Will Hillary Be on the DNC Ballot in August?

So the big question on everyone's minds is, will Hillary be on the Democratic ballot at the convention? We've been hearing a lot of confusing (mis)information regarding this...has Hillary released her delegates or not? Is Howard Dean pressuring Hillary to take her name off the ballot in the name of "unity"?

What I think is the most telling are stories like these, showing the Obama campaign engaging in some pretty juvenile tactics to take Hillary-positive superdelegates out of the equation and replace them with pro-Obama people. Are they concerned that Hillary might actually win with a vote?

What all of this confusion and misinformation says to me is that the Democratic party really doesn't care too much about "democracy." They want to push Obama through without giving Hillary's delegates a chance to stand for her. This is the main reason I am leaving the "Democratic" party and voting against Obama in the fall.

Some are calling on Hillary supporters to help retire her debt as a way to show the DNC that Hillary has support and power. Do not be concerned that her money is going to Obama: From what I understand, her donations are going to reduce her debt. You can contribute here.

It's really disgusting how our Girl has been treated. Hopefully, the more of us that speak out, the more inclined the DNC will be to listening to us.
