In the wake of a disastrous defeat and a clear rebellion from regular Democratic Party voters, I am petitioning the DNC to allow it's rank and file contributors and volunteers to have a vote on the next DNC Chairman. Let the DNC propose 5-7 candidates who would be voted on only by those who 1) either contributed to one of our presidential primary candidates; or 2) who worked on behalf of one of them. The DNC surely has all of our email addresses--they have been sending us pleas for contributions for the last year or so. We have clear evidence of malfeasance in the DNC's actions during the primary season and we need to renew confidence in our party. This will be a good start. Is it OUR party or does it belong to a cabal of elites? Please sign and share widely.
Why is this important?
Signers of this petition want the Democratic Party leaders to know that if they want to count on our contributions, volunteer activities, and votes, they need to respect rank and file participation in the decision making process. These decisions should not be made by a handful of party elites.
