rhode Island allowing the Democratic pary access to our state election ballots.

We spend taxpayer money for elections that are fair and honest, and support the will of the people. The DNC has shown through it’s nomination of a candidate by fiat, that they are not abiding by our state’s principles. Barack Obama was given the nomination without reaching the proper number of delegates needed to secure it. The super delegates do not officially vote until the convention. Now we see that the super delegates will not be allowed to vote at all.

Furthermore, there is widespread reports and investigations of fraudulent voting irregularities in several states. In the Texas caucuses there was massive voter fraud and voter intimidation. In Oregon there were dead people voting. In Los Angeles, gang members were hired to walk neighborhoods and threaten people to vote for Obama. In some southern states there are instances being investigated of votes being sold for $20. , or in some cases, for drugs. These problems affect the results of voting in all states, Rhode Island included. (I.e. see website http://www.lynettelong.com/caucusfraud/meals_prizes/ )

I protest the spending of our state tax dollars to allow a private club such as the DNC to pick their own candidate by their own rules and run it on our state ballots. I request that the DNC not be allowed access to our state ballots without the requisite fees and forms that the other political parties such as the Green Party or the Libertarian Party must pay, unless they return to holding fair elections based upon votes of citizens.

#1145 heysandy on 08.25.08 at 6:25 pm

Chris Matthews thinks we’re insane. Was interviewing Nobama supporters and Clinton supporters somewhere outside the convention hall.

Referring to Clinton supporters, he said the following: “We’re all adults here (standing infront of an Obo supporter) and can recognize insanity when it’s in the situation.”

All these compliments and support are really gonna bring us around, right?!

#1146 jbjd on 08.25.08 at 6:25 pm

#474 Onein18millioncracks I have personally spoken to Phil Berg and yes, the media must know about it. But I am at a loss to understand why this is going to take so long. The suit was filed in Federal Ct., Eastern District of Pa, but the defendants were not served. The defendants must be served in DC. I called the FEC today and they would not tell me much about the suit except that I should go to FEC.gov and try to look up the case. Also, I found out that was another lawsuit called Realtruth About Obama vs REC. This was filed in the E. district of Va. You would have to go to Va’s Federal Court to look that one up. The point I’m making is why didn’t he file the suit, fed ex a certified copy of the Complaint to the process server who would be waiting in DC to serve it immediately. He told me that it will be at least 2 weeks before the papers are served. I believe he faxed the defendants a copy of the complaint. I do think the media knows about this but will not talk it up unless something more comes out.

lisa, beautiful. 2 points: put in a subject line, something like this

Subject: Objections to Special Status Granted to the Democratic Party on RI State Ballots

Then, begin by acknowledging you understand state officials cannot intervene in the internal operations of any political party. Make clear this is not what you are asking them to do. Rather, you are putting them on notice, if the DNC refuses to hold a bona fide floor vote on the nomination, you will work diligently to revoke the special status your state laws grant to candidates from the Democratic Party to get onto the ballot.

End by suggesting this official might get word to the DNC because your party is not hearing you.

#1164 storytellers on 08.25.08 at 6:32 pm

good evening pumas
any good news???
if he does not meet the POTUS requirements
the circus at the convention is very sick

#1165 texassherry on 08.25.08 at 6:33 pm

#1125 jbjd ,

You are saying that the attorney general and the secretary of state can force them to a floor vote at the convention right? How are we going to get in touch with them this late in the game? They are probably already in Denver to see the circus act. If not then they probably cannot respond to this that quickly can they? I can see something working after the convention to keep him off of the ballot in individual states but that doesn’t help Hillary. If Hillary isn’t going to sign the petition then it doesn’t look good for her either.
I am really starting to believe that she has given up for this time. She has no support from the DNC. All we can really do now I think is try to ruin Obama’s coronation and show the country that we are not united. IMHO

#1166 kids1627 on 08.25.08 at 6:33 pm

She will run again This is just what happened between Kennedy and Carter the party does not care they have chosen Obama and so it will be it is all about new voters and coatails it is getting harder and harder for them old pol to win thier seats .IMO

Gods, they (the media) have painted the Clintons into a corner that if they attempt to come out of they’re going to tear them apart. We want HRC for 2012…we know BO won’t win this year. If the media finds fault with HRC now and lay blame at their feet then the message America will receive is that it is all their fault. That would greatly hurt the chance for HRC President in 2012.
Therefor, please, remember. The Clintons are not stupid people, yet, they only have so many options. I am not so selfish to demand someone sabotage thier life’s career to cater to my own personal feelings.

They’re just warming up. I can guarantee that they will be crying in November when he loses that it is all Sen Clinton’s fault because she did not drop out of the primaries soon enough and just let him skate his way into the nomination. Never mind that she was kicking his arse! It is infuriating, but I can guarantee that is what will happen come November, and that is why she has to do what she has to do right now with as much gusto as humanly possible. She’s a strong, strong woman.

#1180 caribbeanpuma on 08.25.08 at 6:38 pm

This is Hillary’s time. If she is not nominated now,she can forget about 2012.
If she claims her right to represent the people that voted for her ,and fights for their rights,she will go in History as a great woman.If on the contrary she continues with this farce, she will go down as a coward.And that would be humiliating to all the woman in the world.

#1181 stoney42 on 08.25.08 at 6:38 pm

#1182 lionness on 08.25.08 at 6:38 pm

When will the media and the DNC get it? How many times have middle-aged women been passed over for promotions only to have to train some younger male with less experience? How can any American in good conscience vote for a person who served 136 days in the Senate before launching a campaign for President. This is not change that we can believe in.

#1184 Mac on 08.25.08 at 6:39 pm

I applaud all of you for your sincere devotion to Hillary. I’m sure she is mad as hell that she has to put on the face that she and Bill are in complete support of BO. All of us know that is not the case. I’m sure if it was just Hillary she would leave the Democratic Party in the dust. But her husband is an x-president and think what that would do to his reputation.
I was thinking today about the speech that Bill will be giving and how they forced him to speak on foreign relations, when he wanted to speak on the economy. I am curious if they dictated what Senator Kennedy would say? After all, he’s just a long time senator, but Bill was an outstanding president. So sad, the Clintons have done so much for this country.

#1188 jbjd on 08.25.08 at 6:41 pm

Senator Joseph Lieberman lost the D primary in CT; so, he ran as an Independent, and won. But he had enough time between the primary and the deadline to get onto the ballot in the election. HRC can only get onto the ballot in this general election as a D. But in 2012, she can run under any party banner she wants. As long as she secures the requisite signatures and collects enough money, under state election rules, overseen by the S’s of State.

#1189 Hillgirl on 08.25.08 at 6:41 pm

A big growl out to all PUMAS! Hey, I have been following the events as best I can, but I have a question. Perhaps someone could answer it. Doesn’t it appear pretty dirty that the RBC ruled one way at the previous meeting (5/31) and now reverses their ruling at a different time? To me this looks like blatant manipulation for the advantage of one candidate. Does this seem down right crooked to anyone else? How come it isn’t being challenged? I think I will write to Lou Dobbs. Murphy et al, anything being challenged about this in Denver?

To a lot of us, this straightforward, to her it isn’t – I’m with her on this. Whatever Hillary decides, she have my full support, but she and I part way when it comes to NObama, I will NEVER vote for him, his character is questionable, the people he is associated with for a number of years is very alarming to me, I do not trust him. As the old saying goes, “tell me who are your friends and I’ll tell you who you are.”

Thanks.

In this historic election year, when the press has been interested, it has expressed confusion regarding why some Clinton supporters won’t get behind Obama and support the Democratic Party. Many commentators, news analysts, op-ed journalists and others have stated that it seems unfathomable that someone who supports Clinton’s values and platform would not support Obama and the Democratic Party. What they fail to realize, however, is that the issue goes far beyond candidate preference. The core of the issue lies in how the candidate came to be the Democratic Party’s nominee in the first place.

It is oft heard in the press and in private conversations, that Obama won fair and square and Clinton’s supporters need to “get over it”. However, Obama did not win fair and square, and herein lies the rub and is central to what so many of us take issue with.

· The media and the DNC were already calling for Senator Clinton to drop out of the race after Senator Obama won the Iowa caucus.

· The very nature of a caucus system is undemocratic and disenfranchises voters.

· Voter fraud and intimidation was rampant in many states, particularly caucus states. Clinton supporters were not infrequently accosted, some were even physically attacked. Sign in sheets were stolen, rules were not followed, and votes from people who did not live in the county or who were not living at all were registered, among other offenses, all to the benefit of Senator Obama.

· The DNC “punished” Florida and Michigan, depriving millions of voters from having their votes fully and honestly represented.

· Curiously, the DNC did not “punish” other states that voted prior to when they were supposed to according to prearranged rules. These states, such as South Carolina, were states favorable to Senator Obama.

· The media did not vet Senator Obama, and instead gave him a free pass on numerous very important issues that deserved scrutiny. Conversely, the media persistently painted Senator Clinton in a negative light.

· The DNC did not defend Senator Clinton when the media bombarded the American public with relentlessly biased coverage, coverage that often treated Senator Clinton in a disrespectful way due to her gender.

· Although Senator Clinton ultimately won more primaries than any candidate in history and won the popular vote, the DNC continued to press her to withdraw from the race throughout the primary season. In so doing, they sent the message that they already had the candidate in mind who they wanted to be their nominee, irrespective of the fact that millions and millions of Democrats continued to go to the polls to cast their vote for Senator Clinton.

· In the days leading up to the Democratic convention, the DNC sent various messages to discourage an honest roll call vote, ranging from the prospect of not having Senator Clinton’s name placed in nomination at all, to states discouraging pledged delegates from collecting signatures to ensure Senator Clinton’s name be placed in nomination, to “negotiations” to decide whether Senator Clinton’s name should be placed in nomination. Coming on the heels of that, were issues surrounding whether there would be a true, honest and open roll call vote on the convention floor.

This is what many of us are railing against. We cannot support a candidate or a party that selects a candidate in the face of so many egregious acts. It goes against the very fabric of our democracy.

This is why in past years many of us who had our preferred candidate lose the nomination but who still voted for the Democratic ticket cannot do so this year. Because this is about far more than the fact that our candidate “lost”. This is about the very nature of how Barack Obama came to be the nominee. The journey has been anything but fair and square, honest and open.

For many of us who are Democrats, it is unacceptable for our party to operate in this way. We will not tolerate it. It will not stand.

The fact that Barack Obama is so inexperienced and has a history of affiliating himself with highly questionable characters is bad enough. The fact that the Democratic Party selected him as they have and exhibited a tolerance for misogyny and fraud is even worse.

Yes, we do protest and will do so for as long as we see fit. This is America, after all, and we hold our right to dissent near and dear.

If we keep the democratic candidates from being on the ballot then wouldn’t that affect the down party democrats too? I think that there are some good democrats that we would like to keep in the congress and senate aren’t there?

#1204 jbjd on 08.25.08 at 6:50 pm

mcr…from the rank and file, yes… I am doing the best I can do…this is not my blog…and if I hadn’t been so busy trying to win the nomination for HRC, I would have had time to set up my own blog… and all this information I have been posting would be easily accessible…

But you are still a citizen of your state. Call your elected officials and tell them you don’t completely understand the process but you know that the DNC is a private club that gets special treatment in your state to get onto the ballot, etc.; and that if they cannot even hold a floor vote at the convention, you are going to actively campaign to strip Party and the Party candidates of any special status to get onto the ballot in your state.

#1205 Hillgirl on 08.25.08 at 6:51 pm

Just sent this to Lou Dobbs.
“Dear Lou, Since you continue to be a champion of the people I am sending this question to you. On May 31, 2008 the DNC ruled to give Fl and MI half of their delegate votes and also to give four of MI votes, which rightfully belonged to Sen. Clinton, to Sen. Obama. Now, at a more opportune time for Sen. Obama, they have decided to reverse that decision and seat all delegates with full votes. I would appreciate some investigation of this seemingly overt manipulative action which benefits one candidate. This is one of many tactics in which the DNC has engaged throughout the Primary Elections in order to “select” their favored candidate. I certainly would appreciate any information you have on this issue. Thank you!”

#1210 lisa on 08.25.08 at 6:52 pm

Okay FOLKS
@@@@@@@@@@@PROWL!!!!@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Here is my letter – with the revisions suggested by jbjd.

Google your Secretary of State for your state, and your Attorney General for your state.
GET THE PHONE NUMBER. Call them EARLY IN THE AM and get a fax or email address for these people where they can be reached ASAP.
Take this letter and change it for your state.
FAX or EMAIL it to the attorney general and secretary of state EARLY TOMORROW!!

Dear Attorney General Patrick Lynch,

Subject: Objections to Special Status Granted to the Democratic Party on RI State Ballots

I am writing to you to protest the state of Rhode Island allowing the Democratic party access to our state election ballots.

I understand that state officials cannot intervene in the internal operations of any political party. I want to make clear that this is not what I am asking you to do. Rather, I am putting you on notice, that if the DNC refuses to hold a bona fide floor vote on the nomination, I will work diligently to revoke the special status that our state laws grant to candidates from the Democratic Party to get on the ballot.

We spend taxpayer money for elections that are fair and honest, and support the will of the people. The DNC has shown through it’s nomination of a candidate by fiat, that they are not abiding by our state’s principles. Barack Obama was given the nomination without reaching the proper number of delegates needed to secure it. The super delegates do not officially vote until the convention. Now we see that the super delegates will not be voting at all.

Furthermore, there is widespread reports and investigations of fraudulent voting irregularities in several states. In the Texas caucuses there was massive voter fraud and voter intimidation. In Oregon there were dead people voting. In Los Angeles, gang members were hired to walk neighborhoods and threaten people to vote for Obama. In some southern states there are instances being investigated of votes being sold for $20. , or in some cases, for drugs. These problems affect the results of voting in all states, Rhode Island included. (I.e. see website http://www.lynettelong.com/caucusfraud/meals_prizes/ )

I protest the spending of our state tax dollars to allow a private club such as the DNC to pick their own candidate by their own rules and run it on our state ballots. I request that the DNC not be allowed access to our state ballots without the requisite fees and petitions that the other political parties such as the Green Party or the Libertarian Party must pay and supply, unless they return to holding fair elections based upon votes of citizens.

I suggest that you notify the DNC of my intention, backed by the intention of a very large network of protestors under the aegis of PUMA PAC. I have tried to warn the Democratic Party myself, but the party is not hearing me.

#1211 john on 08.25.08 at 6:52 pm

Barak Obama bubble bursts

By Tim Blair

DEPENDING on which opinion poll you read, US Presidential candidate Barack Obama is either tied with rival John McCain, leads by a tiny margin, or has been overtaken.

This is confusing to many pundits, who don’t understand why a far-left, first-term Senator with dodgy mates, no policies, a profound humour deficit and a habit of committing astonishing gaffes isn’t in front by 20 points.

After all, Obama isn’t exactly starved of press coverage.

If these down party Dems are so concerned with maintaining their special status, let them tell Chairman Dean to hold an open floor vote.

I am telling you, what will scare these people into appropriate conduct is this hint that they will have to answer to an educated involved electorate!

lisa…chills…send copies to the press…and do whatever you can overnight…they need to see how quickly we can act….I am working on preparing a clearer set of instructions to distribute, for those who haven’t followed my comments so well…

And that is the correct answer to Texassherry.

#1230 BrooklynNY on 08.25.08 at 6:59 pm

I can’t listen to the speakers at the Convention anymore. They make me sick. They are trash. Worthless trash. It’s OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA. Love fest for OBAMA. Sounds like he wrote the scripts for the speakers himself. I don’t know how many times a person can say his name in one sentence. He’s worse than Donald Trump.

#1233 joanna0902 on 08.25.08 at 7:00 pm

cnn said there are people outside the pepsi center yelling, “we will not fall in line”! I’m sure they are Puma’s. Cnn said it would be terrible if this happened on the floor! Isn’t there anyway to get into the pepsi center and protest? (I’m sure they would all be arrested)….when november comes, they will blame hillary for his loss!!

#1234 jenniforhillary on 08.25.08 at 7:00 pm

I am positive. Positive that I will insure a MCCAIN victory if Hillary is not the choice.

I hope ALL PUMAS recognize that defeating Barry is the ONLY thing we can do this time if Hillary doesn’t join the fight.

Defeating BARRY is WINNING!!! And we must win…we just must!

#1131 virginia.puma on 08.25.08 at 6:24 pm
I think a great statement we can make is that after the convention, change from Dem to Independent or Republican and let them see the numbers. Still means you can vote for who you want, but a statement no the less.
================

The problem wiht htat is that at soem point Dean and other DNC officers are up for re-election (Jan 2009?) and for that it might be helpful for us to still have ourDem credentials.

Also when a pollster calls, if they start by asking “Which party do you belong to?” and we say “GOP” then they may never ask us “Did you support Hillary?”

#1242 pink puma on 08.25.08 at 7:03 pm

ALL PUMAS should go and demonstrate in front of the PEPSI center wearing their nobama tee shirts and waving nobama signs..also to further thumb their noses at the DNC they should all be drinking down 40 oz bottles of COCA-COLA..

anna7000

It means that if the DNC goes through with choosing a candidate without a fair vote, then we will write letters and start petitions and protest in every way we have shown that we (effectively!) can. We will make the DNC have to prove themselves state by state to get on the ballot just like the green party and the libertarian party, et al have to do- by paying a big fee, and filing petitions, and whatever other hoops they will have to jump through. I wrote it down almost word for word by what our esteemed law advisor suggested. (:

#1272 RememberNovember on 08.25.08 at 7:14 pm

The Obama campaign is clearly concerned and is trying to shut down the media reporting of dissension among the camps. I mentioned this earlier but here’s the quote.

“We understand that some in the news media are more interested in reporting the rumor of controversy than the fact of unity,” Obama’s top strategist David Axelrod and senior Clinton aide Maggie Williams said in a joint statement.

“The fact is that our teams are working closely to ensure a successful convention and will continue to do so,” they said.

“Senator and President Clinton fully support the Obama/Biden ticket and look forward to addressing the convention and the nation on the urgency of victory this fall.

“Anyone saying anything else doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Period.”

#1281 Beca4Hillary on 08.25.08 at 7:17 pm

Obama’s 3 AM Text Message: Jab at Hillary?
Barack Obama didn’t pick Hillary Clinton as his running mate. No surprise here. But the timing of his announcement — early Saturday morning at 3 a.m. — has some in the Clinton camp downright angry.
Obama had claimed he was vetting Hillary for the job and that she was on the short list of his potential picks. But that charade became apparent when he never asked her for financial or other documents typical of the vetting process.
The tea leaves have been clear: Obama was not going to pick Hillary. In a slap in her face, Obama announced that he was making her fired campaign manager, Patti Solis Doyle, as the chief of staff for his new running mate.
Some in the press saw another Obama jab at Hillary when his campaign released the text message to cell phone users announcing the Biden pick at about 3 a.m. Saturday morning.
It was Hilary’s campaign that aired a TV commercial questioning whether Obama could answer the phone at “3 a.m.” if some crisis erupted in the world.
Hillary has taken these hits from Obama with grace. She issued a statement via her email list Satuday congratulating Biden.
“Joe is a friend and colleague, a strong experienced leader and a devoted public servant. I look forward to not only seeing him in Denver next week but on the trail as I work to help Barack Obama and Joe Biden along with many other Democratic candidates campaign this fall.”

I thought this was important so I wanted to repost it. I saw the coverage of CM on the street talking with the crowds. He was very rude and nasty to Hillary supporters and gave the BO’s 3 x more time to talk as far as I can tell. I only caught it while switching stations and missed the beginning. Puma’s might want to try and get some more coverage to gain some support. Chris M is sooo annoying!!!!!!!!!!!

#1297 doctorate on 08.25.08 at 7:21 pm

Just received this email from The City Edition of San Francisco editor Rosemary Regello.

“F.Y.I.

Following the announcement that the roll-call vote at the Dem. convention will be cut off after the first few states, please note that the head of the Arkansas delegation (State number 4 in the roll-call) was murdered on Aug. 13th. This was the day after he allegedly agreed in a telephone call to back the petition of the
independent HRC group (that is, the one pushing for the standard procedure to be observed). Arkansas was Clinton’s biggest win in the primaries, with a 70 percent haul (26 percent for Obama). Nearly all the superdelegates also backed Clinton.

That brings into question whether or not this murder was really a coincidence. If the bulk of Arkansas’ 47 delegates go to Clinton after Alaska, Alabama, and Arizona, it might look odd cutting off the
roll-call at that point. So how will these folks vote?

Here’s a link to our updated article on the murder investigation.

And secondly, he said in order for BO to win he needs in the high 80s or low 90s percentage of HRC voters, without that- get out the butter because Barry is toast!!

Plus she could run when his terms are up!!!

#1322 Headclunker on 08.25.08 at 7:31 pm

Who is watching Chris Matthews? He has a crush on BO and he is a sexist media prostitute. You cannot believe a word out of his mouth.

Hillary speaks for Hillary.

We need to tell everyone about Howie’s tricks as posted above. This is just starting. Let’s get blogging! Faxing! Emailing! Tell everyone.

#1323 murphy on 08.25.08 at 7:32 pm

#1265 TrishfromCanada hey trish a VOICE of REASON, I agree it’s too much and it’s too confusing.

#1325 BigCatLover on 08.25.08 at 7:33 pm

On MSNBC Dennis Kuchinich saying he will speak at the convention and advise Obama on what issues are important to his constituents.

#1326 Pookie on 08.25.08 at 7:33 pm

Headclunker #1311 Chris Matthews is a’ Ho dog’

#1327 zephyr on 08.25.08 at 7:34 pm

#1281 I agree about the McCain/Clinto ticket.I have mentioned it before and I actually heard Bill Kristol on FOX say that the other night.

#1328 Hillmania on 08.25.08 at 7:34 pm

BrooklynNY: I agree he’s an idiot but we Pumas have a chance to be heard and MSNBC has been talking about us PUMAS all day and then doesn’t let us say anything and just calls us whackos. I would like Murphy or one of our other great spokespeople to have a chance to speak and set them straight.
Matthews and the worst person in the world Olbermann are on live right now.

#1329 zach on 08.25.08 at 7:35 pm

There is no way that McCain would pick Hillary as VP, and there is no way that Hillary would ever accept the position with him.

#1330 Crusaders Cross on 08.25.08 at 7:35 pm

TO ALL PUMAS

I JUST TALKED TO MARYLAND PUMA. I DON’T KNOW WHO SHE IS WITH BUT I DO KNOW THAT THEY ARE ALL TIRED AND EXHAUSTED. MARYLAND PUMA SAYS SHE ACTUALLY HAS BLISTERS ON HER HANDS. PLEASE EVERYONE LET’S STICK TOGETHER, NO FIGHTING ETC.

THEY ARE DOING THE BEST THAT THEY CAN DO. IT IS REALLY VERY HARD TO BE IN THEIR SHOES AT THIS TIME AND THEY ARE COUNTING ON ALL YOU GUYS TO BEAR WITH THEM. THEY CAN ONLY DO SO MANY THINGS. I GUESS WE ARE ALL TIRED AND WORE OUT BUT WE HAVE TO KEEP OUR COOL BECAUSE NOT EVERYTHING ALWAYS WORKS OUT PERFECT.

YOU GUYS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB AND I AM SO IN AWE OF WHAT YOU KNOW AND WHAT YOU DO AND HOW MANY WHO’S WHO THAT YOU KNOW. YOU SHOULD ALL BE PROUD OF YOURSELVES BECAUSE YOU ARE DOING A W O N D E R F U L J O B.

I APPRECIATE THE TIME AND EFFORT THAT HAS GONE INTO THIS CRUSADE.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND KEEP YOU SAFE!!!

For those that don’t know I am Maryland Puma’s Mom and I am doing my little part in helping. Hopefully I can do more tomorrow……..I have taken off the rest of the week to pitch in from home to do whatever I have the ability to do…but not like you guys………you ROCK!!!

CLARIFICATION

You are not “reporting” caucus fraud to state officials in the sense that, you expect them to do anything about it. Rather, you are pointing out that, given these frauds, this party primary process is a sham. And, given this extensive evidence the Democratic primary process is a sham – you didn’t hear about these irregularities in the Republican process, did you; why is it that citizens of the same state know how to carry out a caucus, if they are Republicans but not if they are Democrats? – you see no justification for allowing it to continue.

#1332 Ario on 08.25.08 at 7:37 pm

greta is wonderful!!!!!!!!

#1333 mijabsnji on 08.25.08 at 7:37 pm

I am so upset over the so called roll call deal, none of the delagets should go along with it no matter what side they are on, let honesty prevail. On the other hand one of them should get up first and aclaim for Hillary or else the whole roll call should go Hillary till she interupts! I was so upset had to have a glass of wine and a smoke, now I hope MO screws up big time :)

#1334 BrooklynNY on 08.25.08 at 7:38 pm

MBNA paid Biden son at critical time for bill

WASHINGTON – A son of Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden was paid an undisclosed amount of money as a consultant by MBNA, the largest employer in Delaware, during the years the senator supported legislation that was promoted by the credit card industry and opposed by consumer groups.

Hey all — new post up — trying to get photos and videos. If anyone has any links to Pumas in Denver PLEASE post in comments so we can get them up!

#1336 murphy on 08.25.08 at 7:39 pm

oh yeah — take it upstairs!

#1337 heysandy on 08.25.08 at 7:40 pm

#1303 Anna7000

I agree.

#1338 ChristineRI on 08.25.08 at 7:41 pm

I heard the roll call vote will go as far as New York, Hillary will then turn her delegates over to Obama and there will be unity for all. WTF!

#1339 mccaindemo on 08.25.08 at 7:46 pm

The theft of this nomination only proves that what we are witnessing is a coup and it does scare me. All of the signs are so blatant and the media is as powerless as we are..we know someone is pulling strings and the Clintons are probably threatened , go along or…..sound too cloak and dagger?..just look at BOs unsavory friends and mentors. We lived in Africa (Nigeria & Angola) for 8 years(returned to US 20004)…during those years we witnessed ‘free’ elections and believe me they were just as twisted as this one. Obama does have strong ties to Odinga (cousin) in Kenya. Odinga just pushed Sharia law onto the country ..he is muslim and the government that won the election is Christian. Odingas group.. caused horrible violence(locked women & children in church and set fire…)so in order to end the violence he is now power sharing with the elected body.Sorry to digress but this situation here at home is looking very third world.

#1340 Middle age female on 08.25.08 at 7:50 pm

1227 BrooklynNY – that is why I tivo everything and then I can fast forward through that kind of stuff.

#1341 Zee on 08.25.08 at 7:53 pm

1200 LISA

thank you and jbjd! I will be doing this action early tomorrow AM.

I can’t BELIEVE this FARCE of allowing a “few” states to make a fake show!!!!

#1342 bobram on 08.25.08 at 7:59 pm

#1238 LISA AND ALL – someone earlier posted this link for anyone wanting to locate information on their State AG – http://www.naag.org/attorneys_general.shp – you have to search on the left hand side that says The attorneys general and is broken down by State. I don’t see any form that you have to fill out stating that YOU ARE IN that State – why can’t we send one to every state ourselves

#1343 tillerylakelady on 08.25.08 at 8:00 pm

Hey pumas Gallup tracking Poll give Obama and McCain an exact number by number tie. NO BUMP WITH BIDEN

#1344 TrishfromCanada on 08.25.08 at 8:02 pm

#1295 mcr

excuse me?

#1345 BrooklynNY on 08.25.08 at 8:03 pm

#1337 Middle age female on 08.25.08 at 7:50 pm

You’ll be fast forwarding through the whole Convention then, sad to say. (Except maybe Bill, Hillary and Chelsea’s speeches).

I had to turn it off. I felt like they were attempting to hypnotize me. OBAMA, OBAMA OBAMA; it’s so gratuitous. I swear he wrote the scripts for each speaker himself. A true narcissist at work. They should rename that personality disorder in the DSM. Instead of narcissist personality disorder, they should call it barack obama narcissistic disorder. He’s probably be flattered – another place to tack on his name.

#1346 EWard on 08.25.08 at 8:08 pm

#1326

I’m echoing your comments about a Clinton/McCain ticket. It is a non-starter. The RP would hate it.

#1347 BrooklynNY on 08.25.08 at 8:12 pm

#1327 Crusaders Cross on 08.25.08 at 7:35 pm

You are a true sweetheart, Crusaders. Maryland is very fortunate to have a mother like you and you, too, are very fortunate to have a daughter like her.

And Baby Puma sounds like a darling as well. ♥ to all of you.

#1348 bythelake on 08.25.08 at 8:16 pm

pelosi is a…..well, you know..she is full of crap too!

i hope someday that she gets the same that she passed out to hillary….

#1349 NP4HilARee on 08.25.08 at 8:16 pm

our hearts and spirit are with you Denver Pumas. Don”t worry about us – we need to vent. Fight the good fight!!!

#1350 1voice2stopcorruption on 08.25.08 at 8:32 pm

But if they wanted to sure up victory this would be a land-slide.

Why not at least consider it? The RP should really think about this.

The landslide will bring it down

#1351 mcr on 08.25.08 at 8:33 pm

#1341 TrishfromCanada
No problem. Thanks for all you do for the blog.

#1352 1voice2stopcorruption on 08.25.08 at 8:37 pm

Poor Biden. He was forced into this. I just can’t believe that he is that gung-ho about being B.O.’s V.P.

Come on. When I look at these two I see something very wrong.

1. Biden is Presidentential Qualified
2. B.O. is Extreme liberal Professor qualified

#1353 LivingGrace on 08.25.08 at 8:37 pm

I just got back home….is it over? Did she talk already, I hope?

#1354 mcr on 08.25.08 at 8:45 pm

Slyt2, re “mcr back off what??”
Apparently, the post in question was deleted.

#1355 rob3gd on 08.25.08 at 8:58 pm

not to be a downer, but is that al the PUMAs in Denver

#1356 Anna7000 on 08.25.08 at 9:09 pm

Is anyone else having trouble bring up the new thread? I feel like I’m stuck in the basement. Anyone else down here?

#1357 hillary2008 on 08.25.08 at 9:11 pm

Elaine,

Chris Matthews said something very nasty about PUMAS that I taped. It was at 7:11 pm est, I just got home and would be happy tp watch anything that you need. {Pelosi MAKES ME QUEASY]

#1358 Anna7000 on 08.25.08 at 9:18 pm

Thank God I’m not the only one down here. Where’d everybody go? Is blogtalkradio on? Or is Clinton speaking on the convention floor? (I don’t watch tv so I don’t know what’s going on convention-wise.) Help! It’s cold and dark down here and I’m scared!

#1359 pink puma on 08.25.08 at 10:09 pm

Hillary from here out will be campaigning for obama..for whatever reason she feels compelled to do so we don’t know and frankly I don’t care myself..so what I am saying is that..
DON’T LISTEN TO HILLARY…!!DON’T LISTEN TO HILLARY!!
she’s joined them and is on their side now..

#1360 rtr4hill on 08.26.08 at 4:20 pm

Hillary has gone above and beyond for us during this primary season. She wants a future in politics and is a former first lady. I don’t expect her to carry the water for me any longer. If she does not become the nominee then so be it but I own my vote and I will go forward with the same respect and adoration I have had for her all through the primary season

#1361 clintongirl on 08.28.08 at 5:06 pm

Who was the lady “Harriet” on FOX just now? She was
excellent!!
Pure PUMA etal pure genius!!!
