It's become clear that the establishment has no interest in allowing an "outsider" to have a fair chance at the nomination. Superdelegates should commit to vote for the candidate who receives the popular vote, regardless of who that is. And they should publicly announce their intention to do that prior to casting their ballot in Philadelphia.

The democratic and republican parties, as non-governmental organizations, make their own rules regarding exactly how their delegates / superdelegates are distributed, and the extent of the power that each delegate truly has. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee, had this to say regarding the disproportionate power of the Democratic superdelegates: "Un pledge

We the taxpayers have been demoralized, and it's only a matter of time before complete chaos erupts at the current pace! I believe this to be the best way for America to remain on the right track while also ensuring our system is actually a Democracy, at the same time proving to the electorate that you're for all of it's people (you know, the one's who pay the salaries for all of the Government Officials!)

I am a 58 year old American citizen, who would like to restore OUR democracy. We are living in an Oligarchy. Last year I made the commitment that I could no longer stand idly by and let my country continue on this wretched path. Our political system is corrupt. I have no bribes to offer you. Summoning all citizens of Minnesota to join me in this fight.

Let the Massachusetts voters decide. As a lifetime resident of Massachusetts and as a registered voter I request that the voters decide the nomination.

The democratic process is too important to allow elitist favoritism to dictate our party's choice in the primary.

Hillary Clinton is running for President and claims to represent all of the people. If that is the case she should have no problem sharing her private speeches with us.

I am a Florida voter and a political and social justice activist, and I have spent the last 15 years of my life engaged in the democratic process in the hopes of making America a better place to live. I believe in democracy, and in the concept of one person, one vote. I feel strongly in my heart that a truly free and equal country, with a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, requires a ground-up structure, not a top-down structure. For that reason, it is my belief that superdelegates should not decide for the voter who is the winning candidate; that choice belongs to the voters. Florida's superdelegates should pledge their support to the candidate with the most voter support.

I'm starting this petition in hopes to secure the majority's voice in California.

This year, Senate Majority Leader Flanagan is stonewalling legislation that would clean up Albany. He has said many times that current laws are “effective.” A recent poll showed that 89% of New York voters view corruption as a serious problem. When asked about this huge sign of support for ethics reform, Senator Flanagan told reporters: “I have not seen the results of the poll.” He has also twice (!) gone on record in February stating that ethics reform will be a low priority for him because he hasn't been hearing concern from voters. Make sure Senator Flanagan get's the message!

Simply put: Politics should be based in truth rather than cronyism. Superdelegates should feel free to issue endorsements, as long as they commit to voting for the candidate with the most pledged delegates at the Democratic National Convention in July.

We need a sound, democratic voting process. I—and so many people I know of all ages and cultural backgrounds—feel less and less that our votes count. I want to know that superdelegates will use their position to represent the people they serve with integrity and to reflect the vote of the majority of the people.
