Government should be FOR the people and BY the people - that's what democracy means!

Senator Leahy, you said even if Bernie Sanders wins the Vermont Primary, you will give your Super Delegate vote to Hillary. However, on March 1st, if the majority of Vermonters vote for Bernie Sanders, it is your responsibility to give the Super Delegate vote to Bernie Sanders. Your constituents are your first and foremost priority. This petition is not about Democrats or Republicans. This is about a promise an elected official made to represent the voters. Your constituents have entrusted you with a responsibility to speak for us. On March 1st, if the majority of Vermonters vote for Bernie Sanders, and you choose to override our vote, is it no wonder that people feel their votes do not count? Could this be a reason why people choose not to vote? "We The People" have pledged that if you do not give your Super Delegate vote to the winner of the primary, then come the general election in November of 2016, "We The People" pledge that we will not give you our vote.

It is important that the people have a vote and our choice for President is proportionally represented!

It's become clear that the establishment has no interest in allowing an "outsider" to have a fair chance at the nomination. Superdelegates should commit to vote for the candidate who receives the popular vote, regardless of who that is. And they should publicly announce their intention to do that prior to casting their ballot in Philadelphia.

The democratic and republican parties, as non-governmental organizations, make their own rules regarding exactly how their delegates / superdelegates are distributed, and the extent of the power that each delegate truly has. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee, had this to say regarding the disproportionate power of the Democratic superdelegates: "Un pledge

We the taxpayers have been demoralized, and it's only a matter of time before complete chaos erupts at the current pace! I believe this to be the best way for America to remain on the right track while also ensuring our system is actually a Democracy, at the same time proving to the electorate that you're for all of it's people (you know, the one's who pay the salaries for all of the Government Officials!)

There are 712 superdelegates, and in 2008, every one of them had as much political influence as about 10,000 voters. That's a lot of power. I'm asking my state's superdelegates to be the voice of the people and back the candidate that wins the most pledged delegate votes at the Democratic National Convention.

I am a 58 year old American citizen, who would like to restore OUR democracy. We are living in an Oligarchy. Last year I made the commitment that I could no longer stand idly by and let my country continue on this wretched path. Our political system is corrupt. I have no bribes to offer you. Summoning all citizens of Minnesota to join me in this fight.

There are too many important issues before the Supreme Court to tolerate a vacancy of almost a year. President Obama was lawfully elected by the people of the United States and has the constitutional power to nominate a replacement for Justice Scalia and the Senate has the responsibility of advising and giving its consent to such a nominee.

Iowa residents have put a lot of time and money into supporting their candidate of choice. We do this because we believe in the people's right to choose the next President of the United States—and, by default, the candidate for said position. The primary and caucus system should be a legitimate decision-making process, not just an illusion to make people think that they have a choice. We must ensure that our democracy is upheld—not undermined—by the superdelegate system.

The superdelegate system does not mesh well with a democratic system. The voters should ultimately determine the outcome.
