Totally off topic, but Change.org petition to recall Aaron Persky, the judge in Stanford rape case

https://www.change.org/p/california-state-house-recall-judge-aaron-persky?recruiter=6608133&utm_source=petitions_share&utm_medium=copylink

This petition has gotten a lot of press. I've seen it mentioned on CNN and MSNBC. They need only 6,521 signatures to make it to 1 million.

If you are unfamiliar with the case there's a link here that explains it pretty well.

Our candidate fights for women, I just thought it might be appropriate to take a minute out and speak up about this travesty of justice. The fight for our mothers, sisters, daughters and women everywhere continues. Signing a petition may not seem like much, but I felt personally that it was important to add my voice to the chorus of people who have risen together to say, this is not okay.

Thanks guys.
