We are looking forward to all working together to create a successful Democratic Convention in Denver!
I have been checking on some of your convention concerns and this week's call I hope to have some answers. Lastly, I have a new way of reporting press request and concerns you have with regards to that subject. Please in the future email southerndelegatepress@

First Georgia à la Putin, and now Georgia à la Obama.
I wonder what happens when they don't turn themselves in.... if public humiliation isn't enough?
There's a phone number and conf. ID... Is anyone game to listen in?
Uh, not me. I wouldn't touch the KGB section of the DNC with a ten foot pole; or as they say in my home country (Eastern Europe)--not with a long toilet brush.
Although... It would an experience. And I could just imagine the novel I could write...
I would see it as a badge of honor to be mentioned on the call!
What is this?? Obama's Hall of Shame??!!?
I think all delegates are getting the same email. I'm a Hillary delegate in NC and I got the same email for the NC call.
In GA, pledged delegates are not only expected to in good conscience represent the sentiments of the voters who elected them, according to the DNC Model Delegate Selection Rules; but also, according to GA state law, must represent the will of these voters, through the second ballot at the convention.

Someone should point out this law to the press; Chairman Dean; and the GA state party.
You will be mentioned for what?
This is all bizarre
Very thuggish behavior indeed!!!!
You WILL be mentioned.
You WILL be assimilated.
These guys really scare me.
This tells me that the DNC has lost control of the Borg Collective and can't figure out how to get him back in line. And they can't ask for Hillary's help.
Boy, is this too obvious. Dear Hillary's delegates, we need to identify you as soon as possible. Please identify yourselves so that we may get your cages ready. Plus, we send you different memo responses than the Obama delegates.
These kinds of shenanigans, intended to pressure delegates to climb on the unity pony through less than subtle intimidation, is exactly why I'm dubious that Hillary's name being placed in nomination means anything at all.
So what happens if the delegates state they are supporting Obama, then change their mind and vote for Clinton during roll call.... After all that's what Obama has done with the wire tapping, FISA and public financing....
