- Support for steps in accordance with dramatic greenhouse gas reductions targeted at no more than a 2-degree maximum global rise, including:
o An immediate moratorium on fracking.
o Imposition of a carbon tax.

Commitment to
reproductive access. (add and modify from Bernie Sanders' recent op-ed or other sources)
I expect you to champion these priorities consistently in speeches from the campaign trail, and in fundraisers. I expect you to advocate for them through legislation that you sponsor, vocally support, and vote for on the floor of the House.
Sincerely,
Voter
Of course this could also be sent, in modified form, to all Democratic superdelegates with a stake in the party.
The idea is simple as any rating system, from those employed by NRA to NARAL. Certain demands, in this case by the electorate, would be spelled out for politicians they endorse. Should it be necessary? No. But neither should we live in a nation where our democracy has been pummeled by the Democrats. And short of simple measures to restore peace, justice, and sustainability, short of advancing a vision once again so clearly articulated by Sanders last Thursday, the alternative may well be chaos and more extreme right wing challenges now or in the near future.
Of course this doesn't preclude a Sanders' third party run or an option to vote Green Party. Indeed, it helps refocus and reenergize the splintered Democratic Party.
Because the quashing of our democratic process is undercovered by the mainstream media, I am also recapping the disintegration of democratic institutions during the primary.
ELECTORAL FRAUD
First, let's revisit the massive electoral failures during this Democratic primary. The context: the United States, who holds what "worst elections of any long-established democracy [47 countries]" by Harvard and the University of Sydney, Australia. Major electoral failures and fraud that favored Clinton were engineered, reviewed and/or ignored by her supporters. These span the improbable Iowa coin flips; Bill Clinton's potential voter violation felony and Clinton's strength in places without a paper trail in Massachusetts that may have prevented Sanders' fifth Super Tuesday win; the Arizona closure of polling places, resultant long waits, discarding of provisional ballots, and flipped registrations; and the purge of 125,000 Brooklynites--just miles from Clinton's office--in New York with more flipped registrations. Even Clinton endorser Mayor Bill de Blasio called for major election reforms and a reversal of the voter purge. Election Fraud Watch documents potential election fraud in far more thorough detail.
All of this culminated in the extensive manipulations and failures of the California elections. But there is broad evidence that numerous Democratic primaries and caucuses have been affected. As suggested in March, many elections may well have been stripped then flipped. A reported 220,000 provisional ballots from 18 or more states were dumped. Additionally, the results of elections with paper trails vs. those without paper trails strongly favored Clinton, according to the Bern Report, a site unaffiliated with the campaign who asked, "Have we witnessed an honest primary election? then answered: "[W]e found that when there are possibilities of electoral fraud, Secretary Clinton wins by a large margin, even when adjusting for possible alternative explanations." Spencer Gundhert calls for "an investigation into electoral fraud favoring Hillary Clinton" looking at the hackability of voting machines, the high variances in Democratic -- but not Republican -- primary results vs. exit polls, and the strong bias of voter suppression toward Sanders' supporters which included closed polling places, election fraud, purged votes and changed registrations. The reported votes Sanders received decreased, a seemingly impossible phenomenon. Thousands of votes are yet to be counted in many states.
Election fraud experts Cliff Arnebeck and Bob Fitrakis are seeking exit poll data in their current racketeering lawsuit to challenge poll results and show vote flipping.
