We can not do this over email. Let's discuss by phone. I'm headed to church folks and DWS will be doing her calls. We will find a time when we can all talk and DWS can also give us an update at that time on how her calls are going.

It's still your roll out, your appointments, but you will have validators up front to blunt the attacks from Bernie allies who will claim it's rigged. Having Cummings out gives it credibility, and we can put you out later.

We need to discuss the point of disagreement as I feel strongly the initial rollout needs to be done by me. We can and should do alongside Cummings but I'm not going to hide.

Subject: Platform Rollout Plan

DWS- This is the plan that is being proposed post the conversation yesterday afternoon.

The major change from Friday is that you would not go out on TV.  Everything else is pretty much the same.  Everyone believes (including Hilary and Anita) that you going out tmrw to talk about the platform is not the best approach and we know you disagree.  We also believe this is an opportunity for validators to support you and the DNC and this plan allows for that.  I know you feel strongly about rolling the cmte out on television in your own voice so we need to discuss but the other elements of the plan have not changed.

We will schedule a time for you to talk with everyone involved.
