It's the biggest threat to democracy that nobody is talking about. The same Big Money forces buying our elections are trying to rewrite our Constitution -- and they’ve almost succeeded. They're working with groups like ALEC (the corporate lobby disguised as a charity) to ram a so-called "constitutional convention" through state legislatures. Exploiting obscure provisions of Article V of our Constitution, they'd grant delegates unprecedented and unlimited power with zero checks or balances. In other words: political ideologues could enact their entire agenda without voter input -- costing the rest of us our fundamental rights and liberties. This ALEC-led campaign has already succeeded in 27 of the 34 states they need. And, they’ve got the money and organization to go over the top this year. That means we'll be fighting back in states like South Carolina, Wisconsin, Virginia, and more -- and we want you on our side. We can’t afford to stand by and watch Big Money shred our Constitution. Take our pledge so we’ll be ready to fight back.

To serve democracy and stop the betrayal of public trust by revealing abuses of power, corruption and secret campaign contributors.

We do not think you understand how committed we Bernie Sanders supporters are! There will be zero chance of getting our vote the next time you are up for election in New York if you do not endorse Bernie Sanders for President in the Primary as a superdelegate of the DNC. It appears that you are more interested in gaining favors with Clinton than delving into the myriad of potential crises that face our nation and the world. We have had but a taste of what climate change holds in store for us this year with record shattering temperatures, droughts, floods and extreme weather events that have become the norm. The economy is poised for a complete downturn that we can only hope is as bad as the 2008 catastrophe. We are only going to waste our time telling you where Sanders and Clinton stand on one issue, because the facts are clear; Sanders is the only President who can lead the charge against the enormous difficulties that we face. We have seen flowering bushes in New York that have started budding in the middle of winter. This foreshadows massive plant, tree and crop failures which indicate that the stakes are complete and utter human extinction. And you are really considering a Clinton endorsement when she has been indecisive on Keystone XL, one of the most recognized recent environmental victories? You probably know that Sanders was against dredging up the most evil of oils in the tar sands of Canada from day one. Sanders stood against TransCanada and the free trade deals that Clinton supported, which have opened the doors wide for multinational corporations to sue against our civil liberties. Clinton now says she is against KXL and TPP, but we have seen little evidence that this would hold true if elected. We know where Sanders stood, stands and will continue to stand. We pledge a non-vote for you no matter what, if you do not endorse Bernie Sanders. We will seek out and encourage opponents in your upcoming races, throwing our full support behind them. If you are not with us, you are against us in these desperate times. By now, you are probably hearing exactly how dedicated us Bernie Sanders volunteers and supporters are! We see that there is truly no positive outcome for our nation without swift and responsible measures, of which, Sanders has been saying and acting upon without waver for the past thirty years in office. As you may know, Sanders is the only Democratic candidate, born and raised in New York State, that countless polls claim is poised to wipe the floor with the current Republican Presidential frontrunners. It is not too late to claim our Democracy from the insidious donor class, which fills the coffers of campaigns, such as yours, by waging war upon those of the lower classes. Slowly but surely accumulating more wealth as representatives like you claim, “it is for the greater good”. We know it is really for the good of your career. The lower class is growing, as agreements that are supposedly “free trade” deals and weak bank regulations espoused by Clinton destroy the middle class. If you have studied history than you know what happens when there is great income disparity and high hopes or expectations for better conditions. It is an outrage that a Democratic candidate for President is shunned by an establishment sympathizer such as yourself. He is the first candidate in many of our lifetimes who is actually embracing truly Democratic principles and succeeding on a national level, while not accepting Super PAC contributions and those clearly corrosive corporate monies. Imagine our power if elected representatives and officials actually stood up for what they must know is morally right. Sanders is representing, in every way, the majority of American people on every single issue, can you say the same? Claim the endorsement that you know you want. Listen to that part of your conscience that actually cares about people other than yourself or watch as us Bernie or Bust true Democrats vote for anyone but you in upcoming elections.

We the people demand that Hillary R Clinton, presidential candidate in 2016 release all transcripts of her paid speeches to any and all Wall street connected firms and all banks to include Goldman Sachs, Citibank, etc

New York City's prominence among progressive circles makes it self-evident that it host one of the additional debates. As this election is, to a large degree, about determining the direction of the Democratic Party, it is imperative that New York City's voices are heard and questions answered before a nationally televised audience.

Getting the State of Nevada to look into potential wrong-doing with the Clinton Campaign, for violating Nev. Rev. Stat. §293.505(10) - which states: However, persons assisting voters in completing the application to register to vote by mail must not solicit a vote for or against a particular question or candidate; speak to a voter on the subject of marking his or her ballot for or against a particular question or candidate; or distribute any petition or other material concerning a candidate or question which will be on the ballot for the ensuing election, while registering an elector.

Hillary laughed when journalist Lee Fang asked her to release the text of her speeches. Corruption is no laughing matter.

The Trans Pacific Partnership agreement was signed on Feb. 3. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren has called on Congress to reject the agreement. "I hope Congress will use its constitutional authority to stop this deal before it makes things even worse and even more dangerous for America's hardest-working families," Warren said on Feb. 2. [1] DNC chair and Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz was one of only 28 House Democrats to vote for "fast track" legislation enabling the TPP negotiations to go forward. [2] Her stance on the final TPP agreement will likely have a decisive impact on the Congressional debate. Wasserman Schultz has a Democratic primary opponent, Tim Canova, who is a sharp critic of the TPP agreement. [3] A debate on the TPP between Wasserman Schultz and Canova will help educate and engage the broad public on the issues at stake. Doctors Without Borders [MSF] says that the TPP deal is "the worst trade deal ever for access to medicines and will make life-saving treatments unaffordable for those who need them most." [4] Urge Debbie Wasserman Schultz to agree to debate Tim Canova on the TPP by signing our petition.

I am personally offended as a native New Yorker that Hillary Clinton refuses to debate here, where she served us for 7 years as senator. Hillary Clinton does not make the rules; we live in a democracy. Bernie Sanders has agreed to the debates she requested, she must agree to debate Bernie Sanders in N.Y.

Governor Rick Snyder should be arrested, because in 2014, Flint's emergency manager disconnected the city from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) and started providing residents with water from the Flint River. But the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality told the city that it did not need required corrosion controls, so lead leached into Flint's drinking water, poisoning residents for over a year. To make matters worse, the Snyder Administration and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality ignored the people of Flint for months as they reported issues with their tap water, the state used inappropriate methods for testing the city's drinking water, and, worst of all, despite knowing that there was a problem with lead, the state kept telling residents that the water was safe to drink. The governor's actions are downright unconscionable. The children of Flint drank toxic water for more than a year and have been exposed to lead, which could result in permanent developmental problems and brain damage. The Flint crisis is being called a manmade disaster. We know there is one man who was instrumental in its creation: Rick Snyder. This happened under his watch, and he must bear the consequences of his actions.

The movement calling for redistricting reform is growing around the country, in large part because more and more Americans are realizing that fixing how we draw electoral maps is a key part to improving our democracy. Three Democratic lawmakers form the Atlanta area have filed two bills that would create an independent redistricting commission, and also forbid map drawers from creating districts that favor one party or another.

North Carolinians deserve to have their voices heard. We need ballot initiatives and referendums to ensure that the political power in our state is used in the best interest of our people. Allow the citizens of North Carolina to directly petition the state for new laws, or for changes to current laws. Ballot initiatives would allow the citizens of North Carolina to petition to have laws introduced by referendum, where the people themselves vote rather than a representative. Help us protect our beaches and tourism from offshore drilling, give our teachers the support they need, protect the right to vote, defend our environment, or bring your own cause to the people. The possibilities are endless once we have this power back in our hands. Please sign and share this petition with your friends and family. Together we can make a difference. Together we can make a positive change. Thank you.
