It's time to bring democracy back to our Democratic election process and have a fair election without superdelegates tipping the scales. The reason for primaries and caucuses are for the U.S. people to vote, not a bunch of legislators, who are given promises for their vote. Let the voters' votes count and LET'S END SUPERDELEGATES!!

Hillary Clinton's email Issues cut deeper with an immunity deal between the Justice Dept. & Bryan Pagliano, the staffer who set up Hillary's email server. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, says that she will move forward once she has more evidence from the FBI. However, time is running out, do to the upcoming Democratic National Convention. It's possible Hillary Clinton could actually be charged with something. We don't know what's going to happen, but we do know that the FBI is moving forward with their investigation. The question isn't "if it will come." The question is "when." If she's charged after the convention, it will hurt the entire Democratic Party. Our chances of having a Democrat into the White House are at stake. WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DEMAND THAT LORETTA LYNCH TAKE ACTION BEFORE THE 2016 DEMOCRATIC NATION CONVENTION!!!

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has created pending new regulations in order to protect Americans from payday loan sharks, companies that make enormous profits off of predatory lending, exploiting the poor and uneducated by advertising quick and convenient loans while downplaying the concomitant skyrocketing interest. Wasserman Schultz is co-sponsoring a new bill that would push back the bureau’s payday lending regulations by two years. It would also let state laws on payday lending trump the federal regulations, falling back on so-called “states’ rights.” It calls for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to “adjust their payday lending rules to take into account actions Florida has already taken.” The DNC chair describes Florida’s state law as a “model” for payday loan legislation. In fact it is an industry-friendly law that will would effectively “gut the CFPB’s forthcoming payday loan regulations and harm all consumers. H.R. 4018 would limit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) ability to protect all consumers against high-cost payday, car title and installment loans.'' The director of the Campaign to Stop the Debt Trap at Americans for Financial Reform says otherwise, calling Florida’s law “a sham” and pointing out that “it was backed by the industry.” Leading consumer protection, civil rights and social justice groups overwhelmingly oppose the legislation. In December, 265 groups — including the Consumer Federation of America, the NAACP and the National Council of La Raza — sent Congress a letter “strongly urging” lawmakers to vote against the bill. “This harmful bill would limit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) ability to protect all consumers against high-cost payday, car title and installment loans,” the letter warns. The legislation would also “allow abusive small-dollar lenders to go on doing business as usual if states enact laws similar to a Florida law, putting in place so-called ‘industry best practices,'” the groups wrote. “Instead of protecting consumers, H.R. 4018 and the industry-backed Florida law would do more harm to consumers.”

We are ALL affected when we feel our vote should count, but when that vote may be swept away in an election where "Super" Delegates are being given an out-sized role and voice that outweighs the choices of individual voters, it is a major concern and frustration. "Super" Delegates are often Democratic Party officials and those with a particular agenda. They are not chosen by the public and may unfairly sway elections to reflect the wishes and positions of those connected with party politics rather than the will of the electorate. The whole presence of such insider "Super" Delegates reduces the integrity of the process and appears questionable to those of us who want our vote to matter. The Republican Party does not use "Super" Delegates, and there is no good reason why the Democratic Party should be using "Super" Delegates, which sullies and undermines the whole democratic process. We are asking the Democratic Party to do away with "Super" Delegates and to reduce their status to that of Regular delegates. ALL delegates should be of equal influence and status when it comes to representing voters.

Trump is truly unqualified to run for public office, let alone the Presidency. As a country, we live in the most challenging times since the Second World War. Trump has no military background, foreign or domestic affairs experience. He doesn't understand basic American values, and is an embarrassment to our nation at home and abroad.

As a resident of Pittsburgh , I am personally affected by the state of our democracy. The issue of money in politics and the corporate strangle on our democracy is an incredible crisis, but also an incredible opportunity. When impacted communities unite for change, real progress is possible.

Bill H. 3937 was just filed to create an automatic voter registration system in Massachusetts. It would allow for all eligible citizens to be automatically registered to vote whenever they go to an RMV, unless they opt-out. Automatic voter registration is designed to increase political participation and strengthen voting rights by shifting our voter registration system from an opt-in to an opt-out one, making elections more free, fair, and accessible for all. It’s clearly time for proactive reforms like automatic voter registration to engage every eligible citizen in the political process. In 2015, Oregon and California became the first states to adopt this reform, and we now believe it is time for Massachusetts to join and help lead the charge for a better democracy by adopting automatic voter registration. Please tell your representatives on Beacon Hill to support automatic voter registration!

It is time to do away with SUPER DELEGATES. We the people are able to decide who we want to elect without the DNC trying to thwart our vote. Nullify all Super Delegates or the undersigned registered Democrats WILL re register as independents before the general election of 2016.

Republican Senators have said they will not consider any of the President's nominees for the Supreme Court vacancy. As far as I'm concerned - no work, no pay.

New Jersey's economic and social future is in jeopardy! While out campaigning for president, or vice president, Governor Christie is not fulfilling his promise to the people of New Jersey. Stop the mass exodus.

Not even ex-Presidents are allowed to break Voter Laws. Action must be taken and not only have the process made right, but to stop this illegal behavior from happening again. President Clinton must see himself as above the law or untouchable which is why Americans are fed up with politics as usual.

In Oregon this January, protesters began an occupation of the Federal Building at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge that lasted for 41 days. The 25 people who occupied the reserve are now facing felony charges for conspiracy to impede an officer of the United States. That federal criminal statute has a maximum penalty of six years. Prosecutors need only prove that two or more defendants agreed to prevent some federal employee from discharging his or her duty by force, intimidation or threat. Prosecutors do not have to prove they were successful. It seems, then, that those listed below and other Senators are collaborating to prevent federal officials, including the President of the United States, from doing their job by: 1. Insisting there would not even be a hearing of a nominee to fill Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s vacant seat, 2. By failure to confirm federal judges, 3. By failure to confirm more than a quarter of the administration’s most senior executive branch jobs. The airwaves and social media are chock-full of their own words: statements in press interviews, statements in YouTube videos, and statements in widely distributed emails. Conspiracy to impede an officer of the United States includes: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), Senator Chuck Grassley (IA), Senator Orrin G. Hatch (UT), Senator Jeff Sessions (AL), Senator Lindsey Graham (SC), Senator John Cornyn (TX), Senator Michael S. Lee (UT), Senator Ted Cruz (TX), Senator Jeff Flake (AZ), Senator David Vitter (LA), Senator David Perdue (GA), Senator Thom Tillis (NC), Senator Roger Wicker (Miss.), Senator Ron Johnson (Wis.), Senator John McCain (Ariz.), Senator Pat Toomey (Pa.), Senator Marco Rubio (FL), Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Donald Trump, Speaker Paul Ryan. Part 1 - Supreme Court The Constitution of the United States, Article II, Section 2 states: “The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment. “He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he (the President) shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.” Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee signed a letter (http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/02/23/us/politics/document-Senate-SCOTUS-Letter.html?_r=0) to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declaring they would not hold hearings to ensure the next president, not President Obama, pick someone to replace the late conservative justice, Antonin Scalia. This action is an attempt at intimidation and a threat to the President and people of the United States. If no hearing is granted, the tactics prevent remaining Senators from taking part in a confirmation vote, thereby preventing them from doing their job. The 54-member GOP caucus, and those in lock step with them, are united against taking any step in the Senate’s “advice and consent” process, making them subject to prosecution for “preventing some federal employee from discharging his or her duty by force, intimidation or threat.” The Constitution hasn’t changed, but Mitch McConnell’s interpretation of it has as evidenced by his remarks from 1970-2010. How can this shift be anything other than McConnell’s attempt to prevent federal employees, including the President of the United States, from discharging their duties by force and intimidation? “The framers intended for three separate and independent branches of government. The judiciary was to be free from political influences, insulated from the whims of a changing majority and answerable only to the law and a public that expected the judicial branch to dispense justice free from the taint of popular politics. Any attempt to deny confirmation on the basis of a philosophy, that is within the mainstream of American political and judicial thought, is an assault on this tripartite structure of government. It is clear under our form of government that the advice and consent role of the Senate in judicial nominations should not be politicized.” [Floor Remarks, 10/2/90] “It is time to move away from advise and obstruct and get back to advise and consent. The stakes are high. The Constitution of the United States is at stake. Article 2, section 2 clearly provides the President and the President alone nominates judges.” [Floor Remarks, 5/19/05] “There are few duties more consequential for a Member of the U.S. Senate than to vote on a Supreme Court nominee.” [Floor Remarks, 7/13/09] “Our job is to react to that nomination in a respectful and dignified way, and at the end of the process, to give that person an up-or-down vote as all nominees who have majority support have gotten throughout the history of the country. It’s not our job to determine who ought to be picked.” [Fox News, 7/3/05] “Whether it’s small-claims court or the Supreme Court, Americans expect politics to end at the courtroom door.” [NY Times, 8/5/10] “I believe that a heavy burden must be met by those who would have this nominee rejected. Under the Constitution, our duty is to provide advice and consent to judicial nominations, not to substitute our judgement for what are reason...
