And the Democratic Party is leaving me. Real Progressives should have a voice, and for a lot of us Bernie is helping that happen. Barney Frank doesn't represent my thinking. My time (considerable) spent on the State level Democratic Platform committees over the past 5 years will be wasted if Bernie supporters aren't represented on the National Platform Committee. Get the lobbyists out of the party hierarchy.
