Petitions to sign - help good causes
Sign petition to support creation of a law in US that will create jobs for vulnerable and disadvantaged people:
Across America, jobs are getting harder and harder to come by, and people are suffering. But now some in Congress are championing a sensible plan to help make things right.
The Local Jobs for America Act (H.R.4812) would create up to 1 million jobs in the country's hardest-hit communities, and every member of Congress should be behind it.
Will you take a moment to ask your representative to co-sponsor and fight for the bill? Sign the petition here:

Add your name to this petition to protect whales from whale hunting:
The International Whaling Commission has just unveiled a proposal to legalize commercial whale hunting for the first time in 24 years.
Now, countries are deciding whether to support it -- or push back. Already, New Zealand's Foreign Minister has described some provisions as "unacceptable," "inflammatory," and "offensive."
A massive global outcry is needed now, as other key countries choose how to react. Avaaz will deliver this petition to the Commission delegates each time it adds another 100,000 signatures -- sign below and spread the word!
Say no to racial profiling in Arizona, USA - act now!
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer just signed a law that will authorize officers to pull over, question, and detain anyone they have a “reasonable suspicion” to believe is in this country without proper documentation. It’s legalized racial profiling, and it’s an affront on all of our civil rights, especially Latinos. It’s completely unacceptable.
Join us in letting Arizona’s leaders know how we feel, and that there will be consequences. A state that dehumanizes its own people does not deserve our economic support. Sign the petition here: http://presente.org/campaigns/shame
Thank you so much if you do choose to sign or spread the message about any of these valuable causes.
