Congressman Rick Larsen has made a habit of late, of ignoring the concerns of his constituents. When the people of the 2nd CD demanded he vote no on the TPA, he voted yes anyways. When the people of the 2nd CD demanded he not support the TPP, he did anyways. When the people of the 2nd CD demanded he not support coal and oil trains passing through the district, and new coal and oil terminals being built, he did so anyways. And when they demanded he use his super delegate vote to support Bernie Sanders after his sweeping win of Washington State, Rick insisted on supporting Hillary and mocked Bernie supporters. Larsen has for too long dodged the issues, and now that he has a more progressive primary opponent (Mike Lapointe), Rick Larsen refuses to debate, let alone meet with him. So please stand with me and demand that Congressman Larsen debate Mike Lapointe on the issues so that come the August primary, voters can make a more informed choice about who they want in office.

Washington has spoken and overwhelmingly supports Bernie Sanders for President by nearly 3:1. We expect our Democratic Super Delegate leaders and representatives to immediately pledge their vote for the people’s choice: Bernie Sanders

Democratic superdelegates may choose their preferred candidate without regard to the will of the people. Superdelegates may change their vote at any time before the convention in July. Rep. Rush currently supports the wrong candidate and should support Bernie Sanders.

This is a petition to demand that Hillary Clinton follow the lead set forth by Bernie Sanders in granting the people of this nation the opportunity to vet the candidates by respectful debate. It is in both Democratic candidates interest to speak openly regarding their proposals and to engage in respectful debate regarding each.

DNC officials say they are waiting for confirmation from HRC's camp, HRC's camp says it's waiting to hear from the DNC. WELL HEAR IT FROM US: New Yorkers deserve to be PERSONALLY ADDRESSED by US Presidential Candidates on issues including (but not ltd to) police brutality, job creation and living wages, public education, healthcare, drug addiction and the war on drugs, and immigration and citizenship. If you're too scared of a lil public whoopin on national television, then maybe the position of POTUS isn't for you! ───▄▀▀▀▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▀▀▀▄─── ───█▒▒░░░░░░░░░▒▒█─── ────█░░█░░░░░█░░█──── ─▄▄──█░░░▀█▀░░░█──▄▄─

Simply put, the superdelegate system is extremely undemocratic. It has never been used this way before. These superdelegates do not vote until July, so showing information as if a vote has taken place is as ridiculous as asking them to commit to someone instead of responding to the electorate at the time of the convention. Giving a group of Democratic party loyalists and politicians a "super vote" gives elites more power than the average voter and is swaying our votes! Feel the Bern and bring some integrity back to the democratic process. Having a fair election is an uphill battle and of utmost importance. As Clinton has continued her agenda to "lock up" superdelegate party insiders, the media has followed suit showing information that has never been shown to viewers to convince the electorate that this neck-a-neck race is already won. We elect the superdelegates and they are supposed to represent us. We need to know their allegiance is with us and that they will not block a popular vote!

Bernie Sanders has expressed his desire to debate Hillary Clinton in the state of New York. Both campaigns have agreed to two more debates. New York is the next delegate-rich state in the Northeast to vote.

The LGBTQ community is a community of human beings who have had their rights as humans removed, now having little to no protection under the law. As Americans, we cannot stand idle as our governments create second-class standards for humans they have labeled "other." The NBA All-Star game is supposed to be open to everyone. North Carolina government's ideals counter that core belief.

This petition is about restoring public access to a protected and navigationally critical part of New York Harbor that small boats could use to bypass the busy, tidally active and potentially dangerous main channel. It asks the Coast Guard to weigh very specific safety arguments against never-quite-articulated security concerns that have put this piece of public water off limits for almost 15 years.

Despite Donald Trump's sexist, racist comments, Amazon is promoting and profiting from him and his brand. The online behemoth sells Trump's line of menswear--even though companies like Macy's bailed on Trump's brand of hate last year. Trump is inciting violence at his rallies and spewing vitriol that white supremacists like David Duke love. So why is Amazon continuing to support the Trump empire? Many of us use Amazon, and the company has responded to our pressure before over the selling of sexist products. It needs to follow suit when it comes to Trump products. Will you add your name now?

My children are about to graduate from high school. I am concerned for their futures.
