Everyone just loves to viciously attack me and my grammar, or just mention the ‘Rules’ again and again, but what about the Voters?

Would you like it if you went to the Polls and excitingly (if not hypnotically) Voted for Barack Obama, only later to be told your Vote just doesn't count?
The Voters did not change the Primary Date; therefore, they should not be punished.

The only question I have for my fellow Democrats is - what if the shoe was on the other foot?

I thought Our Party was the Party of INCLUSION and getting the Disenfranchised and those on the fringes of our society a voice and making sure that every Vote cast is counted. Have we as a Party not learned anything from The Last Two Presidential Election Results in Florida and how angry and resentful we all were?
Now, in 2008, we are telling those same Voters to stay out of the Primary because of the ‘Rules,’ and that the Democratic Party has its own priorities and FLORIDA & MICHIGAN just simply Doesn’t Count???!!!

Shame on Us!

We Need 2.5Million Signatures to Protest Voter Suppression!

PROTEST Voter Suppression of 2.5 Million Democrats by Democrats!

Join us as we Demand the DNC and all of the Democratic Party Super Delegates and Voters to let the Voices and Votes of our Fellow 2.5 Million Voting Democrats in Florida and Michigan be counted for the Candidate of THEIR CHOICE.

As Loyal Democrats we can not sit by if our Party turns on its own and chooses to deny the Votes of nearly 2.5 Million Democratic Voters and for their Vote not to be counted. If you sanction this blatant use of Voter Suppression any longer you leave any true Democrat no choice but to "CHANGE" their Party Affiliation from Democrat to Independent in Protest.

Only then will the Democratic Party be forced to once again earn our Votes and Loyalty; not just take us, Hillary, and especially Florida and Michigan for granted any longer.
