To: the Democratic National Committee
WE, THE PEOPLE need to decide elections, NOT "Super Delegates"!
The whole concept of "Super" delegates is completely undemocratic.
The Democratic Party needs to be more accountable to ALL voters and stop catering to special interests.
We need more direct democracy and transparency in our elections and less influence by corporate and vested interests.

Why is this important?
We are ALL affected when we feel our vote should count, but when that vote may be swept away in an election where "Super" Delegates are being given an out-sized role and voice that outweighs the choices of individual voters, it is a major concern and frustration.
"Super" Delegates are often Democratic Party officials and those with a particular agenda. They are not chosen by the public and may unfairly sway elections to reflect the wishes and positions of those connected with party politics rather than the will of the electorate.
The whole presence of such insider "Super" Delegates reduces the integrity of the process and appears questionable to those of us who want our vote to matter.
The Republican Party does not use "Super" Delegates, and there is no good reason why the Democratic Party should be using "Super" Delegates, which sullies and undermines the whole democratic process.
We are asking the Democratic Party to do away with "Super" Delegates and to reduce their status to that of Regular delegates.
ALL delegates should be of equal influence and status when it comes to representing voters.
