Debbie Wasserman Schultz cannot be a even arbitrator for the whole Democratic party, when she is so intertwined with the HRC campaign. I think she should give up the DNC and stay with HRC. The things that she has decided so far are very pro HRC.

The process to decide our next president is just as important as who is ultimately elected. For our democracy to have real meaning, the process must have integrity - not only to trust the results but to build trust with the next generation of voters. The DNC's responsibility to protect this trust, and its unjustified penalties targeting the essential tool of grassroots voter data damages this trust. Not only does it look favorable to the leading candidate (who would like to win the nomination with the support of the whole party), but it looks like the DNC does not want data breaches reported. Protecting voter data is also essential for building within the party and with potential supporters. Punishing the messenger damages the entire nomination process. Let's hold the DNC & NGP VAN accountable! (For background on the data breach and the DNC's response: go to the NYT reporting http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/12/18/sanders-campaign-disciplined-for-breaching-clinton-data/)

I believe in democracy. I believe that the primary system should not be rigged to favor one candidate over another one. I believe that my party should live up to the rot of its name and stand for democracy, not oligarchy.

"So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot!” - From the movie V for Vendetta, when the character V addresses the people through a high jacked news room. Hello, I’m of the Millennial generation, the first time I was eligible to vote was the year Kerry and Bush were running against each other for President. Being that it was my first opportunity to vote I looked forward to executing my right as a woman living in the United States in 2004. Well, I knew I wasn’t going to vote for Bush but Kerry did not feel worthy of my vote either, so I wrote-in a nobody. After that, I unregistered myself from voting and, like the majority of Millennials, facing a myriad of challenges ahead of me, had given up. When you sit back and pay attention to the corruption in our government it tends to beat you down and make you feel like you have no voice, hope, or vote. Two years ago I realized that I can make a difference in my local elections and reregistered to vote. In Seattle, where we elected to the Seattle City Counsel an awesome Indian American woman running in the independent Socialist Alternative party that she had created. After she won, twice, I felt a sense of renewed hope that we could collectively change things on a small scale. This non-white woman ran against the establishment, against a corrupt money infiltrated system and with the mobilization of the (mostly young) people she won! That gave me so much hope! Then, a year ago as I started to care more about politics. Through liking the Elizabeth Warren Facebook page I came across a meme quoting a Senator Bernie Sanders. The meme was right on point for me, and so I went and "liked" Senator Bernie Sanders's Facebook page. When Bernie announced he was running for president I thought, "wow, I'd like to learn more about this guy" so I dove into the vastness of the Internet. Reading and listening to everything I could find about him, from old articles, video clips, radio clips, interviews and began to realize he cares about the world for the exact same reason I am an activist. I fight for my (not yet born) children. I constantly wonder, “what kind of world am I working to make for them to come into?” With Bernie Sanders running for president we have a chance for a leader that knows how and will LEAD this country towards unity and lead us to vote for representatives that will pass legislation BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE! If you have been paying attention then you know that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has been doing everything they can to keep Bernie from become the Democratic nominee. I genuinely believe, NOW, when we have such a leader running for President of the United States, that this is the time for us to stand up and take back what is left of our “democracy”. Knowing how much Bernie Sanders appeals to a sleeping giant of non-voting eligible voters such as Millennials, Independents, Liberals, Libertarians and the lifelong Republicans that don’t agree with him on women’s or gay rights but are campaigning for him because they are fed up with the corruption as much as the rest of us are, I BELIEVE HE CAN WIN the Presidency outside of the Democratic Party AS A INDEPENDENT WRITE-IN. Democrat voters afraid to split the vote are welcome to write Bernie in so they can keep a Republican from the White House. Bernie supporters are far less (by a huge percentage) likely to support Hillary than Hillary supporters are to support Bernie. If Bernie Sanders loses the Democratic nomination due to DNC corruption, I ask that We the People ask Bernie’s campaign to use this incredible tool of the (mostly) 21st Century, the internet, to spread the information that he will run as a write-in and have the Sleeping Giant rally to make history by electing a President We the People want and break free of the two party system we all despise. This is our V for Vendetta moment! Let us stand together and once again fight to recreate a government FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE! Thank you!

Due to the undemocratic actions taken by Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the Democratic National Committee and because we believe the two party system, corporations, special interest groups, and the wealthy and powerful are corrupting our Democracy, I started this petition requesting that Bernie Sanders run as an Independent in the 2016 Presidential Election. For millions of us, neither party represents our ideals as fully as Senator Bernie Sanders does. This is why he must run as an Independent so we too are represented next year. Otherwise, many of us will be unable to vote for President in next years election.

At what point do we, as political creatures, say enough is enough? How far does the DNC have to go before we start putting pressure on the DNC, not to play fair, but to obey the rules that they them selves instituted. I wrote the following canned reply weeks ago after receiving one too many of what I'd like to refer to as Hillary's chain (e)mail: "As a general supporter of the Democratic Party I have been systematically removing my email address from lists that support Hillary Clinton in her presidential bid. I am dissatisfied with the DNC in general for its lack of foresight and its insistence on backing Hillary Clinton. I will not be voting for Hillary because I disagree with her policy stances; they are consistently moving targets. And whether it be her association as a Barry Goldwater republican or her chumminess with Wall Street or her rapid sea changes depending on current polling, I can not bring myself to TRUST Hillary R. Clinton. Please feel free to remove me from any list serve that supports her candidacy. Steve Archer II USMC 1999-2004 OIF/OEF veteran Small business owner African American Black male Citizen" Was that enough? No. So I'm starting a petition wherein I am declaring that I will only write in Bernie Sanders name at the top of the ticket and walk away from the rest of the election. While the Republican Party may claim to fear Donald Trump, he is good for business. The DNC has no respect or concern for the voting public. They believe that we will pinch our nose and vote for Hillary Clinton. #bernieorbust is a wonderful slogan but there's no pressure, there's no leverage, there's no passion. Bernie Sanders started the fire? Perhaps. I believe it would be unconscionable to allow this spark of a political revolution to die in the back rooms of the DNC. Again, my impassioned plea, is that you call your politicians and let them know that you will be riding in Bernie Sanders and leaving the rest of the ticket blank if the DNC is not immediately re-organized and access is restored to the Bernie Sanders campaign. Just to be clear reorganizing the DNC means that chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Debbie Wasserman Schultz should step down or be removed from her undeserved position.

Because Jerry, homie. Jerry.

I posted this on whitehouse.gov, but some persons on Face book blocked it from being shared for ten days. The constant reactionary backlash from the NRA is a leading cause of death and destruction in the USA

Digital security, accountability. My information could be among the data that was leaked and which may be maintained without the proper security controls. With the tough security controls required for population data in other industries, it is a sensible request to ask the Justice Department to review how these public servants have mishandled population data in the course of these events.

We are launching this position because we believe the actions of the DNC are a blight on and an affront to Democracy itself. We should be working to mobilize and turning out voters. We should not be working to act like Republicans in 2002 who jammed phone lines in an attempt to stifle voter turnout.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who heads the Democratic National Committee, undoubtedly made the call to suspend Bernie Sanders' access to the DNC's 50-state voter file in the wake of a software glitch that a Sanders staffer had previously reported on multiple occasions. With just 6 weeks to go before the Iowa caucuses and less than 2 months before the New Hampshire primary, the Sanders campaign needs this voter file more than ever to reach a maximum number of voters. Withholding access to this critical information at such a critical time for the campaign is equivalent to sabotage.

Honourable Stéphane Dion and Ambassador Vivian Bercovici, On December 11, Rehab Nazzal, a Canadian citizen and a doctoral candidate at the University of Western Ontario's Visual Arts department, was shot in the leg while in Bethlehem. She is in the West Bank conducting research for her doctoral thesis and teaching at a local university. At the exact time of the shooting she was documenting a "skunk" weapon, a tank used by the Israeli military to spray a foul-smelling mist as a form of crowd control. Nazzal states that she "was alone, with no clashes, no stone throwers, absolutely no one around me, and yet I was intentionally shot by a sniper. This was not an accident." Examination at the hospital indicated that a bullet had entered and exited Nazzal's leg. The bullet was identified as being .22 calibre which, according to the Israeli human rights organization B'tselem, is a type of ammunition that is prohibited for live fire against unarmed civilians. In direct contravention of international law, the Israeli military consistently uses live ammunition against unarmed protesters and even non-protesters (such as Nazzal), the targeting of photojournalists, attacking of ambulances, executing youth in the streets and leaving the injured to bleed to death while preventing paramedics from reaching them, and Israeli soldiers disguised as Palestinians to infiltrate and even kill suspected protesters. These illegal practices cannot be allowed to continue without comment in the strongest possible terms. The new Liberal government has indicated a new era for Canada's foreign policy. The recent mandate letter from Prime Minister Trudeau to the Honourable Stéphane Dion stated that : "As Minister of Foreign Affairs, your overarching goal will be to restore constructive Canadian leadership in the world and to advance Canada's interests. This renewed leadership will serve our security and economic interests, but it will also support the deeply held Canadian desire to make a real and valuable contribution to a more peaceful and prosperous world." In the spirit of your mandate , we expect Canada to voice its strong opposition to criminal or illegal acts by any state, particularly when those acts target innocent civilians, like Canadian Rehab Nazzal. We call on you, as the Canadian Foreign Minister and as the Canadian Ambassador to Israel, to publicly condemn Israel's shooting of a Canadian citizen and to demand that Israel stop using prohibited weapons against unarmed civilians and cease violence targeting paramedics, journalists and photojournalists.
