There are still Superdelegates in Utah who can have a huge impact on this historical election. Superdelegates are Democratic party officials who can vote any way at the national convention.
I think the Superdelegates should vote for what the people of Utah want. It’s pretty clear that we want Obama. The election results show Obama’s 55.6% to Clinton’s 39.2% Let’s make our voices loud and clear while there is still a chance to be heard. Change is now.
Here is a list of the Superdelegates in Utah:
Bill Orton: committed to Obama
Former State Senator Karen Hale: committed to Hillary Clinton (on her statewide steering committee)
National Committeewoman Helen Langan: committed to Hillary Clinton (on her statewide steering committee)
State Party Chair Wayne Holland: uncommitted
Wayne Holland, Jr.
455 South 300 East Ste 301
Salt Lake City, UT 84111
House of Representatives Jim Matheson: uncommitted

If you aren’t quite sure what to say, here is a sample letter taken from http://weneedobama.blogspot.com
Dear Mr./Mrs. [X],
I am deeply interested in the outcome of the upcoming presidential election. I believe we have reached a turning point in our history and deeply feel that we need a truly transformational candidate that can bridge the partisan divides of the recent past.
In my humble opinion, I believe the best candidate for the job is Barack Obama. I hope you will consider joining me and my fellow Utah voters in supporting this truly capable, experienced and inspirational candidate and endorse his candidacy in your capacity as a superdelegate to the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Yours Truly,
[NAME], [CITY], [STATE]
Many of us waited for hours to vote, take a few moments to write a letter or even an email and have an even bigger impact.
Right now Clinton has 224 Superdelegates pledged to Obama’s 132.
