Bernie Sanders is a legitimate candidate for the Presidency and should appear on every states ballot. Thank you

I'm 79 years old and -- like my father before me -- have been a voting Democrat all my adult life. But if the NY Democratic Party moves to block Bernie Sanders from the New York ballot, I will never vote for another Democrat so long as I live, so help me God.

I am a registered Democrat in NY and I've voted in EVERY election since I moved here in 1989. I WILL NOT vote if Bernie is not on the ballot.

I urge you to grant Bernie Sanders the Wilson Pakula so 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 among the Democratic Party membership across the entire nation. Granting Mr. Sanders the Wilson Pakula would be a service to the entire nation. Thanks you.

Dear Governor Cuomo and Chairman Paterson, 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

We should be free to select the candidates we want in office! Support repealing the Wilson Pakula Law!
