President Obama Wants to Hear from You

Last week, the White House launched a new, online site that allows everyone to weigh in on issues they care about. We the People is the first-ever White House petition site. Users can search for petitions related to issues they care about . . . or create one of their own. Administration officials have declared that any petition garnering 5,000 signatures or more will receive a response from the White House.

Among the issues already highlighted at the petition site are immigration rights for LGBT families, and repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).

We’re getting you started with two petitions we think you’ll care about.

1. Click here to ask the President to support the Uniting American Families Act
2. And here to demand repeal of DOMA

Of course, the White House site is filled with petitions on a variety of issues many of you care about – including multiple petitions for many different causes. So, after adding your voice to the petitions above, search for others, too.

Together, we can send a strong, united message to the President: End the discrimination LGBT families face under federal law.
