Magazine Retailers: Boycott Rolling Stone MagazineRolling Stone thought it was cute to put Boston Marathon Bomber Dzokhar Tsarnaev on the cover of their magazine like he's some sort of rock star. The real rock stars are the survivors, the first responders, the officers who helped in Watertown and those who were murdered by these cowards. Let's show Rolling Stone that this kind of insensitive sensationalist journalism will not be tolerated by banning their magazine from news stands...not just for a month, but indefinitely!96 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael Zildjian

End "Stand Your Ground Laws"Florida's "stand your ground" law set the stage for the miscarriage of justice we just witnessed in the George Zimmerman case, undermining justice in the wake of Trayvon Martin's death. Unfortunately, unless we eradicate "stand your ground" and other "shoot first" laws, which exist in more than 30 states, we will have more Trayvon's and more senseless killings. Please join us in calling on our elected officials to take leadership in dismantling these laws.48,372 of 50,000 SignaturesCreated by Rashad Robinson

Demand Gov. Brown launch an investigation into the mass sterilizations of women at California pri...The LA Times, NYTimes, NPR and other media report that 158 women have undergone sterilization in California prisons without the required approval of the state medical committee between 2005 and 2010. The sterilizations were not medically necessary and the victims report that they were coerced into the procedure. We demand answers -- the idea of forced sterilizations bring up the worst of eugenics and of 1939 Germany, not 2013 California. Who was responsible for these sterilizations? Why were they performed when not medically necessary? Why was one of the women's ovaries removed when she specifically told her doctor she intended to have children in the future? Involuntarily removing a woman’s ovaries or pressuring her into a sterilization while incarcerated is absolutely unacceptable. Demand Gov. Brown immediately launch an investigation to determine who is responsible and to ensure this never happens again.80 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Callahan, Courage Campaign

Valores de familia=Unidad FamiliarEl Representante Daniel Webster afirma que "las familias fuertes hacen contribuciones indispensables para la prosperidad de nuestra nación". Sin embargo, ya la Cámara de Representantes debate la reforma migratoria – y Webster TODAVÍA no apoya una reforma que mantenga las familias unidas. Dile Rep. Webster que apoye las familias de su distrito y que se esfuerce para aprobar una reforma migratoria integral con un camino a la ciudadanía.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Zack Langway

President Obama: Boost the Economy by Lifting 2 Million Workers to a Living WageIn January, President Obama declared that all Americans deserve a living wage. Now, he has the opportunity to quickly and easily make that happen for 2,000,000 Americans by issuing an executive order requiring all federal contractors to comply with the Service Contract Act. Government contractors employ more workers without a living wage than McDonald's and Walmart COMBINED. President Obama can change that with a stroke of his pen.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Eddie Kurtz, Courage Campaign
