A very specific action alert!
[April 26 - UPDATE: Yesterday, after this action alert was posted, the RCB released a memo announcing a meeting to address two complaints. It is not clear from the memo whether the Florida superdelegates' complaint is one of the two to be addressed. The RCB meeting is scheduled for May 31.]
For some reason, the Democratic National Committee seems unwilling to act on its own rules.
Yesterday, at a strategy session I attended in Washington, DC, Clinton campaign director Terry McAuliffe alerted those present that two superdelegates from Florida had filed a formal complaint with Party's rules committee board, which is refusing to count them. Regardless of the status of the seating of the Florida delegation, it is a violation of DNC rules to refuse to seat the Florida's superdelegates (superdelegates are not chosen by primary). Guess what Howard Dean is doing? Refusing to refer the complaint to the rules committee. Terry urged everybody in the room and everybody we know to contact the DNC and specifically ask that the RCB address the complaint filed by the two Florida delegates. The telephone number for the D.N.C. is 202-863-8000. Call and simply say that you want to make sure that the Party's rules committee addresses the Florida superdelegates' recently filed complaint immediately.are the preferred method of contact because they get the most attention, but I did post a comment with Howard Dean's email address.
Please call today and if you cannot do so today, the D.N.C. is open tomorrow, Saturday!
