Related: About this forumSign The Petition Calling Fot OPEN Primary In New York! "They" Are Screwing With Party Registrations
SIGN the petition calling on Senator Chuck Schumer to urge the New York Democratic Party to open their presidential primary in 2016.Go HERE To Sign... http://www.openprimaries.org/states_new_york
Closed primaries dis-empower 2.9 million independent voters in New York. Senator Schumer advocated for open primaries in the New York Times. We want him to do something about it!
Open Primaries and the Independence Party of New York City have joined forces to mobilize public support for primary reform. The support has been overwhelming...all the more reason to double our efforts!

Heres how you can help:
Use social media to spread the word. Every tweet, post and personal e-mail helps.
Make a donation. 100% of your donation will be spent on digital outreach so that we can reach thousands more New Yorkers and invite them to participate in changing our political system.
Volunteer. Have a few hours after work or on the weekend? We need volunteer phone bankers! No experience necessary just a willingness to help and a desire to do something about the partisan status quo. Email Adriana Espinoza (aespinoza@openprimaries.org) to get involved!
Weve got limited time to engage thousands more New Yorkers about changing our political system. Lets do this!

(2,025 posts)1. How about getting rid of the primaries altogether.
Introduce One Member One Vote, or One Supporter One Vote if you want. That's what other democracies do.
