SIGN OUR PETITION TO PROTECT OUR DEMOCRATIC PROCESS & INSIST THAT THE DNC HOLDS 2024 DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY DEBATES!<\/strong>

As of May 10, 2023, we have three officially declared Democratic candidates (Marianne D. Williamson, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Joseph R. Biden) for the Presidential election in 2024.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC), has refused to hold any debates in the Democratic primary. 

In doing so, they prevent all candidates from making their case directly to the American people about why they should be elected as the nominee to beat the Republican presidential candidate challenger in 2024.

THIS IS BLATANTLY UN-DEMOCRATIC!

ABC NEWS reported:<\/a> “When asked by Politico in August 2022 about how they might deal with a primary challenge, DNC executive director Sam Cornale put it bluntly: ‘We’re with Biden. Period.’ 

The group also unanimously passed a resolution during their February 2023 winter meeting expressing their “full and complete support” for a second term for Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.”

In addition, the DNC voted to switch around the primary schedule to favor the incumbent in states where he might perform better.

We are NOT A MONARCHY and NOT AN OLIGARCHY! 

Having primary debates supports the ideals on which we purport to stand. The DNC’s approach to 2024’s Presidential Election is decidedly un-American and the antithesis of fair or democratic. 

SIGN OUR PETITION TO PROTECT OUR DEMOCRATIC PROCESS! INSIST THAT THE DNC HOLDS DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY DEBATES!

Insist ALL candidates be heard and let the American people decide the Democratic nominee, NOT the DNC!
