Susan Hays, Dallas County Democratic Party Chairperson, resigns...

"Susan Hays announced Thursday that she would resign as chairwoman of the Dallas County Democratic Party on April 1, saying she was the victim of a witch hunt.

In a letter mailed Thursday, Ms. Hays asked precinct chairmen to meet April 2 at the Hall of State in Fair Park to select the next leader.

She appointed precinct chairman Robert Franklin as temporary chairman for the April 2 meeting.

"I am saddened to say that infighting has broken out, giving the public appearance that we prefer to fight among ourselves rather than stand united behind our Democratic beliefs and work together to get Democrats elected," Ms. Hays wrote. "My loyalty is not to the position of the chair, but to the larger progressive movement." "

Reg reqd.

I think some congratulations are in order for some of our local DUers!

It's come to this. It's sad and relieving at the same time.

...she pissed off the grass roots. And I would venture that she forgot some of our Democratic beliefs.

My advice to Susan Hays: "Watch and learn, grasshopper. When you can take the pebble from the grass roots' hand, it will be time for you to lead again."

Sorry Susan, you made us all mad, you failed in your job, as they'd say on "Apprentice", you're fired. Thanks for stepping down and sparing us all.

"My loyalty is not to the position of the chair, but to the larger progressive movement."

She was never, not ever "progessive", nor did she support all the Dem candidates. IMHO.

on Dem stationery said otherwise, Sue.
