I was already worried about the strategy and direction of her campaign even then. As Harold Ickes said not too long ago, "she is SO much better than this campaign." Not a truer thought spoken. That said, I thought you may be interested in a petition that a friend/co-worker emailed to me: You can view this petition at: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/tell-a-friend/220211 I not only signed it (#815), but also found solace in reading the thoughts and feelings of so many others who share similar views about the "compare and contrast" between HRC and BO. In essence, obviously, there is no comparison. And, yes, I have contributed several times to this campaign, including the 9/14/07 event at Magic Johnson's home, and the 4/3/08 event at Wilshire Theater in Beverly Hills. (Not to mention a couple times online!) From the bottom of my heart, I wish YOU and the campaign the best of luck. Here’s what I sent to Geoff Garin:

I sent this No Quarter article (with Geoff Garin's email), and, specifically, YOUR comment, to some of my friends who are also loyal HRC supporters. As I said to them, "I found this comment particularly intelligent and articulate, and the sentiments expressed in his last paragraph nearly brought a tear to my eye." So thank you for supporting this very qualified and deserving candidate as you have, and thank you for sharing your thoughts with us here.

Of course the crybaby Obama has backed out. That's his problem. CNN should still honor Senator Clinton's commitment: they could change it to a TOWN HALL where Hillary answers questions from NC citizens. If they did this, watch Obama scurry to get back in, the same way he horned in on Hillary's Colbert appearance, after refusing to accept his own appearance....no doubt scared that Colbert would pull a HOPE BONG out on him. Tell CNN that they should still honor the slot Hillary committed to! My idea was that CNN should honor Hillary’s agreement to appear in the next debate later this month.

He might thing this old fogey didn't catch what he was doing but I did! His "dirt of my shoulder" gesture his "finger to the law" gesture, flipping the bird to Hillary, his smirk when the audience "got it" and started cheering was so disgusting, so UN presidential I was sick. He is not Presidential material. This type of behavior is immature and divisive. I am sure many American's did not see or did not understand what he was doing but he was giving a covert shout out to his "homeys" which was extremely juvenile. Of course, the MSM is not reporting it or explaining what he was doing. Throwing signs?? I am still shocked he would stoop that low with his Chicago smackdown. He is disgusting. I am sure all the kids think it is very "cool" and "hip" but I don't, I think it is ageist and sexist. His playing 99 problems after NH was equally disgusting and equally unreported! These things alone disqualify him for the Presidency. His inexperience and associating with racists and criminals and terrorists notwithstanding.

“We want to know what you think” – here it is:

Everyday, I commit myself to do something for Hillary, like: "Honk for Hillary" in almost every known intersection in Charlotte, everyday in different places led by Kenneth and myself. We want Hillary visible in every corner of Charlotte at least (maybe other group can do this, too).It's fun! And this one is crazy, we go out after midnight and plant Hillary signs (we're like Hillary Vampires!) Of course, we do phone banking, too. I go out with Hillary button on my lapel to meet Hillary supporters and the undecided. Hopefully I can make a difference to those who can't make up their mind and make them a supporter of Hillary at the end. Last but not the least, I try to respond to any news that so negative about Hillary. One was published in Charlotte Observer, though. Every night,I blogged. These are the samples that you can do,too. As Carmina said " We're Here to Win". And I add "at any cost." I’m a volunteer in Charlotte, NC.

I'm a happy girl. I responded to the request set forth by Geoff of the Clinton campaign, and I was rewarded today as I watched Hillary with Maya Angelou. I had replied to the email with a rather detailed suggestion that Hillary needs to really highlight immediate actions to help Americans with the exorbitant gas prices... and also someone needs to address the oil trading, stockpiling of oil to work the market, and how it has driven up the price. Well.. today in NC, someone had asked her about gas prices, and she delivered. She hit every point I'd hoped she'd hit, gave mondo detail, and got the most rousing response of the afternoon for her willingness to take that subject on. So.. I have no clue if my comments really made a difference, but I'm just thrilled that she made that adjustment to her gas price solutions on the campaign trail. I urge EVERYONE to please send those emails in to give them suggestions. I really do think they're listening. Well.. I’m a happy girl.
