Senator Clinton has graciously changed the form on her web site to direct her amazing and dedicated supporters to sign-up as volunteers for Senator Obama’s campaign. www.hillaryclinton.com
That means we all have new FRIENDS and FAMILY members joining our Obama groups RIGHT NOW!
Senator Obama and Senator Clinton have come together to make sure that we elect a Democratic President in November. They have also agreed to not discuss the VP position publicly because it is their decision alone and they do not want to be pressured by the public, party members, supporters or the press.
We at the grassroots level would be well advised to follow their lead and respect their wishes.
It’s up to us to WARMLY WELCOME all of the new friends and family members who will be meeting us for the first time today.
Since we can’t impact the VP decision and since it could be a sensitive subject we might be better off as a group if we respect the requests of the Senators and refrain from discussing it.
Those of us who might like to help Senator Clinton retire her debt, can do so at www.HillaryClinton.com, those of us who want to contribute only to Barack’s campaign can do so at www.BarackObama.com with the assurance that any money given to his campaign will be used only for his campaign. (Any financial arrangements that might be developed between the two campaigns would not involve a direct transfer of funds.)
Since the decision of whether or not to assist Senator Clinton's campaign with debt retirement is a very personal one that should not be subject to group pressure, I would also suggest that in the name of building family unity we refrain from trying to influence others by expressing our opinions on this subject.
Remember that "words matter" and the words our new friends and family members read in our posts will determine how welcome we make them feel.
In many ways we are all surrogates for Barack Obama. So before we post on any potentially sensitive subject we should pause and ask ourselves, “What would Barack want me to say?”.
Here in Sacramento we are having a “party unity party” on June 12th to welcome Hillary supporters to the team. Those of you in other cities might consider doing the same thing. There is nothing better than a Democratic PARTY!
All together now,YES WE CAN!Bob Hollis
