5. Another, Dan Gelber, said the amendment was to show the DNC they "tried"
From the notes held by the DNC rules committee:

"Florida House Democratic Leader Dan Gelber stated,
after receiving a call from DNC Chair asking for help in opposing setting
the primary date before February 5, “I don’t represent Howard Dean.”"


"Florida House Democratic Leader Dan Gelber stated,
after offering an amendment to move the primary to February 5th, that the
only reason he offered it was “to show that there was an attempt to state
within the Democratic Party rules.”
with no debate being offered."


In other words it was a joke to them.

More on Steve Geller's joking way of dealing with this issue.

Florida Senate Democratic Leader Steve Geller stated
on the Senate floor that he was offering an amendment to move the primary to
February 5 only because he was threatened by DNC Chair Howard Dean. Sen.
Geller than mocked his own amendment which failed on a voice vote without
any debate."


We have so many battles ahead for our party. The Florida Party are the ones who gave people's votes away. Not the DNC.

I despise the attitudes here so much.
