Howard Dean is personally responsible for the loss of the presidency in 2008 and the destruction of the Democratic Party. He has to go. Donna Brazile should be kicked to the curb also.

Howard Dean must resign after the general election in order for me to remain a Democrat. Dean is a coward. He didn't stick up for Hillary Clinton when she was attacked with some of the most vile sexism I have ever seen in my life. He didn't stand up for the voters in Michigan and Florida who were disenfranchised.

The nomination process at the 2008 convention was fraudulent. The roll call vote was a sham. This party trashed the votes of millions of Democrats, and manipulated the roll call. I am disgusted. I have been a registered Democrat since 1968. A madman took my candidate away that year. The party removed my candidtae from contention this year. Shame on you!

I have been a loyal Democrat all my life, but this November I will proudly vote for McCain in order to protest the stealing of the nomination for a totally unqualified candidate. Dean, Brazile, and Pelosi all ought to be ashamed of themselves - but I guess since the three of them, and Donna in particular, have decided to reject lifelong party members (we were told to stay home, remember?), you will have to get along without us. PUMA!

Howard Dean, you let the most qualified person to run this country be disgraced and humiliated by her own party. I'll be campaigning strongly here in upstate New York for John McCain/Sarah Palin. Hillary 2012

We need a leader who is committed to fairness. The primaries made me disgusted. What a joke. Howard Dean should resign.

I respectfully request that you resign from your position at the DNC and encourage the others in the leadership that are responsible for the destruction of the party to do so as well. I have changed my registration to unaffiliated, and will not be returning until the corruption is purged from this party.

We need a democratic party that can not be bought. This can not continue with Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Barrack Obama...nothing but cheaters of the American public. Try to win honestly.. then we might have a democracy. These people should be in jail not in the Congress.

I am a life long Democrat and I am appalled at what this party has become. When I was a child I was inspired by John Kennedy. If he were running today, John Kennedy would never be able to make it through the primary process. THis party is absolutely pathetic...

The whole Democratic Party Primary was a farce, and, for that, Howard Dean should resign.

For the brazen manner in which you led the Democratic (hah!) Party to ignore the will of an unknown number of constituents, and looked the other way when caucus fraud was suspected, you really deserve jail time. However, I'll settle for your resignation.

I think Howard Dean should resign he stole the election from the people by having caucauses which were full of fraud, I think he is despicable, and he needs to resign now.

I agree with this petition that Howard Dean should resign his position as the DNC head immediately. The behavior of the DNC towards their more qualified candidate Hillary Clinton was deplorable and unforgivable. I will not be voting Democratic this election cycle and I will not consider any Democratic candidates until Dean has been replaced.

This year's Democratic primary was an exercise in voter fraud. As a Democrat I was appaled to watch the "show" at the convention. You stole my primary vote but my choice in the general will nullify your deceit.

Howard Dean actively hurt the Hillary campaign by claiming rules and their effects not yet in effect that would kill the Clinton Momentum - as he actively promoted the Obama campaign, thereby violating his role as chairman. His smug "I don't watch cable" response as to why he supported those that screamed about racist comments - even when Hillary was making none, but ignored the media's sexist comments, was and is beneath contempt.

Howard Dean is a disgrace to our party. He has participated and contributed to the commission of fraud on the voters. Howard Dean has not stood up for our Democratic principles and has encouraged and supported a communistic regime in our politics. He must be removed from his position as Democratic Party leader immediatley.

Mr. Dean has no integrity. He has proven he can not be trusted to lead the Democrat Party. He has been an accomplis in the distruction of the party. In my opinion he is guilty of treason to our party.

As a voter and former Democrat, I demand Howard Dean be removed from his position as Chair of the Democratic Committee. The flagrant fraud and bungling of the Democratic primaries under is leadership was reprehensible and he must be removed immediately.

I've donated to McCain today and in the "referred by box" I put your name. Every time you'd say something bad about Sara Palin, John McCain gets $100 from me. All of Hillary's followers will do the same. Yesterday, he raised $7 million. Guess why? He gave us what we wanted - a woman. See you in Pennsylvania where I'll be campaigning for McCain. And all of us women will be at the polls wathching, lest you think sending the thugs to pull the same fraud you pulled at the caucuses.

The corruption that has become an integral part of the Democratic Party must be stopped. The first step is to replace all of the leaders of the DNC. And you, Mr. Dean, are at the top of that list.

Howard dean has lead the Democratic Party down a path of corruption that will cost us the election in November . His failure to ensure fair and legal voting in the caucuses and his blatant early support of an unqualified candidedate served to influence primaries and resulted in serious offences to Democracy . I request that he immediatly resign . Sincerely, Kimberly Cooper

Strong armed tactic will not stand in the Democratic Party, that's the Other guys. Howard Dean and Donna Brazile need to step down and let the party members have a say in primary elections once again. We will never be united behind these overbearing party splitters. Nobama!

I have been a life long Democrat. The Democratic Party is now totally corrupt under Dean pelosi kennedy kerry Reid Brazile etc. they all must go and one man one vote put in. NO MORE CAUCUSES. NO SUPER DELEGATES. the people must choose the nominee and not kennedy. this is all about kennedy controlling the party. kennedy chooses the naminee that is why we keep losing. let the people decide. I now favor each state winner takes all. The party must move to the center away from the socialist marxist communist ideology of Obama and Kennedy. I believe Kennedy chose Obama 4 years ago and had his books written just like JFK did and used it all to pull a big con game over the entire country. Kennedy obviously picked Kerry and Dukakis. It is all corruption. Hillary should have been the nominee. all the attacks on Hillary were directed by Kennedy and Obama. a disgrace upon the people of America. Obama had so much money he bought Delegate votes with cash. Pelosi also bought votes. If a district voted for Hillary and Obama and Pelosi gave money to the delegate to vote for Obama that is corruption. all those delegates should be voted out of office. Since Hillary won Mass then Kennedy and Kerry must be voted out of office. Other representatives need to be voted out also. There are many Democratic groups working to defeat Obama. Join one of them. Let the corruption know that it is not acceptable. We must demand honesty in governemnt or else we will wind up like Russia.

Well Howard you did it . In a year when the Dems should be mopping the floor with the gop you have made it impossible. Your obvious backing on Obama over Clinton was so obvious. You sat quietly along with Donna B and many others while the msm made sexist comments about the strongest woman candidate this part has ever seen. You sit must go! As your favorite Obama commentator would say, "you sir are the WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD" Please step down and give this party a chance

Howard Dean is incompetent and is the ineffective person to ever serve as the Democratic Chair. He was unable and/or unwilling to make a leadership decision to seat Florida & Michigan leaving it to the candidates. It was obvious from the beginning that Chairman Dean supported Obama and Obama was unwilling to have those delegates seated until after he was "Selected" as the nominee.

Any true Democrat is appalled at what you have done to the DNC and the primay procedure. Every American who died for this country, beginning with the Revolutionary War gave his life for the right to vote, to have a government in which he can freely express his beliefs, to have fair elections and "No Taxation Without Representation", and also to ensure that no state leaves the Union. How could you create and cling to party "rules" that contradict these essential principles? Florida and Michigan voters deserved full representation in chosing a presidential candidate, irreparable damage was done by even delaying it. The 50% compromise is a deep shame that the party will carry forever, and McCain will use to his advantage every chance he gets. I cannot begin to consider voting for Obama until you resign. ( And I vote EVERY election, 1980 was the first time, up until now aways a straight Dem ticket.)
