Tell the Consumer Product Safety Commission to stop the sale of toxic toys
Although Congress has banned the sale of toxic phthalate-laden toys beginning in February 2009, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has caved to industry pressure and created a loophole that will allow these dangerous toys to be sold indefinitely to unsuspecting parents. Tell the commission that these toxic toys must be banned from store shelves immediately.

Urge the Navy to stop harming whales with high-intensity sonar
