The unseating of Florida and Michigan Delegates: My letter to every DNC leader.

You cannot, I repeat, CANNOT allow Michigan and Florida to revote unless the process is funded by the states themselves. To say that they can't revote with their own funding would be problematic for our party as it would be seen by the public as disenfranchisement despite the fact that the rulebook was right there. The leaders of these states made the choice to disobey Democratic election rules and were even warned of the consequences. The DNC should not fund these elections in any way if they are to occur. The DNC should make the case against the leaders of these states that brought this upon themselves. The voters in Michigan and Florida were disenfranchised by their own leaders and not by the DNC or Democratic party. This point needs to be driven home by DNC leadership. Leadership should also squelch Hillary Clinton on this matter. Despite what she and Bill have done for this country they are now tearing the Democratic party apart with partisan politics and failing to adhere to DNC rules that were CLEARY stated ahead of time. Their consistently claiming wins for the states are a slap in the face of the party and shows acceptance of the breaking of party rules. The Democratic party has a chance to seize the day and change America for the better through Barrack Obama. He has more delegates, nearly a million more popular votes, and a clear and indisputable lead in this race. As the race continues the funds that would roll over to the general election are being depleted because of one particular sore loser. Even as we speak the chance of McCain winning grows greater as we fight amongst ourselves and all due to the stubbornness of Hillary Clinton.


I hate the term cut and run because of the way it was used against us for wanting to protect our troops but I can assure you of one thing; I WILL cut and run from this party if leadership allows for these injustices to continue due to weak leadership from you Mr. Dean.


I am and have been a registered Democrat for all 13 years I have been eligible to vote. My opinions are not shared by most people in my state and I can assure you that this situation allows for strong convictions on my part. We cannot allow Hillary to tear this party apart. Failure to curtail her antics will further destroy America as a whole once McCain and Bush’s policies are re-elected. We can’t allow this to happen my friends, we just can’t.
