Superdelegates are not determined through the election process and should not be included in delegate counts reported during election coverage. Superdelegates may, and have been known to, change which candidate they support, often based on the popular vote. This practice is misleading, especially to less informed viewers.

The WCA Board will vote on Thursday, March 10, to determine whether or not our elementary school will become a 5-track school, and whether there will be expansion to the elementary and MS/HS buildings. We must voice our opposition before they vote, to prevent our school from expanding too much, too fast.

Because, why not at this point. - Bewildered Black America

As a resident of California, I know that the state of our democracy affects us all. The priority corporate interests have taken over the well-being of citizens illustrates the crisis we are in. Only by uniting and demanding change will we be able to see progress.

We are encouraging MNPS to keep our local elementary school local.

It's time to bring democracy back to our Democratic election process and have a fair election without superdelegates tipping the scales. The reason for primaries and caucuses are for the U.S. people to vote, not a bunch of legislators, who are given promises for their vote. Let the voters' votes count and LET'S END SUPERDELEGATES!!

Honduras has lost one of its most courageous indigenous leaders, Berta Caceres. Caceres was the General Coordinator of the National Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras. In 2015, she won the Goldman Environmental Prize for her activism and leadership. She was assassinated on March 2. At her memorial service on March 5, Berta's children read a statement from Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy. In his statement, Leahy said: "the investigation of this crime must be independent and comprehensive, including the participation of international experts. Those responsible for ordering and carrying it out must be brought to justice…the Rio Blanco and the territory that Berta devoted her life to defend, should be protected. The Agua Zarca dam project should be abandoned." [1] U.S. government policy is implicated in Berta's death. The U.S. government has financed and defended the Honduran government that failed to protect Berta's life. [2] Senator Leahy has said future U.S. aid to the government of Honduras should be tied to the outcome of an independent investigation into the assassination. [3] Urge Anderson Cooper to ask Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton how U.S. government policy in Honduras should change following this crime by signing our petition.

We need to get this initiative on the ballot and for that we need not only signatures, but the support of our local officials. Too many people are working and because of the low wages are still unable to live the life they want. We shouldn't have to make the choice to pay our light bill OR pay our phone bill. We need a raise.

Sprint needs to either recognize that customers make the company, or we must stand up to corporate greed, fraud, and misuse of the common man.

Hillary Clinton's email Issues cut deeper with an immunity deal between the Justice Dept. & Bryan Pagliano, the staffer who set up Hillary's email server. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, says that she will move forward once she has more evidence from the FBI. However, time is running out, do to the upcoming Democratic National Convention. It's possible Hillary Clinton could actually be charged with something. We don't know what's going to happen, but we do know that the FBI is moving forward with their investigation. The question isn't "if it will come." The question is "when." If she's charged after the convention, it will hurt the entire Democratic Party. Our chances of having a Democrat into the White House are at stake. WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DEMAND THAT LORETTA LYNCH TAKE ACTION BEFORE THE 2016 DEMOCRATIC NATION CONVENTION!!!

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has created pending new regulations in order to protect Americans from payday loan sharks, companies that make enormous profits off of predatory lending, exploiting the poor and uneducated by advertising quick and convenient loans while downplaying the concomitant skyrocketing interest. Wasserman Schultz is co-sponsoring a new bill that would push back the bureau’s payday lending regulations by two years. It would also let state laws on payday lending trump the federal regulations, falling back on so-called “states’ rights.” It calls for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to “adjust their payday lending rules to take into account actions Florida has already taken.” The DNC chair describes Florida’s state law as a “model” for payday loan legislation. In fact it is an industry-friendly law that will would effectively “gut the CFPB’s forthcoming payday loan regulations and harm all consumers. H.R. 4018 would limit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) ability to protect all consumers against high-cost payday, car title and installment loans.'' The director of the Campaign to Stop the Debt Trap at Americans for Financial Reform says otherwise, calling Florida’s law “a sham” and pointing out that “it was backed by the industry.” Leading consumer protection, civil rights and social justice groups overwhelmingly oppose the legislation. In December, 265 groups — including the Consumer Federation of America, the NAACP and the National Council of La Raza — sent Congress a letter “strongly urging” lawmakers to vote against the bill. “This harmful bill would limit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) ability to protect all consumers against high-cost payday, car title and installment loans,” the letter warns. The legislation would also “allow abusive small-dollar lenders to go on doing business as usual if states enact laws similar to a Florida law, putting in place so-called ‘industry best practices,'” the groups wrote. “Instead of protecting consumers, H.R. 4018 and the industry-backed Florida law would do more harm to consumers.”
