Bernie Sanders to submit Letters of Intent for Write-in VotesWith voter suppression, firewall issues, DNC chair issues, super delegate promises, and the media blackout all taken into consideration, Bernie Sanders should be far ahead of his opponent in the delegate count. He needs to know that we believe he is our only hope. Our two-party system is failing the common American and Bernie Sanders is our only hope. "Currently, 43 States allow Write-In Ballots for President of the United States. States not allowing write-in ballots include; Arkansas, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Dakota Most States require a candidate to register, however; Vermont, Wyoming, Oregon, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Iowa, Delaware, and Alabama do not require registration." http://m.dailykos.com/story/2015/7/21/1404380/-The-Write-In-Vote "Thirty-five states require that a write-in candidate must submit some form of affidavit and, sometimes, a filing fee at least one month before the election. In North Carolina, these candidates must circulate a petition. Then their names are posted on a list at the polling place, though not on the official ballot. All other write-in votes are tossed." ~Bloomberg http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2004-11-01/the-ins-and-outs-of-write-ins137 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Anthony Smith

Disbar Hatch & LeeEvery member of the Utah Bar Association is required to take the following oath: "I do solemnly swear that I will support, obey and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Utah; that I will discharge the duties of attorney and counselor at law as an officer of the courts of this State with honesty, fidelity, professionalism, and civility; and that I will faithfully observe the Rules of Professional Conduct and the Standards of Professionalism and Civility promulgated by the Supreme Court of the State of Utah." Both of these Senators are putting partisan politics ahead of obeying and defending the Constitution of the United States by refusing to give advice and consent to the President's nomination to the Supreme Court. They should be disbarred for failing to adhere to their oath as attorneys.193 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Nathan Garcia

End Election CorruptionWe need to stop all these forms of cheating during an election. IF they won't stop we demand a that the votes are thrown out & done all over again or the cheater loses all delegates. That goes from, not enough ballots, to disenfranchising in any form to stumping at the polls. This also includes bias that either party's committee has toward one candidate over another.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Candy Warmuth

Tax Reckless Wall Street Speculators!Wall Street's reckless financial speculation caused the greatest economic collapse since the Great Depression, causing millions of Americans to lose their savings, their jobs, and their homes. Despite a $700 billion bailout to save the financial sector from itself, Wall Street still hasn’t learned its lesson. Today, Wall Street is up to its same old tricks—gambling with risky and unneeded financial products. We cannot allow Wall Street hedge funds to jeopardize our economic health and the hard-earned savings of working Americans for their personal gain. A small tax levied on financial speculation would rein in the worst offenders and allow us to invest in infrastructure projects that create jobs and help make quality education more affordable for young Americans.13,097 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Peter DeFazio

This petition calls for the immediate resignation of Valeria Silva, the Superintendent of St. Pau...PETITION BACKGROUND The St. Paul Public School District is in crisis. Daily headlines reporting student-on-student and student-on-teacher violence resulting from Valeria Silva’s failed disciplinary policies are just the proverbial tip of the iceberg. We can no longer tolerate unsafe learning conditions in our schools. Our children have a right to safe and productive classrooms. Additionally, we can no longer tolerate the draconian methods of threat and intimidation of our dedicated teachers by the Silva administration. Teachers are afraid to speak out for fear of public reprisal, suspension and loss of their employment. Valeria Silva has lost the trust, faith and respect of too many education professionals in the district to be an effective leader. Furthermore, Silva’s continued incompetence is putting our teachers and children at great risk; as a result, families have begun to send their children out of the district in response to the downward spiral in the quality of St. Paul’s educational infrastructure. The children, parents, teachers, and community members of St. Paul deserve a Superintendent who leads with integrity and honor in Minnesota’s capital city. Silva is clearly not that leader. Her tenure as Superintendent has been nothing less than an embarrassment to the city of St. Paul, and a great travesty for our children, who deserve a high-quality education free from the threat of violence and harm. Our teachers and administrative staff deserve respect and the freedom to meet students’ needs with innovative, compassionate and supported instruction and assistance. We, the undersigned, demand Silva resign immediately. If she will not, we demand the School Board remove her and replace her with a competent leader with the skills, temperament, and personal integrity to provide effective leadership for the St. Paul Public School District.151 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Stephen Severance

Impeach Senator Mitch McConnellSenator McConnell has openly demonstrated his hatred and disrespect for President Barack Obama from day one. It began with his own declaration that he was going to make him a one-term president. McConnell has obstructed every action of the President through his first term, and continues to do so. Today, it has taken the form of making a pact with all Senate Republicans to not even speak with the President's nominee for the Supreme Court. Further, McConnell has decided there will be no confirmation hearings of the nominee until AFTER the 2016 election. McConnell is making a mockery of the Constitution, and has failed miserably to perform his duties as the head of the Senate. Additionally, McConnell shows a clear disrespect for Anton Scalia who would insist on following the Constitution, and for his replacement to be found as soon as possible.257 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Maggie Morse
