With Michigan being the mess it is, we look to ourselves and leaders. As a Progressive Liberal Democrat, it broke my heart to see my party overlook, intentionally, the state of Michiagn. The only candidate to do anything was Dennis Kucinich. I like Senator Obama, yet when I expressed my thoughts on Mi., this is what I got....
"Dear Kyle,
Thank you for contacting us. Obama for America filed paperwork to remove Barack's name
from the ballot in Michigan because Barack gave his word to honor the national party rules
and campaign only in contests before February 5 that the DNC has authorized. All of the
Democratic presidential candidates joined us in making this pledge, and every major
Democratic presidential candidate, with the exception of Senator Clinton, has also removed
their name from Michigan’s ballot.
Barack encourages the Michigan Democratic Party to continue working with the DNC to adopt
a plan that complies with party rules and allows the voters in Michigan to have a voice in
the 2008 nominating process. We hope that Michigan will do so because Barack is eager to
vigorously seek the support of Michigan voters, and if such a contest occurs, we will
expand on our already strong foundation in the state to build a winning campaign.
When Barack is the Democratic nominee, the tens of thousands of people already involved in
our campaign in Michigan will provide the organizational backbone for a general election
victory in November 2008.
Sincerely,
Obama for America"
At what point do "we the people" have a say?
