An Open Letter to the Michigan Democratic Party

Submitted to MDP Website

Dear Michigan Democratic Party:

I am a concerned Democrat from Louisville, KY. I am writing to respectfully ask that you push to have a redo at the polls OR abide by the current situation before allowing the results from 1/15 to stand. I am glad to have the opportunity to vote on May 20 with both of our strong candidates on the ballot.

It's a shame that the decisions of the Michigan Democratic Party to break the national party's rules (which the MDP voted on), stripped so many Michigan Democrats of the ability to do the same. It is unfortunate that so many Michigan Dems will not have the chance to vote for the person the want in the White House, will not be able to vote their conscience and their values, having been forced to vote for "Uncommitted." It would be deplorable and inexcusable if these votes were pushed through to the convention like nothing was amiss in the Michigan Primary.

I fear for what might happen if the current results are put in place as is. The rules will have been thrown out the window along with many a faith in the Democratic process.

Sincerely,

Benjamin G. Randell
Louisville, KY
