  • Urge Hillary Clinton to debate with Bernie in New York
    Hillary and her team recently said that she will not debate with Bernie because of his "tone". As a major presidential candidate she should show democracy and let the people of New York hear about the democratic party policies for the future.

  • DNC: Remove Bill Clinton as a 2016 Superdelegate
    The DNC has done everything in their power to give Hillary Clinton the upperhand in the 2016 Presidential Election. Her husband, Bill Clinton is a 2016 DNC Superdelegate. Not only are superdelegates undemocratic, this is a gross conflict of interest. We are asking Bill Clinton be removed as a superdelegate now.

  • Ask Robin Kelly, US Rep. IL 2nd Dist., to Support Bernie Sanders
    Democratic super delegates may choose their preferred candidate without regard to the will of the people. Super delegates may change their vote at any time before the convention in July. Rep. Kelly currently supports the wrong candidate and should support Bernie Sanders.

  • Professional Guardianship Fraud
    I know firsthand that forced guardianship happens to approximately five million seniors a year, whose wealth disappears into the hands of a few professional guardians, attorneys, and court personnel acting in conspiracy to obtain the victim's wealth with little public knowledge. Ostensibly created to prevent financial abuse by caregivers and family members, professional guardianship instead gives the legal system "carte blanche" to destroy lives, as I discovered when my family tried to help a friend suffering under a corrupt guardianship firm. Deemed incapacitated by the courts, elderly citizens are robbed of their decision-making rights and assigned professional guardians whose only interest lies in profiting from their estates. As guardianship firms take everything they can, state attorneys turn a blind eye. The very attorneys hired to help back away out of fear of losing their licenses. After witnessing the grief and rage of family members at the forced isolation and chemical restraints of their loved one, I realized that tens of thousands of other families were experiencing this same heartache worldwide. My hope is that this book will increase public outrage against this common, court-condoned crime. Please sign the petition to tell Amazon to put the book back on - it was taken off by a family law professor who profits from this crime.

  • Voter Suppression in New York
    I have witnessed the similar registration issues and suspicions of fraud in states across the US, and this seems to be the exact scenario in New York. Registered voters are being told they needed to choose party affiliation last year, which is a last minute change in the policy. People having never registered to vote before can wait until April 25th to decide which party, but already registered voters must make a decision by October of last year? This is an attempt to suppress independents and force people to decide on a party before they know everything about all candidates, which is not democracy.

  • Dept. of Justice: Investigate Arizona voter suppression
    UPDATE 4-5-16 I delivered your signatures to the DOJ last week, and now the Department of Justice is going to investigate! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/justice-department-arizona_us_5702b720e4b083f5c6085933 - In Maricopa County (Phoenix area) Arizona, the number of polling places was reduced from 200 during the 2012 primary election, to just 60 for 2016. They were warned that this would mean long lines and discourage people from voting. But they did it anyway. Some predominantly Latino areas only got one or no polling places at all. County officials allocated one polling place for every 108,000 residents but Anglo communities had more polling sites per residents. The result was traffic jams, and people had to wait in 5+ hour lines to vote. [Republican] "Maricopa County Recorder Helen Purcell, in charge of overseeing the election, told reporters she was sorry people were upset but didn’t offer solutions." The Justice Department can put a stop to this, they are the best hope for upholding the rights of all Arizona voters. Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton has asked for the DOJ to investigate, now it's our turn to keep up the pressure.

  • Maryland Assembly: Enact a Strong and Inclusive Automatic Voter Registration Law
    This week, the Maryland General Assembly is moving forward on legislation that would allow state agencies to use information that they already collect—age, address, and other relevant data—to determine whether individuals are eligible to vote and then add them to the voter rolls unless they decline to be registered. The potential impact on the electorate is huge: over 500,000 new voters could be added to the voter rolls, making it easier for them to participate in the electoral process. Only a few weeks are left to ensure that Maryland lawmakers put forth the strongest Automatic Voter Registration (AVR) program possible. There are a few different models being debated, and we are urging legislators to have the courage to adopt the model that is most expansive and inclusive, especially for those groups of eligible voters most often unaccounted for young people, lower-income people, and people of color. Maryland’s voting system is currently outdated, leaving over half a million residents voiceless during each election cycle. This session, Maryland can make it clear that the right to vote, much like the right to free speech, should have no impediment. With a comprehensive AVR system, Marylanders would enjoy a modernized process that saves money, is secure and accurate, and protects the fundamental right of every eligible citizen to participate in our democracy.
