PUMA PAC IS PROTESTING THE ELECTION. WE WILL NOT SUPPORT THE SELECTED DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE. THERE IS NO WAY THE DEMOCRATS CAN WIN IN NOVEMBER WITHOUT US, AND WE ARE NOT GOING WITH THEM.
I said on June 3rd that Puma PAC was here to stay and I meant it. It is still true today. Between now and November our work may be quieter, but it is even more important than ever that we stay organized and active.
The rough outline of our plan describes a campaign, just like any other campaign, to reach out to Democrats in important states and encourage them to JOIN OUR PROTEST. We will highlight the reasons Obama did not earn the nomination and the reasons why good democrats should consider withholding their votes from him. IMPORTANT: We are NOT Republicans. We do not support the Republican agenda in any way. Of course, this is a very big and complex country. There are MANY, MANY good republicans out there — we are not a Republican hate site. Of the millions of Puma PAC members who decide to pull the lever for John McCain on November 4th, some most certainly will be happy to do it. But, I believe, for most of us — if we take that drastic step and actually cross over to the R side for the President, it will be with a heavy heart and even some misgivings.
A PUMA PAC VOTE FOR JOHN MCCAIN IS A PROTEST VOTE AGAINST THE DNC AND THE CROOKED PROCESS
Taking that a bit further, I understand that in comments for the next week or so, many us will want to struggle out loud with the question of whether or not to vote for McCain. Others among us are DEAD-SET against EVER voting Republican. Still others will want to promote third party candidates. For the first few days I will allow a certain amount of debate about the candidates now in the race. However I draw the line at outright campaigning for any candidate, as well as any outright attacks of any candidates. Puma PAC’s official stance is that we are PROTESTING THE ELECTION. Any vote that is not for Barack Obama, including a non-vote, is a valid and powerful contribution to our PROTEST.
This really is a new day. It is the first day of our new — and biggest battle — to reclaim the Democratic Party for the working and middle class.
Oh, and what Riverdaughter, Queen of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pantsuits, said.
