My email to the DNC in support of Hillary
As I continued my hours-long lazy Sunday breakfast/internet scanning, I plopped onto www.hillaryclinton.com to see what angle her site had today. The main thing was a plea to email the Democratic National Committee to urge them to seat the Michigan and Florida delegates. OK, I can do that. Sure. Here's what I fired off in under 10 minutes off the top of my head (giving my full name and email, so SOMEONE in Democratic circles will finally hear Gary's Voice of Reason; I'm hoping for a TV pundit gig from this)...
While I have issues with MANY ways delegates are allocated with the Democrats, the bottom line is that people voted in both Michigan and Florida...AND THEIR VOTES SHOULD BE COUNTED. It's outrageous in general that they wouldn't be seated (and Howard Dean is to blame for ALL of this...WHY is no one saying this?), but PARTICULARLY during this historic election year. *And splitting the delegates will solve NOTHING. Blah, blah, Hillary agreed to this set-up in October...who cares...not the point, and WHO could have forseen this close race?Oh, hell, while i'm at it, i'll just say it...CHANGE THE RULES! #1, caucuses are outdated and ASSININE. This isn't Little House on the Prairie times. #2, it should be WINNER TAKES ALL with each state's delegates, none of this ABSURD proportional nonsense. It's so unbelievably assinine to anyone with half a brain, it's hard to believe this is how people are being elected. Unless there's a snowball in hell today, I doubt my little email will change history, but I'm right, and I know it, and the Dems would be wise to, um, wise up in the future. SEAT HILLARY'S DELEGATES!!
