...Democratic Party Charter.

I have quoted it a million times:

"Section 4.

The National Convention shall be composed of delegates equally divided between men and women. The delegates shall be chosen through processes which:

(a) assure all Democratic voters full, timely and equal opportunity to participate .....

(b) assure that delegations fairly reflect the division of preferences expressed by those who participate in the Presidential nominating process..."

http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:i1Dy8...

Further, these are "processes" for nominating candidates to the offices of President, Vice-President, and the US Congress - all US Constitutional offices.

As such, they call for elections that must be governed by inherent and explicit constitutional safeguards as any other elections. ALL members must be guaranteed full and equal participation.

"Think process"? No, "process" is what was used to keep blacks and women from voting. Think voting rights. They are the only processes that count.

The DNC cannot make rules that violate the Democratic Party Charter.

You do not punish members of the party for the stupidity of their leaders. Punish the leaders but count the votes of the rank and file membership.

That is the democratic way. Uh, we are the Democratic Party, still - yet?

You cannot exclude 2.3 million Democratic voters from the Primary Process. Check the Democratic Party Charter: ALL members must be guaranteed full and equal participation in the nominating process of the party.

It doesn't say "candidates". It says "members." ALL members!

Only the Democratic Party Convention can change that. And be assured - it wouldn't dare......

- It is an outrage!

See, that is the problem. Citizens willing to overlook assaults on their voting rights as long as such attacks benefit their candidate.

Pathetic, and fatally tragic in a democratic republic.

...."Refused a speaking spot"? Are you serious? Oh, I see. We don't need a unified party to fight McCain and the Republicans.....

I get it.....

...by the credential committee. States have held elections but delegates haven't been certified.

.....neither is there enough awareness and understanding about racism and sexism, judging how those terms are sputtered about on most political forum boards.
