From Congressman Alan Grayson:

Why should launching wars and cutting taxes for the rich require only 50 votes while saving lives requires 60?

Join Rep. Alan Grayson and me in calling for an end to this unfair system. Tell Majority Leader Reid to modify the rules of the Senate to require only 55 votes to invoke cloture instead of 60. Sign the petition today!

Help Protect the Legal Rights of Rape Victims

In 2005, Jamie Leigh Jones was working for a private contractor in Iraq when she was brutally gang-raped by coworkers. Four years later, Jamie is still being denied justice. Jamie can't file U.S. criminal charges because the rape took place overseas, and a fine-print clause in her contract takes away her right to file a lawsuit in the U.S.

Congress is working to protect the rights of rape victims like Jamie. But, shockingly, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is fighting it. They say that it would "set a dangerous precedent" to allow rape victims into court.I signed a petition urging the Chamber of Commerce to stop protecting rapists.
