Letter to the superdelegates
By-the-way, the Clinton campaign referred to superdelegates as automatic delegates...I guess because they are automatically delegates by virtue of their positions.

Here's the letter:



You, the automatic delegates, have the awesome responsibility of making sure the Democratic Party puts forth not only the candidate who can win the general election, but the candidate most qualified to lead our country in these perilous times.

I believe one of the greatest perils this country faces is not from terrorists but from the economic crisis and challenges this country faces and I truly fear for our country if the next president is a candidate who is very short on experience.

George Bush promised us unity and non-partisanship: "I want to change the tone of Washington to one of civility and respect. I work with Republicans and Democrats to get things done. I am the hope candidate. My opponent is anti-hope and doesn't want to reach for the stars! I am the candidate of change, hope, and by electing me we can turn the page on the bad past!"

As we all know George Bush didn't work out very well for this country.

I'm not saying Mr. Obama is George Bush. What I am saying is that we need more than pretty words. We need proved experience and leadership such as has been demonstrated by Senator Hillary Clinton.

You, the Super Delegates are our last line of defense against a Democratic nominee being chosen by Republicans crossing over to vote in OUR primaries as well as Independents who may or may not be there for the Democrats in the General Election.

I urge you, I beg you to not be swayed by the clamor of great speeches and rowdy rallies and choose the candidate who has the knowledge of the issues, the knowledge of the world, and the ability to turn this country away from the abyss of economic disaster, health care crisis and who can protect it from threats from abroad and within.

Sincerely,
***********

4. Submit your own letter to Web site Delegatehub.com/contact/
Here a small excerpt of my letter to the Super Delegates
(Automatic Delegates):

My hopes are that the Pledged Delegates from the major states
of Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, along with the judgment of
the Automatic Delegates will carry Hillary Clinton to the
Democratic Nominee. Hillary is needed by the Democratic Party
to overcome the presumptive Republican nominee John McCain in
the General Election. Experienced Democrats ought to realize
that experience will be essential in winning the ’08
Presidency.
