Blair's response to my previous posting showed that--once
again--I failed to be a clear as I should have been. Among other
things, Blair rightfully raises questions about implications of
my posting I neglected to address.

The Committees of Correspondence specifically passed a resolution at the
national convention in July rejecting an endorsement of Clinton. This
was linked to resolutions supporting organizing in bringing together the
