The superdelegates have formally committed to the protocols we outlined. We will monitor the floor proceedings to ensure these standards remain fully intact.
We want the superdelegates to play the role they\'re supposed to play in the democratic nomination. Superdelegates, as current or former party leaders and elected officials (PLEOs) are there to use their independent and tried and trusted judgment to monitor the nominating process and to make tough decisions with the best interest of the Democratic Party at heart. Because they are themselves previously elected officials, they do represent the voice of the people, and play an important role as a check and balance in our Democratic presidential nominating process. We\'ve given money--and time--to Democratic candidates and causes, and we\'ll support others who stand up for the rules agreed to by all adherents to the Democratic Party since 1982. We want the Superdelegates to continue to monitor the process and want to remind them that even though many have made public endorsements, they are not bound in any way, shape, or form until they cast their ballot at the Democratic National Convention in August 2008.
We are approaching the one hundred signature mark which serves as our baseline requirement for formal delivery to the DNC rules committee. I am drafting a cover letter for these signatories and need us to hit this threshold before I submit the document to their office.

The process is broken if they just follow the establishment instead of the folks on the ground. Wake up.

Ridiculous that this is even a debate. Superdelegates need to respect the primary results or why even have us vote???

Exactly. They are supposed to be a check on the system not just another cog in the machine. Do the right thing.

So tired of the party elites thinking they know better than the actual voters. We pay the bills we deserve to be heard.
