19. The DNC ruling changed the Charter of the Democratic Party.....
...which guarantees full participation by all members. No matter who agreed to such a democratically repugnant voting rights abridgment, it is wrong.

Consider the Democratic Party's aggressive support of voting rights through the years and tell me again how denying the rights of 3 million Democrats who voted in these primaries is supported by the Democratic Party Charter.

This is beyond Obama and Clinton because allocating these delegates will not affect who wins the nomination. It's about the Democratic Party's credibility and relevance to the functionality of a republic founded on the dogma of equal participation by all its members.

Just think, I say think of how these 3 million Democrats must feel about what their own Democratic Party did to them.
