Thank you all for your time and dedication to this issue! We have reached quite a milestone of half a million signatures. To date I have not received an answer from any members of the California Assembly despite features on CNN, Reuters, NPR, CBS and various other news sources all over the world including Canada. I have contacted them by every means available to me. Please take a moment out of your day to sign this secondary petition on the White House website. If this petition garners even half the response of my petition here on change.org, President Obama himself has to address the issue publicly. If we get 100,000 signatures in 30 days we can get an offical update on the matter from the whitehouse within 60 days of the 100,000 signature mark! https://wh.gov/isMlY Thank you so much!
