Here is a Whitehouse.gov petition asking President Obama to stand up to Russia, and let Vladamir Putin know in the strongest terms that Russia's persecution of our Russian brothers and sisters cannot be tolerated.

Action must be taken, and a line in the sand drawn, before Russia's war on GLBT people escalates any further.

So I ask you to please join me in signing this petition in hopes that we can show our solidarity and support for our family overseas.
