Sanders Delegate: DNC Stripped My Credentials for Holding "No TPP" Sign
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This comes as at least one Sanders delegate is saying his credentials
were stripped from him after he held a protest sign during President
Obama's speech Wednesday night.

Frank Klein: "I'm Frank Klein. I'm a 61-year-old delegate from Arkansas
Congressional District 4. I'm here to represent my-I'm a Bernie
delegate. They had told me, because I held up a "No TPP" sign during the
Obama speech-I didn't yell, I didn't make a commotion, I just held up a
sign-that it's against DNC rules for me to use an unofficial sign, and
they refused to give me my credentials to go to the convention on the
fourth day. I feel like this is a violation of my constitutional rights
to free speech."
