Picketing the DNC

Hundreds of activists from across Florida are planning to picket the Democratic National Committee next week, demanding that the DNC recognize the state's Jan. 29 primary and give Florida a say in the Democratic nomination. "It's Democats and Republicans saying how dare these parties decide what votes should count and what shouldn't.They may have a right to organize and create rules but what they cannot do is take away my right to have my vote count,'' said Millie Herrera, president of the Democratic Hispanic Caucus in Florida, who might find a judge or two who would disagree.

With funding from the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), some 10 busloads of picketers are expected in DC April 30, and Herrera insisted that it is not a pro-Clinton effort. The coalition of groups with the quaint notion that Democrats should want to count all the votes includes LULAC, the Hispanic caucus, the Florida Voter League, the Southern Leadership Council, and Florida Demands Representation.

"This is not about candidates, it's strictly about civil rights,'' Herrera said. "We we have African-American Obama supporters who are planning to go."

The Do Nothing Commies now have the illegals up in arms. Great leadership guys. If you cannot rule yourselves, how can you rule this country?

just get the group that planned the Martin Lee Anderson protest in the streets of Tallahassee.... that would work

Oh please. Clinton had decades of free press from being married to Bill.

All the Democratic candidates were gagged and prevented from campaigning. All the voters were told the vote would not count.

How many frauds is Hillary Clinton willing to commit to be able to keep her husbands records secret LONGER by being president. What are they so desperate to hide?

When she only had one thing to pass -- healthcare -- she failed miserably. Now she bills herself as wonder woman and lies about sniper fire risk to back up her phony "tough" image.

She had no SECURITY CLEARANCE in White House. If Bill told her anything they both belong in jail.

Shame on Hillary. She slows progress for women who EARN their chance to run.

The DNC Charter and Bylaws does not authorize the reduction of one's vote to nothing.

The candidates themselves do not have the power or authority to disenfranchise voters.

The candidates themselves do not have the power or authority to say each gets half of the delegates regardless how 1,750,000 Florida Democrats voted.

The DNC Rules states that the superdelegates "shall" be delegates.

The DNC Rules states the penalty for violating the timing rule "shall" be a 50% reduction in the pledged delegates.

In short, Michigan and Florida should always have been awarded delegates. The DNC Rules Committee needs to repair the damage it has done.

With respect, I am,

Shame on the real witches on Larry King last night. Richardson and Wexler.

Wexler" PA is not real significant, it has to been in context...but let's not talk about Florida.

Richardson: We don't want to debate we had 20 debates, we don't want a redo.

Hey use this in context:

You are both up for re-election right?
Use that in context when you loose because you do not stand up for the people of the DEMOCRAT party.

Wexler, did McCain promise you a job just in case Obama Wright is not elected?

Let's elect a real Democrat and not this phony...District 19 constituents

Hillary Clinton:

"It's clear this election they're [Michigan] having is not going to count for anything."

Clinton is a dirty dirty hypocrite.

The Democratic Party is NOT democratic. It is the second biggest vote voider in American history--behind only Jim Crow.

It doubles some voters votes. It halves other voters votes. It holds caucuses when the polls close to water down other voters votes. It empowers insiders appointed by the party to act as free agents independent of any voter.

Right now, a silent auction is going on for the nominating votes of the "superdelegates." It is exactly the kind of back room corruption the primary system was intended to displace--jobbery, robbery and snobbery running the Democratic Party that used to call itself the party of reform and civil rights. You can't be for civil rights if you void the one right on which all others depend--the right to have your vote counted.

Why does anybody still want to be associated with this clown pile of gormless self-servers?

Was that direct enough?

When Jim Crow laws were in effect in the South, Democrats dominated the politics of those states.

No Drama - No female candidates.

No Drama - Vote Obama!

Great! this is just a preview of what the colorado convention will be like - democrats picketing democrats! life IS great

I wonder where Hillary, and the Hundreds of activists from across Florida, were when the Legislature and Chuck were pulling this off to begin with.

OH, that’s right, everyone thought the white wench would win… never mind.
