Don't seat my delegates. The National Democratic Party makes it very easy for me. As a Democrat who always votes straight ticket, you might be surprised that will simply be voting for the REPUBLICAN candidate in the Presidential Election and, further, I will be voting straight-ticket Republican all of the way.
What the DNC needs to understand is that it does not matter if Obama or Clinton wins the party's nomination. Seat our delegates unconditionaly. No new primaries in Michigan and Florida. No new caucuses or "firehouses". As Carl Levin said, "Given that 600,000 Michigan voters participated in a primary that was held in accordance with Michigan law, it seems to me that it would not be practical or fair to throw out the results of that election".
Accept our delegates as elected in the States of Florida and Michigan. If the DNC does not, it makes our decision as voters easy. If the DNC does not seat our delegates they are turning their backs on the people of the State of Michigan and the State of Florida. In turn, we will turn our backs on the DNC. My mother is 87 years of age and never thought that she would live to see the day that she would cast a vote for a Republican - let alone in the Presidential Election. Well, she has. It is her intention to vote straight-ticket Republican as well. She feels that if te DNC does not seat her choosen delegate, she might as well vote Republican. Another relative, "Well first it was Dade County and now is is the entire State of Florida". I hope that all persons who voted in the primaries in Michigan and Florida not contribute to, support nor vote for the Democratic Candidate for President (regardless of who win's the party's nomination) unless the Michigan and Florida delegates are seated - unconditionally - as elected. No new primaries, caucuses or firehouses.
