Hundreds of people - most of them women and virtually all of them Hillary supporters - are protesting outside the hotel where the Democratic Party's Rules and Bylaws Committee will meet to decide the fate of convention delegates from Florida and Michigan.
""We voted. We want out votes counted," said Janet W. Larson, a Democrat from Jacksonville.
She was one of more than 100 Democrats from the Jacksonville area who rode two buses to Washington, arriivng about 1 am after a 12-hour ride. They're waving signs proclaiming, "We spoke loud and clear. Our voices must be heard."
She said she knew that Florida's primary violated party rules because it was too early. But she said Florida voters shouldn't be penalized.
"It's the politicians who did this," she said. "Not the voters."
Time to grow up people. What's done is done. Don't cry foul when things are going against you. Your candidate Hilary didnot care about your votes when she felt that the democratic nomination was in the bag. When it went against her, she decided to use you to further her own ambitions. The goal is to change the direction of the country. Read a comic printed today in the Chicago Suntimes called La Cucaracha when you think about voting for McCain instead of the Democratics best hope Obama
