I stand in opposition to any action that further undermines democracy.

I have avoided events in Denver lately for this reason.

If the support for Train is as universal as is portrayed, the poll with 
show us that.

I don't care what the name is. I do want to participate in the 
selection. The method of participating has heretofore been a poll. I 
have seen no convincing argument to abandon the use of a poll now.

I stand for what democracy there remains. I would like to participate in 
a poll.

Thank you, Anita
