| 103 | Jolyn Liaw | I won't vote for a political party which disenfranchised their own party voters. It just does not make sense to me if vote for it. |
| 104 | Lisa Rajabi | If every vote counts, then the DNC should prove it, and include Florida and Michigan. Put up or shut up !! Democrats are starting to look more stupid than the Republicans. It's embarrassing. |

| 106 | L Langmade | Please support the seating of Florida and Michigan's delegates. Further, i support a fair and just seating of the original votes cast and will leave the democratic party if these delegates are not seated. |

| 110 | Anonymous | Let us not forget the thousands who marched and who fought the good fight so that all citizens in this great country - regardless of race and of gender -- would be included in our election process. |
| 111 | Ed Himes | Our U.S. Constitution, and U.S. Bill Of Rights grants us the right for A L L our voices to be heard. We, the people of the United States of America (you know....the old one, where laws, voting and patriotism was respected) demand that all votes be counted in ANY election. This is FEDERAL LAW !!!!!

| 112 | Anonymous | Without assurance that all our votes will be counted accurately and fairly, we really have no Democracy.
The DNC has disenfranchised millions of America's voters. Democrats should be leading the country in defending our right to vote and have those votes counted.
Either count those votes, or risk the loss of faith in the Democratic Party and loss of party members, donations, and votes. |
| 113 | Christian Canterberry | We must count all votes; the foundation and principals we as Americans have are at stake if we are to proceed forward with discounting 2 of our 50 states (Florida and Michigan).
I Christian Canterberry, petition to have Florida and Michigans votes count; "For it is the right of all Americans to be Heard in these United States". |
| 114 | Hawthorne Angeles | If you believe in change, this DNC rule is a change we need to make it in line with a very important tenet of democracy. We can all try to make changes even as a plain citizen especially as important to our life as this. |
| 115 | Jan Castagnaro | After the 2000 Election Fiasco, it left many Democrats numb and disenfranchised. We saw the candidate with the majority popular vote concede the election to George W. Bush, setting forth the wheels of motion which would deteriorate our country. Still today, many Democrats and even Republican voters, citizens of this United States, question the validity of our election system--it's broken. It also has reflected a great deal of corruption. When "we the people" begin to question the voting process and feel as though our voices are not heard by politicians and those that help manipulate and employ political strategy in order to gain an upper hand in elections, it leads to more disenfranchisement.
Look, none of the Democratic Candidates were allowed to campaign in Florida, and that didn't stop the millions of voters from coming out to cast a vote. They knew what was at stake, they new the importance of voting and they knew that despite their states politicians irresponsible decisions that would strip their state of being heard through a citizens right to vote, they still came out to vote. Their voices overwhelmingly chose Hillary Clinton, and to silence their voices due to dirty politics will forever fracture our voting system and voting confidence. Is that what the DNC wants? Probably so, since they seem to be showing their corrupt sides in this election by actively pushing and bullying superdelegates to support Obama---Why do we have a primary if the DNC already had their hearts set on Obama? Why did they allow millions of people to vote and waste our time when they were going to pretty much push a candidate that many Democrats do not support? Hillary Clinton, like Al Gore, has the popular vote--the popular voice of "we the people" have voted her as our choice she has over 17 million more votes than Obama, and yet the DNC doesn't care that she is more electable than Obama.
As for Michigan, the candidates did not have to take their names off the ballot, but Obama chose to do so. It was an unintelligent move on his part, because he should have known better, and for that, he should be penalized. Ignorance should not be rewarded, and it was a bad move that his own campaign strategists should have forecasted, because they should have realized this primary was going to be close and that it would and could come down to overturning the penalty that Florida and Michigan received, a penalty that is unconstitutional as it silences the citizens right to a vote and to be heard.
Senator Obama, and his campaign strategists went after little states to stock delegates in their favor---these states will not go to him in a General Election, and what is more important, is a good majority of Hillary Clinton supporters who have felt this primary was tainted and bias on so many levels will not support Obama and he will lose the states that Hillary did win, those big states that really stack the electoral votes in November. This primary season will leave the Democratic Party fractured. |
| 116 | Lisa | To ensure that this Presidential Election is won HONESTLY votes from ALL 50 STATES must be counted! Full seating of delegates is the BEST way to gain a Democratic victory in The White House. |

| 120 | Amanda Kelim | Not only will it cause a loss of faith in the Democratic Party. It will cause an overall loss of faith in the voting system as a whole. Let's remember that the date in FL was set by a REPUBLICAN. Is this a fixed race? |

| 122 | Geri Wiltshire | If all votes aren't counted, we will not have a president elected by all of the people. This election must be fair and all votes should be counted. |
| 123 | Tyler Meyer | All the votes must be counted, and all of the delegates must be seated in FULL! |
| 124 | kelly stowell | Every vote counts |

| 127 | Anonymous | I believe that Florida and Michigan votes should be counted too. This needs to be a fair election. This is a democracy and this needs to be done now. |
