SHAME ON YOU DFA!!!!

Is Democracy for America doing the work for the Republican National Committee now??? At a time Democracy for America should be focused on recruiting progressive candidates for offices like U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and Governor down to the State Legislature, I am subjected to this "LET THE VOTERS DECIDE" campaign against Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. I am so disappointed in Democracy for America for assuming that since I am a progressive and a member of this group then I automatically support Barack Obama.

I proudly am supporting Senator Hillary Clinton for President for the same reason many progressives are supporting her....because she can win. She has a record of accomplishment and she is NOT the choice of the backroom deals as Ilya Sheman so shadily has referred to her. 

SHAME ON DEMOCRACY FOR AMERICA! 

So am I to understand that the money and energy I have focused with Democracy for America is now being used as a Fifth Columnist effort against a fellow Democrat?

Do you need to be reminded that Hillary Clinton has been consistently the choice of almost equally if not more Democratic voters than Barack Obama. Also, consistently in DEMOCRATIC primaries where Republicans cannot crossover, or Caucuses where one campaign can pay to flood in their supporters, the winner has been Hillary Clinton.

Also, on the hard issues that are "litmus tests" for true blue progressives like a Woman's Right To Choose, the GLBT Community, or the Enviroment, no truer advocate or defender is there than the honorable Senator from New York, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Not to mention, you cannot accuse Senator Clinton of voting PRESENT on key issues, unlike Senator Barack Obama.

Yes, I support change....with a program backed up by a record of proven accomplishment.

Yes, I believe in hope....and also in the woman who with her husband and an entire administration of talent first gave us HOPE in 1992....HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON.

Democracy for America you have been an organization of change and hope but this recent campaign against a fellow progressive Democrat is shameful and treasonous to our party. Why not just send a check to Senator John McCain's campaign and get it over with!

If you continue to attack Senator Clinton you risk losing me. But I will make sure to make this a ripple effect and make sure plenty of other progressives leave with me. Quit attacking fellow Democrats and get back in the business of ELECTING Democrats!
