Governor Cuomo, please do the right and fair thing here.... let Bernie Sanders run. I knew you father and I can't believe he wouldn't have supported Bernie's running.

Archaic laws should be done away with for the common good of the modernity of NOW. We are a free people of rationality over confinements of societies long faded to time. It is time to permit Bernie Sanders and all other candidates who speak and who have vision and who seek to represent the goodwill of the common people...onto the ballot of New York. I do not have state voting power in New York, as I am from Vermont. And though that favors me automatically into the court of Bernie Sanders, I have lived in California and New Hampshire as well. Everywhere I go I seek to find that voice of justice in the region...and this possible disallowance of Bernie Sanders upon the Ballot of the State of New York is not justice nor in the true voice of what America represents in spirit --and BOTH of you know it. There is the Voice of the People.... and there is old bureaucratic red tape froms days gone by. As politicians yourselves, destined to prove yourselves either on the right side of history or on the wrong side of history, the choice of priority is yours alone. Who will you prioritize come the election of 2016? Will you prioritize the voice of a bygone era left lingering in words on paper that no longer serve us? Or will you align with the voice of the Common People...the many who sign this document and the many who do not even know it exists, but would sign if they did? Who is your priority as politicians in history? What will you be remembered for doing during the election of 2016? Will you be remembered for representation of the wills of a valid many or for a staunch refusal for self serving (in the scope of rational reasonableness in a democratic process) adherence to laws written on books by bodies now disintegrated themselves into dust? I hope you choose correctly for the voice of representation of the people, if not a majority, then for a valid many within the scope of your charge.

To force Bernie out is decidedly undemocratic and proves there's an agenda being pushed by Cuomo. Let the best representative of the party do so.

Let's please have a vital, equitable and effective democratic process. Put Bernie on the ballot! Absurd and shameful that this ridiculous discriminatory law exists.

We want Bernie on the ballot. Why should he not be on it? Any legitimate reason?

Bernie Sanders is a true Democratic candidate in deed and legacy, and now in public affiliation. Let's not limit this election to dynastic name-brand institutions, and give citizens a true choice in the candidate they want to support.

Show that you uphold the tenets of Democracy by allowing Bernie to run as a Democrat. Do not cloud your judgement with your own self serving principles, as you've done on Rent regulation and MTA funding.

Nonsensical laws are not conducive to change that is viable for the common good and deters the needed common sense voices like Senator Sanders.
