Stop bigoted attacks on TLC's "All-American Muslim""All-American Muslim," a reality TV show about the lives of mainstream Muslim Americans, premiered in November on The Learning Channel to critical acclaim and a record 1.7 million viewers. The show portrays five American Muslim families in Dearborn, Michigan and shows the shared values of Americans of all faiths—whether they be Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, or Buddhist. Yet no sooner had the show premiered than anti-Islam hate-mongers called on the TLC's advertisers to pull their commercials in an attempt to strangle the show off of the air. One advertiser has already caved—Lowe's, the big box home improvement store.860 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Sami Elmansoury

Protect the Voting Rights of Egyptians Abroad!We are expressing our strong opposition to the disenfranchisement of Egyptian voters abroad in the lead-up to the parliamentary vote on Monday, November 28. In response to a lawsuit filed by Egyptians abroad, the Egyptian Administrative Court ruled on October 25, 2011 that Egyptian citizens living overseas have the right to vote in parliamentary elections. The court’s decision affirmed the basic civil right of Egyptians abroad to participate in Egyptian electoral politics as full and equal members of Egyptian society. It was a first for Egypt’s 7 to 10 million Egyptian citizens living abroad, and winning this right was a key demand of protesters in Tahrir.78 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Egyptian Community in USA

A small savings for the state but would cause these rural hospitals to drastically reduce their services, cut their staff or possibly close.3,718 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Dianne J Diamond
