I had never heard of this disgusting practice before:

One might want to take action.

Thank you so much for sharing this important link with all of us. I have now added my name to the petition and sent emails to various groups of friends on my contact list urging them to do the same...

Things like this make me sick. I can't believe that things like this are happening in the world. I hope that this sick practice is brought to an end.

I'll have to check this from home. Work is restricting access for some reason.

Avaaz.org is an international political action org along the lines of "power to the people". Founded in 2007 there are nearly 7,000,000 members.

"Avaaz is a global web movement to bring people-powered politics to decision-making everywhere."

I suspect that's why your company blocks it.

Grrrrrr... :(

Great news for activists who signed this petition at change.org.

Wonderful! It's nice to see signing petitions actually work and do good. I only wish writing to my reps and senators made a difference. They are all conservative republicans.
