Last Minute Appeal to Superdelegates

By carol wolman, MD

Hillary's sharp turn to the right, just before the Democratic convention, has prompted me to write one last letter to superdelegates. Please do the same- maybe they will listen to reason at the 11th hour.

Dear Friends of Bernie,

I thought the letter I wrote a couple of days ago to the superdelegates who will attend the Democratic convention next week would be the last one. A few last-minute developments have impelled me to try one more time.

1) Hillary's naming of Tim Kaine as running mate has antagonized Bernie and his supporters, probably beyond repair. According to David Swanson:

Tim Kaine has been consistently ranked as one of the least

progressive Democrats in the U.S. Senate" Kaine was an anti-environmentalist pro-coal governor of Virginia, a supporter of the "right to work" (for less) law restricting union organizing in Virginia, and he is a supporter of corporate trade agreements including theTrans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and including fast-trackingthe TPP. An extremely loyal Democrat, he nonetheless criticized Democrats in 2011 for proposing higher taxes on millionaires. http://davidswanson.org/node/5225 2) WikiLeaks on Friday published roughly 20,000 leaked emails from the Democratic National Committee (DNC). They show that key figures on the Committee have plotted to undermine Bernie's campaign and boost Hillary's since early 2005. Despite this, Bernie has 1,832 delegate votes earned in primary elections. Hillary has 2,219, These numbers would surely been reversed if the DNC had maintained its mandated stance of neutrality, if the primaries had been honest and the media fair in reporting. Bernie is the people's choice, and should be the nominee.

3) The Koch brothers are now supporting Hillary. They are one of the main forces behind climate change denial. Couple this with the refusal of the DNC to include a fracking ban in the platform, and we have a recipe for dooming life on the planet. There's no way that global warming can be stopped or even slowed with influences like this controlling the next president.

Here's my new letter, easily sent to every Clinton superdelegate by using http://www.lobbydelegates.com/delegates.php It takes one click per state- about 10- 15 minutes. You can write your own. If we bombard them this weekend, they just might listen.

Dear Fellow Democrats-

When the roll is called at the Democratic Convention, please vote for the only electable candidate- Bernie Sanders. He is the only one who can defeat Trump and do what's best for our country.

If you weren't convinced before, the gruesome spectacle of the Republican Convention should convince you that Trump would be an unmitigated disaster. Yet despite the blatant stupidity and nastiness in Cleveland, the race is still too close to call. Trump is getting more savvy, and will run a devastating campaign against Cllinton.

As of July 21th, 2016, poll results are:

General Election: Trump vs. Clinton

Rasmussen Reports

Clinton 42, Trump 43

Trump +1

General Election: Trump vs. Clinton

Reuters/Ipsos

Clinton 40, Trump 36

General Election: Trump vs. Clinton

LA Times/USC

Tie

General Election: Trump vs. Clinton vs. Johnson vs. Stein

Reuters/Ipsos

Clinton 39, Trump 35, Johnson 7, Stein 3

Clinton +4

Many Bernie supporters have pledged to vote for Jill Stein rather than Hillary Clinton. Jill's contributions and websites skyrocketed after Bernie endorsded Hillary. Hillary's choice of right-wing, pro-TPP, procoal, antilabor Tim Kaine has further alienated Bernie's base. He has been offered the Green candidacy, and may now decide to take it, splitting the election 3 ways. Given the unpopularity of Trump and Clinton, Sanders might well win. Wouldn't you prefer that he won as a Democrat?

The latest Wikileaks revelations show that the DNC plotted to undermine Bernie's campaign. Couple this with widespread fraud in the primaries, especially in key states like New York and California, and it's probable that Bernie, not Hillary, would now hold more earned delegate votes if the elections had been fair and free of undue DNC influence. He is the people's choice.

In many earlier polls, Bernie did better against Trump than Hillary.

The Republican convention made it clear that Trump's campaign will be vicious, and he will do everything possible to discredit Hillary. Although he is just as dishonest, he seems to be made of Teflon. Bernie is clean through and through. He can only be attacked on his policies, which are popular and should also appeal to many Trump supporters.

Tim Kaine's antienvironmental record and the Koch brothers' support of Hillary make it very unlikely that goals to slow or stop climate change. It's a recipe for accelerating global warming and dooming civilization.


Don't you care about the future? Aren't you tired of fraud and corruption? Don't you want what's best for the people of this country? Or are you in thrall to your pocketbook and your lust for power?

Bernie has overwhelming support among people 45 years and under- the future of the Democratic party. His plans will benefit our children and grandchildren.

Please, do what's best for the party and the country. Please, listen to the polls, and your conscience, and vote for Bernie Sanders when the roll is called in Philadelphia.

Sincerely, Carol Wolman, MD.
