I sit on the Executive Board of the California Democratic Party and will vote in

June on DNC delegates who will preside over the convention in August. These are the men and women who will make the rules at a potentially brokered convention.

How very sad, indeed, that the Obama campaign has chosen to slash and burn its list of supporters, as this purging policy projects the wrong image, makes the campaign look nervous, not at all confident – and, I'm afraid, anti-democratic and mercenary, given the coveted treatment of bundlers running for delegate seats.

Perhaps there's still time for the Obama campaign to reverse itself, to celebrate

its popularity with grassroots activists and let everyone who wants to participate

run a proud race for a man they would like to be proud of as he moves into the Oval

Office.

With hope for change,

Marcy Winograd
