Dear Democratic National Committee:

I am a Republican. No... I was a Republican until about four months ago. I crossed party lines because the only candidate I believe in happens to be a Democrat. We are not required to have a party affiliation in Michigan. I voted for Senator Clinton in the Michigan primary, as did countless other Michiganders.

Michigan is one of the ten largest states in the United States. We have the highest unemployment rate in the nation, our jobs are being sent overseas, and our economy is virtually at a stand-still. We need real solutions to our problems and a candidate that is willing to recognize those problems. That candidate is Hillary Clinton.

The website for the Democratic National Committed states as follows: We support vigorous enforcement of existing laws, and remain committed to protecting fundamental civil rights in America.

But, Committee Member, this doesn't really appear to be the truth.

With all due respect, I don't care if you have an issue with the fact that my home state moved up the voting date for the Democratic primary. The fact is: I am guaranteed the right to vote by the Constitution of the United States. I exercised my right to vote when I voted for Hillary Clinton in the Michigan primary. I would like you to explain to me how you can take away that right because Michigan voted out of turn? What gives you the authority to tell me my vote will not be counted? To refuse to seat the Michigan delegates is a breach of my constitutional right to vote, as is your refusal to award those votes to the candidate who won them - Hillary Clinton.

The Committee does NOT need Barrack Obama's permission to award Senator Clinton the delegates she won from the State of Michigan. Or the State of Florida for that matter. It is further offensive that the Committee would seek to apportion those votes to give Mr. Obama a piece of the pie he did not earn. It is highly offensive that the Committee would seek permission from a candidate that did not bother to put his name on the ballot in the State of Michigan because he assumed our vote wouldn't count. But, he'll be asking for our vote if he gets the Democratic nomination, won't he? So, please tell Mr. Obama that if he becomes the Democratic Party nominee, my vote won't need to be counted. Well, not for him. Because I'll be voting... you guessed it, Republican.
