To: The DNC and Debbie's House Democratic colleagues
DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ MUST RESIGN HER DNC POSITIONS
Owing to her retrograde attitude towards President Obama's aspirations early in his first term for a new opening to Cuba (Debbie rhetorically carried water for Republican policies of "Nothing good can come out of Cuba" a la Illiana Ross, L and Rep Diaz Ballart) making one uncooperative pocket within the President's own party.

Perhaps in any even more incriminating political act, last week Debbie teamed up with 27 other Democrats swilling at the corporate troughs that gave Boehner the votes he needed to ram through the fast track on TPP, overwhelmingly rejected 10 days ago by a plurality of Republicans and Democrats. In so doing Debbie thumbed her nose at Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and 90% of her House Democratic colleagues, giving the Republicans this win and working families this loss. This is conduct unbecoming a DNC functionary, in my view.

Why is this important?
This petition is about transparency in the standards of political conduct required for a DNC official. If one cannot in good conscience support the majority position of one's party in the Congress, one doesn't continue to hold an office which makes one in effect, a political trimmer or a hypocrite.
