Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been chair of the DNC since 2011.
After four years, there is no longer any doubt that Wasserman Schultz must go.
She has:
1) Rigged the primary process to suppress Democratic turnout by scheduling the bare minimum of presidential debates, at odd times when TV viewership is lowest -- giving all candidates [fewer] opportunities to present their message, and suppressing the Democratic voter engagement that is essential to promote turnout at the polls.
2) Put her own political interests ahead of the Democratic Party, routinely soliciting donors at party events for donations to her own campaign and leadership PAC.
Previously, as head of the DNC's Red to Blue program, she refused to support Democratic challengers to three Republicans she counts as friends.
3) Supported warmongers by trying to undermine President Obama's Iran deal.
Reports claim she attempted to scuttle a DNC committee resolution supporting peace and diplomacy through the nuclear agreement with Iran.
She also pointedly refused to publicly support the deal at first, giving Republicans an opening to attack, before finally voting in favor.
4) Sided with anti-progressive special interests that hurt Democratic voters and her own constituents.
Wasserman Schultz lobbied to stop the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from cracking down on predatory lenders.
Under her leadership, the DNC partnered for one of the 2016 debates with a "notoriously anti-choice" media outlet.
Chair Wasserman Schultz has repeatedly pursued her own agenda at the expense of the progressive base and basic principles of fairness.
That's bad for progressive values and bad for the Democratic Party, and she must resign.
Sign the petition:
