PUMA CALL TO DNC DELEGATES
OBAMA SIGNALS ENDLESS WAR IN IRAQ, SELLOUTS ON FISA, NAFTA, AND CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM
WANTED: 175 HONEST DEMOCRATIC DELEGATES TO LEAVE FRAUDULENT OBAMA IN DENVER!
On July 3, Barack Obama revealed once and for all that he has run a fraudulent campaign in his attempt to secure the Democratic nomination for President. The foundation of Obama’s campaign had been his claim that he was the anti-war alternative in his opposition to Bush’s war in Iraq.
Now, in a North Dakota campaign event, Obama has declared that he will consult with the generals and “refine his position” on the Iraq war. The Washington Post headlined: “Obama May Consider Slowing Iraq Withdrawal.” But the real message is clear: Obama is moving rapidly away from his earlier 11-month or 16-month timetables for withdrawal and towards full support for endless war, conflict, violence, and bankruptcy in Iraq.
Samantha Power had confessed Obama’s doubletalk on Iraq months ago. The handwriting is now on the wall: Obama will soon go to Iraq, meet with General Petraeus, and then announce his Baghdad road conversion to a policy of open-ended military occupation, oblivious to the immense human costs.
Soon there will be no difference at all between Obama and McCain on the Iraq war, and the Democratic Party will have missed yet another historic opportunity to help the American people end Bush’s and Cheney’s failed Neo-Conservative policies. McCain is exploiting Obama’s radical shifts in position as examples that Obama has no principles, but only opportunism and expediency, and that his much-touted soaring words mean absolutely nothing.
We Democrats now have our last chance to reflect: do we really want to give our nomination to this little-known newcomer who solicited support as a peace advocate, but has now unmasked himself as being a candidate with positions closer to McCain on Iraq?
OBAMA BETRAYS DEMOCRATS ON FISA, NAFTA, CAMPAIGN FINANCE, THE DEATH PENALTY, AND MUCH MORE
From the instant that he felt that the Democratic nomination was in his hands, Obama has moved relentlessly to the right in a breathtaking, stunning exhibition of cynicism, duplicity, and fraudulent campaigning. Everything he stood for has been thrown overboard, and Obama has broken his word — the commitment he made to his own core voters and donors.
Obama promised to stop Bush’s assault on the Constitution and civil liberties, and end illegal wiretapping. Now, Obama will vote for the Republican leaning compromise on the FISA bill, including immunity for the telecoms – something only yesterday he promised the Democrats who supported him he would filibuster.
Obama raised money from grassroots Democrats on the premise that their small donations would allow him to be free of the corrupting influence of big money, big business, and special interests, but he has now broken his promise by opting out of public financing for his fall campaign, junking the cause of political reform he claimed to champion.
In Ohio and Pennsylvania, Obama posed as a critic of free trade sellouts like NAFTA, CAFTA, and WTO, specifically telling voters that voting for Hillary Clinton would be voting to support NAFTA. Now Obama has told Fortune magazine that he is a great friend of free trade and the “market.”
Obama now openly supports the death penalty, more of Bush’s faith-based theocratic subsidies, and the “merit pay” assault on teachers. He wants to cut the corporate income tax, and he now opposes attempts to curb hand gun violence.
In a most glaring betrayal to his contract with the Democratic base, Obama’s current team of economic advisers suggests that he will soon come out for the partial privatization of Social Security, camouflaged as “entitlement reform.”
In short, Obama intends to betray not just his own basic commitments, but the historical foundations of the Democratic Party going back to Franklin D. Roosevelt. The modern Democratic Party was built on the New Deal Democrats, a party of shared responsibility, and a contract to be the voice and champion of working class Americans.
Obama’s “new coalition” dismantles the REAL Democratic Party and replaces it with an elite party of Neo-Liberals, stealing the mantle of FDR.
SENATOR CLINTON MUST BE OUR NOMINEE
DEMOCRATS DID NOT VOTE FOR THE OBAMA WHO HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT AFTER JUNE 3RD
If Obama imitates McCain on so many issues, the November election will come down to a choice between two individuals, and a fraudulent Obama will not fare well against war hero McCain, who is seen by voters as a straight shooter.
McCain will point out that voters cannot trust the disingenuous Obama, and on that, McCain will be correct. Fortunately, Obama has tipped his hand by dropping his mask too soon: there is no Democratic nominee until the Roll Call of the States on August 27, 2008 in Denver.
We are not calling for some futile and self-defeating gesture – we are pointing to the path that leads to victory.
With Senator Clinton, we have a superior, battle-tested, and winning candidate who is waiting in the wings, ready, and willing to take over. Clinton would be a reliable leader on the issues that have built the Democratic Party. She has stood firm on her positions — past and present — even when it is not politically expedient.
The lesson is clear: the Democratic Party cannot win back the White House without the support of the New Deal Democratic base and their ideals.
The Democratic Convention in Denver must put forth a candidate that represents the values of the Party of FDR and that will win the hearts, minds, and votes of Democrats in November.
The Barack Obama running after June 3rd is not that candidate.
We must have an open convention in Denver — not a thoughtless coronation — so that we can seriously deliberate the far-reaching choices the party must make in this time of war and economic depression.
175 PATRIOTS CAN SAVE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY BY NOMINATING THE TRUER DEMOCRAT
The fate of the United States — and the future of the Democratic Party – now rests with a minimum of 175 Democratic delegates who must now exercise their mature political judgment in the service of their country, and turn away from Obama to support Senator Clinton.
As of now, Obama has about 2229.5 delegate votes, with 1766.5 pledged delegates and 463 super delegates.
Clinton has 1896.5 delegate votes, with 1639.5 pledged and 257 super delegates.
Shift just 175 delegates from Obama to Clinton, and Obama’s power grab comes to a halt.
There must be no nomination of Obama on the first ballot. Once Obama has failed to secure the nomination on the first ballot, the party will be able to reflect on who the nominee ought to be, based on the experiences of June, July, and August.
Senator Clinton is pledged to an orderly, sane, and secure pullout. Clinton wants mandatory universal health care and a freeze on foreclosures. She wants to shift the federal gasoline tax away from motorists, truckers, and farmers and towards the Oil Industry.
Obama is on the wrong side of all of these issues.
Hillary Clinton is and has always been on the side of traditional Democratic Party values.
We want a president from the Democratic Party, not from a small group of elite, libertarian Neo-Liberals. Lexington and Concord were started by a few dozen farmers.
Does the Democratic Party still have 175 patriots with the courage to take a stand?
PUMAS URGE YOU TO BRING TO AN END WHAT HAS BEEN A MOST FRAUDULENT CAMPAIGN
We are PUMAs — Democrats who reject an automatic proxy vote.
Instead, we are fighting for real Democratic Party values and the future of the party we love and still claim as our own.
We call on the delegates to the Denver convention to search their consciences, their experiences in past elections, and their own common sense.
Our party has had enough of defeat and retreat. We must not allow the DNC to impose on us yet another losing General Election candidate.
Obama’s anemic poll numbers already foreshadow defeat in November, and his continuing sellout on the issues is only making matters worse.
We urge you to reconsider your vote for Obama, and to instead vote for Senator Clinton — the strongest candidate, the people’s choice in the popular vote, and the candidate who has and will continue steadfastly to represent the core pillars of the Democratic Party.
Vote to seat Michigan and Florida at full strength as elected in the January primary. Organize your fellow delegates to block Obama.
Vote for Clinton, for victory in November, and for an end to the long nightmare of the Iraq war.
Will Bower (in cooperation with other PUMAs)

Great article. The only thing I’d add is this isn’t the Barack Obama anyone voted for since the PA primary. Once his controversial ties were discovered, his supporters started leaving him, and the DNC had to step him to illegally hand him the nomination.

Go Will & PUMA. I’m right there with you. I love the zeal and passion for this just cause. Superdelegates are listening. There are many of them who actually make choices passed upon reasoning skills. We have to keep reasoning with them. I believe our voices are giving credence to those voices debating behind closed doors, because I don’t believe the debate is over even within the political arena. Hillary suspended, she didn’t concede her campaign and she didn’t release her delegates. Let’s have a roll call in Denver!

(Either that or we had an incredible moment of synchronicity this week, which is possible with PUMAS!). Either way, it looks fabulous, and we should definitely have t-shirts, mugs and/or bumper stickers made with that. It ties in perfectly with the founding fathers and the fundamental rebellion of the PUMAS against the undemocratic practices of the DNC. It’s classic.

For first of the 175 honest democratic super delegates, I nominate Senator Robert Casey, (D) Pennsylvania. We can forgive you, Senator, for being cajoled by your daughters into supporting their new crush, but now it is time to get back to representing Pennsylvanians who don’t rate in the O Camp. Vote the will of your constituants. Come out publicly and officially for HRC. Remember, ‘dumprick’ wasn’t about electing Casey, it was about dumping Santorum.

Hi Will,
I didn’t keep your email, so I don’t know how else to contact you. (You can delete this from the comments section after you get it.)
I listened to the radio show again tonight, and I wanted to give you some feedback. Re: technical feedback: I think you know this, because you mentioned it during the show, but the sound was very low for Paula and Marilu. I haven’t noticed that on other shows.
I am writing specifically regarding something I’ve noticed in public appearances by some PUMA spokespeople, and it was very evident tonight when “John” called in. Clearly an Obama supporter, he was forceful with his “Hillary and Obama have the same positions, how can you support McCain…100 years war etc.” meme.
It is imperative that the PUMA leaders collaborate on clear, intelligent and specific responses to this, because Sherri got a bit defensive, and Paula and Marilu hesitated, unsure of how to articulate their position. Marilu did emphasize that:
*It’s ideology vs. issues: both Hillary & John M. are centrists.
*Roe v. Wade has not been overturned to date, and Carly Fiorina assured the Clinton Dems that it is settled law according to McCain.
*I’ve heard Paula emphasize in the past that Obama is fundamentally inexperienced, and that is a danger to the country. His recent and numerous flip-flops indicate his amateur abilities on the domestic and international stage (and/or his opportunism/insincerity re: policy positions).
BUT NO ONE MENTIONED THE FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE: The DNC (& the Obama Campaign) used fraudulent means to achieve Obama’s illegitimate nomination. Comparing his positions to Hillary’s is irrelevant, because the PUMA movement is a protest against the corrupt and manipulative nominating process.
You made an excellent point re: alternative ways to fight Supreme Court decisions, and there is also the issue of McCain’s history of working across the aisle (unlike Obama, though he claims to), so that if we have a Dem Congress, there will again be a balance of powers to off-set any conservative leanings of McCain.
I’m sure there are many other sound, strong responses, and I think it would be great if you all considered this (and asked PUMAs to contribute online) during one of your conference calls so that we can create a list of reference talking points to speak with a unified, powerful voice regarding the main themes. Of course, there will be variations on all of this, because different PUMA groups have different perspectives, but there is overlap.
Two questions keep coming up in interviews: “HOW can you support McCain if Obama and Hillary’s positions are so similar?” and “Aren’t you just angry because Hillary lost?” I’ve seen several people fumble with answers, and it makes PUMAS look somewhat reactive and defensive, instead of empowered with the fundamental cause of democracy that is listed on PUMA sites as our mission statement, and informed re: McCain as a legitimate choice.
Thanks for listening. I just got frustrated listening to that caller try to bully Sherri and the guests. However, as I’ve said, I’ve noticed it in other interviews (eg: Cynthia Ruccia on Larry King), and as the PUMAS become stronger, the challenges are going to be fierce, so we have to be prepared to answer, and answer specifically regarding McCain’s policies and our principled position.
Thanks and keep up the great work!

I read on another web site that 8 super delegates changed from Obama to Clinton. Does anyone know if that is true? Does anyone know who changed?
I have been trying to contact super delegates but we all need to help each other keep up with any changes.
We need to thank the ones who change to Senator Clinton and keep working on the ones who have not changed.

Hello everyone, I just joined today. Seems the rest of you are as concerned as I am about Obama’s pandering move to the middle. It’s left me thinking: is he pandering to the Republican base or was he pandering to us progressives?
This made me realize that as a progressive and one of Hillary’s original supporters, Obama’s new position is to the RIGHT of Hillary. That makes Hillary, who staked out her position early in the primaries and stuck with it, the most progressive candidate. Ironic, no?
I stumbled in here after readers suggested PUMA, given my posts on my own blog and on TPM.

At the risk of being villified here, please allow me to express a contrary opinion.
First let me say that when this nomination process began I supported neither Senator Clinton nor Senator Obama. My horse didn’t get nearly as far as these two did. Let me also say that had Senator Clinton secured the Democratic nomination I would have been pleased to work hard for her election. She did not and I am equally pleased to work hard to insure Senator Obama’s election this November.
I greatly admire Senator Clinton and I am confident she will continue to exert real influence on public policy in the future. She has a lot to offer this country. It is not unreasonable to think she might even make another run for the White House.
Having been on the losing side of tough primary fights a number of times I certainly understand how that feels. But I have always picked myself up, dusted myself off and gone to work for the nominee. I would encourage everyone to do the same.
Being a man I won’t pretend that I have a perfect understanding of a woman’s view of the world. I do understand that many women had a huge emotional investment in the idea of electing a woman president this year. And when I listen to a woman of my generation recount how she was fired by the airline she worked for because she was eight pounds overweight by their standards and other stories of similar sexism that women have suffered I know how important a symbol Hillary Clinton has become for them. As the father of a very capable young woman I assure you I have a keen interest in equality of opportunity for women.
What I don’t understand is this narrative that somehow the process was unfair to Clinton and that she was somehow cheated out of the nomination. It just isn’t supported by the facts. And I find the notion expressed by many that she was somehow entitled to the nomination to be particularly troubling. No one is entitled to the nomination.
The plain fact is that the main reason Hillary Clinton lost the nomination is Hillary Clinton. That is not to say that she was defective as a candidate. In fact I would agree with those who contend that she was far better as a candidate than her campaign. Her campaign was a disaster from the beginning. Poor strategy or in many states no strategy. No clear and coherent message (remember the daily changing slogans and themes?). Poor management of money. Heck, no presidential campaign EVER has run into the kind of debt hers has. And when they needed money in states where they had assumed they wouldn’t need to campaign (having arrogantly assumed she would clinch the nomination on Feb 5th) they didn’t have the funds they needed.
I listened to Gerry Ferraro in her interview with Meredith Vieira recounting how in one of the first debates (back when it seemed like about twenty candidates on stage) the guys were all ganging up on Hillary. Her contention was that this was evidence of sexism. What hogwash!
At that point Clinton was the prohibitive front runner. She was the best known. She had all the establishment folks behind her. She had the most money and the best fundraisers. She was well ahead in the polls. Among every demographic. We all figured her for the odds on favorite to win the nomination.
The other candidates went after her because she was the front runner! It had nothing to do with her gender. She could have been a hermaphrodite and they all would have gone after her. They would have to have been incredibly stupid to behave any other way. Disappointment at having one’s preferred candidate lose aside, to portray this as evidence as sexism is patently false.
Are people who describe themselves as feminists really proposing that men should “go easy on the little woman”? Isn’t that the antithesis of feminism. Clinton was competing on a big stage and she was in the power position. Having a woman be treated exactly as a man in the same position would be seems like a triumph for women. To argue that we should lower the bar and treat the front runner with kid gloves simply because she’s a woman would be setting the cause of equality for women back about forty years!
I am not terribly fond of the rules we currently operate under. The intent of proportional representation is sound. If 35% of us feel one way about something, the 65% majority doesn’t get 100% of the representation (like the Republicans do it). Minority viewpoints get a seat at the table. I wouldn’t want to change that.
We have carried it to a ludicrous extreme though. I think we can steer a happy medium between the winner take all system and the system we have now in future elections. I hope we will.
But the rules were known by all going in and have been in force for years. The fact that they made it damned near impossible for Clinton to dig out of the hole her incompetent campaign had put her in doesn’t mean she was treated unfairly.
In a post that is already too long i don’t want to reopen the can of worms that Michigan and Florida became. I would just encourage you to go back and review what Senator Clinton herself said about those two states and how they should be treated when she didn’t expect she would ever need their delegates. I don’t hold a little tactical bullshit against her, but she wasn’t always so solicitous of the concerns of the voters of those states.
Harold Ickes of the Clinton campaign was one of the prime voices for stripping those two states of ALL their delegates when he was voting on the matter as part of the DNC last year. He was quite strident in demanding it as opposed to stripping them of half of their delegates as the rules ALWAYS called for. He, like Senator Clinton argued for just the opposite when it suited their purposes.
I don’t hold it against them for fighting like hell to win. But to buy into this fiction that she was cheated out of the nomination by the DNC is ludicrous. And it is destructive.
We have a war in Iraq in which we have taken over 30,000 casualties. We have families in great distress because of an economy that is tanking. We have children who go to bed hungry at night. We have high school drop out rates in excess of 50% in some of our cities. And on and on.
If you think that nursing hurt feeling and distoring past events to support a false narrative of grievous offense to help you justify helping to elect John McCain is the thing you should do, I don’t imagine anything I say will disuade you.
I hope that at least some of you will pause and take a fresh objective look at some of the bogus notions that are being spread on sites like this and will cease working to condemn us to four more years of what we have now.

In case anyone was feeling all soft and fuzzy about the “Unity Thing,” check out the NYTimes front page today (I used to respect the Times, being a NYer. Stopped reading in February when Dowd and Frank Rich started foaming at the mouth):
A prominent donor to Senator Obama recently sent an email plea to other supporters, asking them—for the sake of Democratic unity—to write checks to Senator Hillary Clinton to help retire her $23 million in campaign debt. Some of the replies are unprintable, given the coarse language, the donor said. A sampling of others included:
“Why would I help pay off debts that Hillary amassed simply to keep damaging Senator Obama?” [Translation: You see, it’s all Hillary’s fault. She pointed out all those horrible issues like his lack of experience, and his phony policy positions.]
“Not a penny for that woman. Or her husband. Or—god forbid—Mark Penn.”
Mr. Obama has asked his top donors to help raise money for her debt, and so far they have come up with less than $100,000. “A paltry sum,” in the words of one Clinton official.
Among the complaints from Obama campaign officials is that Mrs. Clinton’s expectation for help has been a moving target; in other words, it is unclear how much money from Obama supporters will be enough to satisfy the Clintons…Mrs. Clinton is helping Obama with the understanding that he would do more for her. [Translation: They are just greedy insatiable power mongers.]
Clinton donors and campaign officials remain surprised, and some, offended, that Mr. Obama has refused to ask his entire list of donors, more than 1.5 million people, to send [small donations] for Mrs. Clinton’s debt. Obama officials said they did not want to distract their donors for the main task at hand, raising money to defeat Mr. McCain.
Alan Patricof, a top Clinton fund-raiser and family friend: “I think most people thinks that helping Barack is the best way to get help from the Obama camp to help retire her debt, which is a major source of concern for her right now.”
WE HAVE TO PAY OFF HER DEBT! She is being held hostage.

A letter to Mr. Obama,
You ran for the Senate in 2004.
You ran for the Presidency in 2008.
Are you going to run for King of the World in 2012?
Yes, judgment counts but so does some experience.
It would surely be nice if you had some real experience in addition to your claim of good judgment.
Some real accomplishments that show how you worked across the aisle and brought people together would be nice as well.
You have not helped race relations you have hurt them.
A white man or white woman or even a black woman with your experience could never have risen so high in so little time.
President Clinton was right when he told you to wait eight years and get some real experience.
Then I might have voted for you!
