Hillary Clinton DU Group?

[leyton]

Anyone here interested in a group whose purpose is:

to discuss the life, career, and accomplishments of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton; to discuss her upcoming Senate re-election campaign and future political prospects; to provide a home-base for those wishing to combat the smear campaign against her and her husband; and to discuss media articles about Senator Clinton.

[mourningdove92]

1. I would be interested.

I just sent her office an email regarding this business of the Republican Party claiming to speak for God.

[Catchawave]

2. Count me in, she's long overdue for a dedicated group here!

[Rowdyboy]

3. I'm game....

Count me as a supporter of a group.

[Goldeneye]

4. Sign me up.

Its about time she had a group.

[Catchawave]

5. *kick* and weekends are probably slower for group

support requests, so, I'll try and help you keep this thread kicked to keep you on the front page ! Timing is everything here, don't feel bad :)



:loveya: for Hillary. It's also April 15th, I'd say about 98% of DUers are at the post office right now :)

[leyton]

7. haha thanks

I appreciate your help! I was actually wondering if there were even ten people on DU who like Hillary at all.

[Catchawave]

8. Please don't worry.....

Out of 68k members, I'm sure there's at least 10, or we're screwed! LOL.

I do believe timing is everything, weekends usually do slow down, even for Brittany is Pregnant *weekend* threads <snork>.

Goodness, gracious, I remember the Mark Warner Group getting enough hits in 10 minutes!

Timing...I'll watch yer back !

[wyldwolf]

6. count me in

[mourningdove92]

26. Looks like we only need one more

Come on DU'ers.

[MollyStark]

9. I am not a donor but if my vote counts

and helps you get your group, count me in.

[Catchawave]

10. I think a star is required to count Molly...:(

I don't think they "cost" very much, but if you need a sponsor, you can pm me :)

[Catchawave]

11. A Saturday morning *bump* for Hill

[Adelante]

12. Yes, I would like to be in on this

Thanks for proposing it. :)

[Bombtrack]

13. Isn't fox news doing a good enough job of getting her nominated?

They only report every day in one way or another that she WILL be the nominee and that all democrats are just googly-eyed in love with her.

[leyton]

15. I am trying to establish a place on DU where we can talk about Hillary

in a positive manner. I hope you'll stop by.

[Adelante]

16. She's an important Democratic leader, Bombtrack

She deserves a DU group. It's not about the nom.

[MollyStark]

23. She may not be my first choice, however she is preferable to Clark

So I hope she does run.

34. It's the

Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems

[Crunchy Frog]

36. LOL!

[MollyStark]

35. No it doesn't which is the problem you have with me

[WI_DEM]

14. I don't know if I'll support her for the nomination, but she deserves

a group especially since she is the front runner for the Democratic nomination if she does run. So I support establishing a DU group.

[wyldwolf]

17. status?

[leyton]

18. I'm hopeful but we need four more people to sign on.

According to the DU rules, I have to have ten donors sign on. So far I have mourningdove92, Catchawave, RowdyBoy, Goldeneye, WesDem, and WI_Dem. So I need for more people to sign on and then I have to get approval from the administrators; I am confident that we will get the group though. :) Thanks everyone who was signed on so far, it is good to know that Hillary has some friends/supporters on DU.

[CTyankee]

19. It's a great idea

We need a concentrated effort to be effective against the RW machine that will go berserk if she runs.

How much does one have to contribute to DU to count? I am semi-retired and on a very fixed income but I might be able to help.

[leyton]

21. I don't know that there is a set amount.

Check the "donate" link at the top - there is no minimum.

[bling bling]

43. Looks like someone gave you a star.

So now you can be officially on the petition!

[bling bling]

20. Count me in, too.

I'm a long time admiror and defender of Hillary.

[leyton]

28. Unfortunately Hillary also needs defending here on DU.

Republicans attack her, but I think she gets a raw deal here too. I'd like to have a DU group where we can discuss Hillary's record and have a repository of information on her, so that maybe DUers will see her in a better light.

[Catchawave]

22. *kick*

[Crunchy Frog]

24. I probably won't be participating in it but,

she probably should have a group here, so you can count my star.

[Catchawave]

27. I think Hillary deserves a DU-group too....

:kick:

I'm an Edwards supporter, but I love all the Dems equally. Hope that made sense!?!

I mean, if we can't build a support system...via DU Groups...for our fav Dems, how else will we build our Party?

[tishaLA]

29. I think a H.R.C. group is a great idea

I probably won't participate, but she is one of the most staunchly pro-choice voices we have in the Senate and she deserves some support for that alone.

[bling bling]

30. kick

[Adelante]

31. I count 11

I think you can submit now, Leyton. :hi:

Thanks for doing this.

[leyton]

32. Kick - we need more people who will be active participants.

If we don't get anymore, I will submit - but the rules ask for ten people who will participate in the forum, not just ten people who want one. Thanks to all who have signed on, hopefully by tomorrow we can submit!

[Adelante]

33. Whatta bunch a big mouths

;)

[Adelante]

37. kick

:kick:

[realFedUp]

38. well, of course

I still don't know where these "support" groups
are meeting, but if she runs, she'll be the
candidate IMO.

[leyton]

40. They're down in DU groups, a ways down on the main page.

There's a jillion of them.

[itcfish1]

39. Count Me In.

I really respect and admire Hillary. The Smear campaign is just outrageous, expecially with the likes of Tom Delay deciding who is moral and who is not.

[ArkDem]

41. Yes. Hillary is quite a woman!

[NoPasaran]

42. Sign me up

I'm not saying that I'll necessarily support her in 2008, but Senator Clinton is one of the leading figures in the Democratic Party and I'm surprised that there isn't already a Hillary Clinton Group.

[Connie_Corleone]

44. I'm in. n/t

[leyton]

45. I'm submitting - but don't let that stop you from signing on here

if you're interested in participating. I am also submitting the original post as the mission statement.

Thanks all!

[Writer]

46. I am all over this like a bed of satin sheets. (n/t)

[skoppa]

47. Count me in.

I would love to be in this group and here other Lady Clinton supporters. I don't find many people around here.

[patricia92243]

48. I'm amazed she does't have a group. Just assumed she had.

[mourningdove92]

49. Thanks Leyton. You did a great job.

I also agree with your original post being the mission statement.

Will be checking DU groups daily. The mods are pretty fast around here. When I proposed the DIY/Home Improvement/Crafts group, they got it up and going a day or so after I submitted our mission statement.

I am looking forward to enlightening, productive, conversations about a woman I greatly admire.

[leyton]

50. Thanks!

Thanks for your support and your help keeping the thread going!
