Montreal is by far the most indebted city in Canada. It is time for Mayor Coderre to stop the lighting up of the Jacques Cartier Bridge, the granite stumps and other useless wastages of our money. If he can't control his senseless urges, then he should do the honourable thing and RESIGN immediately! Enough is enough!

The WV state legislature had a job to do in "regular session": pass a budget for FY 2017 and deal with a $270 million projected deficit. But, they spent their time on less important issues and now are in "special session" to try to pass a budget. If they do not pass a budget by June 30, thousands of state employees will be furloughed -- which in WV means "fired." That special session is costing WV taxpayers $35,000 per day, contributing to the deficit rather than solving it. With costs now surpassing $385,000 for their inability to do their job, they should pay the taxpayers back.

This petition addresses our desire to end a crooked election process whereby every election law was broken and manipulated by Debbie Wassermann Schultz, The Democratic National Committee Chair" and to the wish of the Hillary Clinton and To that end, we are proud to enthusiastically support Bernie Sanders for President in 2016, over any progressive candidates.

Ronald Reagan, The Republican Party leader's legacy as President should be tried in an international court of law for War Crimes Against Humanity. Republican leaders should face trial as accomplices for the manipulation and corruption of big oil business and politics setting our future generations up for ecological peril and survival.

Imagine heading to the polls and seeing machines that are malfunctioning or power outages at your polling place. You wait for an hour, but have to leave to go to work or pick up your children. It might be difficult for you to get back to the polls before 7:30 p.m. Normally, officials can extend polling hours when equipment malfunctions, inclement weather, or other problems prevent folks from being able to vote. But a bill on its way to Ohio Gov. Kasich’s desk would make that much harder by forcing an individual to foot the cost of a bond (and maybe the whole bill) to keep the polls open. Even worse, the bill would leave it up to a judge to decide which petitioners have to front tens of thousands of dollars to cover overtime pay for every poll worker in the county and which ones don't. A voter can petition for extended hours without paying anything if they are "indigent" but in a case in which a voter claims inability to pay, they are the only one who gets to vote. The polls are closed to all other voters even though they faced the same problem. Last November more than 83% of polling locations in Hamilton County reported having problems with new election equipment and the polls were kept open longer [1]. In March, a massive car wreck prevented thousands of voters from making it to the polls in the normal time, so Hamilton County extended the closing time. Under the new law, this could have cost an individual voter upwards of $30,000 [2]. Tell Governor Kasich: The right to vote shouldn't carry a price tag. Veto SB 296 and stop this attack on voters.

Unlike the pundits and media spokespeople who constantly refer to a "presumptive" Democratic candidate for the General Election, many California voters are apparently of a different opinion, evidenced by the recent dramatic surge in polls for Bernie Sanders. The near virtual tie between Sanders/Clinton may be reflective of Hillary Clinton's decreased favorablity ratings compared to Donald Trump in national polls, and raise the legitimate question among California voters as to who is the strongest candidate to beat Trump in the Presidential Election.

We have a rare opportunity to make a revolutionary reform to the primary process. During each of the conventions in July, the Party Chairs relinquish their power to the thousands of delegates selected in the primaries. Those delegates, many of them regular folks like us, have the power to change the rules for all future Presidential Primaries. And, over the last 100 years, they have done so multiple times.

Due to the overwhelming following of US Senator Bernard Sanders we are requesting a review of the votes of pre-pledged Superdelegates and their reconsideration of support for Senator Sanders, especially in those states he has won where very few to zero Superdelgates have unfairly sided against Senator Sanders. The Democratic National Committee has soared in new membership numbers due to the millions of Senator Sanders supporters. He has repeatedly shown his strong following of supporters with rallies larger than any Democrat or Republican to date. 27,000 plus in New York. 31,000 in one of the many California rallies recently... Please respect the popular vote with your support in this election cycle.. Thank you http://superdelegatelist.com/list California Mixed primary

According to US Uncut, Chris Matthews on MSNBC admitted recently that his network and several others "intend to call the Democratic primary race for Hillary Clinton before polls close in California on June 7". They don't elect our government, we do. If they want to mess with that, then let's mess with their revenue by petitioning and then boycotting their advertisers. Apparently, they need reminding who really needs who. Let's drive that point home. Source: http://usuncut.com/politics/media-clinton-california-primary/

The Koch brothers (and their ilk) plan to spend big in state and local elections, and the left can't come close to that kind of money. But we have to prevent any more right-wing takeovers of state legislatures and keep the Supreme Court from doing further damage to our rights (like in Citizens United). Get off your ego trip and start helping protect non-whites, women and LGBT Americans from the Republican bigots!

Corpus Christi will not take this anymore. First multiple water boil advisories cause a financial strain on having to pay for bottled water. We as citizens of Corpus expect to pay a water bill and be able to drink our water instead of having to boil it. Secondly, Citizens have hit multiple potholes that have resulted in flats, dented rims, bad alignments and even worn shocks. We want Nelda to step down so we can elect someone responsible to resolve the streets and the water.

Public worker pension funds shouldn't be a piggy bank for Wall Street financiers. But that’s exactly what they’ve become here in New Jersey. Under Governor Chris Christie, fees forked over to Wall Street money managers have skyrocketed. His appointees over at the New Jersey State Investment Council (SIC) have particularly helped them profit. Through high-priced hedge funds and alternative investments, the SIC has handed Wall Street well over a BILLION dollars to manage less than one-third of the state’s pension funds. Even worse is that taxpayers are paying these outrageous fees to get nearly the same exact returns as if we’d never placed pensions in these hedge fund managers’ hands. In 2015 alone, the New Jersey State Investment Council paid $728 million in fees and bonuses to Wall Street firms to manage less than a third of pension investments. The year before, Wall Street raked in $600 million in fees and bonuses. That’s $1.3 billion of the hard-earned retirement of nearly 800,000 active and retired public employees in New Jersey being doled out to Wall Street in just two years. Reducing New Jersey’s investment in these pricey funds and spending more prudently could save taxpayers $20 billion over the next 30 years. That will not only make pension plans healthier, but also save the taxpayers billions of dollars in contributions to the plans. On Wednesday, May 25th, the SIC will vote on how to allocate the state’s pension funds for the next year. Send the SIC a message: Public worker pension funds shouldn't be a piggy bank for Wall Street financiers. Stop giving pension money to Wall Street hedge funds now.
