There are HORDES of us out there who are fighting against the nomination of the "Precious". There are many ways to get your voice heard, and if you believe in not letting yet another presidential election get hijacked (this time from WITHIN the Democratic party), then do some work. It takes a tiny bit of effort, but here's what you can do if you've just had enough.

1. Sign the petition to make the votes of Florida and Michigan count: http://www.hillaryclinton.com/actioncenter/Default.aspx?sc=2 or http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/countFLoridaandMichigan/

2. Make some phone calls to your power establishment. Call 202-225-4965 and tell Nancy Pelosi what you think .Then call 202-863-8000 and leave amessage for Howard Dean and Ted Kennedy. If their inboxes fill up, good! Maybe they'll get the message of 'hey, you better listen up!" I already left Lois Capps (my house rep) messages. Thankfully, my senators haven't lost their minds...

3. Women (and men) send in your shoes to the DNC. Yes, you heard me. There's a movement to send in up to 36,000 pairs of sneakers, CFM shoes, steel-toed stilletos, etc...whatever shoes you've got at the bottom of your closet that you don't need. Write a note saying 'hey jerks! We're the voters you don't think you need this fall. We back Hillary. Want to know why? Walk a mile in our shoes." The stinkier, the better. Can you just imagine the DNC having to deal with 36,000 pairs of women's shoes? Insert video: DNC staff scratching their heads and saying, "Hey, I think these women might be serious..." Mail your shoes and your message to:
Democratic National Committee , 430 S. Capitol St. SE , Washington, DC 20003

If you don't have a message you want to particularly write, print this one off:

Participants in Walk A Mile In Our Shoes ask that the DNC acknowledge and act on: 1. Voters Rights The DNC has a duty to support voter's rights for Florida and Michigan. We request that the DNC enfranchise the voters of MI and FL, who did not agree to give up their right for their votes to be counted. Please fully seat our MI & FL delegates. When the actions or decisions of a few individuals, regardless of their official roles can strip the citizens of the right to have cast votes counted - then we no longer live in a democracy. 2. Women & Families are Significant to the Democratic Party - Don't underestimate us! The estimates of votes of caucus states disproportionately disenfranchised women, working Americans, families with children, the elderly, and others in Senator Clinton's significant supporters. Don't underestimate the importance of women, working Americans, families, the elderly, and others. We are concerned that the Democratic Party is walking away from us, from most of America. 3. The Good of the Party It is in the Democratic Party's interest to take a clear look at Senator Clinton's phenomenal connection with the very same broad base that the party has sought to attract for decades. Don't walk away from the winning base! We are most of America! We are most of your constituents. Senator Clinton is winning the popular vote. She is winning the base we must have. She will win the general election.

4. Donate your money. Yes, do it. I have NEVER contributed to a campaign before (as I suspect is true for a great many people) but I am doing it now. Give to Hillary at www.hillary.com. Or donate to the Women Count Too PAC - they're taking out ads in the NYT saying "NOT SO FAST!", standing up to the DNC and media who just want to annoint the precious and sideswipe the woman. 

5. Read the blogs that publish the truth on the numbers. Real Clear Politics and No Quarter are the best. The Confluence is also excellent, as is Taylor Marsh. There are many of us out there - connect and get your voice heard!
