Hi Candace,
I saw this on another site and yes - I couldn't sign the petition fast enough. Could I ask you to update us if you hear anything more?

I signed this when you first posted it, Candace, and the next day got an e-mail from them saying:

"Feb 15, 2015 — Change.org emailed me today to tell me that they thought this petition was important enough to promote. We have gone from 4000+ supporters to 22, 200+ supporters in about 5 hours! Amazing!!!!"
