An Unreasonable Hillary Supporter

Got the PUMA letter below via email and think it is a great and easy action item. During the campaign I always promised myself to at least do one thing for Hillary's campaign each day. Now let me promise myself to do one thing for democracy or to help right one injustice everyday. I used my own media list too and sent the letter below. I recommend you do the same so that even more media outlets are made aware of the activities of the PUMA coalition.

By the way, I watched "An Unreasonable Man" a documentary about Ralph Nader. The documentary exposed the Democratic Party's successful effort to marginalize Ralph Nader by making him the scapegoat for Al Gore's loss of the Presidency - complete with a stunning quote by a former hero of mine Jimmy Carter. He told a very large audience of people that Ralph "should go back to checking the rear ends of cars" (paraphrasing). The documentary also exposed how the Presidential Commission on Debates is controlled by big business. In light of this I feel I need to investigate some more and might consider voting for Nader and Gonzalez in November if I can't vote for Hillary. I am somewhat familiar with Matt Gonzalez as he is a San Francisco politician and I live in the Bay Area. He definitely scores points for being hot! Anyways, he was one of the few San Francisco latte liberals that didn't drink the kool-aid and came out AGAINST Obama early on with a scathing critique of his words and record in "Count Me Out - The Obama Craze."

I need to understand more about John McCain's position on LGBT rights before I would consider voting for him. I like John McCain. I trust John McCain. I know John McCain loves and has served his country honorably. But I will not support anyone who does not support something as fundamental as my civil rights. It's just that plain and simple. So more investigation is to be done on this issue for me as I don't know enough at this time.
