Keep the pressure on CBS: You can't reject progressive ads and then promote Focus on the Family.

Call CBS today.

Keep the pressure on CBS: Pick up the phone and call CBS out on their hypocrisy in accepting an anti-choice ad after rejecting other advocacy spots.

Thanks for being one of more than 142,000 CREDO Action members who signed the petition calling on CBS to reject the anti-choice Super Bowl ad paid for by Focus on the Family. We delivered all of your signatures and asked for a response, but so far, CBS has given no indication they will listen to our voices.

Since CBS has rejected many progressive advocacy spots in the past - and has rejected a gay dating site's ad this year - we must keep the pressure on CBS to not let their hypocritical decision stand.

Please call CBS and urge them to reject the Focus on the Family Super Bowl ad. Click here for talking points and a way to report your call.

In the past, CBS wouldn't allow a group to criticize Bush, wouldn't let a religious group promote its own tolerance of LGBT families and considers a light-hearted dating ad out of bounds. But CBS is perfectly happy to allow Focus on the Family to promote its conservative social agenda to nearly 100 million Americans this Sunday.

Take a few moments to speak out against CBS's hypocrisy. Click here for talking points and a phone number to call to voice your disapproval of CBS's decision to air the Focus on the Family ad.

Thank you for standing up to anti-choice hypocrisy.

"The world is seemingly full of disconnected crises, but Rob Kall begs to differ. An exceptional pattern thinker, he connects a range of contemporary challenges through a framework of bottom-up solutions in a world dominated by top-down thinking. Mining extensive interviews with thought leaders and exploring an eclectic mix of leading-edge ideas, Bottom-Up describes a variety of latent and emergent characteristics of an evolutionary paradigm shift that's changing the world. Whether your focus is in business, leadership, activism, or organizations, Kall offers a practical conceptual map and toolset to engage the planetary evolution taking place all around us. If you want to make a difference and need inspiration for how to participate in this global transformation, there is plenty in this book to draw from."
