The Sanders campaign has been recipient of an extraordinary amount of generosity and support in his campaign. Sadly, he has chosen to throw much of that to the curb with his continued insults to the party, to individual Democrats singled-out for perceived slights, and to Hillary Clinton. The sexism he and his most vocal supporters have engaged-in is very troubling. It has already had chilling effects online by forxing many Clinton supporters into silence, which in my view amounts to a form of censorship. While Sen. Sanders should receive kudos and acknowledgement for the importance of his efforts to focus needed attention on the corrosive problem of money in our political system and the alarming inequality in our society, his campaign has reached a point that is spiraling out-of-control and creating real damage to the party's presumptive nominee, in the face of a dangerous demagogue and authoritarian nationalist as Republicans' nominee. Given this threat, we as a party must turn our focus to address and thwart that. It is time for party leaders to intervene with Sen. Sanders to put the good of the party and the country front and center.

I am a loyal, lifelong Democrat and I agree with the basis of this petition. Senator Sanders is not a Democrat. I believe he is simply using our party for his own political gain, while simultaneously seeking to destroy it. Please do not allow for any further concessions; we have already given him enough unearned standing.

Please stop giving into demands of Bernie Sanders. He just isn't working for what's right. We are Democrats and haveven had all the rules in place. So why now does Sanders think he can change things? He shouldn't be able to threaten or intimidate people! That's not being a Democrat!

Please do not allow anyone to hijack the values and esteem that are attached to the DNC.
The party needs to stand strong and support its loyal members and party officials, not give in to arm twisting,threats and blackmail by a candidate who's loyalty is suspect and who would without doubt destroy the party.

I'm a loyal Democrat and as a result I'm very concerned Sen. Sanders has abused the privilege of being allowed to run as a Democrat, considering he was never one before. It is not up to the Democratic Party to salvage his mostly inconsequential Congressional career. Please consider the requests in the petition as a mark of support for our Party and what it stand for. I hope you can agree to them

Please be firm with Bernie Sanders and ask him to be careful of what he says. He's given Trump talking points already. Also, lay off Debbie Shultz. She is dedicated and works hard for our party. I think all these big rally's with all the supporters have gone to Bernies head. He should know better and I'm beginning to doubt his loyalty to our party. Hillary is our Presidential Nominee and she is the Best. Love you Hillary and of course Bill. If Bernie does not get out, use all the pressure you can to get him out. My Democratic friends call him the "Wild Man" and I have been angry with him for awhile now. Thank you!

Don't allow Sanders and his supporters to make threats and commit extortion to our party members!!. America does not negotiate with terrorists...foreign OR domestic...and neither should our Democratic Party. Shame on Senator Sanders...he's wanting to destroy our party when he is not even a loyal member of it.

Enough of Bernie Sanders and his lies, smears, and coercion. Despite using our party, Sanders is not a Democrat. I truly believe he would be fine harming our party, and I would respectfully request that Senator Sanders be allowed no more special privileges!
It is time for him to go.
