Shame on CNN: Apologize for Steubenville coverage.Yesterday a guilty verdict was handed down in the Steubenville rape case, where a 16-year-old girl was raped repeatedly by boys on a high school football team. The verdict was the beginning of justice for this brave young girl, but CNN's coverage was awful. The entire CNN panel, including Candy Crowley, reporter Poppy Harlow and legal analyst Paul Callan focused on what a tragedy this was for the boys and what a shame it was that their lives had been ruined. It was as if the rape was some sort of unfortunate accident and they hadn't committed a very serious, invasive, and, for the survivor, life-altering crime. CNN didn't focus on what this verdict meant for Jane Doe. It only focused on sad reflections of the "destroyed" lives of these boys that were caught raping a girl. This is wrong and CNN owes us all an apology. Can you add your name to the petition?131,458 of 200,000 SignaturesCreated by Nita and Shaunna, UltraViolet

Music Videos need a reality checkMusic videos are highly influential, to young people; much like commercials (but longer) they tell young people what to drink, what to wear, how to wear it, and how to live. The problem is that the images portrayed are many times degrading to women and the disadvantaged. I believe that music videos should provide a disclaimer to inform young people that the lifestyles portrayed are not realistic19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jasmin Canfield

credit checks for employment and insurance need to be outlawedIf you are out of work, injured, sick, or just plain do not make enough money to sustain yourself your credit WILL become bad. Why are we being checked for credit to work or get auto insurance rates? Credit checks have NOTHING to do with work ethic, education, special talents or driving records. Stop this...the jobless rate would go down if ALL applicants are looked at, not just the ones with good credit.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by melissa

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
