A Vermont Super Delegate Overides the Majority Vote
Vermont voters pledge not to vote for Senator Leahy, if he does not pledge his Super Delegate to the winner of the primary.
Why is this important?
Senator Leahy, you said even if Bernie Sanders wins the Vermont Primary, you will give your Super Delegate vote to Hillary. However, on March 1st, if the majority of Vermonters vote for Bernie Sanders, it is your responsibility to give the Super Delegate vote to Bernie Sanders.
Your constituents are your first and foremost priority. This petition is not about Democrats or Republicans. This is about a promise an elected official made to represent the voters. Your constituents have entrusted you with a responsibility to speak for us.
On March 1st, if the majority of Vermonters vote for Bernie Sanders, and you choose to override our vote, is it no wonder that people feel their votes do not count? Could this be a reason why people choose not to vote?
"We The People" have pledged that if you do not give your Super Delegate vote to the winner of the primary, then come the general election in November of 2016, "We The People" pledge that we will not give you our vote.
