Hello, I am starting this petition because I believe that the United States should seriously think about urging the IOC to relocate the 2014 Winter Olympics, out of Russia. The new Anti-LGBT laws passed there recently have made it clear Russia and its Leaders need to be shown that their Human Rights Violations and other acts of callousness WILL NOT BE TOLERATED! I believe that allowing the games to continue in Russia will only bolster the view of bigots, and thugs, who seek to do harm and embarrass the LGBT community in Russia and to Athletes across the World. Please Mr. President, take a stand and Urge the IOC to relocate the Winter Olympics, to any facility that can be ready in the needed amount of time before the Games start. Thank you!
