Every vote counts!

Dear Hillary Clinton:

First, I need to know, how did you get this e-mail address? And who gave you my phone number? For the love of Allah, please stop harassing me!

For the record, I am not a low-information voter, so this BS doesn't fly with me. I lived in Florida during the illegitimate primary. There was no contest for the nomination, and everyone knew the votes wouldn’t count (hence my move to PA). We both know that had Obama campaigned there, he would have closed up your lead. And Michigan? I'm not even going to dignify that one with a response.

If, as it seems, this is a desperate ploy to catch Obama’s massive lead in the popular vote, I must advise you, since your million dollar consultants apparently didn’t clue you in, this is a delegate race; you are wasting your time peddling this scam. Also, of course, we can't ignore the hypocrisy that this specious argument reeks of--you are seeking to disenfranchise the caucus states. I realize you believe this pitiful argument might sway some superdelegates, but, again, they are also high-information voters.

Unlike 2000 and 2004, there aren't enough low-information voters this time to offset those of us who are paying attention. So, I’m sorry that you made a bad bet.

It’s 3 am--go back to sleep and get some rest, because soon you'll be busy stumping for Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

Take care,

Bob HUSSEIN Sackamento

Dear xxxxxx,  

It is a bedrock American principle: we are all equal in the voting booth. No matter where you were born or how much money you were born into, no matter the color of your skin or where you worship, your vote deserves to count.

But millions of people in Florida and Michigan who went to the polls aren't being heard. As it now stands, the delegates they elected won't be seated at the Democratic National Convention in Denver this August -- and that's just not fair to those voters.  

The people of Michigan and Florida must have a voice in selecting our nominee for president. I have repeatedly called for seating their delegates.

Soon, the Rules and Bylaws Committee of the Democratic National Committee will hear challenges regarding the seating of Florida and Michigan delegates.

It is critical that the DNC make a final decision in May before the final primaries in early June so that Florida and Michigan voters have a say in deciding our nominee.

Send a message to the DNC telling them that you support seating Florida and Michigan delegates at the convention -- and the decision should be made soon as possible this month.

This is such an important principle, and I appreciate you standing up with me and the people of Florida and Michigan.

Sincerely,

Hillary Rodham Clinton
