The democratic party is at risk at losing 40-60 million votes in the presidential election in November if they do not stop insisting that Ms. Clinton step down NOW to insure party unity. What they have done is create an even greater fracture in the infrastructure of our party’s system. Are we to sit back and watch as Mr. Obama is handed yet another silver platter?

We do not HAVE to vote for Mr. Obama in November simply because he is our only choice. And believe me we will not.

Petitions are being moved around the country at this moment to ask the DNC to seat the Michigan and Florida delegates at the Democratic national Convention, and this must come to pass otherwise millions of American citizen’s rights will be directly violated.

We are angry. And we are not backing down. If this persists, Mr. Obama may top out with 30% of the popular vote, if that, in November. Mr. Dean, and Mr. McGovern, and superdelegates like McClellan in Virginia, does that sound like party unity to you?
