• Tell John Kasich: no bribing delegates!
    Bribing voters is illegal. Bribing delegates isn’t -- but should be. Tell John Kasich and the rest of the presidential candidates to take the #NoDelegateBribes pledge. As competition for delegates grows fierce in both parties' primaries, the presidential campaigns may resorting to "delegate buying." Campaigns can lavish delegates with gifts and free travel, in hopes of influencing their votes at the convention. That's not how our democracy should work. Delegates shouldn’t be tempted to support the candidate who gave them the most gifts. We're calling on candidates to take the "No Delegate Bribes" pledge -- to refrain from offering delegates anything of value in an attempt to swing their votes, and urge independent groups that support them to do the same. Candidates also must support changing convention rules to expressly forbid this sort of delegate buying. Anything less than that undermines public trust in our democracy, and reinforces voters' cynicism about our political process. Join Common Cause in asking John Kasich and the rest of the presidential candidates to sign the #NoDelegateBribes pledge. It would send a clear message that this election is about the voters -- not backroom bribes.

  • Tell the FCC to Unlock The Box
    Cable providers have held a monopoly on cable boxes for too long. Consumers are forced to rent these locked boxes for an average of $231 / year. The FCC has proposed a rule that would end this monopoly, driving innovation, bringing down costs for consumers, and making it simple to get streaming content in every American home.

  • Don't give the Trumps of New Jersey a YUGE tax cut!
    Gov. Chris Christie wants to give the Ivanka Trumps of New Jersey a tax cut. He's pushing hard to repeal New Jersey's estate tax, and says eliminating taxes on inherited wealth is "tax fairness." The worst part? Some Democrats are listening, and have moved a bill forward in the State Senate. The truth is that repealing New Jersey's estate tax would only benefit the very wealthy and their heirs, and working families would pay the price. We've been down this road before in New Jersey. When millionaires got a tax cut in 2010, we ended up paying for it with billions in cuts to schools, property tax relief, public safety, and other services on which we all rely. Eliminating the estate tax would only benefit the rich, while forcing the rest of us to pick up the tab. Christie's brand of trickle-down economics has failed New Jersey, and our legislators know it. They should reject Christie's call for any further tax cuts for the super-rich.

  • Dear Gov. Brownback
    Please do something about how you are running our state into the ground with our higher taxes, taking away from the schools, putting a hold on the teacher's retirement package, all because your programs have failed. I can hardly wait for November and to mark all the democrats as the winners. Even the newspapers (Lawrence Journal World) is commenting on how the Republicans are disgusted by your mess you've created. Thanks, and have a good day!

  • Voter Suppression
    Thousands of voices were silenced in the Arizona & New York elections and now Rhode Island has announced 66% of polls will be closed. We the people demand to have our right to vote restored. We call on the POTUS to intervene and establish a bi-partisan commission of registered citizen auditors to oversee the rest of the primary election. We call for a re-vote in the states of Arizona and New York, where tens of thousands of voters went to the polls to find we were no longer registered to a political party. We demand support from our elected officials. The future of both parties depends on it.

  • MSNBC: Start Reporting on Election Fraud
    With the recent disaster in N.Y. and the ongoing lawsuits and investigations in other states, we demand that you start talking about what has been happening. Everything Trump says is a scandal, but thousands of people are being denied the right to vote and you remain silent. Rhode Island just announced they will only have 1/3 of their polling places open. That is blatant voter suppression. Start reporting on all issues involving election fraud, voter suppression, and in general the poor organization and execution of election days in the US, or we will organize a mass protest outside your headquarters, and we will make sure that story will be covered.

  • Haiti Election Verification
    As Haitian Americans, we are directly impacted by Haitian elections. We are the catalyst for change in Haiti. We send over 4 billion dollars in money transfer and are taxed $1.50 for each transaction. The international donors such as the United States are pulling strings to allow an injustice to the Haitian population. It is our right to vote on our leaders.
