We urgently need to convince the Michigan Democratic Party to sanction a Primary Caucus in Michigan, so our votes will count! Michigan's January Primary was nothing more than a beauty contest and a straw-poll.
None of the candidates campaigned in Michigan, and most of the candidates removed their names from the ballot. When we voted, "Uncommitted" won a plurality of the "youth vote," a majority of the "black vote," and 40% of the vote overall.
If Michigan holds a caucus, the DNC will seat our delegates at the Democratic National Convention. If Michigan holds a caucus, supporters of all the candidates will finally have a voice in this election. If Michigan holds a caucus, Michigan's delegates could decide the winner, but if we don't party insiders may decide. If Michigan holds a caucus, the candidates will start discussing the issues that matter to Michigan, including the loss of manufacturing jobs and the health of the Great Lakes.
If Michigan holds a caucus, we can have a real choice, and we can make our vote count!
