If Super Tuesday settles everything, as GDP HRC supporters are indicating,

then why the hell does the rest of the country even bother voting in their primaries? Pennsylvania doesn't get its say until late April, but according to the establishment, the dye is cast long before I will get my turn to vote.

Fuck the DNC and fuck the pundits and fuck the screwed up way this sad excuse for a system works.

My April vote WILL count. It will count to me, to my children, to my community and it will be the most hopeful, optimistic, determined vote I've EVER cast.

I'm glad Bernie is in this for the long haul--I am, too.

Things are gonna change.

1. Especially after Bill's in your face electioneering/voter disenfranchisement in Mass.

Some voters were forced to wait for hours, blocked feom the poll so Bill could get on a megaphone and cheer for Hillary.

Others were logjammed when he went inside polling places and generally ground all electio activity to a halt. Oh, and told at least one person inside the poll to "pull the lever for Hillary"

She should have to forfeit all delegates gained in Mass for clear election law violations, and Bill should be prosecuted.

Many people are outraged over this and demanding legal action. Hopefully we haven't heard the last of it.

Petition to arrest Bill Clinton that was posted here last night.

Mar 02, 2016 — You did it... You, through all your diligent effort have brought this petition, Our Voice, to the national platform. This malfeasance, on the part of the Clinton Campaign, will not go unchallenged, we will hold Bill Clinton to the letter of the law, those same laws he served as president himself to uphold and protect.. Please keep signing and sharing..... NEVER BE SILENT, NEVER GIVE UP....


I'm guess the case is being looked at? Who wants to bet nothing happens?

PEACE

is this system making people feel like their votes are meaningless. This primary is the best thing that's happened for our party and democracy in YEARS.
