  • Letter to the Democratic National Committee, the DNC Rules Committee, and All Delegates to the Democratic National Convention
    Letter to the Democratic National Committee, the DNC Rules Committee, and all delegates to the Democratic National Convention: The undersigned organizations hope that all Democrats agree that the will of the voters should be decisive in determining the Democratic nominees for the country’s highest offices. We therefore urge the Democratic Party – via action at this month’s Democratic National Convention – to eliminate the concept of so-called “superdelegates.” This change would not impact the ongoing nomination proceedings, but would take effect for all future national nominee selection processes and conventions. The superdelegate system is unrepresentative, contradicts the purported values of the party and its members, and reduces the party’s moral authority. • The system undermines representative democracy and means that the electorate is not necessarily decisive in determining who will be the Democratic nominees for president and vice president and dilutes the voters’ say over the party’s platform and the rules under which it operates. Astonishingly, these unelected delegates have essentially as much weight as do the pledged delegates from the District of Columbia, 4 territories, and 24 states combined. • The system undermines the Democratic Party's commitment to gender equity. While the party’s charter rightfully mandates that equal numbers of pledged delegates be male and female, a near super-majority of superdelegates are men. • The Democratic Party prides itself on its commitment to racial justice and the racial diversity of its ranks. Yet the superdegelates appears to skew the party away from appropriate representation of communities of color: Proportionately, approximately 20% fewer of this year’s superdelegates hail from communities of color than was true of the 2008 and 2012 pledged delegate cohorts, or of the voters who supported President Obama in those years’ general elections.

  • W.Va. Lobbyist Puccio Crosses Political Streams to Advise Democrat Manchin, Republican Justice Larry Puccio Has Been Walking
    W.Va. lobbyist Puccio crosses political streams to advise Democrat Manchin, Republican Justice Larry Puccio has been walking a political tightrope. His path crosses influence, access, politics, loyalty, friendship and no small degree of personal finance against the backdrop of a West Virginia that is transitioning from longtime Democratic dominance toward Republican power. He is a lobbyist, former state Democratic Party chairman and ex-chief of staff for Joe Manchin when he was governor. But this political season, Puccio pushed for the re-election of Gov. Jim Justice, a Republican who first won office as a Democrat. Puccio’s efforts were very different from Manchin, who very publicly said Justice should be defeated. On social media, Puccio’s social media status would be, “It’s complicated.” But Puccio says the political position he occupies is relatively simple. “It wasn’t hard for me because I’ve always been a person when I wake up in the morning, I’m going to support who I think is best for the state and best for our country,” Puccio said last week after being called on the telephone right as he sat down for a meal at Muriale’s, a much-loved Italian restaurant near his home in Marion County. “If you look at the results of this election, major numbers of Democrats voted for Jim Justice, so I would have to think those felt it was fine.” The next question was about what Manchin must think about that. Manchin and Puccio helped the billionaire owner of The Greenbrier win the governor’s race as a Democrat in 2016.

Having worked hard to secure a BREAKthrough victory in a state that had never elected an open- break through ly LGBT official, the Victory Fund quickly assembled a team of lawyers, donors, advisors and staff to defend her win. And when she finally won, we all did. Now when Alabama lawmakers debate the lives of gays and lesbians, they will look up from their lecterns to see a true hero of our community, and their colleague, staring back at them. The fight for that was mighty, but the power of it is strong, quiet and unyielding. Like Patricia. And 2006 brought other BREAK- through victories. Arkansas elected hon. patricia todd its first openly LGBT official when alabama state representative Kathy Webb was elected to the state legislature, and in Indiana, Henry alabama state representative Fernandez became the state’s first patricia todd refused to quit. elected LGBT official when he won a seat on the Lawrence Township School Board.

  • Middle East Notes Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns September 27, 2012
    Middle East Notes Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns September 27, 2012 Find previous weeks’ Middle East Notes here. Please note: Opinions expressed in the following articles do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the Maryknoll Office for Global Concerns. This week’s articles focus on the two-state/one-state debate; procrastination on a peace plan; the use of the Oslo Accords to promote apartheid; responses and reactions from Palestinian, Israeli, and U.S. American Jewish sources to the Romney video comments on the Palestinians; “warehousing;” a peace- less status quo; and other issues. September 21, 2012 Churches for Middle East Bulletin: This week’s Bulletin gives attention to the 1967 borders, the two-state solution, the peace plan, and other issues. In new video, Romney says Palestinians have no interest in peace with Israel: In Ha’aretz, Natasha Mozgovaya and the Associated Press write that U.S. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was caught on video telling donors that the Palestinians have no interest in peace with Israel, and that they are committed to its destruction and elimination. Palestinians condemn Romney for suggesting they aren’t interested in peace: Ha’aretz printed an article from the Associated Press and Reuters noting that Palestinians leaders have denounced Romney’s remarks. Americans for Peace Now (APN) calls on Romney to repudiate anti-Israel comments: APN decries Romney’s statements suggesting that peace is not possible and that therefore the U.S. should “kick the ball down the field and hope that ultimately, somehow, something will happen and resolve it.” “A message from Romnyahu”: In this recent column, Uri Averny notes that Romney stated that “the Palestinians” want to destroy Israel.
