I have been a Democrat since 1956 when my parents talked to me, at my request, about Ike and Adlai. Unlike Adlai I wasn't too old to cry. By 1960 I was distributing pamphlets and getting signatures. By 1964 I was old enough to contribute as well. In 1968 I worked for second cousin Gene and then abandoned him for Bobby. In 1972, at age 25 (their weren't many eager for the job so I go it despite my youth) I was Lake County Chairman of Citizens for McGovern. I am proud to say the Senator McGovern carried Lake County . I think you see where I am going with this, so I'll get to my point. I have worked for the Democratic Party and been a small donor for almost 56 years. The only time I didn't vote Democratic was 1996 when I was living in Pennsylvania and the polls showed President Clinton to have an insurmountable lead. I loathe "New Democrats", triangulation and the DLC because like Governor Dean, (and I daresay your beloved father, Governor Cuomo) "I am from the Democratic wing of the Democratic of the Democratic Party.". If you undemocratically keep Senator Sanders off the ballot. I will never vote Democrat again. I won't work on registering voters, getting out the vote or making phone calls. I won't make any small contributions. I will despise the party for being UNDEMOCRATIC! We need a true progressive n this era of almost unprecedented income inequality and Senator Bernie Sanders is the only electable candidate who is a true progressive since FDR, 84 years ago. I will close by saying that I really hope someone reads this and reminding you that senior citizens vote and according to the actuaries, I have at least four more elections in which to vote.

We live in a Democracy, please continue to prove that by putting one of the current candidates running for the presidency on the ballot!

Depriving any citizen of the right to vote for the candidate of his or her choice is anathema to a democratic republic's political health. Put Bernie on the ballot.

Senator Sanders is the best candidate for President since FDR. We can not afford to lose this chance to elect him.

Please ensure fairness in your primary election process! Allow Bernie Sanders on the primary ballot. Repeal the Wilson Pakula rule.

This is America, and I an ashamed of our corrupt political system. Bernie should be on the ballot, and so should anyone who wants to run. It's up to We The People who we want to vote for. Thank you
