Here's a sample message to send to your friends:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,
Bernie won New Hampshire. And by a hair, Hillary won Iowa. In other words,
there's a long Democratic primary ahead, possibly fought all the way to the
convention.
But there's a problem: There are 712 superdelegates-made up of Democratic
elected officials and other prominent party leaders-who have the power to
tip the scales, potentially shifting the vote at the convention to whomever
they choose. This process is undemocratic and fundamentally unfair to
Democratic primary voters.
In 2008, when the primary looked like it could boil down to superdelegates,
MoveOn launched a similar campaign calling on the superdelegates to hold off
making their decisions until the voters had spoken.
Now, as we face a similarly contested primary, it's critical that we speak
out again for the integrity of our voting process. Democracy only works when
the votes of the people-not the decision of a small number of elites-are
what determines the outcome of elections.
That's why I signed a petition to The Democratic superdelegates, which says:
"The race for the Democratic Party nomination should be decided by who gets
the most votes, and not who has the most support from party insiders.
That's why we're calling on all the Democratic superdelegates to pledge to
back the will of the voters at the Democratic Party convention in
Philadelphia."
