Somehow, I don't know how they got my email address, I've been recieving these emails a few times per week - they all seem to be asking people to "tell Senator Obama to respect our votes" - is this the repuke party trying to stir things up?:

3. Clinton supporters.

WASHINGTON - Tampa Bay area residents and about 250 other Floridians - most of them Latino - upset with the stalemate over the state's presidential delegates demonstrated outside of Democratic National Committee headquarters Wednesday.

Peacefully chanting, "Florida Must Count!" and "Count Our Votes!" and carrying placards and miniature Florida flags, many of the demonstrators acknowledged they were backers of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.

Organizers, however, depicted the event as aimed at a larger issue, and not intended to boost Clinton....

The way they metion Obama
I figured it was the repukes. It's almost like they blame him for the votes not counting. Sad to hear they may be Clinton supporters.

6. I was hoping for your input, madfloridian.
It seems to me they are just trying to throw a wrench into Obama getting the nomination.

7. Florida voters don't deserve to be heard! Their leaders are their own fault.
Florida and Michigan Democrats are every bit as much to blame for the decisions of their leaders as average Americans are for the War in Iraq.

Punishing Florida voters for the FL GOP's decision to move up the primary is the same as punishing ALL Americans for Bush's bombing of Iraq. Since your leader did it in your name, you did it yourself.
