Bribing voters is illegal. Bribing delegates isn’t -- but should be. Tell Ted Cruz 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 Ted Cruz 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.

The Wolf administration is working on a Clean Power Plan for Pennsylvania, but the plan is anything but clean. • The Clean Power Plan puts natural gas in the “clean” column • The Clean Power Plan guarantees reliance on natural gas • The Clean Power Plan doesn’t limit how much a state can rely on gas to meet its target • The Clean Power Plan institutionalizes and enables pollution • The Clean Power Plan means we can kiss a fracking moratorium or ban goodbye Pennsylvanians Against Fracking is asking for your support in telling Governor Wolf, DEP Secretary John Quigley, and Wolf’s energy advisor, David Sweet, that Pennsylvania urgently needs a real clean power plan.

Cable providers have held a monopoly on cable boxes for too long. Consumers are forced to rent these locked boxes for an average of $231 / year. The FCC has proposed a rule that would end this monopoly, driving innovation, bringing down costs for consumers, and making it simple to get streaming content in every American home.

Every human in our world is being affected by this heinous act. False reason wars have killed & maimed thousands of innocent people based on the lies of 9/11.

Can you believe this is legal? Recent Boston Globe headlines revealed that Governor Baker and the Massachusetts GOP are using a loophole in a law meant to limit big money in politics by funneling big donor dollars from the federal GOP account into Baker's campaign coffers. A recent decision by the Office of Campaign and Political Finance (OCPF) just said that this is okay. Unless we act now, huge campaign contributions and more secret money will pour into Massachusetts elections at an alarming rate. Join us in demanding quick action to keep huge contributions and secret money out of our state elections!

Big Cable is running a scam that makes millions of Americans pay them money for nothing. And even worse, this racket is locking us out of a more open, diverse, and accessible media. Here's how it works: if you have a cable subscription, then there's probably a rental fee for your set top box snuck into your bill. At $10 or $20 a month, that's an average of $231 per year! This means you end up paying the full cost of the device -- but the rental fee doesn't ever go away. But even more costly is the way Big Cable is stifling innovation and competition by restricting what we are able to access through their devices. The FCC can change this and turn a stagnant element of the electronics landscape into an innovative one that could bring more diversity in programming to our TVs. It's time for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to break up this racket. Right now, the FCC is considering new rules that would let consumers choose freely where they get set top boxes -- instead of shackling them to the cable companies. They're soliciting public comments, so let's make sure they hear loud and clear that it's time to break up this monopoly. Send a message to Chairman Wheeler right now and urge him to #UnlockTheBox!

Gov. Chris Christie wants to give the Ivanka Trumps of New Jersey a tax cut. He's pushing hard to repeal New Jersey's estate tax, and says eliminating taxes on inherited wealth is "tax fairness." The worst part? Some Democrats are listening, and have moved a bill forward in the State Senate. The truth is that repealing New Jersey's estate tax would only benefit the very wealthy and their heirs, and working families would pay the price. We've been down this road before in New Jersey. When millionaires got a tax cut in 2010, we ended up paying for it with billions in cuts to schools, property tax relief, public safety, and other services on which we all rely. Eliminating the estate tax would only benefit the rich, while forcing the rest of us to pick up the tab. Christie's brand of trickle-down economics has failed New Jersey, and our legislators know it. They should reject Christie's call for any further tax cuts for the super-rich.

Please do something about how you are running our state into the ground with our higher taxes, taking away from the schools, putting a hold on the teacher's retirement package, all because your programs have failed. I can hardly wait for November and to mark all the democrats as the winners. Even the newspapers (Lawrence Journal World) is commenting on how the Republicans are disgusted by your mess you've created. Thanks, and have a good day!

Thousands of voices were silenced in the Arizona & New York elections and now Rhode Island has announced 66% of polls will be closed. We the people demand to have our right to vote restored. We call on the POTUS to intervene and establish a bi-partisan commission of registered citizen auditors to oversee the rest of the primary election. We call for a re-vote in the states of Arizona and New York, where tens of thousands of voters went to the polls to find we were no longer registered to a political party. We demand support from our elected officials. The future of both parties depends on it.
