P.U.M.A. PAC Action Center

[wlotus]

P.U.M.A. PAC has set up an Action Center. The site lists our goals and the various ways people can be involved in the movement. Today was my first chance to check out the site, and I am impressed with what I found. There is even a handy link to allow visitors to easily make a donation to help pay off Senator Clinton's campaign debt! I immediately took advantage of it.

The other day I received a donation request from the DNC. I need to send them a little something. ;-)

I am always encouraged when I read the PUMA blog or The Confluence. The people who write on those sites are far more eloquent than I am about these matters, and the community is supportive to those of us who are protesting the way the DNC mishandled things. (And now the DNC wants us to wink at their lies and schemes and blindly follow behind them. Sure. And there are pigs flying outside my window right now!) It can be difficult to remain encouraged when all around you are people screaming your view is invalid or uneducated or wrong or emotional instead of factual. I don't have to worry about that sort of thing on those sites. I and other informed, intelligent people can share information without being harassed for our views. If we show emotion, we are not criticized for doing so, as though we ought to be automatons who do not feel emotional while dealing with reality. (Since when is feeling emotion mutually exclusive with being realistic?) When we share facts, we are not accused of spreading falsehoods just because they are facts certain people do not want to hear. Those sites are a breath of fresh air and rationality. I am glad they exist.

I am still unsure of what I am going to do, but keep these posts coming. I am fairly sure I'll be donating something to PUMA P.A.C. as well as to Hillary's campaign fund.

I am not sure, yet, how I will vote in November, either. (Except I know I cannot, in good conscience, vote for Senator Obama.) A lot can still happen between now and August's DNC convention, because Senator Clinton has only suspended her campaign rather than conceding it and turning her delegates over to Senator Obama. My main focus right now is remaining involved in the PUMA PAC and protesting the way the DNC is trying to push their selection down our throats. After the convention is played out, then I will know better what my next step will be. In the meantime, I'll keep educating myself on the various issues and candidates in various parties.

You've been hearing, I'm sure, about Obama's support of FISA? Well, let's not split hairs here, FISA got considerable Democratic support in general.

If ever I needed a clear, incontrovertible reason to withdraw my support from them, that's it.

You've got a good idea here on sending them a copy of your new status as an unaffiliated voter. I think I may do that...but with a typed up paper explaining exactly why I cannot support a party that stopped supporting me a long time ago.

Believe me, my written comments will be on the back of the photo, in permanent ink.

I do not know anything about FISA, but it's time I educated myself. ::hits Google::

solarbird has been writing some great posts about it. She's a great source for that and related subjects.

Oh, THAT FISA. I am somewhat familiar with the issue, but not the acronym. This does not bode well. Thank you for the heads up and for pointing me to solarbird's blog.

I posted a link about that this morning. Check it out, if you haven't.

Downright depressing.

I did, and you're right!

I like Anglachel's posts the most of the Hillary bloggers.

She takes down the blogger boyz Obamacans with a deep analysis that I really like. (I'm a research geek so I like her posts and Ginmar's best because they are also big research geeks like me. I don't write as well as either but a feminist post by Ginmar's or Anglachel's just makes my day and ready to fight again.) I like the Confluence and Puma blog a lot too though.
