Press Release Summary: Let the democratic voters in Florida and Michigan Vote.
Press Release Body: Austin, TX, March 23, 2008 - Viewpoint2, a newly formed online community forum has opened a website at www.viewpoint2.org. The site plans to collect 500,000 signatures demanding that the National Democratic Committee (DNC) allow the citizens of Florida and Michigan to vote for the democratic presidential nominee of their choice.
We believe "the DNC is denying the citizens of Florida and Michigan the same democracy that the men and women of the U.S. Military die for, and are severely wounded, to secure for the people of Iraq and Afghanistan." We also believe, "the DNC has created a shameful situation with long term negative consequences for democracy in this country and around the world."
While some people argue that Florida and Michigan broke the rules and should be punished, a supporter of the petition drive said "it seems pretty un-American to not count the votes of the citizens of Florida and Michigan. The average voter never had a chance to decide one way or the other about moving or not moving the primary date in their state. The Democratic Party should have known that there was going to be an outcry when they decided to disenfranchise hundreds and hundreds of thousands of voters."
We urge the voters of this country, regardless of party affiliation, to go to www.viewpoint2.org and sign the petition. If this situation is not openly corrected with free and fair elections, the United States will lose the moral and political authority to champion democracy around the world.
