Walk a Mile in Our Shoes!
By PaganPower on May 22, 2008 at 5:14 PM in DNC, Democracy, Florida, Michigan, Women
Some wonderful women have come up with a very creative and fun way to express to the DNC just exactly how we all feel about the DNC’s decision to disenfranchise millions of American voters. And how we protest loudly as they participate with absolute silence when the ugly face of misogyny has become commonplace and acceptable within this nomination process. I am certain that this is something everyone should participate in.
Tell EVERYONE!
And make sure you visit their website.
Walk a mile in our shoes!
Starting today, right now, this very moment there is a movement going on! Can you hear the rumbling? Thousands of women just like you are rushing to their closets and finding the perfect pair of shoes to send to Howard Dean and company over at the Democratic National Committee – Deadline to send your shoes May 31st (however, keep those shoes coming until Hillary has the nomination)
See the details on our website – http://www.walkamileinourshoes.org/
1. Voters Rights
The DNC has a duty to support voter’s rights for Florida and Michigan. We are requesting that the DNC enfranchise the voters of MI and FL, who did not agree to give up the right for their votes to be counted. Please seat all our MI & FL delegates. When the actions or decisions of a few individuals, regardless of their official roles can strip the citizens of the right to have cast votes counted – then we no longer live in a democracy.
2. Women & Families are Significant to the Democratic Party – Don’t underestimate us!
The estimates of votes from caucus states disproportionately disenfranchise women, working Americans, families with children, the elderly, and others in Senator Clinton’s significant base. Don’t underestimate the importance of women, working Americans, families, the elderly, and most others – we are a sizable portion your constituents. We are concerned that the Democratic Party is walking away from its base, from most of America. Don’t walk away from [the base that will greatly contribute to our win in November!] our winning base!
3. The Good of the Party
It is in the Democratic Party’s interest to take a clear look at Senator Clinton’s phenomenal connection with the very same broad base that the party has sought to attract for decades. Senator Clinton is winning the popular vote. She is winning the base we must have. She will win the general election.
