Simply put: Politics should be based in truth rather than cronyism. Superdelegates should feel free to issue endorsements, as long as they commit to voting for the candidate with the most pledged delegates at the Democratic National Convention in July.

I believe strongly in our democratic process, in which citizens have a voice and it is their votes that decide elections. The current Democratic party process does not work that way when it comes to the primaries, since superdelegates are not bound by citizens' votes (they are free to choose a candidate regardless of what the people in that community want). It's too late in this current primary season to change the way our Democratic party does this, but our Hawaii Democratic superdelegates could do a wonderful thing and take it upon themselves to support the candidate that gets the most pledged delegate votes. Please let our voices be heard. Thank you!

We need a sound, democratic voting process. I—and so many people I know of all ages and cultural backgrounds—feel less and less that our votes count. I want to know that superdelegates will use their position to represent the people they serve with integrity and to reflect the vote of the majority of the people.

Democracy is at stake here. Superdelegates should not go against the will of the people in choosing their presidential candidate. If the Superdelegates override the will of the people, it would be a tragedy. Many of WA State's Superdelegates were elected themselves and should place high value on what WA State voters want.

The superdelegates should support the candidate who the people want, not big corporations, wall street, or PACs. Voters should decide who the candidate should be, not the super rich 1%.

The superdelegates should follow the voices of the people, no matter which candidate they decide to endorse.

We want to live in a true democracy. That means people's votes are binding. Whomever the people want is who the superdelegates must vote for on behalf of us all.

I am a veteran of the United States Army. While serving with the 172nd Stryker Brigade in Mosul, Iraq, my unit and I helped make Iraq's first national elections safe and fair. I saw thousands of Iraqis brave threats from criminals and terrorists because they knew their vote was a crucial step to securing a peaceful future for their country. As an English composition instructor at a community college, I've witnessed almost the exact opposite attitude from my students. Of my 40+ students this year, two plan on voting. They don't believe their vote counts, especially when they're informed about the billions spent financing campaigns and the realities of the electoral college and Democratic party superdelegates.

If the superdelegate system continues—and I personally believe it should not—superdelegates should listen to the majority voice of the populace. Any other interpretation of a democratic vote flies in the face of reason and fairness. Uphold our rights as a nation to elect our representatives by the vote of the PEOPLE ... by the PEOPLE ... for the PEOPLE.

The popular vote, not established party machine politics, should decide who the California Democratic Party endorses for President in the California Primary! Superdelegates, pledge to follow the voters and endorse the candidate who wins the popular vote in the primary. Christine Pelosi has made this pledge; please follow her example. Thanks for upholding the democratic ideals embodied by voting.

The nomination process should be democratic, representing the will of the people and not party politics.

As a retired English teacher, I taught my high school students that critical thinking was crucial in everyday life. Superdelegates have a moral responsibility, as well. That is to follow the will of the people and not usurp the democratic process.
