CBS News: Stop Reporting Obamacare Myths

Monica Sanders, a MoveOn member in Zephyrhills, has started a petition to CBS News Chairman Jeff Fager and CBS President Leslie Moonves,
which says:
CBS News should retract the false report on Obamacare that has become a key right-wing talking point and fire the producers who failed to fact-check the story.......here
One problem: The report was wrong, and has been debunked by other news sources. But Republicans and Fox News have been repeating it over and over to make the case that Obamacare isn't working. CBS should retract the story and hold the producers responsible for the report accountable

ENDA: GOP Bigots Still Said ‘No’!

LGBT Hatred Alive and Well! ENDA Passes Senate 
Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson joined Democrats and a handful of Republicans to move the legislation forward. Republican Sen. Marco Rubio voted against it.

ENDA is supported by over 70% of Americans, including 81% of Democrats, 74% of Independents, and 66% of Republicans.  Even among people who think gay people are icky, there is 50% support for ENDA.  In other words, this one is a no-brainer.
