Bernie, Let the Voters Decide
If you are still losing the popular vote and the pledged-delegate vote after all primary polls have closed, we ask that you gracefully concede without delay and not reject the will of the voters.
We believe this will be in your best interest and that of all progressives.
Why is this important?

After everyone votes, if Bernie has still lost, then he can only win by lobbying superdelegates to overturn the voters. He should stick to his First Position. As Robert Reich put it: “Let the voters decide — not superdelegates.”
400,000 MoveOn petitioners backed that, as did 200,000 for Robert Reich’s petition. (Bernie can still lobby superdelegates about the platform.)
On May 1, Bernie changed. At the National Press Club, Mary Alice Williams asked, “If you DO NOT secure the majority of pledged delegates, do you still believe that superdelegates should switch?” Sanders replied “Yes. ... the responsibility the superdelegates have is to decide what is best for this country."
No, “Let the voters decide.” It’s best for Bernie’s reputation and for unifying the Democratic Party. Sharing this petition helps immensely.
