The Sanders and Clinton campaigns have now officially agreed upon April 14th for an upcoming debate in New York City. As the race for the Democratic nomination has become so contentious and the stakes have never been so high for the people of our nation, it is important that we have unbiased and diverse moderators involved in the process. We cannot afford to have questions being asked that are softballs to either candidate. The people of this nation and the people of New York deserve better.

At the Univision Democratic debate Jorge Ramos did an incredible job of pressing both candidates on the issues and showed enormous bravery that should frankly be given the Edward R. Murrow Award. He forced both Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton to answer very difficult questions on immigration, deportation, and their overall platforms as politicians. Now, as Bryan Pagliano, the staffer that set up Hillary Clinton's email server has been granted legal immunity by the FBI in order to give testimony on the subject, Jorge's question about her upcoming indictment has left the realm of opinion. It is important that this issue is not ignored and that we have a strong, principled moderator involved in this process who will ask the hard questions. Further, with the revelations recently uncovered in the Panama papers there is definitive proof of massive offshoring of the profits of our nation and many others, by corrupt corporations. Both Clinton and Obama signed off on the bill that allowed this offshoring to take place.

Alongside this proposition, I the creator of this petition, propose two questions:

"Secretary Clinton, last debate you were asked the question that if you were indicted, would you drop out of the race? You responded that you would not even justify the question with a response. Now that the staffer who set up your email server has received legal immunity to testify in your case, indictment is looking like a much more likely prospect. Will you drop out of the race if you are indicted?"

(To either candidate)

"Recently there has been a massive leak from the company Mossack Fonseca that has implicated corporations and governments of using the company as a means of committing legalized fraud and tax evasion. How do you propose that the United States government react to this revelation?"
