By Pat Racimora on Aug 24, 2008 in Democratic National Convention, Democratic Party, Democrats Against Obama, Disenfranchisement, Hillary Clinton, Howard Dean | 139 Comments

It’s hard to know how many of us will still be bugging Howie and the DNC after November, but I have a strong hunch that a huge swarm will not be going anywhere. At least not until the DNC is totally revamped into a party that lives up to its name. As Donna Brazile resolved [...]

Approximately a year ago thousands of committed volunteers attended “Camp Obama,” a four-day indoctrination program, geared at teaching pre-screened Obama volunteers grass roots organizational strategies.   The training, which specifically focused on the caucus states, taught volunteers to be “ruthless,” “take risks,” and win at all costs. Obama’s campaign and Camp Obama’s strategy which focused [...]

She criticized The One. “Sacha Millstone acknowledged she was frustrated over how the Obama campaign was treating delegates who supported Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and told a fellow delegate, in what she believed was a private e-mail exchange, that she was not [...]

The Just Say No Deal/PUMA movement is evidence of a deep rift in the Democratic Party, one I believe the polls are not reflecting. Contrary to what the neo-liberals may say, the movement is not comprised of bitter old women — although many are bitter, many are women, and some are perhaps old. Instead, this [...]

Five months passed while we waited for a decision from the Rules and Bylaw Committee arm of the Democratic National Committee. During the months Florida and Michigan voters waited for a decision on their voices and votes, Obama did everything in his power to block state level efforts at revotes.

PUMAs Are “Surging” »

By SusanUnPC on Jul 28, 2008 in Barack Obama, DNC, Democracy, Democratic Nomination, Disenfranchisement, Hillary Clinton, Indiana, North Carolina, Texas | 289 Comments

Newsbusters.org has written a great article on PUMA power today, “MSM Mostly Ignores Surge of Anti-Obama PUMA Democrat Activity.” A choice quote: Imagine if a bunch of disgruntled Mitt Romney supporters were currently stalking John McCain or Republican events loudly demanding that their candidate be nominated. Think the national press would be featuring it bigtime [...]

Don Fowler, the former head of the DNC sent a letter to Democratic leaders and major contributors this week urging party unity.  Intended to get resistant Hillary supporters on board, the unity letter is likely to produce the opposite effect.  The letter repeatedly stated, “Barack Obama won. It’s over!”   In other words, “Get over it,” [...]

One of the central premises of IOwnMyVote.com is that the 18 million people who voted for Hillary Clinton deserve full and fair representation at the convention.  This means, if nothing else, that the delegates who we elected must be allowed to represent us and vote at the convention, and that Hillary herself must have a [...]
