DNC stance surprises campaigns

It's no wonder Hillary has a smile on her face this week.



"The Democratic National Committee said Tuesday that Florida and Michigan members will be seated on the three standing committees — including the critical Credentials Committee—at the party’s 2008 national convention, a position that could affect the selection of the Democratic nominee. While both states were stripped of their delegates to the convention, according to the DNC’s interpretation of party rules, members from those states will be seated on the Credentials Committee. The Credentials Committee, which can meet prior to convention, resolves disputes over whether to seat delegates at the convention."

This could mean that the Clinton supporters on the Credentials committee from the other states could join together and out vote the Obama supports to set the Florida and Michigan delegates, and if that were to happen, Hillary could steal the lead from Obama in Delegates and popular support. If this happens with delegates that Obama never had the opportunity to campaign for and challenge Hillary for in those states, I for one will no longer be a Democrat.

If this happens I urge all Obama supporters/delegates to walk out and return home and register as Independents or the Green Party. I suggest we look at the states that the green party is not on the presidential ballot, and start passing around petitions to get the green party on the ballot for the presidency. Then cast a protest vote for the Green Party.

As a Alternate District and State delegate for Obama I will not support a DNC or the Democratic party that allows Clinton to steal the nomination from Obama. If he is not he nominee, that is the only way Clinton can take it away from him.

Join me in watching the Convention in Denver and if it happens let us walk out in protest. Let us show not only the democratic party and republican party our outrage by not giving either our vote, let us unit in giving it to a third party.

If you have any suggestions for an alternate third party to consider post to my blog and share it with us. At this point I'm open to consider any third party. Although the Green Party is more like what our democratic party use to be, is why I chose it for now. Check it out.
