Due to the overwhelming following of US Senator Bernard Sanders we are requesting a review of the votes of pre-pledged Superdelegates and their reconsideration of support for Senator Sanders, especially in those states he has won where very few to zero Superdelgates have unfairly sided against Senator Sanders. The Democratic National Committee has soared in new membership numbers due to the millions of Senator Sanders supporters. He has repeatedly shown his strong following of supporters with rallies larger than any Democrat or Republican to date. 27,000 plus in New York. 31,000 in one of the many California rallies recently... Please respect the popular vote with your support in this election cycle.. Thank you http://superdelegatelist.com/list California Mixed primary

The American people should know exactly what Trump is hiding.

We recently witnessed the sale and leasing of several Housing Authority controlled properties in the Civic Center area, to a developer, with very little public input or consideration. In 2013 the Main Street Parking Commission was dissolved. The Housing Authority was granted control of the long standing west side parking lot for Main Street residents, shop owners, their employees and customers. The land had been previously controlled by a Parking Commission, that had maintained the lot before the city had incorporated. Our previous city leaders abolished the Parking Commission and handed the land over to the Housing Authority. The Garden Grove Housing Authority operates under federal grants received from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to provide rental subsidies to low-income families. There are no rental units in this parking lot, at least not yet. Not long ago, the city quietly offered the west side parking lot to developer Steve Sheldon, who wanted to create a condo complex on our last remaining parking lot for downtown. Luckily, concerned residents and merchants got together within the 72 hour notification and temporarily halted this conversion and sale. The Housing Authority is not intended to serve as a steward of land, as a real estate broker or as a holding area for properties until they decide to redevelop something. It is time for the city to either reinstate the Main Street Parking Commission or to give the parking lot to the Main Street Commission. If people have nowhere to park, they will not come to Main Street.

The House Republican leadership is trying to do to Puerto Rico what the International Monetary Fund is doing to Greece: put the demands of international bondholders ahead of the needs of the majority of working people, and replace democratically elected government with a "control board" that can overrule the democratic government to impose an austerity agenda so international bondholders can be paid more. Sen. Bernie Sanders called on Senate colleagues to oppose legislation that would establish a control board. Sanders said the House bill, H.R. 5278, “would make a terrible situation even worse” by requiring the governor of Puerto Rico to submit a fiscal plan to an unelected oversight board comprised of seven members, a majority of whom would be chosen by Republican leadership. Puerto Ricans would choose no members. The oversight board would enact its own fiscal plan to cut the budget, slash pensions, raise taxes, privatize and sell public assets without the approval of Puerto Rico’s democratically elected government. The legislation requires that any restructuring of Puerto Rico’s debt be “in the best interest of creditors.” H.R. 5278 would also exclude Puerto Rico from the Department of Labor’s new overtime rules and allow the governor of Puerto Rico to slash the minimum wage to just $4.25 an hour for a period of up to five years. [1] Rep. Luis V. Gutiérrez [D-IL], one of five Puerto Ricans in Congress, said: “I cannot support this legislation because it runs counter to basic values of democracy, fairness and justice.” He wrote, “The profits and profiteering of investors are likely to be weighed as heavily or more heavily by the Board in its decision-making and that fails my test for what is needed for Puerto Rico.” He also pointed to reductions in the minimum wage, the exemption from overtime rules, questionable protections for pensions earned by Puerto Rican workers, and expedited permitting of energy and construction projects without environmental checks as reasons he opposes the legislation. [2] The AFL-CIO, AFSCME, SEIU, UFCW, USW, and the UAW oppose the bill. In a letter to the House, the unions wrote that the bill “provides no economic stimulus, and in fact takes money out of the economy by reducing the minimum wage and overtime protections" for union members they represent in Puerto Rico. [3] Urge Congress to oppose the bill unless the "IMF" control board provision is removed by signing our petition.

Ever since Watergate, Democratic and Republican presidential nominees have released their tax returns to the public. Why? Because the American people deserve transparency and information when choosing who to vote for to run our country. And, ever since Watergate, presidential nominees recognized that and released their tax returns. A tax return cannot spin blatant exaggerations and opinions into facts. A tax return cannot pander and only present one side. A tax return cannot fabricate income, charitable giving and tax shelters. A tax return tells the truth. Once in the light, a tax return cannot be explained away by conspiracy theories, bravado or misdirection. It is what it is: a very telling document. What does the candidate value, give to charity? Does the candidate pay their fair share of taxes? Is the candidate telling the American public the truth about their finances? This is why presidential nominees have released their returns for nearly 40 years. And it’s why the American people shouldn’t have to rely on the benevolence of a presidential nominee to know exactly who they are voting for President of the United States of America. I’ve introduced the Presidential Tax Transparency Act to require all presidential nominees - no matter their party - to release their tax returns after the nominating convention. So stand with me. Tell Congress to pass the Presidential Tax Transparency Act! --Ron

According to US Uncut, Chris Matthews on MSNBC admitted recently that his network and several others "intend to call the Democratic primary race for Hillary Clinton before polls close in California on June 7". They don't elect our government, we do. If they want to mess with that, then let's mess with their revenue by petitioning and then boycotting their advertisers. Apparently, they need reminding who really needs who. Let's drive that point home. Source: http://usuncut.com/politics/media-clinton-california-primary/

The Portland Public School Board just took a strong stand for the right of students to be taught accurate information about human-caused climate change. On May 17, the board unanimously approved a resolution that directs the Portland school district to "abandon the use of any adopted text material that is found to express doubt about the severity of the climate crisis or its root in human activities." Bill Bigelow, a former Portland school teacher, said "we don't want kids in Portland learning material courtesy of the fossil fuel industry." But since its vote, the board has been barraged with angry hate mail from angry climate change-deniers across the country. An email sent to board members shouted: "One can only hope that Mount St. Helens erupts again and spews 'Global Warming' on you morons." The board did the right thing for Portland students and climate change education, and they should be thanked and congratulated, not condemned. Please sign the thank you letter to let board members know you strongly support and appreciate their action!

Being born and raised mostly here in the South I have realized the amount of religious privilege, bias, and incredibly, how much lawmaking is carried out by their faith alone. I am so passionate about making the United States of America, no matter the region, for all, no matter gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation, because I deplore the powers that strip our natural given rights that then causes the suffering of mankind. Check the post and see how much of a threat an un-separation of church and state will be: http://www.forwardprogressives.com/republican-religious-fanatics-pose-bigger-threat-country-than-isis/ My father fought in Desert Storm. Being there twice and coming back like most soldiers he was not the same. I fight for him, like he's fought for me and my freedom. So I continue to fight for the America and the rights and freedoms that we deserve. So I will say again, drop the religious Fanaticism. You can keep your religion, but you DO NOT have the right to force it on our lives. If we make laws it should be based on evidence of a threat if those laws are not upheld. Like for instance, what happens when we don't uphold the separation of church and state. Thank you, Cortney of Alabama
