<p>Join me in supporting Michigan high school junior Katy Butler's petition  asking the Motion Picture Association of America to reconsider their  rating of the new documentary film "Bully." Watch the trailer of the  film and sign the petition here: <a href="http://www.change.org/petitions/mpaa-dont-let-the-bullies-win-give-bully-a-pg-13-instead-of-an-r-rating" target="_blank" rel="nofollow nofollow">http://www.change.org/petitions/mpaa-dont-let-the-bullies-win-give-bully-a-pg-13-instead-of-an-r-rating</a><a href="http://www.change.org/petitions/mpaa-dont-let-the-bullies-win-give-bully-a-pg-13-instead-of-an-r-rating">.</a></p>
<p>"Bully," directed by Sundance and Emmy-award-winning filmmaker Lee  Hirsh, offers an unprecedented look into the lives of youth being  bullied and harassed. This acclaimed documentary is scheduled to be  released on March 30, 2012 and has been assigned a rating of "R" by the  MPAA. I believe an R rating excludes the very audience for whom this  film is most important. That's why I ask you to join Katy and over 210,000 others thus far in calling on the MPAA to reconsider their  rating and allow access to those who need to see this film most –  today’s youth and our future leaders.</p>
