NOTE: ACTION ITEMS ARE BELOW THE FOLD.
DNC & SUPERDELEGATES, PAY ATTENTION — WE WILL NOT FOLLOW ALONG LIKE SHEEP — as both this video, and Linda Starr’s exceptional letter below, with its call to action, make very, very clear to you. Not this time. Not with this unqualified candidate and with the sexism you have permitted to go on, unchecked, throughout this campaign — and most stunningly, your lack of support for the very most qualified, most knowledgeable, most energetic, most ALERT candidate, HILLARY CLINTON! — Preface by SusanUnPC
From LINDA STARR …
Dear Larry,
I am working with women’s groups who are contacting their delegate representatives where HRC overwhelmingly carried the districts and the Democratic representatives are leaning towards Obama. We are contacting these representatives to inform them if they defy their constituents wishes, they will be unseated by the Republican nominee in the General election. I can site two specific examples, Charles Gonzales and Nick Lampson who are in jeopardy in Texas.
I’ve been contacting the HRC supporters and contributors, all of whom previously supported Nick Lampson in his bid to take Tom Delay’s old seat. These women are so incensed because they say Lampson could never have won without their volunteer help and financial assistance and they will vote Republican, if Obama is made the nominee because their own representative defied them. I’m getting similar reactions from women in Charles Gonzales district who are equally surprised and angry.
I recommend other women supporters of HRC do the same with their own representatives in their districts. My whole point, if the superdelegates are willing to defy their constituents and vote for Obama for whatever reason, they are no longer representing their constituents interests (women’s suffrage), their constituents primary votes, or their will. These superdelegates are also ignoring the best interests of the country and the Democratic Party in selecting a nominee who has virtually no chance to win.
DNC Leaders have grossly underestimated the personal offense to the women of the party (and more men than we knew) by the misogynistic methods and hate speech to help Obama steal this nomination away from the people’s choice. The DNC leaders and Democratic members of Congress have sat silently by while Obama’s surrogate attack dog, Jeremiah Wright, (and others, particularly at MSNBC) were deployed against HRC to use inflammatory, derogatory, personally vicious hate speech. There have been no words of reproach, or criticism against either Obama, his campaign staff, his supporters, or directed at members of the msm while HRC is vilified hourly.
Women are appalled and we are threatening a walkout at the national convention if Obama is forced on us as the nominee and we will work to unseat every Representative who defied our choice of HRC. It defies all common sense and logic why the DNC leaders are so hell bent to make Obama the nominee when it is patently obvious he cannot win in the General Election. Check out www.electoral-vote.com and see how in every scenario, HRC beats McCain hands down and in nearly every possible scenario, McCain beats Obama in a landslide except in one particular scenario, if everything goes perfectly for Obama, then he squeaks by. This site does not factor in the mass exodus of pissed off women who won’t vote for him. If those figures are factored in, there is no possible way Obama can win and the Democrats down ticket candidates will lose as well.
Women are so incensed, we are starting a new national women’s party for the specific purpose of electing women, anti-war activists and others who have not enjoyed equal civil rights such as gays and lesbians. Larry please help me get the word out. To join our new group, send an email to newwomensparty-subscribe@yahoogroups.com with their name, a brief description, and location. We are also going to merge with other groups in the near future, by state, to better prepare for the future.
Thank you, especially if you can help us get word out – we aren’t accepting Obama and will not support him if he’s the nominee. We’ll boycott the presidential race, write in a candidate of our choosing, or vote for a candidate of another party. Obama is not acceptable and he must not be allowed to win the nomination by using misogynistic hate speech!
