PUMA Pac

People United Means Action or PUMA is a United States Political Action Committee formed by Hillary Clinton supporters who were upset at the procedural choices of the Democratic Party.

The acronym PUMA originated from - "party unity, my ass" - used on many pro-Hillary weblogs after Barack Obama was declared the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party in the general election. Will Bower will through his support over to Presidential Candidate John Mc Cain due to his frustration with the Democratic Party. A more family-friendly version emerged when PUMA PAC registered with the Federal Election Commission in June 2008.

The stated goals of PUMA PAC are as follows:

1. To support the candidacy of Hillary Clinton

2. To lobby and organize for changes in leadership in the DNC

3. To critique and oppose misogyny, discrimination, and disinformation they believe to be present in the mainstream media, including mainstream blogs and other outlets of new media.

4. To support the efforts of those political figures who have allied themselves with Hillary Clinton and who have demonstrated commitment to their first three goals
