From Florida Dems

From a memo from the Florida Democratic Party:

Florida Dems: We Will Not Revote - Politics on The Huffington Post: "...This doesn't mean that Democrats are giving up on Florida voters. It means that a solution will have to come from the DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee, which is scheduled to meet again in April.

When this committee stripped us of 100% of our delegates last year, some members summed up their reasoning by saying, 'The rules are the rules.' Unfortunately, the rules did not apply to Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina when they, too, violated the DNC calendar by moving from their assigned dates.

As the late great Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, 'We must adjust our ideas to the facts of today... Rules are not necessarily sacred, principles are...'"
