Refusing to do her job as County Clerk - and taking such a strong anti-LGBT position are not what the Democratic Party is about. It is time for the party and party leaders to do the right thing and distance themselves publicly from this intolerable behavior from a fellow Democrat.

Senator Bernie Sanders says, "American democracy is not about billionaires being able to buy candidates and elections. It is not about the Koch brothers, Sheldon Adelson and other incredibly wealthy individuals spending billions of dollars to elect candidates who will make the rich richer and everyone else poorer." That's why we need a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. Will you sign the petition to Congress to take back our democracy?

Donald Trump and the Republicans made their case to a TV audience of 24 million in August, while the Democrats are silent until mid-October. Democrats in Iowa are being asked to make their decision after only 4 debates. Restricting candidates from debating the issues is undemocratic, and it hurts the candidates and voters who must decide who to support without enough information. The DNC Chair must #AllowDebate!

Bermuda's political system needs to be reformed. There is a breakdown in trust of politicians and this does not work in Bermuda’s public interest or for the island’s common good. In addition to the current representational democracy, an amendment to the Referendum Act will give Bermuda’s electorate the ability to agree or disagree with any given proposal or issue and have a say in how Bermuda will face those changes. Switzerland already has this unique system (semi-direct democracy) in place and it works. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voting_in_Switzerland Issues and initiatives would be decided by referendum and specifically through a mechanism whereby a petition signed by 10% of the electorate automatically triggers a binding referendum. Many issues are not being addressed adequately by Bermuda's politicians, whether they be too sensitive, do not adhere to the ruling party's agenda, not convenient to the electoral cycle or otherwise. If this amendment to the Referendum Act is passed, subsequent petitions with enough voters' signatures will be actionable by finally making politicians truly accountable to the electorate. This will encourage better initial transparency and consultation.

Constituency number would be appreciated as well. #3 Bermudian abroad currently not eligible to vote #4 Anyone else who feels that this is important for Bermuda Thank you for taking the time to consider

It's silly that we can't. Why make it a big hassle?

The democratic process in America has been chipped at piecemeal by outside forces since the birth of the nation; today, it is being attacked from within by the very leaders entrusted to protect it. As a constituency, we grow from engaging, open and vibrant debates. “We the people” have that in our blood. Open debates let us whittle down candidates until we get close to one that mirrors our attitudes and beliefs as Democrats. The current DNC chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, evidently does not feel she is part of that process. Debbie Wasserman Schultz: She is bad for democracy She is bad for the party We demand that she is removed from her position as DNC chair.

If I were a woman with limited finances I know Planned Parenthood would be crucial for me.

Donald's use of "immigrants" is code for "Mexicans" or any other brown-skinned people who speak a language he doesn't understand.

Despite the disastrous Citizens United decision allowing unlimited anonymous corporate political spending, there's an easy way to expose much of it. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) can require public corporations to report political spending in shareholder publications available to everyone. All U.S. Senators know the SEC has this power, and now 44 Democratic Senators have signed a letter asking the SEC to use it. No Republicans have signed on yet. Please urge the remaining 2 Democrats, Senators Donnelly and Manchin, to join their colleagues to unanimously demand commonsense corporate disclosure now.

The last government shutdown, instigated by Senator Ted Cruz, cost the country billions of dollars. Workers suffered loss of wages. Commerce was adversely affected. The public was denied access to national parks and other venues. No congressperson should have the power to inflict this kind of damage on the entire nation.

Kris Kobach has already done everything in his power to pervert the role of the Secretary of State in Kansas elections. He has created a false issue of voter fraud, is currently attempting to prevent over 30,000 Kansas citizens from voting and received unconstitutional powers of persecution (not prosecution, since no laws are being broken). His actions arouse suspicion and this obstruction of a simple audit only adds to the suspicion that he is not serving the people and abusing the duties of his office.
