Washington State Superdelegates (Sims, Inslee and Dicks)

This petition has been re-issued: http://www.petitiononline.com/obamayes/petition.html

To:  WA Superdelegates Sims, Inslee and Dicks

To: King County Executive Ron Sims; Rep. Jay Inslee (WA, 1st); Rep. Norm Dicks (WA, 6th)





On February 9, 2008 the citizens you represent selected Senator Barack Obama as their preferred presidential nominee for the Democratic Party. Senator Obama's victory in the caucuses was overwhelming, he won each of the 39 counties across the state and 67.5 \% of the vote overall.





In King County Senator Obama won approximately 70\% of the vote. In counties represented by Rep. Norm Dicks (Kitsap, Mason, Grays Harbor, Jefferson and Clallam) Senator Obama averaged 66\% of the vote. In counties represented by Rep. Jay Inslee (King, Kitsap and Snohomish) Senator Obama averaged 67\% of the vote.





As superdelegates to the National Convention, you have a significant role to play in the nomination process. As citizens of Washington State and of the counties you represent, we find it critical that you represent the wishes of the majority of voters in your district.





We understand you made a decision to support Senator Hillary Clinton prior to the caucuses. However, considering the results of the caucuses in your district we urge you to reconsider that decision and support the candidate that was selected by the majority of your constituents: Senator Barack Obama.





We are counting on you to use your superdelegate authority with wisdom and fairness.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
