After your Primary Vote: Vow to CHANGE Your Party Affiliation from Democrat to Independent in Protest of the 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.


Stop Voter Suppression of nearly 2.5 Million Voters, please read and sign the Petition below before its too late.


We will pass this petition on to the Candidates and the DNC for all of the Democratic Party Super Delegates to consider; its time they face all of the Party or loose us.

Your continuing choice to condone the use of Voter Suppression must not be allowed to tear our party apart any further.  Democrats must not slip away to McCain, his ties to the Christian Right and the Importance of The Supreme Court Appointments is far too high a price to pay for your misguided mistakes.

It was Michelle Obama who first withheld her support for Hillary Clinton if she were to win the Presidential Nomination and could not even see Hillary as the VP if she where to loose. So you have to ask yourself, Why then should we support Michelle Obama and her elitist husband?

Hillary must be on the Top of the Ticket to beat McCain.


Since when do Democrats support Voter Suppression, We Must Let Every Vote Count!

I think it is so wrong to not count the MI & FL votes. I'm ashamed of the Democratic party. I have been registred as a Democratic since I was 18 yrs. old and now 44 yrs. I'm thinking very seriously about leaving this party because it has became a joke of a party.

Florida and Michigan's votes should be counted. Regardless of whether they campaigned or not the majority of voters had already decided who did they want as President. It is unfair not to count all the votes of all states. It doesn't matter if they voted early, either way they were going to vote. It is unbelievable how this is aloud. What is the purpose of encouraging all citizens to vote if they are not going to count the votes. I would expect this from Republicans but from Democrats?

Howard Dean Democratic National Committee 430 S. Capitol St. SE Washington, DC 20003 To Howard Dean and Members of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), This is to inform you that I have officially denounced the Democratic Party and changed my political affiliation to Independent or other*, effective this first week of June, 2008. My reasons are numerous; beginning with the fact that it is readily apparent the Democratic Party leaders have their own agenda. Unfortunately, that agenda will cost the Democratic Party the White House in November. The Party no longer represents what is best for the people of the United States- as it clearly plans to disenfranchise more than 2.5 million voters of Florida and Michigan. I cannot and will not subscribe to a party who patronizes us by stating delegates “will be sat as long as it doesn't alter the outcome”. In addition, I am deeply concerned about the DNC's obvious endorsement of Sen. Barack Obama. This premature, albeit unofficial, endorsement has done a disservice to all Democratic Presidential candidates and has played a major role in sweeping an unqualified, unchallenged, and unseasoned candidate to the forefront of a presidential race he cannot win. Sen. Obama lacks the experience, fortitude, and stamina to withstand what will face the Democratic nominee in the General Election. His severe lack of judgment in his personal and business relations have contributed damaging fodder for not only the media and opposing Democrats, but for Republicans, and we have only scratched the surface. The DNC must recognize that the media's on-going love affair with Sen. Obama will end the moment he has the nomination as they are almost all right-wing outlets. Election and polling records provide proof positive that Sen. Obama cannot win states that are crucial for a Democratic victory. Contrary to David Axelrod's assertion that the Party does not need Senator Clinton's solid base to win the General, the Party does need that base and the stats confirm it. Sen. Obama has also alienated an abundance of Sen. Clinton supporters who have stated they won't, and will not support him in the General Election; that number exceeds 38%. That is a huge gamble for the DNC and I assure you, Sen. Clinton's supporters will follow through. We will not unite behind Sen. Obama. Despite all of his assertions that he is a great unifier, Sen. Obama has done the exact opposite in these past months. He has succeeded in dividing not only the Democratic Party, but to pit race against race, young against old, and men against women. I will not support Sen. Obama as a presidential candidate and I will not be "coming home," regardless of who assumes the Democratic nomination. Should Sen. Clinton succeed in obtaining the nomination, she will have my full support. However, any financial contributions will be made directly to her campaign and not to the DNC. She is the only Democratic candidate that has the ability, experience and fortitude to beat Republican nominee, Sen. John McCain. The GOP has voiced this concern repeatedly, recognizing that it can soundly beat Sen. Obama but beating Sen. Clinton would prove virtually impossible. I would hope that at this crucial juncture the DNC will do the right thing by seating the Florida and Michigan delegates, by giving voice to the voters of those two states. The DNC must ensure that it puts forth the Democratic candidate who is most prepared, most qualified, most vetted, and most able to beat Sen. John McCain in the General Election, she who exercises the best judgment and exhibits the most concern for the future of this great country! Sincerly James B. Hija life long democrate and patriot

I feel that the Democratic National Committee is in the wrong if the votes of Florida and Michigan are not counted, as everyone's voice should be heard, no matter when their votes were cast. It is wrong that the Democratic National Committee has stripped the two states of their say as all men are created equal, yet states like Iowa and New Hampshire and those states that voted before Florida and Michigan are apparently not equal if their votes are counted, those states must be superior to the rest of the country. Perhaps the Democratic National Committee feels they can win the general election with the support of only those superior states. If the voices of the voters of Florida and Michigan are not heard before the Convention, then I will no longer support the Democratic Party! I will become an Independent, I will vote for another candidate, and I will write in a candidate if I choice to. The main reason the Democratic Party is splitting is because of the Democratic National Committee, Howard Dean and Nancy Pilosi, and anyone who is or has tried to end the Primary early and not allow everyone's voice to be heard. My feelings are not based on which candidate I support but based on the fact that denying anyone the right to vote goes against their constitutional right. The Fifteenth, Nineteenth, Twenty-Fourth and Twenty-Sixth Amendments give every man and woman over the age of 18 the RIGHT to vote, and the Democratic National Committee has taken that right away. Do the right thing and make sure that everyone’s vote, in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and territories of the United States, are counted and actually have meaning behind them.

The day the Democratic Party chooses Obama as its nominee is the day I register as an Independent. It is ironic that after the election of 2000, they can even entertain the thought of not counting Florida.

Does ANYONE in the New Progressive "Party" know or care about what sort of HELL they are putting us Democratics through? We are now FACED with an impossible decision that we should NEVER have been ASKED to make To leave the party of our lifetime of loyalty and affiliation Or vote for someone who we KNOW IN OUR BONES is not that short of The Enemy of Our Country? He has...said so...in his words and in his writings From His book, Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction" How is THAT acceptable talk for a...president? And, for being outspoken enough to SAY so, I am SO sick of being called a racist and a bigot! I have never been THAT in all my life! Barack Obama has set it all up so perfectly with his full and ready deck of RACE CARDS his political two step of intimidation and guilt to keep us from Talking about the very thing that we ALL know is true This man does NOT love Our Country...enough It's not that we think Obama IS a practicing Muslim It's that we KNOW he LEANS toward Nation of Islam!!! And it's NOT that he's a Black American it's that he LEANS toward The Black Panthers Obama swaggeris on his dias before us saying PROVE to ME you are not RACISTS Prove to ME you are not BIGOTS Vote for ME you typical bitter white people! We know this is an INSANE situation!!! The definition of Cognitive Dissonance The Proverbial Double Bind America's No Win Election of 2008 If Obama can DO this as a candidate what could he DO with...real power? Our Country is UNDER terrorist attack That much is STILL very very true! And, sure, nations make peace...eventually We are now normalized peaceful allies with England and Japan, Germany and Russia As we may someday be with the Muslim Nations And we CERTAINLY don't WANT to go BACK to those dark days of interrment and profiling or concentration camps or McCarthyism I surely HOPE not!!! But during WWII The American People would NOT have been ASKED to vote for candidates of Japanese or German extractions During The Cold War there would NOT have been A Russian or a Cuban on the ballot In the sixties it's not likely we would have elected A Cambodian or Vietnamese President And no real offense would have been taken by our good citizens of those nationalities They would have simply...understood that in THAT time and THAT place some things would NOT have been...appropriate to ASK of a fair minded American People We are NOT asking the Democratic Party for permission to be bigots or racist! (it seems sexism still NEEDS no permission!) We're not vowing to NEVER vote for a Black or Muslim But we are NOW AT WAR with Islamic Extremists Muslim Nations have VOWED to exterminate us! So it's called National...Security Something the Republicans seem to...get Which is WHY a Prisoner of War will be President And not a man who finds Audacity....a good thing America needs to feel secure right now Do you feel [safe] with Barack Obama? I KNOW I WON"T!!!!!!!!!!!! and I will change my democratic status and go to republican and vote each time to rid democrates from office in every election... I want hillary r clinton to be our president and florida and WI votes counted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! deana lagreca

I wish all DNC endorse, support, and vote for Hillary Clinton to be our next President of the United States. She is the only one who can get this country back to normal. Obama will make a bigger mess and hypocryply uncaring for our being, our welfares, our children futures. Wake up every body. Don't be a zombie walk around with 2 eyes open. See that Obama only fooling around with our lives, blame every thing on every body else especially on The Clintons who try to clean up the Bush's messes. Diss Obama NOW or we will diss each of you off your post!
