The notion of super delegates damages the democratic process, and weakens the mechanism of choice. By failing to acquiesce to the desires of your respective states, you undermine the voting system. As elected and/or appointed officials, you are bound by the principle of our nation; to uphold democracy. Super delegate votes should not count more than the general public choice. Should the Super delegates decide the nomination at the DNC without giving heed to the popular or accepted vote, the undersigned will vote for the Republican candidate in the General Election.

I have been reading through the comments and seeing so much genuine frustration about how these internal rules just disconnect the party from the people who actually show up to vote. People keep emailing me their own stories about feeling ignored by the establishment and frankly I am struggling to keep up with the volume of it all but I am glad we are finally having this conversation.

The people voted for a reason. Quit trying to rig the process or you will lose my vote in November.

Fix this mess. My vote should count just as much as some politician behind closed doors.
