This may be our last chance to make sure Florida and Michigan get a say in the Presidential primary. Anything less than a re-vote deprives the voters of those states their right to contribute to the process.

The following is the message I sent with my signature:
"If the DNC does not correct these wrongs, a serious legal challenge needs to be mounted. Florida and Michigan voters have been stripped of their right to have a say in our nation's presidential selection by arbitrary bylaws of the DNC. This is power the DNC does not possess. Furthermore, if Florida and Michigan votes don't count, there will forever be a feeling the election was corrupt, just like in 2000 when Al Gore won the presidential election, but not the White House.
"Democrats are already divided and this ongoing debacle does nothing to bring us together, let alone give us confidence in our own party. Regardless of how this issue is worked out, I have serious doubts about Howard Dean's ability to lead our party. I once backed him for President of the United States, but now I can't even support him as president of our party. At the very least Mr. Dean needs to step aside, as it is his failed leadership that led to this situation in the first place.
"As Democrats we cannot stand idly by and let this wrong continue. It is against our very nature as Democrats and brings serious doubts at out party's ability to effectively lead this country.
"Florida and Michigan MUST count. Period. Nothing less than a re-vote is fair, acceptable, or Constitutional."
