·  The Florida Democratic primary election ballot had all democratic candidates on the ticket & neither Clinton nor Obama campaigned here so both current nominees had a level playing field

·  Florida Dems  (1.75 million democratic voters)  have been disenfranchised, through no fault of their own (as in 2000)

·  House Bill #537 was written by a Florida Republican to change Florida's primary date to Jan. 29, 2008 in clear violation of DNC rules

·  A conflict between a state's legislative rights and DNC & RNC rules caused the recent conflict and State Law trumps party or organizational law 

·  The Florida Democratic Party did NOT change this date.

·  The Florida legislature has an overwhelming Republican majority in both the Senate and the House  

·  The state of Florida has a Republican Governor who threatened to veto the legislation if the primary date was changed back into compliance

·  The citizens of the state of Florida did NOT vote on this date change. 

·  HB537 was co-joined with SB1174 (to provide a paper trail for voting machines) was passed in May 2007 & legislatively changed the Florida primary date.

·  This date was, and still is, unalterable by the Florida Democrats; ..it was mandated by state law..
