Count Our Votes Rally--May 31

Members of the Black Sheep Delegation are traveling to Washington DC to attend the May 31 meeting of the DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee. This meeting will determine the fate of the Florida and Michigan delegates. We will deliver the petition signatures and demand that our voices are heard and our votes are counted.

Hillary Clinton made a speech in Florida yesterday about the importance of our franchise:



Hillary made a beautiful, poignant argument about why our votes should be counted. It's one that I've been making all along: the voters shouldn't be punished for actions that are beyond their control, especially when 'teh roolz' that prohibit that action are being changed and applied arbitrarily to game the system.

The voters aren't responsible for the pissing contest that is going on between the DNC and the state Democratic parties, yet we're are the ones being pissed on.

This issue shouldn't be about a candidate or even a political party. It's about democracy. As long as someone is eligible to vote, no rule or restriction, such as voter ID, should prevent them from doing so.
