You have been blocked from participating in the Hillary Clinton group by one of its Hosts.

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Nye Bevan (a host of the General Discussion forum).

I can't imagine what I have done to be excluded from this group. I am a honest guy who first saw politics from helping my mother with the Hubert H. Humphrey campaign of 1968. 30 Plus years of heavy involvement in the Minnesota Democratic Farm Labor Party. Stints campaigning for Jesse Jackson... where I learned I am somebody...( you never say My name is.. you say "I am"...). I worked with the Jerry Brown Campaign. I ran for Congress in the MN 7th Congressional district opposing Colin Peterson's democratic party credentials... backed away from the party as it got too right wing and now I find people don't want me to comment on Democratic Underground in certain forums... Why... Can't they handle the truth?...

was killed in 1993 by Bill and Hillary. Senator Paul Wellstone said we had the votes to pass it and he was an honest man. I worked on single payer on the grass roots level since 1984 and all Bill had to do was say yes. Instead he appoints Hillary... and her committee basically proposes a non comprehensive plan that was a lot like HMO's and HMO's don't work for sick people only for the insurance companies..

Maybe you said something really dumb like blaming her for being the sole reason we don't have single payer. Or maybe someone just doesn't like you very much?

It comes in handy to keep you from accidentally posting in a forum where you are unwelcome.

are policed with the kind of zealous single-mindedness and sheer paranoia that would profoundly impress the East German Stasi and Ceaucescu's Securitate. Dissent is exterminated on sight, no matter how mildly expressed.
