FL and MI be counted. We are 50 states not 48.

Just click on "other issues".

1. Done ... thanks for the link.

sent this ...

Some accomodation must be found to seat the FL and MI delegates. ALL democrats have a right to have their voices, and choices, heard ... especially in a Presidential election! This mess was NOT created by the voters and should never have been allowed to deteriorate to the point where their votes would be negated. It was all political power-plays, and maneuvering, and the people should not be expected to pay with their constitutionally guaranteed votes.

2. Thanks.
Just sent them a comment.

I suggested that they check their donation data base before they disregard my comments.

3. Here's my message:
The voters of MI and FL need to have their voices heard. When they cast their votes they spoke for the candidate of their choice and those votes need to be honored.

The Constitutional rights of the voters should take precedent over the self-serving rules set up by the Democratic party power-brokers who obviously didn't have the forsight to envision the conundrum they would create by denying MI and FL the right to seat their delegates.

Cooler heads have NOT prevailed, so far, and meanwhile the people who took the time to vote are told that their votes don't count.

That is not acceptable. The people are being abandoned by their own political party, a party that should be bending over backwards to support them, not disenfranchise them.

Our founding fathers are probably turning over in their graves. What is happening now is unprecedented and inexcusable. The people of MI and FL who voted are the victims here because they went to the polls in good faith.

Time is running out and we need to fix this NOW.

5. Somewhat clumsy but here's my message--
"Whether you care to admit it or not, Hillary Clinton has lot of votes locked in the political nightmare known as "let's ignore Florida and Michigan."

By not counting these votes, Democrat leadership is going against the will of the people. Stop it!"

10. Here's my letter:
I will not donate a single dollar, nor will I lift a finger to volunteer, unless and until the Florida and Michigan voters are afforded their delegates. We are supposed to be the party that is in favor of counting the votes. Perhaps you have forgotten, it's about the PEOPLE, not the state parties and legislatures. I have been a Democrat for more than twenty years. I have donated my money and my time, but I will not stand with a party that turns it's back on so many millions of voters.
