I have written to the DNC and Howard Dean on several occasions regarding donations to the DNC. My reply has been and will always be the same. I will not support the DNC in any way until there is a FAIR resolution concerning the disenfranchisement of millions of voters in FL and MI. If the resolution doesn't involve every vote being counted and all delegates being seated accordingly, I will not only not support the DNC financially, I will no longer remain a Democrat. Please know that I am far from alone in this. I know of many who have already changed their affiliation to Independent and I am, like so many more, right behind them. We WILL NOT FALL IN LINE! The DNC has offended deeply with their undemocratic actions throughout this primary season. We find it extremely insulting when it is demanded that this nomination be "wrapped up" before every state has the opportunity to participate and exercise their right to vote. This election is not a game. We demand to be respected as we make perhaps the biggest decision we will ever make. I would like all DNC members and officials, superdelegates and all other politicians to remember, "For the people, by the people." You work for us. If we are treated unfairly, there will be a massive defection from the Democratic party to that of Independent. It will ultimately be the DNC who will be held accountable for dividing, if not destroying, this party. Please step up, do the right thing, and honor the will of all people.
Sincerely,
