Press Release for Movement March in front of the DNC...May 31, 2008
Movement March for Michigan and Florida
On August 26, 1920 Women Ended Their Suffrage & Won the Right to Vote...some of those women born before given the right to vote still live. They live in Florida; they live in Michigan; they live to have their voices heard before they no longer live...
"We march for those who cannot march for themselves. We march for those who have been... Punched when they're down, told to go home/quite, voices suppressed, betrayed by their peers, bullied out of their life's work; for those who are fighting for the weaker who have no voice, For those whose voices need to be heard, WE MARCH."
In an effort to send a message to the DNC, this group of marchers intend to become a symbol for injustice in a Unified Front.
Why all the hubbub you ask?
Because on Saturday May 31st, the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee (RBC) will determine the status of MI and FL voters at an open meeting.
"As Democrats, the Party of the People, we stand for the principle that every vote must count. Consistent with this, we believe the DNC must seat the delegates selected by the Michigan and Florida voters," organizer chairman, Ricki Lieberman of New York.
The marchers believe that anything short of counting the votes and seating the delegates, as voted, is a violation of the fundamental civil rights and civil liberties of MI and FL voters, and an affront to us all.
"We must not allow this injustice to occur. Will the DNC party to do to itself what the Republicans did to the entire nation in 2000?
We must make all voices heard and all vote matter--we do so with this Movement March for Michigan and Florida on MAY 31...we do so as the rules committee begins their meetings at 9am,"
states Ricki Lieberman, chairman of the group.
This march is sure to generate buzz as the organizers intend to send Bologna sandwiches to the DNC rules committee to let them know that not seating Michigan and Florida is Bologna. The marchers will also send Lemon-Aid to demonstrate the sour taste left in their mouths because of the injustice in Florida and Michigan. And, there are hints of parading a live donkey as a display of the A__ __ the DNC will be should they not seat those two states.

Maybe it is a democratic nation after all! I say, this is one rally to rally around and let your voice be heard.

You have got to be kidding me? This was something agreed to by every WOMAN and man in charge of the rules. You are wasting our time and destroying our party. I cannot wait through another 4 years of republicans, because you have destroyed the chances of our party to win the White House. I cannot survive the current economic situations. You are causing THIS woman to fear for her future...have fun with your games.

I salute those who participate in the May 31 March in DC, who stand up for the Constitutional Rights of 2.3 millions voters in Florida and Michigan.
The DNC MUST COUNT 2.3 VOTES in Florida and Michigan of the primary.
Please join the March, if you can.
God Bless you and our beloved country, the United State of America.
