It's time to let the "superdelegates" know that we will not be disenfranchised by them. The Respect Our Vote Petition is an incredibly important step for pro-democracy activists to take.
Dear Superdelegate to the 2008 Democratic Convention:
I am calling on you to ensure that our votes count.
Presented with two strong candidates, millions of voters have cast their ballots with a passion and enthusiasm not seen in decades. Yet we now face the possibility that 796 party insiders will decide the Democratic presidential nomination.
We must have a fair nominating process where the voters choose the candidate. The unity of our party and the strength of our candidate depend on it.
Respect our collective choice by casting your vote for the candidate who has won the most pledged voter delegates.
Sincerely,
[your name here]
I couldn't have said it better myself. We the people need to make a stand against this kind of blatant political corruption.
Sign the Petition!
Thanks again for providing concrete steps we, the people, can take to try to make a difference. A tiny bit of empowerment through these actions can lead to bigger things. The Blogswarm is a great endeaver as well. I'm still trying to figure out how I can make a worthy contribution through my blog and keep the commitment the blogswarm movement requests.
