The Ethiopian Government continues its genocidal actions with killings, abductions, abusing, and threatening of more and more people and on a daily basis forcing them leave the country as refugees in hundreds against all odds and consequences.

We all know Bernie is being starved of Media attention. We all know this is the biggest draw back to his campaign. It may be early to start talking about VP's, but I think this may be just the thing to take the lead and maintain it in the primaries. Vice Presidents have been in the discussion lately, from Warren to O'Malley, I think we seriously consider another contender. Bernie Sanders and Jon Stewart for president and vice president. Stewart can handle the media, he can excite his base, he can get and handle all kinds of media attention. He can handle law makers, pundits and citizens alike. I would hate to be his opponent on the debate stage. Bernie Sanders, Jon Stewart, you two could fix the country together. We would be behind you 100% of the way!

Donald Trump is a racist and a bigot, but the political committee that works to elect Republicans to the Senate has been profiting off of his name by selling Trump-branded merchandise since May. North Carolina Senator Richard Burr (R) has criticized some of Trump's remarks, but he's still accepting support from the sale of Trump merchandise to help his 2016 re-election campaign. In a recent email, a Republican committee encouraged supporters to “claim” the “perfect gift” — a Trump koozie for $12 — “just in time for the holidays!” They’re also selling bumper stickers that read “I’m with Trump,” further proof that Republicans like Senator Portman are willing to stand with Trump and his divisive ideas when it leads to a payoff for their campaigns. It is absolutely hypocritical for Republicans to denounce Donald Trump while accepting campaign contributions raised in his name! If Richard Burr truly represents the values of North Carolina, he will demand that the National Republican Senatorial Committee stop using Donald Trump’s racism as a fundraising tool and refuse any donations made in his name. Please join with me in demanding that North Carolina Senator Richard Burr reject all funds raised by Trump’s racism and bigotry!

Democracy Matters students across the country have been organizing on college campuses, raising awareness of the core structural issue of money in politics and how dealing with it is a critical first step to solving all other issues. In recognition of this truth, Bernie Sanders signed our pledge in October 2014 and has made restoring democracy for all a central pillar of his campaign. Despite being asked numerous times directly, the Clinton campaign has decline to join him in support for restoring democracy. On December 8th in New Hampshire, a Democracy Matters student directly asked Secretary Clinton to sign the pledge. Despite declaring that she supported the full text of the pledge, she again refused to sign, but promised to consider it. Almost two weeks later we have heard nothing from the campaign. VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cvVvdy9O0Y We are non-partisan and are not supporting any candidate in this primary. However given the broad bi-partisan support for getting big money out of politics, it is important that all 3 democratic candidates publicly pledge to support restoring democracy. Hillary Clinton can make that happen.

Because I have been victimized by my medical licensing board on behalf of a lying criminal (former patient) who filed a knowingly false complaint to the MA BORIM, and they wrongly launched a year(+) long investigation against me even though I have obtained a Harassment Prevention Order (Restraining order for the unrelated) against the Complainant for her ongoing harassment against me! Despite the BORIM knowing her complaint against me was baseless and fraught with fraud and the fact that I have said restraining order against the Complainant, they continue to persecute me because one of the services I provide at MD Medical Spa and Wellness Center is medical marijuana certifications. I am being victimized on behalf of a criminal and blocked to earn a living by my medical licensing board, all because they refuse to have Complainants attest and sign to thee validity of their complaint and the contents within! Please sign, a statement of attest should be required for complaints made against ALL professionals in MA!!

Democracy demands transparency and accountability, DWS has violated each of these tenets and should retire.

This petition is to encourage MoveOn.org to hold a membership vote to endorse a Democratic candidate for President before the Iowa Primary. On the “Run Warren Run” website MoveOn states: “We will encourage all candidates to embrace the Warren agenda on the economy, pursue diplomacy over war, fight to get big money out of politics and address climate change, and present an agenda that speaks to the growing demands of the Movement for Black Lives, the need for immigration reform, and the whole of the progressive coalition.” No candidate role models these qualities better than Bernie Sanders. A large portion of his campaign platform is in line with the agenda sort after by MoveOn. Through this petition we want to encourage a similar voting process as recently carried out by Democracy for America. They were a key partner in the Run Warren Run campaign and its membership overwhelmingly decided to support Bernie’s campaign. We would like the membership of MoveOn to have the same opportunity.

Here’s the truth: from the first day of Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign, their continued success has shocked many of the Democratic Party Establishment who would have preferred a coronation over a competitive campaign. On December 18th, due to a fault in their own technology platforms, the DNC took unprecedented steps to take away our access to data accumulated through tens of thousands of voter contacts made by our volunteers — supporters like you who power our political revolution. In essence, the Democratic Establishment is effectively shutting down our ability to access the information we need for field campaigns and volunteer activities just six weeks before the Iowa caucuses. We're sending out this petition to the Oregon members of the DNC, who represent us within the national party, to reverse this draconian 'punishment' and put 'democracy' back into the Democratic Party. DNC members across the country are just as outraged as we are: As Heather Mizeur, a Committeewoman on the Democratic National Committee (DNC) stated: "If the DNC doesn't reverse its decision to give the Sanders campaign access to its voter file data again, I am ready to resign my post as a Democratic National Committeewoman from Maryland in protest. The DNC is expected to stay neutral and supportive of all candidates during the primaries and their response to this situation is heavy-handed and ill-conceived.” We need 'Democracy' BACK in the Democratic Party!

President Obama has the authority to direct the Department of Defense to automatically upgrade the less-than-honorable discharges to Honorable Discharges for gay and lesbian veterans who were kicked out solely because they were guilty of being homosexuals. This presidential option is no different than when President Jimmy Carter on his first day in office on 1/21/1977, issued an Executive Order granting unconditional pardons to hundreds of thousands of men who evaded the draft during the Vietnam War. Over 100,000 veterans who served honorably received less-than-honorable discharges simply for being gay or lesbian. Title 10 USC §1553 Current rules requires that each such veteran apply individually to a Discharge Review Board, or a Board of Correction of Military Records, to right this wrong. Most of these requests are denied because the boards presume the correctness of the original discharge and place the burden of proving otherwise on the individual veteran making it a costly and multi-year long process. Veterans’ less-than-honorable discharges become “scarlet letters”, barring them from veterans’ benefits, costing them government and other jobs, leaving many to grapple with shame for decades. Since “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was repealed, Congress has refused to act on the proposed “Restore Honor to Service Members Act” that would grant upgrades to veterans discharged solely for being gay. So, we need President Obama to issue an Executive Order to upgrade those discharges now!

As a long term Democratic Party supporter I am truly disappointed in the way the party has treated Bernie Sanders. The political machine appears to want to deny voters the ability to hear what Sanders has to say. Let the voters determine who the Democratic candidate will be!

Debbie has sought her new precious in Hillary Clinton whom she clearly wants to utilize for her own political gain. She has come here from Middle Earth after clearly having failed to secure her place within Sauron's inner circle following his defeat at the hands of the companions. She has now set her sights on the United States of America after seeing a bit of herself in Hillary. We can't let that happen. Sign this petition now and demand Obama to deport her back to Mordor and also have Hillary thrown back into the fires of Mount Doom.

The Democratic Chair person should have the best interest of the party in mind. Mrs. Schultz has undermined the debate schedule. She has shown bias toward her friend Hillary Clinton.
