Nebraska Republican Senator Ben Sasse has courageously stated that he would not vote for Donald Trump, if Trump becomes the Republican nominee. He cited "Trump's relentless focus ... on dividing Americans, and on tearing down rather than building back up, this great nation." This was a day after Trump refused to disavow the KKK in a televised interview on Sunday, dishonestly claiming he didn't know who former KKK grandmaster David Duke was, which former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney called a "disqualifying and disgusting response." It is time that all Republican office-holders and office-seekers publicly state whether they would support a Trump candidacy or, if he is the nominee, they will declare they won't vote for his brand of bigotry. The KKK response was only the latest in a series of incidents that have revealed the dangerous connection between Trump's campaign and white supremacists. Furthermore, Trump supporters have committed acts of violence, including at Trump's own rallies. And the candidate himself has verbally attacked women, immigrants, the disabled, and Muslims, while proposing policies that are bigoted, xenophobic, and unconstitutional. It's time for Republican leaders to tell us where they stand—and declare they will not vote for, endorse, or campaign for Donald Trump if he is the Republican nominee.

The corporate media including CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and others are currently reporting “Super Delegates” in their counts on national news in an attempt to trick and sway undecided voters that Hillary Clinton is way ahead and that Bernie Sanders will have a difficult time catching up. They are currently reporting in their counts that Hillary has 546 delegates and that Bernie currently has 87 delegates. This is because they are including party insiders that are not “Pledged Delegates” selected by voters but rather “Super Delegates” that can select any candidate that they choose. However, the actual amounts of Pledged Delegates that are allocated based on votes after Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina are 91 for Clinton and 65 for Sanders. To date 455 “Super Delegates” have currently endorsed Hillary Clinton and only 22 have currently endorsed Bernie Sanders; although, they can switch at anytime and are not committed to stay with Hillary if she doesn’t win the popular vote. A candidate needs 2,383 total delegates to secure the nomination so there is a long way to go for either candidate. The “Super Delegates” are establishment party insiders, Corporate Lobbyists, or have Wall Street and Corporate Media ties. They are trying to throw the election to Hillary quickly because they think she will be the eventual nominee. However, Super Delegates are not bound to this vote and in 2008 when many Super Delegates originally supported Clinton they switched to Obama once he started gaining popularity and winning many states. Super Delegates are able to switch their endorsement at any time up until the convention and they should not be included in the counts because it is undemocratic and gives the false impression that Hillary is way ahead which she is not. The majority of “Super Delegates” will eventually support whoever wins the majority of votes in their state or they risk being voted out of office. Corporate Media STOP reporting “Super Delegates” as if they are “Pledged Delegates” as this is an Undemocratic Process and seeks to undermine the voter’s choice.

My best friend is IN LOVE with SHINee and I want her to be able to go to one of their concerts if it's the last thing I do. Why hasn't SM brought SHINee to America yet? They could make so much money if that's what they're worried about while making thousands of international fans immensely happy. If you want SHINee to come to America, or would be willing to buy tickets, please sign this petition.

I am a veteran of the Iraq war and served for almost 10 years to protect our country. Many soldiers have given their time and some have made the ultimate price to ensure the People are protected and have a voice. Respect the sacrifices we have made and let the voters decide elections.

The KKK (as well as all other racial and terroristic groups) has no grounds for being a legitimate group. If the US government disbanded the Black Panthers, they need to disband the KKK.

Many citizens in Rome, Floyd County, Georgia have leased their mineral rights (e.g., oil and natural gas) to out-of-state companies that seek to drill in our community. Vertical "test" wells pose some risk, but horizontal drilling, or fracking, poses significant risk to our community. Fracking has been associated with ground and surface water contamination, with road damage, with air and noise pollution, with earthquakes, and with negative health consequences. Of particular concern are the risks to citizens and businesses who rely on well water.

Vote it Loud is leading the charge to urge U.S. elected representatives in the House and Senate to pass the Flint Emergency Funding Proposal that will provide $600 Million in Federal Emergency Relief Funding for Flint families in need.

Addiction is a devastating disease that affects 1/3 of all American households. Opiate overdose deaths are at epidemic levels. We must help save lives by carrying naloxone, a life-saving overdose reversal drug.

I have always loved having a teen librarian. Now that I am officially a teenager, I was shocked to find out that I wouldn't have a teen librarian at the new library. They are not a children's librarian and not an adult librarian either. It's their JOB to help teens, and they always are good at it. There is going to be this amazing new teen space, but it won't be staffed full time by an actual teen librarian.

Massachusetts should be a leader on early education, but we're falling behind. Since 2001, we’ve seen a 50% decrease in the state’s commitment to early learning, adjusting for inflation. These cuts have led to long wait-lists for public preschool programs and undermine quality. The Boston Globe recently reported: "... the centers that care for the neediest children in the state — the ones who, research shows, most benefit from early education — are being starved of resources." Nearly 1 in 5 early education providers have shut their doors over the last 5 years. Because underfunding puts so much pressure on early educators, staff turnover is at or above 30 percent. We know that children learn best from an adult with whom they have a strong relationship, and this kind of turnover is unacceptable -- we must make sure teachers can afford to stay. The years of cuts are short-sighted. For every $1 we spend on early education, we save $7 over time as kids require less special education, perform better and earn more in the workforce. It's not just smart, it's the right thing to do. Right now, the Massachusetts Legislature is drafting their budget, and we have a chance to deliver a win for our youngest learners and their teachers. They need to hear from us that every child in Massachusetts deserves a strong start. 1. http://goo.gl/Pp3tgu

Due to this 16 month delay, 17 billion more plastic shopping bags will be distributed, which have the potential to enter the environment. This will negatively impact oceans, wildlife, and the overall environment. Plastic bags dramatically impact green house gas emissions; 1 bag requires a large amount of petroleum. Animals die due to entanglement and ingesting plastic bags. For more information and ways you can help, please visit: http://www.surfrider.org/campaigns/defeat-the-ca-bag-ban-referendum and http://www.surfrider.org/ban-the-bag?banthebag Let us uphold this bag ban law in the 2016 general election!

We the people of New Mexico demand the Superdelegate system be abolished. Until that happens we demand that the Superdelegates vote in accordance to the will of the people, and without regard to personal preference or any other thing. I sign this petition with the understanding that I will make positive effort to attend the DPNM State Pre-Primary Convention at the Isleta Casino, meeting On March 12th to protest. We need delegates and non-delegates alike. We need to pack the house inside and out. This is important to our cause.
