Hi All! My first time posting to this forum. Great to see a place for Hillary supporters with No nasty trolls in sight! :)

Anyone know what happened to the blogs at HillaryClinton.com? Could not access the blogs all day Monday. Still not up. Seems very odd right before a big set of primaries! Called the Arlington, VA headquarters Monday afternoon. Spoke to someone who said she had received lots of calls, had no idea what happened, and would let the webmaster know. Did the webmaster take down the blogs for maintenance? Unusual timing for that. Could it perhaps be sabotage? :( OK, I'm really Not a conspiracy theory type gal...But...Doesn't the timing of the blogs going down an entire day on Hillary's main website right before the primaries seem suspicious? Anyone got info on this??

GO Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont!! GO HILLARY!

Welcome Madilyn - glad you found this forum. And yes, no abuse from BO fans is tolerated here. In any form. :cool:

Not sure what happened with the blogs at the official website. Some suggested it might have been to do with the airing of the townhall feature - a way to reduce website traffic. But who knows. Bad timing indeed either way! See the link below for more discussion on this issue:

Thanks, Murray! A BO-free zone--yes, yes!! Really appreciate that you set up this forum.

We'll see if the blogs at the official website are back up later today. Thanks for directing me to the discussion thread.

You're welcome! I am sure the blogs will be back up soon - well at least I hope so! And if you know of others at the official site who would be interested in this forum as well, please let them know. I like being involved in both places.

Nice to have a place to meet up with some of the familiar folks from Hillary's Blog @ hillaryclinton.com.

I hope the rest of the troops make their way here.

Very good feelings from the final phone calling tonight. And my oldest daughter worked for an hour, too. Results--1 Obama supporter between us. All Hillary.

Also, spoke to a young business man in his late 20's on a personal business issue he was calling for and he was from Ft. Worth, Obama country. I asked him how was the election looking. He said he didn't have a good feeling about it. He was an Obama guy.

Maybe all the work we have all done, and the contributions have reversed the tide.

Welcome to the forum. Glad you found us! Be sure to tell others whom you communicate with at Hillary's Blog about this forum - it's good to have more than one home! And thanks for the positive calls update! My allocation tonight left me, seemingly, with the entire extended family of Republicans in Ohio! :eek:

I'm glad to be here, even though I'm totally confused at how this things works.


Murray-Thank you for doing this site, and apparently just in time. Hopefully they will put our blog site back on HRC's site, and we can do double the damage between here and there!

GoHillaryGO!~:)

Bernie! SoCal Carla Rossi in the house here with you.
Thanks for the message you left me this morning on the other site, before it self-imploded. We have all worked so hard, Hillary just has to win tomorrow, or uh, today.

So, regarding that Obama guy, you are saying that he thinks Obama is going to lose?
I'll be at work tomorrow, but I'll be checking back in on this site, this site is great, hopefully I can figure out all the bells and whistles.

Welcome Carla :)

With practice, the forum becomes very easy to use! And it's colorful too! :cool:

I'm glad to be here, even though I'm totally confused at how this things works.Forums are really SO MUCH nicer than blogs for stuff like this! And, as Murray said, once you get the hang of it it's very easy to use. If you're running into any problems, just holler and someone will help out! Feel free to PM me if I can help.

I'm so glad to see lots of folks finding their way here from the HC site. When I first saw that my blog was gone I thought they'd deleted it because I kept complaining about my posts disappearing, and/or because I had put up a post about this forum and asked people to check it out. Really, those blogs were a mess...totally out of control, especially because of the Obama-ites. :eek:

I am still curious as to why the blogs are not back up on Hillary's site. I wish she had a forum like this. The blogs are difficult. This is much easier.

Yup it sure was Murray, thanks so much.

Now I am confused because when you go to the homepage to Hillary's site its donations and nothing else. There is no links to other pages.

They really should have warned people, sent out an email through their network. Something.

I wish we would have known, cause I lost a lot of information. Oh well, I'll get it back.

I think that we should strategize here and if/when the other old blog area comes back, maybe we should keep that for rotating messages for newcomers so that they can get our information and invites when people really show interest in being part of a strategy of team work across the nation.

Yes, we need to strategize. Any ideas? How about just a "Newcomer" link?

Also, if anyone can make calls to Wyoming, please message me and I will get that information to you. The calls are toll free.

I think you are right about strategizing here. I think the blog at the official site got messed up because of all the Obama trolls. I can't get to the groups at the official site either! I hope they get that corrected.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

To all those people who wonder what happened to the join/start support groups on www.hillaryclinton.com
it appears that the blogs were getting abused so they got rid of the entire link.

For any who were group leaders/moderaters of a group on that link, you can email your group members and tell them to join this forum. You can get to your groups with the link below.

There are Obama Bloggers / trolss that write programs to constantly blog Hillary's site so no one can read Hillary Supporter Blogs. That's Liberal Fascism from Obama campaign for you.

It's causing bad traffic on her site.

For the Hill

It's weird to go to that site and see all of our comments erased...it's like a ghost town now...:(

I agree with their decision to take it away... it was getting hard to get our message out! Clearly the trolls were working in shifts and well, it was becoming (for me) more about defending the honor of my candidate rather than exchanging ideas on my candidate's goals !

I am a big Hillary supporter and so sorry to see the blogs gone. It amazes me that the Obama people think it is more useful to spend their time and talent distrupting our site rather than working for their candidate. I am glad that I found this area to exchange positive ideas and thoughts about our girl. I am so excited about the positive developments of the week behind us and look forward to many more on our way to the nomination. I am active on the other blogs although I do find most of them slanted to Obama. I know we are going to win and when it is all over this campaign is going to go down in history as the most one sided media debacle of all time. I make it a point not to engage the Obama people. I set the record straight citing facts and research instead of the rumors and innuendo coming from the other side. I do have to say however, I did mix it up a little with a young girl who had contended that Hillary should drop out as she could only win on the coast like Ca,NY, Fl and Ohio and only because "old people" were voting for her. I told her that this "old person" did not agree with her politics and before she could argue with me she had to look at a map and let me know exaclty what coast Ohio was on. Got a huge chuckle out of that. Anyway I am looking forward to getting to know you all and onward to November

Are trolls also abusing the Hillaryspeaksforme.com site. Maybe with a virus.
I tried twice to view the video of the day and got a short dump each time.

Welcome you two! It's rannie! Glad to have you with us!!
