Put a STOP to Physician Assisted SuicidePhysician assisted suicide is when the physician prescribes the patient a lethal medication and the patient takes the medication with the means of intentionally ending his/her life. This is an act of killing an individual and needs to be stopped. A physician's role is to help heal their patient and not help kill their patient.71 of 100 SignaturesCreated by valencia

Hey you: Pledge to safely intervene next time you witness street harassmentI have been street harassed my entire life, and in 2005 I co-founded an organization called Hollaback! to end street harassment globally. We've collected 5,000 stories of harassment, and time and time again we hear from traumatized survivors that when they were harassed, bystanders tended to look away and pretend it wasn't happening. This deepened their trauma, leading to anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. We've got to stop pretending that street harassment is normal; it's up to us to put a stop to it.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Emily May

Ralph Reed, leader of a HATE GROUP should not be afforded "equal time" by media outlets.Ralph Reed has a long history of leading hate groups, yet somehow is afforded a seat at the table in serious discussions about civil rights and LGBT issues on major news outlets. Spouting mistruths and calling them facts (that somehow go completely unchecked by on-air personalities) in order to sway the minds of viewers, Reed has a mission to malign the LGBT community and promote animosity and hostility against them. Just this weekend on THIS WEEK, he stated falsely that "the social science is irrefutable" that a child growing up in a home parented by LGBT parents is "9 times more likely to drop out of school and 3 times more likely to grow up addicted to drugs". He also spoke of his organization's work "going into 100,000 churches (TAX EXEMPT CHURCHES) nationwide, conduct voter registration drives and pass out voter guides". Something is amiss and afoul here. This man SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN AIRTIME by major news outlets who claim fairness and a dedication to presenting viewers with facts and truth.153 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Adam Turner
