does a *statement* or petition to the DNC exist?
Advertisements [?]
I came here today wondering if there were a petition to the DNC (or Howard Dean) where I could express how unhappy I would be if the will of the people were subverted by superdelegates and that I would have to consider not voting in the general election if that were to happen.

A search brought me to this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=4519131


In it, cloudythescribbler says: "Possibly, someone could draw up a NON-candidate-partisan statement, including both supporters of HRC AND Obama etc, and collect signatures insisting that if either candidate gets a clear majority of the pledged delegates THAT HAVE been awarded during the primary campaign, the Democrats should unite behind that candidate. Then I have no doubt that Brazile would sign it and publicize it, and that Howard Dean would at least lend a receptive ear.

This statement would HAVE to be available for more than the usual 24-48 hour time limit on Democratic Underground, a policy that would require at least SOME active cooperation from the site Administrators. (Someone on especially good terms with them might approach them perhaps even with a draft of the statement)"


That's exactly what I'm looking for. I agree completely. And, like jefferson_dem said in the thread, "The Party should expect a severe backlash if the SDs don't do the right thing."

My question is: Does a petition like this exist either within DU or somewhere else?
Any help would be appreciated.
