Attend the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee Meeting

To Everyone: Please give this request your serious consideration. If you are willing and able, join with other concerned citizens and stand up for the Rights of the Disenfranchised May 31st.

[UPDATE: Please also sign the petition on Hillary's website demanding that the voters of Florida and Michigan Count: FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN DESERVE TO BE HEARD]

On Saturday May 31st, the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee (RBC) will make a determination regarding the status of MI and FL voters at an open meeting. As Democrats, the Party of the People, we stand for the principle that every vote must count. Consistent with this, we believe the DNC must seat the delegates selected by the Michigan and Florida voters. We believe that anything short of counting the votes and seating the delegates as voted, is a violation of the fundamental civil rights and civil liberties of MI and FL voters, and an affront to us all.

We must not allow our party to do to itself what the Republicans did to us in 2000.

We must make our voices heard–and we can do so by traveling together to Washington to attend the MAY 31 meeting, which begins at 9am. The Ad Hoc Committee to Count Every Vote is offering r/t bus transport leaving Grand Central at 2am on Saturday, May 31 in order to arrive in DC around 6am. This will give us some time to get organized to enter the meeting or gather outside. The buses will return to Manhattan leaving DC around 2pm. The r/t cost is $48.

For those who want to make their own travel arrangements, we are able to offer a group of rooms at the Hilton on Connecticut Avenue for $139/room, including tax, on Friday May 30, and on Saturday night May 31. In order to secure this rate I must have your reservation and payment

by Saturday May 17.
