Dont just send a petition to MSNBC but email or tweet or if they have a Facebook page to the news programs like Hardball with Chris Matthews who just today 9 Feb12 had Tony Perkins on his show and Alex Wagner on her Show Now with Alex Wagner also today. Ask them as I tweeted Alex Wagner would she have the head of the KKK on her show. By the way I already signed the petition. The same Petition should be sent to CNN.

Hi,
When MSNBC wants a Christian perspective on politics, they turn to Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, a right-wing hate group that falsely accuses gays and lesbians of child molestation.
This year, Tony Perkins has appeared on MSNBC more often than Fox News. He's been on Hardball so often that Chris Matthews is now introducing him as "my old pal." And not once has a progressive Christian appeared on the air with him to offer a rebuttal.
MSNBC has built its business on progressive viewers, and they need to hear that we find it unacceptable to provide an unquestioning platform for the religious right's hatred and fear-mongering.
That’s why I just signed a petition urging MSNBC to stop inviting the Family Research Council on the air to represent the views of people of faith. Will you join me?
