This year's democratic primary has been a complete and total clusterfuck. The way the party has comported itself in forcing the nomination of Barack Obama has been totally disgraceful. However, certain people were far more intrinsic to this travesty than others. Wouldn't it be nice to serve up a little revenge?
Superdelegate Donna Brazile has been one of the most odious people to ever involve herself with the so-called democratic party. Throughout the primary, she claimed neutrality while obviously backing Obama. Furthermore, she has treated those who disagree with her with total disregard and disrespect, even going so far as to be one of the first and loudest voices claiming that the democratic party no longer needed certain voting blocks.
She also claimed that if the nomination was decided by superdelegates (which it effectively has been, as an Obama nomination is an overturning of popular vote totals), she would resign her superdelegate status. Donna Brazile has not followed through on her "promise," so don't you think something should be done to hold her to it?
The Confluence has posted instructions for challenging the status of a superdelegate. I am reprinting those instructions here. Effectively, anyone can call for a superdelegate to be stripped of their status by doing the following:
- Write a certified/return receipt requested letter to the DNC demanding a meeting of the RBC conference to strip Donna Brazile of her Super Delegate status.
- Have the letter notarized
- Send to this address:
Democratic National Committee
Credentials Committee
Attention: Alexis Herman
430 S. Capitol St. SE, 2nd Floor
Washington, DC 20003
It is currently claimed that over 70 letters have already been sent. Who's with me in pushing that number into the triple, if not quadruple digits?
PARTY UNITY MY ASS!
