Press Release Body: Today's launch of www.LobbyDelegates.com for the first time
empowers grassroots Democrats with the only 1-stop portal for influencing Super
Delegates, the nearly 800 top party officials allowed to vote for any Presidential
candidate they choose at the Nominating Convention.

Super Delegates' votes could be decisive in a continuing close race between Hillary
Clinton and Barack Obama. Both candidates remain better than 600 delegates shy of
the 2,024 "magic number\" for clinching the nomination. Given this math, neither
candidate is expected to win enough pledged delegates during the 10 remaining state
primaries to clinch a victory before the August 25th convention in Denver.

This likelihood has led some Democratic leaders to recently suggest holding a
special Super Delegate Primary in June to avoid the intra-party rancor anticipated
from a brokered convention.

With such high stakes, many Democrats want greater Super Delegate accountability--by
endorsing either the candidate who won their state primary, or the one winning the
most delegates from all primaries nationwide. LobbyDelegates.com enables
rank-and-file Democrats to communicate such grassroots views directly to these Super
Delegates--who include party leaders, governors, mayors, state and Congressional
lawmakers.

Users of LobbyDelegates.com can communicate with some or all of their state's Super
Delegates, who are categorized by whether they're currently supporting Clinton or
Obama, or have stayed Uncommitted. Users can thus tailor messages urging Super
Delegates to switch candidates, or switch from being uncommitted to one candidate or
the other. Users can even lobby Super Delegates to stay uncommitted until the
Convention.

The LobbyDelegates.com website is strictly impartial and is not affiliated with any
political party, candidate, campaign or advocacy group. LobbyDelegates.com was
created as a public service under the auspices of the StateDemocracy Foundation.
This tax-exempt nonprofit was established in 1999 to run www.StateDemocracy.org -- a

Foundation to help underwrite website costs, as follows:

For over 9 years, the StateDemocracy Foundation's website, www.StateDemocracy.org,
has proudly empowered some 114,000 citizens to participate in their democracy by
facilitating dialog with their state and federal lawmakers. The StateDemocracy
Foundation and its website were established using over $300,000 in contributions
from V-Empower, Inc. -- through its CEO, Shukoor Ahmed, of Bowie, Maryland, who
founded the technology firm in 1999.
