Hi, Howard,

I know you probably weren’t going to respond to my earlier email as the middle of the 2008 campaign is very busy and you are a very busy guy. But it occurred to me that perhaps I wasn’t explicit enough when I indicated I was looking for a satisfactory resolution to the question of seating the Florida and Michigan delegations. In particular, I want you to know that I will be looking for evidence that the decisions were made by the Rules and Bylaws committee pursuant to and in consideration of the DNC rules (2008 Delegate Selection Rules for the Democratic National Convention). To the extent that I find the process by which this is done to have been manipulative or in a manner which defeats the expressed desires of the Democratic voters of the states in question, you may rest assured that I will sit out the 2008 election as far as the DNC is concerned.

I will continue to support candidates of my choosing, but I will not provide any funds whatsoever to the DNC to use as it sees fit. As I mentioned earlier, I cannot tolerate any actions which I perceive to be anti-democratic and I will not reward those I believe to have been active participants in executing those actions. It’s a simple matter of trust. If you cannot be trusted to do the right thing, I cannot believe that your decisions regarding use of funds provided by me are worthy of my trust.

Again, I’m sorry to have to take this stance, but I find the reluctance on the DNCs part to promptly address the situation, and under your leadership, I might add, to be very distressing so far. I expect you to deal with the campaigns in an open and forthright manner and to make a decision which is in the party’s best interest, not necessarily in the interest of any particular candidate. The best decision right now would be to charge the Rules and Bylaws committee to take prompt and fair action.

Thanks for your attention,
Chuck

Hi, Howard,

Nice to hear from you again. You might wonder why I’ve not sent anything in response to your several request for funds, some of them urgent. I’m waiting. I’ll be happy to send you something as soon as the Florida and Michigan delegations are seated. Right now I’m committed to individual Congressional candidates I like (WA-08 looks like a good place) and to my current choice for the Democratic nomination and to support for my own legislative district organization. But I’m holding back something for the national party as well, and you can have it soon, just as soon as the DNC resolves the Michigan and Florida delegation questions satisfactorily. I understand you told David Bender the other day that it would be June. I sure hope so or even earlier because I would love to send you the money.

I sort of feel bad about not fulfilling and exceeding my pledge because I really want to replace the Republicans in the White House and elsewhere, but I have a little principle that’s just nagging at me. It’s that disenfranchising voters is such an evil, nasty Republican thing, I can’t tolerate it for any reason whatsoever, especially in my own party.

Sorry about this, it’s the principle of the thing. I hope to hear again from you soon, and I hope it’s good news about the Michigan and Florida delegations.

but… when you get the option for directory, choose it and then punch in 22 or 32 and you will get a recording of people with names that begin with those letters and the last option will be Howard Dean’s machine and that contact to Dean accepts messages.

Keep expressing outrage if you are so inclined.

I am beyond containing my contempt.

I was a 2004 elected delegate for my county in 2004 in So.West Fla..
I belong to the Fla DEC..at our last DEC exec committee meetings ..there were not enough Executive voters to have a quorum vote!..

this is in a gerneral election year!!

In 2004 we quadrupled our membership in the DEC..this year..we do not have enough members to do a legal vote!

so Dean , Brazile, and Obama may have manipulated our nomination, but they have also destroyed the Dem party in Fla that many of us have worked our asses off to rebuild and poured a ton of money into..well i for one am not willing to rebuild it again..not today and not tommorrow..let them get the obamabots to put up the money and put endless hours into rebuilding..they won’t of course we all know it..hell we were always lucky if these kids just showed up to vote..and do not think that won’t be the case again..once school starts and the newest psrty gets announced.

But this is one lady who is finished with the Dem party..

i am conveniced now ..there is only one party with one big money pot in the middle..they don’t give a rats ass how much we work..or how much money we give them..or how many banners and how many nights we sit up clearing volunteers for the secret service or house the field reps for them..they don’t give a rats ass..

Howard dean should be fired immediately..this is his baby..and his other baby is Obama..this was planned and executed.

and i am now done with the dem party.

I am now running a campaign to send an embarrassing message to the DNC and the dem party in Nov..since we are the State of Disney World..and this election is all an illusion…my campaign is to write in Mickey Mouse..in november..to send a clear concise message to the dem party..that we will not allow them to do this to us ever again..and they will be held accountable..and if they do not count our vote for the nominee ..they will not get it in November!

MI, FL hearings May 31

The DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee will meet on May 31 to consider appeals from Michigan and Florida, Marc reports.

The challenges — from Michigan DNC member Joel Feguson and Florida DNC member Jon Ausman — ask that the DNC seat all of the rogue states’ superdelegates and at least half of their pledged delegates.
