HELP DONNA BRAZILLE KEEP HER PROMISE TO QUIT THE DNC Posted by geeklove08 on August 7, 2008
The steps outlined in the video to pressure Donna Brazile to keep her promise are:
1) Write a certified & return receipt requested letter to the DNC demanding a meeting of the Rules andBylaws Committee (RBC) to strip Donna Brazile of her superdelegate status.
2) Have the letter notarized.
3) Mail to this address:
Democratic Nat’l CommitteeCredentials Committee Attn: Alexis Herman 430 S. Capitol St. SE2nd FloorWashington, DC 20003
Paul also said that the DNC has received about 74 of these letters. Let’s make sure that they get more!
It is time to take our democracy back.
"We cannot go forward until Florida and Michigan are taken care of, otherwise the eventual nominee will not have the legitimacy that I think will haunt us. I can imagine the ads the Republican Party and John McCain will run if we don't figure out how we can count the votes in Michigan and Florida." Hillary Clinton
(CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama said Sunday that delegates from Florida and Michigan should get a "full vote" at the Democratic convention this month.
"I believe party unity calls for the delegates from Florida and Michigan to be able to participate fully alongside the delegates from the other states and territories," he said in a letter to the co-chairs of the Democratic National Convention's Credentials Committee.
TOO LATE BO, MUCH TOO LATE.
Obama asked the committee to pass a resolution when it meets on August 24 to give each delegate a full vote.
TOO LATE BO, MUCH TOO LATE.
Florida and Michigan were stripped of their delegates as a penalty for holding their primaries too early. During the primary season, there were growing calls to seat the delegations as Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton were locked in a tight race for their party's nomination. Obama and Clinton were about 100 delegates apart in March, and Florida and Michigan's cache of 366 delegates had the potential to shake up the race.
The battle over the states' delegates became a key issue on the campaign trail. Clinton had long advocated seating both states' delegations. She won both primaries, but the Democratic candidates had agreed to not campaign in the two states and she was the only top-tier candidate on the ballot in Michigan.
Clinton's message that "every vote should count" became a key theme in her stump speeches. She accused Obama of being "un-American" for not backing plans to hold a revote in the two states.
The Illinois senator denied claims he was standing in the way of revotes.
LIAR...LIAR...LIAR...LIAR
"I want the Michigan delegation and the Florida delegation to be seated. And however the Democratic National Committee determines we can get that done, I'm happy to abide by those rules," he told CNN in March.
LIAR...LIAR...LIAR
After months of wrangling over what to do, the DNC's rules and bylaws committee voted in late May to reinstate all of Florida and Michigan's delegates, with each getting a half-vote.
In his letter Sunday, Obama said all the delegates should be seated with a full vote for the sake of party unity. IT'S TOO LATE!
"As a candidate for the nomination, I supported the DNC's efforts to establish and enforce a schedule for primaries and caucuses that would broaden the opportunity for Democrats from all regions of the country and all backgrounds and walks of life to have a meaningful voice," he wrote.
"As we prepare to come together in Denver, however, we must be -- and will be -- united in our determination to change the course of our nation. To that end, Democrats in Florida and Michigan must know that they are full partners and colleagues in our historic mission to reshape Washington and lead our country in a new direction."

I got whiplash from him saying so many opposing things. Then I got pissed because he, the news media, and other unnamed politicians are lying tails off. I want to know why these idiots are telling me it will take ten years to get results from drilling offshore? I refer you to a site Poliitical Junkee, article "Offshore Drilling Part 2"
On September 5, 2006, Chevron and its partners,Devon and Statoil, announced the discovery of a hugereserve of oil and natural gas in the Gulf of Mexico inthe Walker Ridge Area which is about 270 milessouthwest of New Orleans and 175 miles off the coastof Louisiana. Production would probably not start until 2010 at the earliest with full production notuntil 2013 at the earliest.
Most of the research has already taken place, and 2013 is 5 years not 10. Some one needs to give boy a lesson in arithmatic and geography.

I started this blog because I believe the DNC was unfair not counting votes or having new primary in FL & MI.
I did not become disillusioned with Senator Obama until he started making fun of people who wanted the votes to be counted or a re-vote. Then, through a little digging and a few phone calls, I found out that Senator Obama was THE reason FL & MI could not have new primaries, he & his "people" blocked every effort. Hillary, on the other hand has fought for voters' rights for many years. Hillary heard our voices (the invisible). Hillary spoke out to have the votes counted. Obama just kept making fun of us. And his "hired bloggers" are abusive to anyone who dares disagree with HIS views.
Well, now that Senator Clinton has suspended her campaign and Senator Obama is the nominee(?) who did not want my primary vote, but now he wants my vote in November...NO WAY, Jose.
I am passionate about loving my country.
I live in Florida and we are very sensitive about votes.
Because I love my country, I put country before party. That is why I am supporting John McCain for President in 2008. Senator McCain crosses party lines because he puts country before party.
