  The truly moral act

  is to fight corruption and injustice even when it requires personal sacrifice.

  The Democratic caucus vote is a travesty of democracy and an insult to everyone who believes in one person/one vote and to those who believe in choosing a winner by popular vote.

  1) Since 2005, Obama's PAC has donated $710,900 to superdelegates, more than three times as much as Clinton's PAC has. Her PAC distributed $236,100 to superdelegates during the three-year period.

  The study found that the presidential candidate who gave more money to the superdelegates received their endorsements 82 percent of the time. That's based on a review of elected officials who are serving as superdelegates and who'd endorsed a candidate as of Feb. 25.

  2) Hillary wins the popular vote in Nevada and Texas yet Obama gets more delegates in both states.

  3) North Carolina, which holds its primary Tuesday, got an additional 24 delegates for moving its presidential nominating contest from April to May. Indiana, which also has its primary Tuesday, got six extra delegates for keeping its primary in May.

  Since using the caucus vote which was created in Iowa in 1972, the Democrats have lost every presidential election but 3.

  I can not and will not continue to support a corrupt system that rewards only those in power especially when it has proven to be such an utter failure.
