Polls showed Sanders leading 60-40 just prior to this primary. Thousands of Independents who registered as Democrats to vote for Sanders couldn't vote because "official records" didn't reflect their registration. Any adjustments for "next time" ignore the fact that popular will is being short-circuited and the Democratic Party needs to look different from the Republicans in cases of election fraud. Democratic elites and Clinton supporters aren't going to complain, so we must.

Thanks to North Carolina's HB2, passed hastily on the hush-hush, it's legal in the state for businesses to discriminate based on sexual orientation or gender identity. The ACLU has called the law the "most extreme anti-LGBT measure in the country." Businesses don't like the law and have been speaking out against it, hoping to pressure our state to reconsider. The NBA voiced deep concern that "this discriminatory policy runs counter to our guiding principles of equality and mutual respect and do not yet know what impact it will have on our ability to successfully host the 2017 All-Star Game in Charlotte." Losing the All-Star Game would be a tragedy for North Cack. But the NBA is missing the point. The law doesn't have to be anti-LGBT. The game could still be a success, and even take advantage of new freedoms: the NBA could just bar every straight, non-LGBT fan from the game! We could still watch from home, no sweat. It's legal, and surely in the spirit of what Governor Pat McCrory and the legislature had in mind when they passed the bill. Plus, the after-parties would be great. As a law-abiding North Carolinian, it would make me proud to keep the All-Star Game, and do it like only we can.

The Mineral Extraction Overlay is unlawful; Penn Township should revise the ordinance to limit industrial oil and gas activities to the industrial zones. By using this MEO, Penn Township is converting most of the agricultural zone into an industrial zone. This upends the investment-backed expectations of the people who moved to the agricultural zones, which violates principles of due process. There is no indication that Penn Township first evaluated the impacts to water, air, human health, aesthetics and the other values protected by Article I Section 27 of the Pennsylvania Constitution; that constitutes a violation of the constitution because it fails to ensure that citizens will not suffer harm to their constitutionally protected interests and because it constitutes a failure of Penn Township to fulfill its constitutional duty to be a trustee of public natural resources. By blanketing existing zones with a new use that is out of character of the zoned land beneath it, the MEO is an impermissible application of the township’s zoning power. While municipalities do have the power to use zoning laws to regulate the gas industry, they must apply those laws in a way that are constitutional, and follow established legal precedent on zoning laws. The MEO District produces just such an irrational scheme by allowing a single type of industrial use – natural gas development – in otherwise non-industrial zones. PLEASE GIVE FULL ADDRESS

Roundup® is terrible for people and the planet. It’s a probable carcinogen. We are likely eating it every day in our food. And its massive overuse has destroyed critical habitat, leading to the decline of monarch butterflies. Sign the petition: Tell the USDA to test for this toxic pesticide in our food!

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania should embrace Senator Sanders' clear, consistent, and credible progressive agenda in the 2016 presidential race.

The Carrizo/comecrudo have been a part of Texas since its inception and before first Contact and are continuously ignored and marginalized, treated as if their lands are up for grabs. We only request that the Land and Land rights be returned to the Tribe.

Donald Trump is an unmitigated bigot, who will likely be the Republican nominee for president. His toxic mix of racism, sexism, and xenophobia have made his campaign the most divisive in modern history. His inflammatory rhetoric has incited acts of violence at his campaign rallies, including a group of White men surrounding and aggressively pushing a young Black woman at a rally on March 1 and a White Trump supporter sucker-punching a Black protester at a rally on March 9.[1] Trump’s campaign manager was also recently arrested and charged with battery of a journalist.[2] Donald Trump’s well-documented history of racist, sexist, and xenophobic rhetoric doesn't stop there. It also includes: * Immediately exploiting the attacks in Brussels to call again for building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and for a ban to prevent Muslims from entering the country.[3] * Attacking Mexicans and calling them "rapists."[4] * Inciting and endorsing violence against Black Lives Matter activists and other anti-Trump demonstrators. * Refusing to consistently denounce and reject support from the KKK and other hate groups. The number of documented instances where Donald Trump and his supporters have harassed or attacked anti-Trump protestors is growing by the day."[5] The truth is that Trump doesn't represent the values most Americans hold dear. He is winning a minority of votes from a sliver of the electorate—and yet that may be enough to boost him to a national party nomination and give mainstream legitimacy to his hateful ideas. The way to defeat Trump—and the bigotry that is fueling his campaign—is to demonstrate that Americans who renounce his views greatly outnumber those who endorse him. Let's all take a stand now: Regardless of who else is on the ballot, it's critical that Americans of goodwill pledge to keep Donald Trump out of the White House and to send a clear rebuke to the bigotry at the heart of his campaign. After you've signed the pledge, please tell us in the comments section why you are voting against Trump’s hate. Sources: 1.

My family, like so many others have continuously and faithfully watched The Voice. The change in coaches to Miley Cyrus is offensive to the family values this show has built its ratings on. We encourage NBC and The powers of The Voice to change their minds on Miley becoming a new judge next season. We will not watch the New season if she is a judge.

Hillary and her team recently said that she will not debate with Bernie because of his "tone". As a major presidential candidate she should show democracy and let the people of New York hear about the democratic party policies for the future.

As a progressive news outlet Rolling Stone has a long history of endorsing forward looking and progressive politics. Mrs. Hillary Clinton is far from that. Reconsider your choice of endorsing Clinton for President of the United States and endorse Senator Bernie Sanders. Rolling Stone needs to rethink it's position and work to restore our faith in the integrity and courage that it's heritage espouse.

While the people of Maine have overwhelmingly presented their support for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, those elected in the past and present to represent the people are failing to echo the voice of their constituents. We the people of Maine are frustrated with yet another demonstration of a broken system. We ask that the superdelegates of Maine represent the people of Maine. We currently have only one superdelegate who has pledged to support Bernie Sanders and we would like to thank Troy Jackson for doing so.

Thousands of people in our community work hard but are struggling financially because they cannot access jobs that pay a living wage. Unfortunately, many of the same people can't access workforce programs because of limited English or formal education. The new Fund would help close these gaps and ensure that everyone has a chance to find a decent job and build a career.
