Demand that Victoria's Secret stop marketing sexy lingerie to little girlsTHE MARKET FOR THEIR LATEST LINE IS 9-YEAR-OLDS. "The new brand, called “Bright Young Things,” includes lace black cheeksters with the word “Wild” emblazoned on it, green and white polka-dot hipsters screen printed with “Feeling Lucky?” and a lace trim thong with the words, “Call me” on the front." Why do the undergarments have to be so sexually charged? Why can't they just be pretty? The pressure on girls to grow up and be sexy/sexual has never been stronger, and the levels of incest and pedophilia have never been higher. Sexy lingerie belongs on women who are aware of the implication of wearing them, not on young girls who just want to "fit in" and be trendy.190 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Johanna Siegmann

Saving Oregon's CougarsOregonians demand an outside unbiased peer review (NOT ODFW’s “review”) of Oregon’s cougar management plan and an accurate cougar population count. We need to be assured that our vote for Measure 18 is being honored! We need to take a step in a better direction and start protecting these great cats! Oregon’s Cougar Management plan isn't working. It never has. It is a failed plan with failed policies.77 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jayne Miller

Women's Health Care Rights Being Destroyed By The StatesAre you reading and watching? We are. And the States are out of control. They are passing outrageous women's health care laws regarding, not just access to abortion, but access to health care in general. Women are dying and the numbers WILL increase. VAWA does NOT cover this.2,856 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Suzy

New abortion bans in North Dakota are unconstitutional!Two unprecedented abortion bans by the senate are unconstitutional. We need to call the governor and demand that he does not pass this law: "The passage of this law is nothing short of a frontal assault on the U.S. Constitution, 40 years of Supreme Court precedent, and the health and fundamental rights of women." Call Governor Jack Dalrymple now! 701.328.2200 Write letters: http://governor.nd.gov/contact-us More info: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/15/north-dakota-abortion_n_2885452.html3,421 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by William Hessian and Monika Lunde-Bennett

No Means NO: Mississippi United Against PersonhoodWell friends it appears that nearly 60% of MS saying no to Personhood wasn't enough for some people as they have renewed their push for this dangerous and misguided law once again. The Colorado-based Personhood USA is meddling in our state's affairs once again, with the help of Personhood MS. After failing two times in Colorado, Personhood USA turned to MS as "easy pickings" in 2011, though little did they know that nearly 6 in 10 Mississippians would reject their meddling, unwanted efforts. With your help we defeated Personhood legislation in the MS Legislature, but this is another initiative (voter referendum) push to force Personhood upon us again. Regardless of their unwillingness to heed the resounding call of nearly 6 in 10 Mississippians, we will not shy away from defeating them again! MS has spoken and it was clear and with full, unfettered knowledge of exactly what our votes meant -- we do not want the government prying into our bedrooms, doctor's offices, and living rooms - NO MEANS NO. Personhood concerns itself with some of our most personal decisions that should be left to ourselves, doctors, and families; certainly not a small, but vocal group of extremists who do not understand basic medical science and see women as host vehicles rather than full human beings, with all the rights and privileges thereof. Join Us by signing and sharing this petition and "liking" and sharing this Facebook page: www.facebook.com/NoMeansNoMSUnitedAgainstPersonhood Also please be sure to inform everyone you know to NOT SIGN THEIR PETITION attempting to get this foolish proposal back on the ballot. They need approximately 107,000 signatures to force this nonsense back on us; let's be sure that doesn't happen! Please join us as we says NO to Personhood 2.0! Sign and share this petition and please be sure to "LIKE" and SHARE this great new Facebook page opposing the renewed Personhood push in MS; what nearly 60% of MS already voted NO on. We need to focus on improving all of the negative realities of MS (eg. health care, obesity, diabetes, teen pregnancy, STD/I infection rates, education, jobs, roads, incarceration rates, etc.) that place us at the bottom of nearly every nationwide positive indicator, instead of re-voting on something we resoundingly voted down not long ago: www.facebook.com/NoMeansNoMSUnitedAgainstPersonhood --------------------------------------------------------------------- NO on Initiative 41: Well, well there's an official Personhood 2.0 initiative, now known as "Initiative Measure 41" Title: “Should the Mississippi Constitution be amended to state that the right to life as a person begins at conception?” Description: “The right to life begins at conception. All human beings at every stage of development are unique, created in the image of God, and shall enjoy the inalienable right to life as persons under law.” We were not confused, the 58% of us completely and totally knew what we were doing when we voted a resounding NO on the first absurd personhood initiative . The ample information, least of which was the tremendous amount of MS and national media attention on Initiative 26, only further helped ensure there was no ambiguity in the proposed law's intent and extreme consequences. Personhood is fatally flawed as it can never remove the definition and following extreme and widespread consequences of life at conception which no matter how you dress it up still carries with it the exact same consequences as Initiative 26 and any other personhood law across the country. Make no mistake, the people behind this renewed personhood push do not care about the obvious unconstitutionality of the law as they are extremists of the highest order. www.clarionledger.com/article/20130425/NEWS/304250035/New-personhood-amendment-drive-begin Thank you for all that you do to make MS a better place for all! Together we will defeat this misguided and dangerous effort to insert the government into our most personal of decisions! *Disclaimer: this effort is not associated with any group or organization, but rather is completely grassroots-driven to ensure equality and dignity for all Mississippians.1,676 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Mississippi United Against Personhod

Thank you, Senator Hirono, for your bold leadership on behalf of immigrant women.Are you a man? What if the United States only gave immigration visas to men? That would be pretty unfair, wouldn’t it? It would exclude a lot of good people for no good reason. Our current immigrations laws don’t limit visas to men. But we do give most of our visas for jobs overwhelming performed by men. Jobs dominated by women workers – like nannies or nurses or home care workers – get very few visas. On Monday, March 18th Senator Hirono is holding a Judiciary Committee hearing on Women and Immigration, and immigrant women will finally get the attention they deserve. This is the first time during the current immigration reform debate that a hearing has been convened on this issue. Our failure to do so in the past is one reason our current laws hurt immigrant women. Please click here to thank Senator Hirono for her bold leadership to ensure that immigrant women are finally getting heard by the United States Senate. We are often quick to criticize our elected officials. But when they step up and do the right thing, they deserve our appreciation. For the next few months, we will be doing everything we can to inform the public and our Representatives in Congress about the ways in which women will be affected by reforms to our immigration system. This hearing is a great place to start. Thank you for joining us.510 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Lisa Moore
