Progressives agreed with Scalia on almost nothing. This should have been a time to let his family grieve. Instead, within minutes, Republicans politicized the news. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said, "This vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President." Senator Ted Cruz declared, "Justice Scalia was an American hero. We owe it to him, and the nation, for the Senate to ensure that the next President names his replacement." Democratic Leader Harry Reid responded, "Failing to fill this vacancy would be a shameful abdication of one of the Senate's most essential Constitutional responsibilities." This could turn into a Constitutional crisis. Things are moving fast and conventional wisdom will unfortunately be formed quickly. Silence is not an option. The PCCC has already reached out to top Senate offices and will send this petition to Senators. The media will surely report on this public outcry.

Because Mitch McConnell and Chuck Grassley have stated unequivocally that they will stonewall whoever President Obama picks regardless of qualifications. This level of obstructionism is disgusting!

Progressives agreed with Scalia on almost nothing. But this should have been first and foremost about his family having time to grieve. Instead, within minutes, Republicans politicized the news -- saying the Senate should not confirm any nominee by President Obama. Ted Cruz declared, "Justice Scalia was an American hero. We owe it to him, and the nation, for the Senate to ensure that the next President names his replacement." Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said in a statement, "This vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President." Things are moving fast and conventional wisdom will unfortunately be formed quickly. Silence is not an option. We will send this petition to senators -- and the media will surely report on this public outcry. Again, this should have been first and foremost a time for the Justice's family to grieve. But with the stakes so high for workers, women, minorities, and so many other people, we cannot be silent as Republicans try to steal a Supreme Court seat by obstructing our constitutional process.

To MAKE SURE President Obama gets to appoint the next Supreme Court Justice.

I want to hear Kanye West's The Life of Pablo, that is all.

Every single superdelegate has stood for an election in the Democratic Party and won. They are members of Congress and party leaders who represent vested party interests. You do not ask in the middle of an election to suddenly drop a practice because your candidate isn't winning. The issue of superdelegates should be addressed at the proper time--after an election. And definitely not because the election is not going your way.

Voter turnout in the United States is staggeringly low. In the 2012 Presidential Election there was a voter turnout of 57.5%. That means more than 40% of eligible voters did or could not vote. Any US citizen who wants to vote should be able to, as simple as that.

Unfair values

I’d like to target John McCain, who is running for Senator in Arizona, to reject contributions from fossil fuel companies. It is because of companies, like those that deal with fossil fuels, buying representatives votes that the voice of democracy has basically become mute to the real causes that matter to the people.

It will not matter who becomes President if the state government is left in the hands of the Republican Party. Yet the Florida Democratic Party spends nearly all of its time and resources promoting the federal elections while it fails to contest the state legislature races.

I am starting this petition because once again an entire group of Americans are having their votes blocked! This is totally unfair and I am sure it was planned that way.

This petition is about returning to a truly "representative" government, and doing it NOW! Establishment power got into the "10%" by stacking the deck against the populace of America and continues to rig the entire system towards an ever-growing income, influence and standard of living inequality. This needs to stop before a 2nd American Revolution is needed.
