Clinton Supporters Want To Take Nomination Fight to Denver

June 10, 2008 (LPAC)--Political action committees are organizing to urge Hillary Clinton to take her nomination fight on to the Democratic National Convention in Denver in late August.

People United Means Action, which describes itself as "completely grassroots,” is taking a multipronged approach: urging people to write protest letters to Democratic National Committee Chair Howard Dean, withdrawing membership in the Democratic Party and re-registering as Independents in states where there are no upcoming Democratic primaries, requesting refunds for contributions made to the DNC, and reaching "Unfaithful Superdelegates” whose constituents voted for Clinton, but nonetheless have, for now, committed to Barack Obama.

PUMApac's website says that it expects to have 100,000 members by the end of today.

Another committee, Hillary Rapid Responders, is reportedly circulating petitions to encourage Clinton to continue the nomination fight, as well as petitions to have Obama select her as his running mate. The Rapid Responders’ site features Hillary's eight-page campaign Economic Blueprint. (A recent Pew Research Center poll showed that 88% of Americans consider the economy to be the top 2008 election priority.)
