FLORHAM PARK, N.J., June 30 NJ-DenverGroup-formed
FLORHAM PARK, N.J., June 30 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Denver Group
was recently formed to ensure that Howard Dean and the Democratic National
Committee conduct the Democratic Party's presidential nomination process in
keeping with democratic principles at the Party's convention this August. This
means an open convention, which includes Senator Clinton's name on the ballot,
allowing speeches by Clinton supporters on behalf of her candidacy, and the
taking of a roll call vote, all of which is the norm.
The Denver Group (www.theDenvergroup.blogspot.com), organized by Marc
Rubin and Heidi Li Feldman, is a non-connected committee, established on June
24, 2008. It is not affiliated with Hillary Clinton for President, any
candidate for President, or any political party. Contributions per individual
may not exceed $5,000, and the Group may not accept money from corporations or
unions. Contributions will be used to accomplish the organization's goals
primarily through advertising and media outreach.
"The Democratic Party has an obligation to adhere to democratic principles
and allow the delegates Senator Clinton earned, which represent more than 18
million Democratic primary voters, to be counted in a roll call vote and for
superdelegates to be able to cast their votes for the candidate of their
choice at the convention where it counts," said Rubin.
The Denver Group, in existence only a few days, has already begun
receiving donations as well as support from concerned delegates and citizens
who are deeply disappointed with the DNC.
Marc Rubin, who leads The Denver Group's media effort, started his career
in advertising. He was an award-winning art director and writer, working for
some of the top advertising agencies in New York and Los Angeles. He was also
the head writer of "The White Shadow," an acclaimed primetime network drama
series as well as others. In May, Rubin worked with Count The Votes Cast to
create print and broadcast ads relating to the effort to seat Florida and
Michigan.
Heidi Li Feldman is a professor of law and associate professor of
philosophy, on the faculty of Georgetown University Law Center. She holds a
law degree and a doctorate of philosophy. Dr. Feldman currently fundraises
for The Denver Group and to help retire Senator Clinton's primary campaign
debt. She participates in the daily activities and decision-making of The
Denver Group.
