The issue is that she compromises the integrity and neutrality of the DNC. Once she is sent away, that compromising influence will wane, and repairs can be undertaken.

eom

If they don’t think the GOP is going to use this against Hillary (“she can’t keep her data safe”) then DWS didn’t really think this through, as usual. She’s a fucking train wreck. This, coupled with DWS non-support of a Democratic candidate for Governor in New Jersey makes me wonder if she’s really working for the Republicans.

Thanks for the link BMUS.

She seems to be doing a bang-up job so far.

She's corrupt and needs to be removed.

I can’t think of any other reason why she continues such obvious treachery.

Fuck her. Her downfall with be that much more delicious.

Thanks for the information - she’s much worse than I thought.

10,000 reached - New Goal - 15,000!!!

Just when Bernie supporters were starting to agree they would hold their noses and vote for Hillary in the general if she wins the primary, reluctantly.

It will be an awful day when Hillary wins the primary and loses the country.

It's called a Pyrrhic Victory.

It takes a lot of effort from those in the top 10% to assure the 1% stays large and stays in charge.

Just the way they like it. Some were born to be ruled, some to be the rulers.

I say funk that. Democracy for all people.

There comes a time when one can't give in to pressures. I vote for Bernie!

and posted to Facebook, Google+, and Twitter

If I were a Clinton supporter, if they don't fire DWS now I would still be done with the Democratic party. This is outrageous.

I can only assume at this point that she is trying to sabotage the Presidency and ensure a GOP victory, no matter what clown they put up.

Thank you for the link. Signed

In a statement, Michael Briggs, a spokesman for the Sanders campaign told the Guardian the issue was the result of systemic failures by NGP-VAN. “Sadly, the vendor who runs the DNC’s voter file program continues to make serious errors,” said Briggs. “On more than one occasion, the vendor has dropped the firewall between the data of different Democratic campaigns. Our campaign months ago alerted the DNC to the fact that campaign data was being made available to other campaigns. At that time our campaign did not run to the media, relying instead on assurances from the vendor.”

He added of Wednesday’s incident: “Unfortunately, yesterday, the vendor once again dropped the firewall between the campaigns for some data. After discussion with the DNC it became clear that one of our staffers accessed some modeling data from another campaign. That behavior is unacceptable and that staffer was immediately fired. We are as interested as anyone in making sure that the software flaws are corrected since mistakes by the DNC’s vendor also have made our records vulnerable. We are working with the DNC and the vendor and hope that this kind of lapse will not occur again.”

The Democratic party is corrupt. The only thing that would have me sit out the election would be cheàting, and this is flat out cheating.

Sign this fucking thing!

I'll vote for Hillary if she wins the primary, but I'm getting tired of these shenanigans by DWS.

Here's the comment I included with my signature. I have no illusions that Debbie will be persuaded by logic, ethics, the good of the party, etc., but have hopes that the vice-chairs might grow some balls and confront her.

It is the DNC's failure to exercise due diligence and oversight of the NGP-VAN vendor, despite numerous firewall breaches of numerous candidates, which should be investigated. On more than one occasion, the vendor dropped the firewall between the data of different Democratic campaigns. Sanders' campaign, MONTHS ago, alerted the DNC to the fact that campaign data was being made available to other campaigns.

Will call Wasserman's office today.

My comment on the petition:

"DWS is responsible for the most undemocratic behavior the DNC has seen to date. At this point the Democratic National Committee either needs to remove DWS as chair or might as well change the name to omit the word Democratic."

my comment:

"Open and transparent. Stop turning the DNC into a corporate puppet!"

DWS is beneath contempt.

I am still in total shock. How much more do we have to take to get her out of office?

Done.

she must be removed from office sooner rather than later, as she's killing the Democratic Party.

and has agreed for months, if not years. The question is how is this accomplished. Perhaps, it's time to bring in the big guns. Obama?

Okay Agree

But it will likely be ignored because her job is to get Hillary nominated.

In my state of Texas, my democratic vote means as much as a fart in the wind.

but I was so hardcore for Bernie so much, that I refused to vote for hillary in the general (if she is the candidate) purely on principle.

But then I started to soften a bit, and thought, well, regardless of how I feel her stance is on certain topics and her history of voting for things that are really bad, I think I can suck it up and vote for her if she is the candidate.

that said...

No more. I'm once again a hardcore Bernie supporter and will not vote for Hillary if she gets the nod.

again, I live in Texas and my vote here has very little weight at all, so my not voting for her is purely symbolic.


on edit: I signed the petition.

"And resign your pot immediately afterwards."

DWS is a disgrace to our party and our country.

Posted to facebook and tweeted.

Sanders is now trending on Twitter and the messages to DWS are rather pointed.

Signed, emailed, and facebooked.

they have raised the goal from 75,000 to 100,000.

Thanks!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

DFA has a petition as well:

DWS must be dancing in the streets at the prospects of limiting Bernie's data to the benefit of Hillary.

I'm not smart enough to understand this all, but if DWS is behind it, I'm agín it.

Shouldn't the head of the DNC be unbiased towards candidates AND FAIR?

I joined the Democratic Party in 1967.
It will be a sad day if I am forced to turn in my card.

Just to vote for Bernie in the primary. I will be reversing this as soon as it's over.

NT

Flood the DNC with Democratic rebuke! If everyone who is posting on DU about this underhanded dirty work by DWS calls and/or emails the DNC.. attention will be paid. Call the DNC regarding their suspension of Votebuilder access for the Bernie Sanders campaign! You can leave a message/complaint at 1-202-863-8000 or email them at info@democrats.org.

Thanks for the thread, beam me up scottie.

Done

done.

signed some others as well...

And sent more money to Bernie.

DWS is destroying the Democratic Party for short term gain. She's infuriating progressives and turning off young people, who are our future.

It's the same mentality as the 1%: As long as I get mine, the hell with the good of the whole.

sent to friends and and Tweeted.

& tweeted

the same names and comments are repeated over and over. Very odd, almost like a computer glitch.

her butt, butt, butt we were the wronged I tell ya, THE WRONGED. I mean um I am totally non partisan and I am not biased in the least.

Victory is sweet, enjoying the tears of everyone who gloated over Bernie being denied access to his files just a few short hours ago.
