| Taking on the Patent TrollsOur patent system is meant to encourage innovation and invention. But in recent years, companies called “patent trolls” have used abusive patent litigation designed to threaten innovators in order to extract settlements based on questionable claims.
It costs the economy billions of dollars and undermines American innovation, and today President Obama issued five executive actions and seven legislative recommendations designed to protect innovators from unnecessary litigation and improve the quality patents in our system. Learn how the Administration is taking on patent trolls to protect American innovation. |

Immigration reform bill
We are fast approaching the critical moment that our movement has made possible: S. 744, the bipartisan immigration bill, is expected to be introduced to the full Senate early next week for debate, amendment and a full vote.
We must keep up the pressure to ensure the bill we have been fighting for continues to move forward.
Dial 888-891-3271 or click here to call your Senator now.
We have proven the power of our movement before. Our calls, faxes, and contacts to the Senate helped advance the bill this far — but as this bill moves to the full Senate, it will be even more vulnerable to amendments that could jeopardize the path to citizenship for millions of families.
The Senate has the opportunity to make history by passing a reform law that keeps families together and strengthens our country by creating a pathway to full citizenship. We must make sure that the Senate passes this important bill. Millions of American families depend on it.
Click here to be immediately connected to your Senator and tell them to support immigration reform.
With hope,
