California's Supreme Court ruled that Californians have the right to vote on whether to tell Congress and the legislature to pass a constitutional amendment overturning Citizens United. But then they refused to put Prop 49 back on the ballot. It's outrageous! So now it's up to the legislature to put the Overturn Citizens United Act back on the ballot by passing SB 254, authored by Senators Ben Allen and Mark Leno. Assemblymember Adrin Nazarian is a key vote on the Assembly Elections Committee which votes next Wednesday. Sign the petition asking him to vote for SB 254 now!

To demand a public apology from Disney and ABC to Kelly Ripa

The Utah Republican Convention is this weekend, and the GOP will be voting on a resolution by Lowell Nelson, former vice chairman of the state Republican Party, that “encourages public officials at all levels of government to nullify any federal order, act, opinion, or regulation” which they personally believe is unconstitutional. Nelson says he expects his resolution to easily win approval among the GOP convention delegates, but we’re calling on you to let him and the rest of the Republican party know that this is not the way our leaders should behave.

The U.S. is a nation of laws, where all should be equal under the law. We, the undersigned, are concerned that Hillary Clinton will be not be fully investigated or prosecuted by the FBI due to her wealth, position and political power. The decision to implement the laws of our nation re Mrs. Clinton's private email server is dependent on the courage of Dir. of the FBI, James Comey. We ask Dir. Comey to treat Mrs. Clinton as he would any other citizen of the US. Do not hold her above the law in this or any other matter. Thank you.

There is an ongoing war on voter rights in our country, and we are losing. In 2016, 17 states will have new voting restrictions in place for the first time in a presidential election. The new laws range from strict photo ID requirements to early voting cutbacks to registration restrictions. Overall, 22 states have new restrictions in effect since the 2010 midterm election. You can see the result in long lines, and people turned away from the polls. Rather than fighting a battle in the states after the fact, Obama can take action on the federal level to make it easier, not harder to vote. He can sign executive orders to make federal agencies do more for voters, and make the Department of Justice take an active role in stopping the voter suppression. But Obama needs to hear from us on how important voting rights are, and that we demand action now.

Bribing voters is illegal. Bribing delegates isn’t -- but should be. Tell John Kasich and the rest of the presidential candidates to take the #NoDelegateBribes pledge. As competition for delegates grows fierce in both parties' primaries, the presidential campaigns may resorting to "delegate buying." Campaigns can lavish delegates with gifts and free travel, in hopes of influencing their votes at the convention. That's not how our democracy should work. Delegates shouldn’t be tempted to support the candidate who gave them the most gifts. We're calling on candidates to take the "No Delegate Bribes" pledge -- to refrain from offering delegates anything of value in an attempt to swing their votes, and urge independent groups that support them to do the same. Candidates also must support changing convention rules to expressly forbid this sort of delegate buying. Anything less than that undermines public trust in our democracy, and reinforces voters' cynicism about our political process. Join Common Cause in asking John Kasich and the rest of the presidential candidates to sign the #NoDelegateBribes pledge. It would send a clear message that this election is about the voters -- not backroom bribes.
