The Afrosphere Action Coalition and its undersigning Coordinating Committee members (Frincis L. Holland, Wayne Hicks, Daz Wilson and Yobachi Boswell) is undertaking a Day of Blogging For Voter Justice, on Tuesday March 25th, to impress upon the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Senator Hillary Clinton, that the Junior Senator from New York must concede the election, and that their will be direr consequences if the DNC and it’s party officials, the superdelegates; overturn the express will of the voters in the democratic primary.
To this end Michael Fisher and Francis L. Holland, Esq have initiated a petition that was refined via consultation of the Afrospear. On Tuesday March 25th we want to call upon blog power to incite those of like mind to sign the petition and email/call/postal mail a statement of their choosing to the Democratic party bosses to let them know that acting like Republicans and stealing the vote will not be excepted.

When other candidates have seen that they can’t win, they just concede. Why does it seem that if Hillary can’t win the basketball game then she wants to blow up the basketball court?

Mrs. Clinton has eroded the ground upon which she stands. The condescension and derisive attacks against Sen. Obama and his supporters (myself included) lead me to say that if presented with the spectre of voting for her or McCain, I would choose to write in. The Democratic Party will lose for the long-run.
[At this writing, I am not sure what the write-in requirements are for my state and whether a written-in vote would even officially be counted, but that would be my choice.]
Concede. Throw your support behind the momentum and retain some viability as a political figure.
It saddens me to see how far Mrs. Clinton will go, I can understand personal ambition. I can appreciate the fact she feels she has a good plan for the future of the country. But when the nation has so clearly embraced someone - unexpectedly to many a black man - how can she persist in her battle. At least win fair and sqaure, not by moving the goal posts every 72 hours, or trying to criticize someone who simply wanted to follow the rules. Well I could go on and later tonight I will on my blog. Thanks!
