This was intially written as a comment to a blog entry. I'm posting it as a stand alone thread under my own name. my apologies for any redundancy............
This link below is my open letter to super delegates. I sent it directly to undecided super delegates in California. A couple days later I received David Plouffe's Super Delegate action email and included this note as part of that Campaign Call.http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/michaelmaheras/C43jIt's imperative to note, as I subsequently learned, the campaign does not want the electorate to contact Super Delegates directly. Plouffe's letter was multi-fold; to ensure the Campaign and its supporter messages are not at odds; and to maintain Campaign control over the highly sensitive and discreet Super Delegate efforts - all the while, reigning in the activists and bringing these Hardballers into the fold through the illusion of inclusion.I know this may sound cynical to some and I’m sorry. I'm inclined to believe this because, in part, a Blog entry of mine which contained contact information for the Undecided California Super Delegates – in this case email and telephone numbers for DNC Members - was deleted without advance or subsequent notice. Poof, it disappeared.This blog entry lived for three or so days – a couple before the Plouffe email and perhaps a day or two thereafter. While I very much understand the nature of this action (how can one prove to others you can control the government if you can’t even control your own supporters) and while I stand by my Super Delegate letter, it’s a major letdown to have the post deleted in this regard.Moreover, they took away the points I received for posting a blog entry. At minimum, I should be allowed to keep those. Come on!
