Dear Friend, 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. 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. Click here to join me in showing our support for seating Florida and Michigan delegates at the convention. This is such an important principle, and I appreciate you standing up with me. Sincerely, Hillary Rodham ClintonThat would be the same Hillary Clinton who employs Harold Ickes, one of the DNC members who voted to strip Florida and Michigan of their delegates. The same Hillary Clinton who could've stopped this plan when it was first announced, but only discovered this fervor for democracy when it became electorally convenient. And so, now that she needs something to distract everyone from the fact that Obama is closing the gap in Pennsylvania and is showing momentum among superdelegates, she's promising to make the convention a war. It's the electoral equivalent of "if I can't have you, no one can." Blech.
