A Together4Us Founder Reveals Her Telephone Conversation with Barack Obama
By SusanUnPC on July 16, 2008 at 2:15 PM in Barack Obama, Democratic National Convention, Democratic Nomination, Hillary Clinton, MSNBC
Another Together4Us founder telephoned me this morning. She says the group is diverse and — much like many of us here — includes those who share Jill Iscoll’s view about Obama selecting Hillary Clinton as his running mate, as well as those opposed to Obama’s candidacy, no matter his running mate. Personally, I feel torn. If Obama should select Hillary Clinton as his running mate, I might have a difficult time voting against her. But it’s a long time from now until November, and my primary focus until the end of August is on ensuring she is the Democratic nominee. Watch for a new article by an associate of Together4Us later today.
I respect Jill Iscoll’s expression of her viewpoint, and her courage in appearing on MSNBC, which is generally unfriendly terroritory for Clinton supporters.
Here is the Together4Us group’s pledge:
On Saturday, June 7, 2008, Hillary Clinton suspended her historic campaign for President. To her 18 million voters, it may have seemed like an end, but we pledge to make it a beginning… a beginning of a movement to achieve the democratic and just country that Hillary has envisioned for America.
Hillary has spoken out for citizens who are too often invisible – children, the poor, the elderly, the working and middle class. She has spoken out and worked hard for universal health care, a strong economy, a clean planet, a stellar education system, an end to the war in Iraq and a sound foreign policy. She has built a broad and dedicated coalition of supporters and has energized millions of new voters – most notably women.
We stand together with her 18 million voters in pursuit of all of the following:
- Bring us together by honoring Hillary Clinton and her supporters at the Democratic National Convention in Denver by:
- Placing her name into nomination (following traditional protocol)
- Ensuring a roll-call vote
- Inviting her to speak, during prime-time, on August 26th, the 88th anniversary of Women’s Suffrage
- Bring us together by adoption of policies on the Platform Committee that Hillary Clinton has championed.
- Bring us together through reform of the primary and caucus system to reflect the basic principle of one person – one vote.
- Bring us together through outspoken denunciation of all gender bias, racism and other forms of discrimination.
- Bring us together by making a concerted effort to retire her campaign debt.
We are being asked to embrace Party Unity without the fair representation of Hillary Clinton and her 18 million voters. Party Unity requires bilateral action. We ask Barack Obama and the DNC to respond.
Check out Together4Us , and consider signing the group’s pledge.
