PUMA UPDATE
UPDATE from MURPHY
We have reached the top of the roller coaster and are flat-out flying from here to Denver. The actions we take as a group today, tomorrow, and the next few weeks will decide the outcome of the November election -- no matter WHAT happens in Denver.
I wanted to share with you part of an email I received today from one of Puma PAC's most active and effective bloggers. Kat is tireless in her efforts to spread our Voice of the Voters message everywhere she can in the blogosphere and beyond, and she really lifted my spirits today:
"...No worries, ok? Obama is having a terrible week. Just terrible ... McCain now leads by one point, the McCain ads are working, the book "The Obama Nation" came out on the 1st, and then "The Case Against Barack Obama" came out today, on his birthday (after the taxi split with his luggage), and Obama is flip flop--lying on everything from drilling for oil to Nasa monies, and there are all sorts of big stories brewing on No Quarter and elsewhere.
SO, all we have to do is stay focused because we are tight on time.
It's all good anyway, no one would want to attack Puma Pac (and all pumas) if they weren't threatened by their/ our power. You know how many enemies powerful people have? bwaahhhwahhh. It comes with the territory. Screw 'em." So, Everyone -- let's stay focused and active and positive! We have many days between now and August 27th.
Each day is a new day for activism and organizing. Please check the blog daily for updates and new action items.
1. DOCUMENTARY! The Puma PAC documentary "The Audacity of Democracy: The Hillary Flashpoint and the Battle for the Soul of the Democratic Party" is in production, and it is DYNAMITE! After only 2 weeks of filming, the director, Brad Mays, and producer, Lori Starfelt, have hundreds of hours of footage and an inspiring short clip from the developing story. Please take a look at the promotional clip on Youtube and send a link to it to all your friends and family. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8t4PKGc2Fw
2. DENVER! Puma PAC and the Just Say No Deal coalition will be in Denver for the entire Convention week. We will be coordinating protest and visibility actions, live-blogging, and live-hosting radio shows from Puma Headquarters in Denver. We are doing everything we can to help Puma members get to Denver. Final bus information will be available later this week.
3. DELEGATES! Puma PAC is continuing its efforts to reach out to Super Delegates and pledged delegates EVERY DAY between now and the final vote at the Convention on the floor in Denver. This is about FAIRNESS and DEMOCRACY.
Hillary Clinton's 18 million Democratic voters and delegates have a RIGHT to have their votes and voices COUNT at our party's convention. We are not going to be satisfied with lip service to democracy or symbolism instead of fair representation.
4. OUTREACH! Sorry, couldn't think of a synonym for Outreach that begins with "D." So, it is vitally important that we keep spreading the Puma PAC message. We are the Voice of the Voters in the Democratic Party and we intend to get our party back.
Please visit the ACTION CENTER and print out 50 flyers or cards to distribute in your neighborhood.
Send your email lists a letter inviting them to join. Tell your friends that there IS an alternative to falling in line -- it's called Puma PAC, and we WILL succeed.
Thank you so much to everyone for ALL you are doing to make our movement viable, strong, and effective. We are making history with each passing day!
Murphy
