More Info Re: Delegates' Nominating Petition

by: Alegre

Thu Aug 07, 2008 at 01:01:25 AM EDT


I just got the following from Ricki Lieberman and she reminds us of the vital importance of delegates getting the right format of the petition when they sign on.  Also, Hillary's aware of their efforts!

This evening at a "thank you, Hillraisers" event, Senator Clinton told me how honored she is by the people who are working to have her name put into nomination and appreciative of those signing the petition.  So, like the proverbial laser, I am focusing on getting Hillary's name in nomination and nominated in Denver.  This means zooming in on the decision makers and the opinion makers with thoughtful, persuasive communications.  Please help in any way you can!

With regard to the nominating petition, please note that in the interests of making it as complicated as possible, there are 4 categories of delegate who can be part of the 300+ nominating HRC delegates: SDs, pledged (elected) delegates from the Congressional Districts, at-large delegates and one other I can't remember right now.  There is a separate petition for each category.  Delegates: please write to hrc300delegates@yahoo.com to be sure to get the correct petition to sign.  This is important - remember Alice Palmer!!!

Please note that Super Delegates CAN also sign a petition - EWers: please pass along this information and ask them, ASAP,  to contact hrc300delegates@yahoo.com.  Kudos to SD Garry Mauro of Texas for speaking up for a roll call and his support of HRC!

Make the jump to find out which member here made Ricki's blast-out tonight...

4. Obama Throws Texas Under the Bus texan4hillary

Tx dems are getting really angry with Obama. Locally here i know lots of candidates who are struggling for cash because of Obama's decision to opt out of campaign publi funding. now this in today's houston chronicle shows Texas Dems Under the Bus. Obama made great money promises here-probably flipping SDs like state chair Boyd Richie. Now it looks like it was of course a lie he told these guys to get their nods. Hey supers-there is still time. pull texas from under the obama express....

Barack Obama's election proves that any male can grow up to be president, provided he's willing to use misogyny as a campaign strategy.

Is this true? (0.00 / 0)
I just read this in an AP story on yahoo:

"Delegates are not formally pledged to any candidate so Clinton does not need to "release" them to Obama. The rules also say delegates may vote for the candidate of their choice whether or not the name of such candidate was placed in nomination."

So does this mean that even if she doesn't request that her name be put into nomination, the delegates can still vote for her?


Still being a democracy I would think it means they (0.00 / 0)
can freely vote for any of the primary candidates.

'I own my vote' should mean just what it says.

Paul from Friends of Hillary called in and gave some exciting insights (at about the one hour mark at the link provided).
