Every citizen should have the right to run for any political position in America. This is our fundamental right and there is not any states that can take away that right.

This is corrupt Albany law supported by powerful politicos of both parties to suppress 3rd party competition & maintain political power.

There should be NO gerrymandering in an election. Sanders is a viable candidate, he has national recognition, and keeping him off the ballot is little more than pro-Clinton chicanery. Shame on you!

We, the undersigned, are concerned with the current state of our Democracy. We believe that Democracy is not a spectator sport and requires an active citizenry. We believe that Democracy is best when the people are most involved. We believe that selecting candidates to represent us is one of the core functions of the people. Thus, we stand in solidarity with Governor Cuomo's call to repeal the Wilson Pakula law. The Wilson Pakula law, which requires a candidate from one party obtain permission from party bosses to run as a candidate from another party, is antiquated and not Democratic. We believe a candidate should be able to gain permission to run with a particular party by obtaining signatures from the actual party members. This would foster dialogue between hopeful candidates and the people. The Wilson Pakula process enables corruption, as witnessed recently when a New York State Senator was arrested for trying to bribe party leaders into granting him the Wilson Pakula. We recognize that the legislative process is cumbersome and that repealing the Wilson Pakula is no easy task. However, we also understand that you are the leaders of the Democratic Party in New York. Thus, we urge you to grant Bernie Sanders the Wilson Pakula so that he can continue his dialogue with the people of New York and obtain a place on the primary ballot. New York should not be in a position to block a robust discourse amongst the Democratic Party membership across the entire nation. Granting Mr. Sanders the Wilson Pakula would be a service to the entire nation

Bernie is the only one representing my deepest concerns! Much more attention needs to be given to many issues, like our "Constitutional Right to Privacy" and "GMO's" to begin with. Then we have the whole "Isis" issue and the current threat of Jihadist! I will vote for Bernie Sander's over Hillary Clinton any day! Go Bernie!!!

Competition should never be denied, or limited. We need the best candidates available to ALL have the opportunity to represent us.
