| I will be filing what is known as an implementation challenge to the Democratic Party's decision to go with a 1/15 primary.
This primary violates the DNC rules. Much worse than that, it violates the delegate selection plan that was adopted by the Michigan Democratic party. Our Governor, Jennifer Granholm, is pushing this primary as a means to advance the candidacy of Hillary Clinton, whom she has endorsed.
As a result of her efforts, those of us who wanted to vote for one of the four candidate who withdrew from the primary now do not have a voice. (Save your breath, Hillary supporters-all of the candidates signed a pledge not to participate in any primary or caucus not sanctioned by the DNC. For Hillary, it depends on what the definition of "participate" is. For the rest of the reality based community, Hillary has violated her pledge). |
| The challenge rules requires the support of 15 members of the state party. I am asking supporters of Obama, Biden, Richardson and Edwards to join this challenge. If you want to participate, please email me at giveusavoice2008@gmail.com.
We were appalled when Katherine Harris deprived Florida Democrats of their vote in 2000.
We were appalled when Ken Blackwell deprived Ohio Democrats of their right to vote in 2004.
We should be appalled when our Governor works to deprive us of our vote in 2008. More importantly, we should fight back. |
