Move the Game
In the wake of Arizona's new anti-immigration law, calls for repeal are coming from an unusual source: Major League Baseball players.
Players are demanding the 2011 All-Star Game be moved from Phoenix, AZ unless the new law - which allows police to stop anyone they "reasonably" suspect of being in the country illegally - is repealed.
It's time we get the players' backs. MLB Commissioner Bud Selig has the final decision on whether to move the All Star Game, but he isn't likely to listen to the players unless he hears from fans too.
Can you sign the petition to Commissioner Selig today?
