On December 18th, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) took unprecedented steps to deny Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign access to data accumulated through tens of thousands of voter contacts made by our volunteers — supporters like you who power our political revolution.
We need to put the 'Democracy' back in the Democratic Party. Let the voters decide on the nomination, not the DNC!
Why is this important?
Here’s the truth: from the first day of Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign, their continued success has shocked many of the Democratic Party Establishment who would have preferred a coronation over a competitive campaign.
On December 18th, due to a fault in their own technology platforms, the DNC took unprecedented steps to take away our access to data accumulated through tens of thousands of voter contacts made by our volunteers — supporters like you who power our political revolution. In essence, the Democratic Establishment is effectively shutting down our ability to access the information we need for field campaigns and volunteer activities just six weeks before the Iowa caucuses.
We're sending out this petition to the Oregon members of the DNC, who represent us within the national party, to reverse this draconian 'punishment' and put 'democracy' back into the Democratic Party.
DNC members across the country are just as outraged as we are:
As Heather Mizeur, a Committeewoman on the Democratic National Committee (DNC) stated:
"If the DNC doesn't reverse its decision to give the Sanders campaign access to its voter file data again, I am ready to resign my post as a Democratic National Committeewoman from Maryland in protest. The DNC is expected to stay neutral and supportive of all candidates during the primaries and their response to this situation is heavy-handed and ill-conceived.”
We need 'Democracy' BACK in the Democratic Party!
