Statement :

The Just Say No Deal Coalition issues the following issues the following statement regarding the first on a series of Texas Caucus Fraud Hearings that convene this morning at Austin Community College, in Austin, Texas.

The Just Say No Deal Coalition will not tolerate disenfranchisement of any kind; if a legally registered voter wishes to cast his or her vote at a caucus site he/she should not be subjected to intimidation, verbal or physical assault, time constraints or any other unreasonable practice that hampers the voting process. We will assist any and all legally registered voters to ensure that their legally cast votes are counted and their voices heard.
 
We feel the revered and loyal democrat, The Hon. Governor Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania said it best in a recent written statement. His concerns about theunfair representation of voters due to the caucus system are Just Say No Deal's concerns as well.
 
Governor Rendell stated, "We, too, believe that the Democratic Party's nominating process is unfair and undemocratic... We must eliminate caucuses that are inherently undemocratic and disenfranchise seniors (no absentee voting for those who can't go to the polls), shift workers and our military. Forcing people to declare their preference in public also violates another cherished principle that undermines our democracy.

The Just Say No Deal Coalition will not merely fall in line behind a presumptive Party nominee that was chosen by a flawed system that disenfranchised millions of legally registered voters. The Just Say No Deal Coalition members will still either choose to stay home in protest, write in Senator Clinton’s name or vote for Senator John McCain. Our votes are our voices and Just Say No Deal’s voices are over 2 million strong and growing.  The Coalition will continue to organize in pursuit of its mission of keeping another unqualified candidate from reaching the Oval Office.
