US voters must be offered a better choice on the November ballot than the unpopular Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. If Bernie Sanders is not running, we must fight onward with Jill Stein to take on Clinton and Trump in the presidential debates. By remaining united we can qualify Jill for the debates to make sure our progressive voices are not silenced, but continue to be heard in the 2016 presidential campaign. We will also be building a party for the 99% by merging the Bernie Sanders movement with the Green Party.

Pick almost any subject, issue, or topic of political discussion, in the past 36 years and you'll realize that the progressive voice has been systematically smothered under a pillow of right-wing ideals and money. Our government has been auctioned off to the highest bidders by the very system we've created through our ignorance and apathy. Under both parties our standard of living and dignity have both plummeted as our ability support ourselves has steadily declined over that same period of time. Under a Democrat, in cooperation with all Republicans, laws were passed that gave tax incentives to companies to take our good paying jobs overseas. This, in turn, left millions of prosperous, hard working, American's unemployed, destitute, depressed and fending for themselves. Our good paying jobs were systematically stolen from us and given to destitute people around the world willing to work for slave wages and working unspeakable hours while leaving them no time to be with their families. Eight years ago, Wall Street crashed the global economy by lying to the world about the quality of the mortgages their banks were underwriting. They stole billions of dollars from the American people through 'bail outs' and credit tightening measures while they gave themselves hundreds of millions of dollars in "performance bonuses." The result? Nobody went to jail or was even tried. British Petroleum (BP) ruined the Gulf of Mexico's seafood industry, our food supply and the financial future & health, of millions of people in the fishing industry depending on that food supply. The result? Nobody went to jail or was even tried. Under a Republican governor, over 100,000 people in Flint, Michigan were poisoned with lead because government officials wanted to "save money" by changing their water supply. Two years later, no one has done anything to fix the problem. Still… The result? As of yet, nobody has been tried in court or gone to jail. Both Parties currently have candidates that the public CLEARLY Prefers and yet both parties are doing everything in their power to sabotage and subvert the will of the people. At this point, it is clear that neither political Party represents their constituents any longer and that our country now responds only to the desires of billionaires and big business. It has been made abundantly clear to us that our voice no longer carries any weight with our political representation. Senator Bernie Sanders has distinguished himself as the political voice that most closely mirrors the value system at the core of the American spirit. That American spirit is best embodied in the following description: Being Honest & Living With Integrity Being Industrious & Hard-Working Being Helpful and Considerate of Your Neighbors, and Standing Up For Those Weaker Than Us Senator Sanders has proven his ability to convert our belief in his integrity into close to $50 million dollars per month in political contributions. That enormous sum of money translates into $2.4 billion dollars every four years. This is plenty of money to start a new political party that thinks like we do; a Party that believes in unity, prosperity, social justice and capitalism, as we do. It is for these reasons that we've come to the conclusion that it is time to harvest the best ideals from the decaying carcass of what’s left of the Democratic Party and bravely move into a future filled with the promise of a government responsive to the will and needs of it's citizens. Please join us and sign this petition to indicate your desire to help us form “a more perfect union” through your support of the American Change Party. We have only until June 5th to get 2 million signatures. Please sign our other MoveOn petition. It is our effort to control the Superdelegate vote in the different way. That petition plays on their worst fears. It is a nightmare, scenario that they will do ANYTHING to avoid having happen to them because it causes their entire down-ticket party structure to collapse.

After reading the open letter from Dr. Jill Stein to Bernie Sanders, the Dr recognized their common goals, but only offered partnership if Sanders loses against the Democratic Party system corruption. She didn'the offer partnership if he and his supporters win against the corruption of that machine. We want that.

We the undersigned voters petition you--in the interest of Party unity and keeping the White House in the hands of Democrats--to adhere to and carry out the following three conditions for securing our votes during the 2016 general election: 1) Cease all campaign fund raising efforts that privilege wealthy donors and/or corporations; this includes, but is not exclusive to, the following activities: large donor events (meal or social gathering-related); ending your campaign's coordination with super PACs (you will not be needing the services of David Brock any longer). Focus on raising money from the small donation contributors that made Bernie Sanders' unlikely bid so competitive. 2) Immediate halt to Clinton Global Initiatives fund raising from foreign governments, foreign dignatories and their respective agents or intermediaries 3) End all ties to Wall Street, fossil fuel industry and the defense contractor community. No phone calls, emails, speeches, or communication of any kind with said interest groups or their lobbyists. Complying with the three stipulations will earn you the credibility your campaign currently is in want of. Should Donald Trump win the Republican presidential nomination, he will not hesitate to bludgeon your already compromised campaign. You cannot expect to win the presidency without the support of Bernie voters; and you cannot secure their support without adopting these three stipulations.

Government of, by and for the people has become government of, by and for the corporations. We must wrest back our voice and our power through Free and Fair Elections. Signers of this petition are asking that the FBI and the FEC collaborate with California's Election Boards to ensure California voting machines do not harbor software to override voters' choices. This action must occur immediately so that it is in place for the upcoming California Republican and Democratic Primaries. We recommend that the FBI impound and examine a random sample of voting machines throughout California's election districts IMMEDIATELY following the close of the polls. In order to ensure that late removal of anything to alter the actual votes as cast does not happen, we need an official presence throughout the hours the polls are open. It should be broadly announced that such a random examination will occur and that prosecution of anyone involved in breaking election laws will also happen. California's voting results should NOT be certified until the examination of the machines and possible correction of the outcomes has occurred.

To get our citizens really informed about what is happening in their goverment!

This primary season has shined a new light on the levels of corruption and influence that plague our outdated systems. I served this country because I believed in what it stood for... If we do not take the necessary steps RIGHT NOW, TODAY to give the power back to the people, then we will crumble just as every other major power throughout history has. Only by recommitting to the true principles set forth at our nation's founding can we hope for a sustainable future. And only then, can we restore pride in service to those of us who are ashamed at what our government has become. We can do this together.

It’s common sense: Elections should go to whichever candidate gets the most votes. But in the Democratic Party’s primary system, that’s not how it works. Candidates also need to win a lot of “superdelegates” – unaccountable party insiders that make up almost one-fifth of the “delegates” up for grabs in the primary. That means superdelegates have about same voting power as 5.5 million ordinary voters in Texas, Florida, Ohio, and Michigan! Even worse, the 712 unelected, “superdelegates” get to vote however they want, regardless of which candidate ordinary voters choose. So even if voters choose one candidate in a close primary race for president, these superdelegates could overrule the people if it doesn’t go their way. Superdelegates like DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz shouldn’t have more of a say than you or me just because she’s a party insider. And superdelegates should NOT be able to overrule the will of the voters. Tell the DNC: Bring back democracy to the Democratic primary process and eliminate the superdelegate system for all future primaries!

I want our congress to get back to work on the real problems facing this nation and the world!

We are tired of gridlock in Congress and the fact that our elected officials' views often do not reflect the will of the people they represent. We have seen terrible voter suppression occur in the 2016 presidential primary and feel powerless against it. We need legislation to address these issues. Democracy Spring is asking the House of Representatives to vote on the following bills: • The Voter Empowerment Act (H.R. 12) • The Government By the People Act (H.R. 20) • The Democracy for All Amendment (H.J.Res. 22) • The Automatic Voter Registration Act (H.R. 2694) • The Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2015 (H.R. 2867) Representative Sarbanes of Maryland responded in support of Democracy Spring by signing this letter to the chairmen of the Committee on House Administration and the House Judiciary Committee: http://sarbanes.house.gov/sites/sarbanes.house.gov/files/FINAL_DemocracyHearing_MillerGoodlatte_04.21.16.pdf

The American people should receive a true democracy. That means the rights of the individual citizens to choose their president, not superpacs, superdelegates and anyone else who is not a citizen (such as a corporation, despite what Citizens United and the Supreme Court have ruled). ONE CITIZEN, ONE VOTE should be the rule, and this rule should elect our president. Independents should not be shut out of primary voting or any other part of the voting process. ONE CITIZEN, ONE VOTE!

The people are tired of having their voice snuffed out by money in politics!
