Bernie, Jane, Tad, volunteers and staff:

Here is a quote I saw today in a Huffington Post piece:

"Superdelegates shouldn’t overrule the will of the Democratic grassroots,” Wikler said. “If the primary and caucus winner is Hillary Clinton, then Clinton should be the nominee. If it’s Bernie Sanders, then Sanders should be the nominee.”

The full piece is here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/bernie-sanders-superdelegates_us_57269509e4b01a5ebde5f91e

To that I would humbly offer: It is my understanding to Supers were put there to STOP grass roots activists from doing what we are trying...I am sure it was Debbie Wasserman-Schultz who just recently told us this. Well that's the case, it will be on full display for all the world to see!!!!
